Title: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on January 21, 2010, 06:36:02 pm: i'm sick of missing out all the awesome meet ups in portland because i live in fracking eugene, so i propose that we create a meet up in Eugene someday! :D

Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 16, 2010, 06:42:10 pm: I'm living in Eugene and I agree something definitely needs to be planned. I love going to Portland, but it'd be nice to not have to go so far for a meet up. It seems a tad unfair that all the cool things I always miss out on because I live in Eugene, while everything is planned in Portland.

Post by: Tanuki19 on February 16, 2010, 08:26:55 pm: exactly. us eugene kids miss out on all the fun!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on February 16, 2010, 09:32:44 pm: I'm a Eugenian too and I couldn't agree more!!

We should like, have a cosplay invasion and roam around town taking pics, as well as freak the normies out. That would be funn~ xD

Post by: Tanuki19 on February 16, 2010, 09:41:34 pm: oh. my. gawd. YES!!! i wore my lolita outfit downtown once and i got yelled at by some random guy! XD
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 16, 2010, 10:41:14 pm: Normies? In Eugene? That's funny. I went with my friend Misse to the Walmart on West 11th wearing our Zexion and Marluxia wigs. We didn't get any funny looks. Not one. Some old lady even commented on the color of our hair being pretty. Then some guy from the electronics department asked who we were cosplaying. Eugene is full of hippies and other strange people. I admit we're not up there with Portland on the wierd level, but we've got our share.

From what I've heard, all the normies are in Canada, not a single strange person. My goal of scaring normies is to go to Canada with a bunch of chick friends all dressed up in lolita and just walk around enjoying ourselves.

Post by: Tanuki19 on February 16, 2010, 10:52:26 pm: i'm part Canadian and i'm very weird! XD

we should seriously plan a meet up sometime soon! are you all going to the Asian Celebration this weekend?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 16, 2010, 11:43:42 pm: I'm part Canadian too. lolz.

I'm going to try to go.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on February 17, 2010, 12:52:22 am: That's awesome since I'll be taking a road trip to Canada soon. *sudden desire to cosplay there* 8D

But yeah, Eugene is cool like that. There was this one cosplay meet I went to and we made a few heads turn here and there but the environment remained chill the majority of the time. It's still fun getting "wtf" looks from the occasional normie though. xD

Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on February 17, 2010, 07:59:18 pm: YESSSSS!!!

we should plan a meet up at Alton Baker Park in the summer or something!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 17, 2010, 08:55:58 pm: Ooooh. Alton Baker Park would be fun! There's a lot of areas down there that would be good for a photo shoot. Like the bridge and the spiral stairs and some places down near the water. Does anyone know if they still have the fencing up around the pond that the ducks and geese are always at?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on February 17, 2010, 10:17:17 pm: Canada in Canada... *sparkle* I shall doo eet then! I have been convinced! x3

And yes, Alton Baker in the spring would be perfect! There are so many ideal spots for picture taking. <3

@Schemer: I wouldn't know cuz I haven't been there in ages...
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on February 17, 2010, 10:20:35 pm: i dont think they have the fences anymore. there is this AMAZING rose garden near Alton Baker that would be perfect for a photo shoot!!!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on February 17, 2010, 10:38:41 pm: OMG rose garden ftw!! Think of all the gorgeous shots we can take! <33
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on February 17, 2010, 10:41:57 pm: exactly! we'll just have to wait until all the roses are in bloom. and the rose garden is only like 1 and a half miles away from Alton Baker and its a beautiful walk there!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 17, 2010, 11:04:22 pm: That would be nice to go to the rose garden, especially since my Marluxia would probably be coming. lolz.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on February 18, 2010, 12:18:38 am: oh my god that would be so funny! XD
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 18, 2010, 12:01:22 pm: It so would. *as she's reading this*

Marluxia: I will molest those flowers!!
Me: *headdesk* You would.

We definately have to plan it for when the flowers are all in bloom.

Post by: Wuntvor on February 18, 2010, 02:54:27 pm: GAHH!! I have been so busy with school I haven't had time to check the forum in awhile. I was looking to see if there was an Asian Celebration thread and found this one.

Yeah, sorry people. I am the Anime Friday guy that Rem was referring to earlier. Feel free to PM me or check my profile for my e-mail. I will be having Anime Friday tomorrow as well as every Friday at 7:00pm. I will also be at the Asian Celebration if you want to talk to me about stuff there. I will be cosplaying Hohenheim from FMA. If you don't know who that is look for a guy in a long brown coat with a blue bow-tie and blond wig. I will usually be someplace making origami dragons and T-Rexes, so Check the craft room near the cat-ear workshop. I also like playing anime music, so I may be trying to get time on the sound system in that room as well.

What is Anime Friday? Well it is viewing anime every Friday. Duh! ::) I have been having viewing parties at my home every Friday for about five years now. I have download subs of just about every show to air in Japan during that time, as well as a lot of older shows. You name it, I probably have it, or know where I can get it. I have over two terabytes of stuff on drives that I can access from my livingroom. All anime is displayed on a 46" HDTV in the livingroom and played over a 7.1 surround system. I am as good or better than many of the theaters in town for audio quality.

If coming by LTD it is bus #40. Get off at the corner of Elmira and Fairfield.
My address is :

Terry Pleger

I am the only Pleger in the phonebook, so I don't believe anyone who says they couldn't figure out how to contact me. ;D

I almost forgot! If you want a good place for cosplay photo shoots I recommend Hendricks Park (http://eugeneareaparks.com/park.php?id=8). That is THE PLACE to take garden cosplay pictures in Eugene.

??? ??? ??? :-\

Is this some sort of reference to being way out there (as in the planet Pluto) or Mikey's dog Pluto or what. Sorry It is to vague for me to get it.

Hendricks Park is just off of Franklin Blvd, not to far from the U of O. If you are heading toward Springfield (East) then turn right at the last light onto Walnut (The right lane actually forces you to turn) and follow the signs on the left side of the road. I think it is Summit Ave. The park is easy to find.

Post by: Wuntvor on February 19, 2010, 02:34:26 pm: So any of you planning to show up tonight for Anime Friday ??? I haven't gotten any PMs, emails, or phone calls yet. I plan on watching a 6 episode OVA entitled Iria: Zeiram the Animation (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=197) It is a good action flick. I would rate it PG-13 almost R. What is the new rating? TV-MA or something similar. Anyway, contact me if interested in coming. I start at 7:00pm

All along the Skinner's Butte Bike Path heading towards Alton Baker Park(Where the sun is) there's models of each planet. It was part of the Solar System Project. Pluto, I'm guessing since I can't ever find it, has been taken out because NASA says it's not a planet anymore. How have you lived in Eugene and not known about the planets? They've been there for as long as I can remember.

I now of the planets (I used to ride my bike down the path from Day Island Park to Alton Baker Park back in 1980) I just didn't connect the Pluto you were talking about with those. Actually I don't remember where Pluto was. I thought it was around VRC someplace.

Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 19, 2010, 11:48:23 pm: Okay good. Just checking. I was like "umm...what?" That's the only pluto I ever really think about since my curiosity wants to know where it is or used to be since I ride my bike there a lot.

We should...And Pluto is no where near the VRC. I've checked multiple times. I can NEVER find pluto. I found a spot where it possibly could've been at one point.Going on a planet hunt would totally be fun. Would we start at Alton Baker Park where the sun is?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on February 19, 2010, 11:53:09 pm: yeah, thats where we should start. i'm just picturing this group of random cosplayers running around trying to find the planets. XD if i were to ever cosplay someone from Sailor Moon i would pose next to my corresponding planet!!!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 20, 2010, 01:29:53 pm: I should totally get my Uranus and Neptune to come and have them pose next to their planets! Eventually I want to cosplay Sailor Moon for a skit I have with my friend that we want to put on youtube. She's going to be Pluto.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on February 20, 2010, 10:20:00 pm: that would be so awesome, you must do it!

Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 20, 2010, 11:46:36 pm: *shakes fist* And I shall!! The skit is something we thought of at midnight one night. I can't wait to do it. Not sure when we'll get to do it, but it will be be funny.

Post by: The_Emo_Schemer on February 25, 2010, 12:28:25 am: Someday when it's NOT raining. I love the rain, I'm an Oregonian, I can't help it, but I'm ready for summer, like, now. I'm not sure when a good time would really be. I still need to get started on my Edward Elric cosplay. I'm basically down to just Zexion(casual at that, since I can't afford the Orgy coat yet), since Tifa got rendered useless at K-con. I just can't work on any cosplays right now since I'm currently broke. It's really depressing since every time I look at the sewing machine I get the urge to work on cosplay, but then it dawns on me that I can't.

That does help me actually. The next sunny, warm day we have, I'm getting on my bike and going to see if Pluto is there or not.

I'm trying to see how many cosplayers (as well as otakus in general) I can get to form a group on Facebook. The link is at the bottom of my siggy; so if you're from or near Eugene, feel free to join so we can plan future meets and get aquainted with one another. :3
(Sorry for the shameless advertising. xD;; )

Sooo any updates? Ideas for a summer meet? The weather is sorta looking up. *looks out at the cloudy sky* Hopefully soon it will actually look like summer...

Post by: Fuyuko on June 10, 2010, 06:23:30 pm: Awesome. ^.^ I'm thinking we should have it sometime later this month or the next depending on how the weather acts up, as well as everyone's plans. I know I'll be busy on the 19th because of another meet, plus I'll most likely get a job; so the weekend seems ideal for me. What sounds good to you guys? owo

Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 12, 2010, 06:26:47 pm: Okies~ I'll just wait for any others who are interested in this, at least some of the locals who posted here in the first place. xD

While I'm at it, I'll start naming off possible days for the meet. There is the 26th, 27th, July 1st (since it's Canada's birthday, I'm tempted to take off the day just for that. x3 <3), 3rd, 4th (iffy since it is a holiday, unless you guys have no plans and want to celebrate together? OMG, someone needs to cosplay America for this holiday!! 8D)... And there's all the other weekends as well if we need to move the date to a later time for some reason.

As for the meet itself, we need to think of a good meeting spot where we won't get too lost or confused. The last meet I went to here, we met up at the Eugene Station which was no problem for us since everyone knew where it was and we found each other without a problem. Plus, it's right dab in the middle of downtown which is nice. We could do that or meet up at Valley River Mall, get some grub and walk to Polk Park right across the bridge. It's the perfect place for photo opportunities. I take pics every time I go there. I personally prefer the latter but it's up to you guys. :3
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on June 12, 2010, 07:33:24 pm: Canada's birthday sounds adorable!
the mall then park plan seems neat! 8D
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 15, 2010, 07:44:59 pm: So the mall-park plan it is~ Maybe on Canada Day? I'd go all out on Canada if that day worked out, maple leaf face paint and everything. :'D
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3

Post by: RemSaverem on June 17, 2010, 02:12:59 pm: Actually I'm looking for someone who cosplays America, for a Fanfic Theatre performance in the Creation Station for Sunday night at Kumoricon. We got this fantabulous mindblowingly funny fic in last year, a Steven Colbert-Axis Powers Hetalia crossover, and we're just achin' to see it cosplayed........Can any of you help?
(PS I'm in Eugene, and I still haven't seen APH myself but really want to this summer!)
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 17, 2010, 03:43:20 pm: @Ageha: 8D That would be like... SUPER SWEET. I can just imagine a mini crowd of Canadas taking over the ~~world~~ day~ Talk about epic and appropriate! <3

@Rem: I'd totally volunteer if I was able to pull off America's... erm, awesome personality but Canada resides deep within my cosplay genes (if that makes any sense); so it'll be quite difficult for me. Sorry and I wish you good luck on finding one!
Omg, if you can find the time (which you won't need much of since each epi is literally five minutes long xD), you should totally look into it!! Every second is worth it, at least I think so.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Wuntvor on June 17, 2010, 04:09:15 pm: There is always Anime Friday. ;D I have Axis Powers Hetalia so you can always come watch it here. There is always room for more people. Who knows, you might find a new cosplay idea from watching the newest shows coming out. It also gives everyone a great weekly spot to organize there cosplay meets and critique each other. Also we have a sewing machine, a serger, and an embroidery machine and pattern making software. Just thought I would mention that. Oh, and yes, we do cosplay. ;) We also have an on-site seamstress and graphic artist, who will be giving a panel on using Adobe Illustrator for doing comics using vector graphics at the next KumoriCon. She may be able to help any budding artists in the area. :o

So why haven't you come here yet. ??? Every Friday at 7:00PM in Eugene.

Post by: Fuyuko on June 17, 2010, 05:21:37 pm: Well so far, we're looking at July 1st, Canada Day. Meeting place will be inside VRC (in front of Regal Cinemas maybe?), probably around 11:30-12. If any of us are hungry, we could eat together at the food court and then head on over to Polk park across from the mall and take pics, enjoy the hopefully lovely weather, and play games like the classic Glomp Circle, Seme-Uke, and other fun stuff. As an alternative for food if anyone is short on cash, we could each bring something to munch on and have a picnic instead. :3

im so excited are we still going all out with paint and maple..ness, my canada twin?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 20, 2010, 11:55:42 am: Sweet~~~ You are now officially confirmed, as well as your other friends who might come along! I'm super excited as well. x33

Well, it would be nice to add more recognition to the holiday, and of course Canada; so why not? WE MUST BE NOTICED ON OUR BIRFDAY. ;A; Plus, it'll give us an excuse to play with facepaints. 8D

Oh yeah, is there anyone else wanting to go to this?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on June 20, 2010, 07:35:22 pm: Yes, people! Come and frolic among the maple leaves covered in maple syrup with us! You can have some maple syrup~~~~!

have we tried pimping this out to the hetalia thread yet? They might be more inclined to celebrate C' to the Anda's Bday~
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 21, 2010, 01:26:03 pm: Ahh~ that we have not. Brilliant thinking, my twin~

Let us make it known to them! Canada's b-day must be acknowledged! >3
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on June 21, 2010, 04:10:38 pm: OH YEAH, so, gah, summer term for my community college started, taking chemisty DX, and we liek two labs on the 1st,bash in my head now, plz so if our noonish time to meet up could move up the time to around 3ish? ...maybe?

I feel so bad for asking but I really wanna meet up but I can afford to miss those labs. DX

Effing six hours for two labs in one sitting, that should be a crime!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 21, 2010, 04:55:04 pm: D8 That's ebil! Stupid Chemistry!
But sure, I'll be willing to change the time to 3 if you can't make it otherwise. Plus, it'll give everyone else more time to sleep in and prepare beforehand which I'm not objecting to. xD

So, instead of 11:30 or noon, the time of the meet will be at 3 o'clock! Is everyone ok with that?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on June 21, 2010, 09:46:02 pm: O my gosh, thank you so much twiny! <3
because someone was going be cut if i couldnt go. and it would have probably be my lab in question. so would of been worth it though. /egyptian rage but not nessessary anymore! :~D yay.

Okies~ I'll just wait for any others who are interested in this, at least some of the locals who posted here in the first place. xD

July 1st (since it's Canada's birthday)

Plus, it's right dab in the middle of downtown which is nice. We could do that or meet up at Valley River Mall, get some grub and walk to Polk Park right across the bridge. It's the perfect place for photo opportunities. I take pics every time I go there. I personally prefer the latter but it's up to you guys. :3

yes? :3

also, epic canada photoshoot ftw!

@Tanuki: That's awite. You can support Canada as someone else (or yourself/whatever floats your boat). That'll be just as fun~
Oh btw, shall I add you to the attendee list? :3
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on June 23, 2010, 10:21:39 pm: of course! i might just have to not come in cosplay because i dont have any finished ones. but i can at least wear a red hoodie! XD

oh! i have the perfect item you Canada twins can pose with! its a little stuffed bear wearing a Canadian sweater. X3 its so cute. i'll post a picture of it as soon as i can, that is if you guys want to use it.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 23, 2010, 10:59:40 pm: Yaayy~ *adds you to the list* And the red hoodie idea sounds great! x3

OMG, bear with a Canadian sweater?? WANTTOSEEPLZ. 8D
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Wuntvor on June 24, 2010, 12:02:08 am: I can probably come, the question is would you want me to. A 46 year old guy with three women younger than his daughter, dressed in strange clothes walking in a park. Nah, nothing wrong with that. ::)

The only cosplay I really have ready is my Hohenheim. I won't be able to dye my beard for it though. That is a KumoriCon, once a year project. I may wear my wig though.... Or maybe not. :-\ It gets pretty hot and wearing that long dress coat, long sleeve shirt and vest, and being in the sunshine (please don't rain) It could get really uncomfortable really fast. Maybe I'll wear the wig in VRC and take it off when we get to the park? Wait and see.

Does FMA work with Hetalia ??? Let's see

Edward. Why did you burn down our house? >:(
PASTA! ;D

OK, umm... That's just weird. :P

Want me to bring my laptop? I could play AMV's, Hetalia episodes, and Anime Music. Besides Hohenheim needs some sort of bag to carry.

Let me know if you want me to join your group. If you think having an old guy participate will feel weird. I understand. My daughter has had her "Girl Squad" over at the house many times. I am actually getting used to it. I was the narrator for their Sonic the Hedgehog KumoriCon skit a few years ago. Cream the rabbit, Rouge the bat, and a female Shadow in fishnet stockings. That was an interesting skit. Any of you see it?

And you don't have to bring your laptop unless you feel like it and if it's not too much of a hassle. *shrug*

I have just been informed by my instructor that the class that was going to be canceled on the 1st, is now actually going to happen, so I have class from 3:00 - 6:00PM on Thursday the 1st. :'( Any idea how long you guys are going to hang at the park? I can drop in after class if anyone is still there. You are going to be about 2 miles from my house. You are almost in Rem Saverem's (Creation Station) back yard. That park is an easy walk from her place. ;D
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 24, 2010, 09:14:10 pm: Oh nooo, so sorry to hear that. And it couldn't start at a worser time. D:
I'm not certain how long the meet is going to last. Most likely until people have to leave and go home. I'll probably be hanging around for a while afterwards since I won't have anything else to do and not having to worry about curfew.
Wow, I didn't know how close both of your houses were! Kinda nice to know. : D
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on June 24, 2010, 10:48:50 pm: @fukuyo I like your new slightly modified siggy ;) also, what were you planning to wear? we should have to cordinate somehow, eh?

I shall probably end up hanging out till every one gets tired of me. lol just chilling is one of my favorite past times, it could go on for hours. but i still an hour drive home so i better keep that in mind! XD
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 24, 2010, 11:50:14 pm: Why thank you~ Hehe.
And as for attire, I was thinking of the whole casual red hoodie-oh wait, it's summer. Nevermind then. =w=; Ummmmmmmmmmmmm... I dunno. Didn't really consider any alternatives. o_o;;
Do you have any ideas?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on June 25, 2010, 10:55:16 am: haha good think I brought it up! I was just going to wear a red t-shirt with a white maple leave on it~ maybe find somehow to put 'Canada' on the back..or something..lol
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 25, 2010, 12:34:07 pm: Yes, I'm glad you brought it up too. xD;
That sounds simple enough. I'll do the same thing; except with a white shirt and use red stick-on felt and cut out a (attempted) maple leaf. Our shirts will be color-reversed but I think it'll look cool and we'll still look like twins~ x3
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on June 25, 2010, 02:01:17 pm: considering the fact that i am part canadian, naturally i have a crap load of canadian themed things at my house. XD so i think i'll just stick a bunch of canadian flag stickers on my hoodie and call it good. XD or maybe use a canadian flag as a cape!~
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on June 25, 2010, 02:12:00 pm: @fukuyo Felt! why didnt I think of that! XD great idea!

@tanuki that would be so neat! :D

In other news, im going to be bringing my sister, who might be Russia, and maybe one of my guy friends who might be russia as well...yeah, i dont know. (so much russian DX) but anyway, my point was, im gunna paint red maple leaves on one side of our cheeks so we are easily spotted!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on June 25, 2010, 02:32:34 pm: @Tanuki: That sounds AWESOME! Can't wait to see you in your part-Canadian glory. : D

@Ageha: Hehe, thank you thank you. Stick-on felt is my best friend. :3
TWO Russias?? Oh no... They're going to make us become one with Russia, da-I mean, eh? D8;;
But srsly, I'm glad at least your sister can come and hopefully your other friend will be able to as well. The more, the merrier~

Yes I live near Valley River, however on Thursdays I generally work 'til 6 or so.
I will take you up on watching APH (Wuntvor) if I can find a Friday on which I'm off work in time, free, in town, and have slept the night before (having been up literally til 5 am working on Creation Station's Orycon schedule--really).
I actually went to Emerald City Comics yesterday and asked if they had APH for me to rent. They don't; it comes out officially on DVD in 2 months and is around $35-40.
However, while I was there, I put out Orycon publicity cards and picked up The Guild #2. (They were sold out of #s 1 & #3.)

Thanks for the thought, oh you with Canada in your heart, and hey, there may be a willing America out there somewhere. To better enjoy the flavor of the crossover I actually took out from the library "I Am America (And So Can You)" by Stephen Colbert. BTW, the fic is called "A More Perfect Union", and is by animeangelash. I have no idea if it's something y'all can find on the 'net, but if you can, please do, serious giggling shall ensue.

we need to think up games! and whats polk park like, Fuyuko? i dont think i have been there before!
Title: Re: Cosplay Adventure June 19th *updated*
Post by: Fuyuko on June 30, 2010, 09:13:47 pm: @Ageha: Totally. I hope we can find maple candy. That would be just... 83
But yeah, games games... We can play the good con classics like the Glomp Circle, Malaria's (I believe) SemeUke, and fun outdoor-sy games like Daruma-san ga koronda (aka Red light-Green light). Besides those, I can't think of any other good ones.
Polk Park is very green and spacious, perfect for running around and taking pics. The roses should be in bloom, I think. :3

Oh, and to everyone going: we're meeting tomorrow at 3 inside VRC right outside the Regal Cinemas entrance. Here's my cell to contact me by: 541-954-0141. Be sure to let me know who you are and that you're from the forums. :3

Oh yeah, as for the "face paint" idea, I'm going to go slightly less extreme and just doodle on myself using a red marker. That's the closest I can get to face painting. xD;
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on July 01, 2010, 07:11:31 am: I can always bring my little 'on the go' sized red paint and paint anyone who want to be! I think I was going to bring it just in case anyway!

I wish I had been a better leader but I'll work on those skills for the next meet. ^_^ I'm already thinking of plans! (Nah, I'm not eager at all. =w= )

Oh, there's a new season? o: Hm, I may have to give the anime series a chance since I felt kinda "meh" on the manga. It may change my perspective on the series. :3

I took a ton of vid and piccies; so I'll post them up soon as well.

Hooray for pink! It's my favorite color as well. I prefer the softer shades like cherry blossom. That's the color of my room. <3

Yesyesyes definitely! Maybe another one towards the end of summer, or the beginning of fall? There can be like, different themes for each season as well. OMGHALLOWEENCOSPLAYTRICKORTREAT OMGOMGOMG- *slap* Wow, I'm getting ahead of myself here. o_o; Or we can just meet sometime soon-ish. xD;

OMGRLY?? oo: It would be amazing if we could all meet up and go trick or treating!! My neighborhood is a hot spot for all that fun, plus it's super safe; so maybe we could do something like that. : D
And lol, vampire Vocaloids. <3 Sounded like a good time. x3

@Sora: Hello hello~ Yes, we're definitely planning on another meet, and soon; so there will be plenty of fun times waiting ahead. :3

Post by: Wuntvor on July 09, 2010, 08:32:00 am: I've said it many times before, but I'll repeat it again.

Anime Friday - Every Friday night at 7:00pm. Come by and watch Anime with us. Cosplay is encouraged, but not required.

WE HAVE AC!

Will be meeting again tonight. Plan to have First Episode Theater to show all of the new series coming out this month.

PM, E-Mail, or just plain reply, if interested.

This is in Eugene. I have been doing it for 5 years now. Bring your friends with you. Parents welcome. Yada Yada Yada

Post by: Fuyuko on July 09, 2010, 11:09:12 pm: @Ageha: Haha, well there's a nice big playground at my old elementry school which is conveniently located in my neighborhood; so you guys can get away with a ton of shenanegans there. x3

@Sora: That sounds similar to my Halloween plans; except the parties are always held at my place and are hosted by both me and my bff. xD
It would be so sweet to throw a party and have that be the meet, plus the trick or treating AND corn maze! Oh oh! And haunted house! : DD *is getting into it*

@Tanuki: Ah, I figured something came up. No worries. There's always the next meet. :3

Speaking of which, YES, a meet must be in order! I've been thinking and planning on having a picnic or something like that. It doesn't have to be a picnic but you know, something summer-oriented. (having popsicles in the sun, getting a tan while throwing ball, etc.) What do you guys think? :3

Fuyu, i totally love you. If we did end up doing all that, it would serious be one the best days/nights of my life. I adore doing alot of stuff at night time. party night owl here

ALSO, picnic! good idea! but we are coming from an hour away so im not sure how well food will travel with us? (food is not my specialty, unless its eating it) but tanning and playing sports is what summer is all about, me and sahara (oslapeso, who was iceland) live for summer so we are game for all the above. we have rollar blades and serverly underused Air Gear cosplay (rollar blade anime pretty much lol its fab) so thatd be a fun thing. so all in all i approve.
i pretty much work on weekends, and i dont think i can ask for days off for a while considering i just started that job about 3 weeks ago? so......;A;
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Soramunesanzun on July 10, 2010, 05:29:14 pm: yes, lets! I'm at a musical theatre camp for the next two weeks, but after that... I'm free :DD
The idea of a picnic is wonderful! maybe at Hendricks park so we can have som shade as well :DD
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Tanuki19 on July 16, 2010, 12:52:02 am: yes, i prefer much shade. i am really pale and prefer not to turn from paper white to tomato red. XD
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on July 16, 2010, 04:17:44 am: @Ageha: Well then, we could arrange to make that happen somehow. ^_^ WHOOP. NIGHT OWL POWAH. x3
And yeah, it wouldn't be a brilliant idea to bring refrigerated or frozen foods on a one hour drive; especially during the summer. :/ Since I'm local and will arrive quicker, I or other locals could be in charge of that. Now, if coolers weren't such a pain to carry around without a car, I'd totally bring one along with me on the bus... but no.
It would be awesome if you guys brought fun outdoor games if you have any good ones. That'll mean less sitting around bored and more activity! So yeah, that seems like something more of your forte that you could be in charge of. :3

@Sora: Musical theatre camp? That sounds so amazingly fun!! Musicals are the best! Enjoy that last week. ^.^
Hm, I'm not as familiar with Hendrick's Park but it does seem like a more ideal picnic location with the heat wave and all. Yeah, Hendrick's Park it is. :3

So it sounds like we'll have to have the meet a bit later-ish according to some schedules. Perhaps near the end of this month or the beginning of the next?
I'll be gone by mid August for my trip to Canada; so if anyone prefers to have the meet around that time and wants to plan ahead for it, be my guest~

Hendricks Park (http://eugeneareaparks.com/park.php?id=8) would be awesome. If you want to go out to eat The Empire Buffet is on Franklin right next to where you turn to go to the park. I highly recommend it for those who like Asian cuisine.

Yeah! Y'all in Eugene should come to our shows! The first one is Wednesday at 2:00, in the south eugene high auditorium. The second is Friday, not sure of the time just yet. I'll keep you updated. They are two different shows with completely different numbers, so coming to both is encouraged.

I'm not that much either, but it's pretty and shady and we can cosplay there and happy happy joy joy. So maybe we should plan for, say, the 30th? in the early afternoon?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on July 17, 2010, 01:02:07 am: I have to work on the 30th ;-; and im kinda saving up my time off for Kcon and a Lady gaga concert in august... (OMG THATS NEXT MONTH! o.O) If it was on that sunday, or thursday or something... thatd be good ^^;

But I thought about asking what was good in manga, as I just watch anime now. And I didn't feel like being embarrassed by asking if you knew of me from these forums, only to find out this person had never heard of these forums.

Plus, I'm a bridesmaid for my bff and the other bridesmaids and I are planning on throwing a bridal shower the day after that. Not to mention the wedding being four days later. Eep. o_o;

I'm off on Sundays and almost every other day I can do stuff in the morning/ early-mid afternoon times too~ I'm just gonna be busy on August 1st for FaerieWorlds and on August 15th for the Scandinavian Fest~

And then after KumoriCon there is always The Mt. Angel Oktoberfest (http://www.oktoberfest.org/).

Quite a bit bigger than the Scandinavian Festival, but pretty much the same stuff. Go to the church! It is AWESOME! (http://rhmpano.com/rhm/org/stmaryparishmao/t1280.htm) :o It would be so much fun to take some Trinity Blood or Chrono Crusade cosplay pics in there. They often have a harpist and a flutist play and sing celtic music during Oktoberfest. One time they had The Bells of the Cascades play the bells in there. That was really nice. They have Alpine-horns there every year as well. Don't forget your weiderhosen! ;D

Haha you should gooooo~ I dunno, we could totally make a cosplay day out of it~ <3 I'm definitely going on the 15th so if anyone else wants to go that day that'd be awesome too~ <3 Oh gosh, Nordic cosplay would be so cool~ I haven't gotten around to making Finland yet lol. I sorta put him off for couple of cons.

And wow, Oktoberfest looks cool! I'd totally go, but I think I'm doing Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire the weekend before, so I might not make it. -might be dead tired-

Post by: Fuyuko on July 20, 2010, 05:55:28 pm: Whaaa~ All of those festivals sound so fun! *o*

I've never been to FaerieWorlds and I'm super curious about it! I'm so tempted to cosplay England and go ga ga over everything... but I don't think I will. xD I'll just go ga ga as a faerie or some other mythical creature. I'm not sure if I'll go since the tickets are a bit on the pricey range but... ohh it's so tempting! >_<

I'll see if I can make it to the Scandinavian Fest somehow since I'll be leaving for Canada right before then... Oh wait, I can't go on the 15th cuz my company's picnic is on that day. Crap. D'x Oh well, I can always go on another day. And OMG, cosplaying there sounds so... ideal; especially the Nordics. I wanna go as one of them now~ <3

This motivates me to go to festivals more often now. :3

Post by: Radien on July 23, 2010, 10:35:27 pm: Sooo, uhhh... Has this topic turned from "meet-up in Eugene" to "which events are fun in Eugene?"?

A Eugene meet-up doesn't require any special event. In fact, considering it doesn't happen much, it might be better to do something more casual first. For instance, Toshi's Ramen and the Sushi Station are both good places to just meet and hang out and talk about fan stuff.

I wouldn't say that~ It's just cool to know what events people are going to because then you can plan to possibly go together if you're attending the same event. I'd say that qualifies as a sort of meet-up too~

Also yeah, I love Sushi Station and go there fairly often anyway~ It would be a great place for a meet-up. Toshi's is pretty good, too. n.n

I'm just speaking from personal experience. If you meet up to do something casual, the focus can be on the meeting part; if you do a bigger event then the focus is on the event. And the bigger the event, the harder it is to run into people. Doesn't mean you can't go together, but it has to be very intentional.

That said, I'm considering going to Faerieworlds. It's just the expense that concerns me.

Which would people like more: ramen or sushi? Having been to Japan I can say that Toshi's is pretty authentic. I haven't been to Sushi Station in years, so I dunno.

Post by: RemSaverem on July 24, 2010, 10:33:59 am: I went to Terry's Anime Friday last night for the first time in years, & it was awesome. There are now 2 new shows I'd enjoy following, that I never would've heard of. Meantime I will be at the Sunday of Faerieworlds to see my pals' pirate band, Man Overboard. Radien, are you in Free Shakespeare again? Albeit that Macbeth is quite gloomy, I always go for AnnMarie's costuming & performances, & usually in garb.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on July 24, 2010, 04:45:55 pm: Ahh Toshi's. I've only been there once and it happened to have been at a cosplay meet-up but I ate right before and I so badly wanted to try it. I even ordered a bowl and tried to enjoy it but I was too full. x'D
I've never been to Sushi Station and I've heard some good things about it; so I'm up for trying that.

@Radien: I personally prefer sushi since it's a healthier choice but I wouldn't mind ramen either. They're both equally yummy. :3

But yeah, Radien brings up a good point. We could do something quick and casual instead of planning something bigger that takes more time and effort to organize but I also want to at least do something special before the end of summer.

So, back to planning~ For the next upcoming meet, should we go for something simple like going out to eat and wandering downtown, or do something bigger like a picnic and all that jazz? We could do both too; first the casual meet, then the bigger one to celebrate the end of summer? What do you guys think?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: GenkiIchigo on July 24, 2010, 05:21:19 pm: This is true~ Both sound really, really cool. I prefer sushi as well. Toshi's is really good also though!

Oh wow, a picnic sounds really fun too. I'm up for whatever option ends up being best for everyone else~

@Rem: Oh yayyy~ We might see you at Faerieworlds then!

I will probably next be at Terry's 2 weeks from yesterday & would love company. I might be bringing a couple who are friends of mine from another part of my life, the guy would be new to anime, they cosplay like faeries & stuff though, & are going to FW w/me. They are 18 & from Medford

Post by: AgehaIX on July 24, 2010, 10:36:20 pm: Well on the bigger events, we were just saying, 'hey, thats coming up!' and then others were like, 'woah! sounds cool' but we werent really planning to all try and go, right? im pretty sure ._.

And im up for anything too! but i do love running around like a maniac so id probably be more suited to the park and picnics but im just being self centered! XD Im fine with whatever yall want! as long as we all do it together~! <3

The only eugene resturauntsi have been to are the food court at the VR mall,but those dont count and surrounding resturaunts there only the mexican ones. yum. haha ^^; so diversity and new discoveries would also be fun!

I went to Terry's Anime Friday last night for the first time in years, & it was awesome. There are now 2 new shows I'd enjoy following, that I never would've heard of. Meantime I will be at the Sunday of Faerieworlds to see my pals' pirate band, Man Overboard. Radien, are you in Free Shakespeare again? Albeit that Macbeth is quite gloomy, I always go for AnnMarie's costuming & performances, & usually in garb.

No, I'm not involved in it this year. Hmmm... we really need to talk sometime. I think I've inadvertently left you out of the loop of a lot of stuff. Drop me a line? Phone maybe?

Hey, no problem! I think the conversation was just flowing as they are apt to do. After all, it's summer and we all wanna get out and do stuff, with or without an organized group, right?

I suggest we go out to eat and then figure out a place to hang out after that. A park, a mall, or whatever. It depends on what people feel like and what transportation is available.

@Radien: I personally prefer sushi since it's a healthier choice but I wouldn't mind ramen either. They're both equally yummy. :3

Well, it's not the healthiest thing in the WORLD, per se, but... surely it's not exactly horrible? It seems awfully similar to chicken noodle soup in its ingredients, so I always assumed it was nutrionally similar... (and yes, I know chicken noodle soup is high in sodium)

But I second your notion: sushi and traditional ramen are both equally yummy, so I'll take either. :) I realize sushi has some cult popularity amongst anime fans, and I've been wanting to try out Sushi Station.

Quote from: Fuyuko on July 24, 2010, 04:45:55 pm
We could do both too; first the casual meet, then the bigger one to celebrate the end of summer? What do you guys think?

I am totally down for that. 100% of the above post. How about Sushi Station within the next two weeks?

I have to bow out of anything involving sushi. For 12 years my best friend was a fish. A green severum, South American cichlid. She died in late May, may she rest in peace, be well-reborn, & find me again. I could handle Toshi's sometime, as they can make a vegetarian broth (I think).

@ Radien, just PM me, or call/text 541 606 0318. I'm sure you've left me out of many loops. However I remember running into you at Roving Park Players last year. Are you going tonight?

Yeah! Me and ainekatt (the girl doing jamie/sarah jane) both live in eugene :D So we can go box-hunting sometime, for sure!

I actually don't like sushi that much, I was just intending to get a soda or something and chat with other people haha. Toshi's does have vegetarian options.

Also, just because we're cosplaying doesn't mean we have to eat japanese food. We could all go to subway or something, too :D

@Fuyuko: Oh my gosh that's awesome! You have my number so you can text me, right? It would be awesome to see you there~ 8D

Also, Sushi station has a pretty varied menu of things other than sushi for those who may not like it~ It is true though, that we don't have to eat Japanese food. XD Something like Subway would be less expensive, also.

less expensive,
We are poor teenagers who spend what little money we have on cosplay.

Those two words are good words.

Post by: Fuyuko on July 26, 2010, 03:19:00 pm: @Genki: Yup yup, I has it~ I'll totally text you once I get there. I'm really excited now! x3

Food-wise, I'm fine with anything; so wherever we end up going, I'll tag along happily. :3
I like the idea of going to a cheaper place though. Like Sora, I've become more attracted to the words "less expensive" and any other words associated with them. Cosplay. <- The epidemy of expensive.

@Soramunesanzun: Ahaha yes. I am very much attracted to the less expensive as well~ XD

On another note, I went to Toshi's today and had their cold ramen for the first time. It was heavenly~ <3 I can find something that I'll like just about anywhere probably, so I'm down with wherever! n.n

I'm glad there's cold ramen; it's too hot for soup.
And
WOO HOOOOO!! Heck yeah I am all about having help for Project: TARDIS.

Are there any movies out, or coming out, that folks might want to see together?
I haven't seen Last Airbender, for example.

Post by: Soramunesanzun on July 26, 2010, 11:54:12 pm: So no matter what at least one person won't be able to go.

Okay, cool. Just gonna look at my calendar and throw out a couple of ideas:

Wednesday the fourth or thereabouts, cosplay wanderings? We could go to VRC and eat there, go to various stores and otherwise wander, and then possibly see a movie? + take pictures. We could do some at the mall and also go over to the park and river.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on July 27, 2010, 02:13:34 am: Sunday is out for me, but here's my advice: whoever decides to head this up, pick a time, and announce it. Yes, someone will always be unable to go. The important part is how many people CAN go, not who can't. For the people who can't go, there will always be next time. It's better than canceling the fun this time.

I will encourage this by saying: pick a time, and if I can come, I will. If not, no biggie. The important part is knowing (and knowing is half the battle).

@Rem: Mwahaha, Project TARDIS. Hope to see that. Glad I caught you on Facebook; I'll text you sometime too.

Eh, the mall seems kinda lame, but I've got nothing against VRC, and we can always migrate. I didn't know they had a wig store, either, and wigs are pretty central to cosplayer culture, I must acknowledge.

I can do early in the day on the 4th as you suggested. Unless there is mass opposition to the date, I'll see you there!

also~ does it matter what kind of cosplay we bring, like is it going to be whatevr you want, righto?

Post by: Soramunesanzun on July 27, 2010, 02:24:03 pm: No problem xD I have this compulsion to organize events haha you should see my ical for the month before kcon.

So, show up at noon-ish, we'll stick around there for about fifteen minutes or so. Otherwise just look for the group of cosplayers in the mall xD

Bring whatever, man! :D I'm gonna wear sailor moon, for the reference of other people. Also, I'm bringing a good number of people who aren't on this thread too, so bring aaaaall the people you want!

so we're looking at the seventeenth or eighteenth?

I am finished with my schooling for the term, so I have the 17th free now. I am still attending my co-op on Mon, Wed, Fri till 3:00PM, so I will second Tuesday the 17th.

So where is the picnic? I have seen mention of Hendricks park. It is a beautiful location, perfect for cosplay shoots, and does have a picnic area. Another option is to have a photo-shoot at Hendricks park and eat lunch at The Empire Buffet. Of course that costs money, and we are all saving money for con. I guess the question is what are we going to eat? is it a bring your own lunch style picnic, or a potluck?

I suppose we could also have the picnic at Skinners Butte. It is within walking distance of the Owen Memorial Rose Garden, and it has a lot of shade and a view of the river, as well as playground equipment. Not high on my list of things needed, but I see a lot of it in cosplay photos.

As usual, you are always welcome to attend Anime Friday at my place every Friday. If you bring food be willing to share. ;D

Post by: Fuyuko on August 10, 2010, 10:08:19 pm: SO! The 17th at noon, right? Cuz that's usually the time for most meets. :3

What is everyone going to bring food and drink-wise? We should discuss this~
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Soramunesanzun on August 10, 2010, 10:44:13 pm: noon is too early, last time we had very few people, as you know. we were thinking one.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on August 10, 2010, 11:28:47 pm: Tuesday at noon next week? Weird, noon on a weekday. Well, I'm free for the time being. I can get myself directions to Hendricks Park.

Usually if you want to do potluck, it's good to assign categories. The three main categories are entree, salad, and dessert, in order of priority.

Beyond that, there are drinks, bread, chips and other snacks, plus sides, but those don't make a meal on their own.

Who wants to bring what? Would this mostly be picnic fare? I'm not sure what would be best from my personal menu.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Soramunesanzun on August 11, 2010, 01:45:53 am: Just bring any type of food.

The meetup is Tuesday the seventeenth at one.
Here, I'll make a master post for potluck items.

Entree-
Hannah- pasta

Salad-
Radien- Mediterranean
Fuyuko- Potato

Dessert-
GenkiIchigo- cupcakes

Drinks-
Sora- soda type drinks

Snacks-
Microgamer- asian munchies
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: GenkiIchigo on August 11, 2010, 02:02:36 am: Yayyy I'll definitely be coming to this~ I can bring a dessert~ I'll probably make something like cupcakes if that's alright. n.n<3 If we end up needing anything else desperately, I'll see about bringing something else as well.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on August 11, 2010, 02:34:16 am: Thanks Sora. :) Ooh, I know. Something I can easily make on my own that's quite tasty: Mediterranean salad. Wish I had a better name for it, but it has romaine lettuce, feta cheese, cranberries, pecans or walnuts, and vinaigrette dressing. And I can mix in grilled chicken to make it more filling, if we need a salad entree`. (I can bring a separate container of chicken bites just in case we have any vegetarians/vegans or people who don't want chicken...)
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on August 11, 2010, 02:35:43 am: I could bring yummy potato salad. That's what I'll be taking with me to the Y/Y picnic; so I might as well double the batch. :3

I don't know how people are planning to travel to the picnic, but I will have my car. I don't have a problem driving over to the campus to pick microgamer up around 12:30. Where on campus is a good spot to meet, or to be more precise where is your class and what is close? Also, how will I know you when I see you? I will be driving a silver Pontiac Vibe. I will most likely have the windows down and the sound of anime music will be coming from the car. ;D I don't think I will be wearing my cosplay, since it is rather warm, I will most likely be wearing some sort of Anime themed T-shirt. I plan to start dying my beard blond this weekend, so I will have a blond beard and sideburns and brown hair. My beard is styled like Hohenheim from FMA, so I don't think you will have any problem recognizing me. ;)

Thank you so much. My class is at Condon so does meeting at the corner of 13th and Kincaid work? I'll probably tell you what I'm going to be wearing that day, whether it be casual or cosplay. I'm willing to do either, depending on what everyone else decides to do.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on August 13, 2010, 01:26:04 am: I'm afraid I don't currently have a cosplay that could be considered casual and comfortable. So I'll just be in "civvies." Naturally, it will involve an otaku-ish shirt of some sort, because I can.

I have a black newsboy cap I've been fond of lately. If it helps, I'll wear it.

Oh, and a notion: unless we are responsible for our own eating utensils, we will probably need paper plates, napkins, cups, and plasticware. Is anyone going to bring those?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: AgehaIX on August 13, 2010, 09:34:02 am: I can do those! but to be sure, how many people are coming...?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on August 13, 2010, 07:18:13 pm: @Ageha: I counted six according to the list of people bringing food which is basically everyone who said they will be attending.

Post by: Soramunesanzun on August 13, 2010, 11:12:57 pm: Oh, please cosplay! I will definitely be in costume and so will be some of my friends. I am bringing several people who are not on the list for foods, as they haven't yet said what they'll bring. But... the count of people (including people on this thread) will be over 12.

Need to watch the number of people. If you have more than 20 you need to pay for a park permit (http://www.eugene-or.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=217&PageID=1538&cached=true&mode=2&userID=2). :o
Have we decided on where the picnic will be held at the park? The Francis M. Wilkins Shelter (http://www.eugene-or.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=677&PageID=1569&cached=true&mode=2&userID=2) is the obvious place, but without having a reservation, there is no guarantee it will be free. I would guess that on a Tuesday afternoon that wouldn't be a problem. There are also a couple of picnic tables over by the swings, if I remember correctly. They are first come first serve. In the actual park area, I am pretty sure they don't have any picnic tables. There are park benches, trails, and water features. There is a large open grassy area with trees that I often see people laying on or reading with their back to a tree. I doubt you want to go laying in the grass (grass stains on your cosplay). I suggest the FMW Shelter as a good meeting location. It is easy to find, sort of central to the other locations, and has parking in front. It is also shady so you won't be in direct sunlight. The gardens are all uphill from it, but you end up going up and down the hill to see everything anyway. :)
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Soramunesanzun on August 14, 2010, 05:06:51 pm: Yeah, I'm a little nervous about that. I Want lots of people to come, but I don't have money for a park permit.

Oh, yeah. There are a couple of tables over by one of the parking lots, and I was thinking we could meet up there. I'll be sure to get there early, so just look for people dressed funny :D I'm thinking the one with the swings.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on August 16, 2010, 07:15:51 am: In the unlikely scenario that we have more than 20 people, can we do an impromptu commute to another location? Sounds like we'll have enough cars.

Yeah, I'm guessing it won't be difficult to identify people. I doubt anyone will have to worry about my normal-looking black hat. Silly me.

So I'm just gonna be wearing a knitted panda cap, a black shirt with a white seal/emblem, and board shorts. I'll be waiting on the campus side of 13th and Kincaid, facing the traffic that's coming towards campus on 13th.

Post by: GenkiIchigo on August 16, 2010, 03:17:43 pm: Somehow I really doubt we'll have over 20 people. I'm sure if we do we'll be able to move though. XD Maybe to another park or something. I've never been to Hendricks park before, but do they seriously check to see how many people are in a group, usually?

Other than that, yayyyy~ I baked cupcakes this morning~ I might make some cookies too, if I have time. XD

So I got done making the potato salad and according to my mom, it tastes amazing; so that made me proud. ^w^ I hope you guys will think the same~

I still haven't decided on a cosplay yet but I'll think of one by later today... right before the meet. xD;

Microgamer, I'll be there at 12:30pm. Silver Pontiac Vibe (just washed). I'm wearing tan shorts and my light gray Naruto T-shirt. I always have on a Navy blue Greek sailor cap (really, always). :D

I just don't want to bring my cosplay because it is to hot for a long dress coat, long sleeve shirt and a vest. Even just the long sleeve shirt and suspenders is a bit much when it is in the upper 80's or low 90's. The wig also acts as a heat trap on my head. I get hot really fast when I wear it.

I'm bringing watermelon. ;D No, I am not bringing a blindfold and a stick. ::) We are not at the beach :P

I will have my laptop with me so we can watch anime. Any requests? I won't have my entire 3TB collection of fansubs (it is scattered over 4 drives) so let me know what you want to see so I can bring it along. :-\

Thanks guys, it was fun. Next time maybe I'll wear a costume so I'll be worth photographing. I totally forgot about my Apollo Justice costume; it'll be good for a comfortable costume in the future. I enjoyed meeting everybody.

May I just throw this out there: a Eugene cosplayers get-together at con?

Just, yanno, sayin'.

While I am in favor of fraternizing at the con, I think it'd make more sense to take the opportunity to have an actual Eugene Cosplay Group in the future, and perhaps do a theme. I suggest Phoenix Wright since it turns out we already have 3 or 4 Phoenix Wright series cosplayers among us. Of course, this may not happen until next year, so feel free to attempt any Eugenian gathering at the con that you wish. However I think it'd make sense if we stayed AT the con for such a gathering, and perhaps even did something con-related.

Don't like the designs? I can't imagine why not.

Although I'd go on to say that it's not about the costume design first and foremost. It's about... forgive the pun... the "mad props." As Apollo Justice I carry around a briefcase and a number of signs that say "OBJECTION!" and "TAKE THAT!" etc. It is extremely fun to point a finger and pose wildly with an exclamatory sign. The Sakura Con Phoenix Wright cosplayers have a great time, posing for "briefcase duels" and the like. Not to mention, a comfy suit with wild hair is an enjoyable combination.

Anyway, again, my main reasoning is that a number of us already have Phoenix Wright cosplays, and Phoenix Wright costumes are often very easy to put together since they involve a lot of standard modern day clothing. It would make more sense for a first series than choosing a series no one has a costume from yet.

I like the idea of a Ghibli group too, though I can't guarantee I'd be able to participate. Again, I'd like to know how many people ALREADY have Ghibli costumes. For a first group theme I think we should take the path of least resistance.

Don't worry about looking mish-mashed. Ghibli fans will be MORE excited to see multiple films represented, and it'll make the more obscure cosplays more recognizable. At Sakura Con I saw a Nausicaa cosplayer with a Totoro cosplayer, and they looked very natural together due to Ghibli's unique style.

Have no idea who that is. I'd recommend something well-known.

EDIT: Oh, the guy who did Galaxy Express 999. Eh, I think it's a bit old school for our group. Even I haven't seen anything but Interstella 555, and most of the group is younger than me.

Post by: Soramunesanzun on August 21, 2010, 11:40:25 pm: Getting this many people to all like something and cosplay from the same fandom is really unlikely. We could do smaller groups, but not one this big. More like "Hey, this amount of people in eugene havea costume from this fandom, let's have a meetup!" or "hey, this small group likes this fandom, let's make a set!"
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on August 21, 2010, 11:49:35 pm: Addendum:

Waitaminnit. What if we DID do Interstella 555? That'd be awesome. For those of you who don't know, that's the Daft Punk rock opera, set to the music from the album "Discovery." Specifically, we could do the human versions of the Crescendolls. They have more street clothes than most cosplays do.

I'll be going with my wife. She needs to get with her partner and go over her sewing panel plans, and reacquaint herself with the hotel layout. We also need to drop by our daughter and her fiancees place, and drop off some cosplay stuff of theirs. Ahh, 4 hours of driving in the sun, I am so NOT looking forward to it. :P

@Malaria: ~~I'll bring the fezzes, you bring the tweed? lol~~

Just spent part of the weekend watching series 2 Confidential Cut-Downs & some of David's video diaries.

@ Wuntvor, Congrats on your daughter's engagement. Say hi for me. I remember fondly collaborating with her on my art show at the Jawbreaker Gallery.

@ those not going to meeting--I went to the 1 2 wks ago. I am commuting back to Eugene 4 days in a row less than 2 weeks from now & just couldn't do it, can get more done for Creation Station from home (finishing scheduling, working on fanfic contest, pimping panels on forums) plus I don't want to risk "con crud" getting me or vice versa (hopefully present sniffles are just allergies).

@ FB group, I will look for that asap!

In garb??

The person who makes all the costumes, and who is crossplaying one of the male characters, is my and Radien's friend AnnMarie. She made my first real "garb" i.e. middle ages type clothing for LARPing in the SCA. I designed it, we collaborated to pick materials, she sewed it, she is amazing.

If you might be up for that for tonight, or next Sunday let me know here, Facebook, or call/text (541) 606-0318.

I won't go next Sat because I'll be watching the last 2 eps of Persons Unknown! I might be the only person from Kumoricon who even knows it exists besides Squeek.

One of my panelists posted on my Facebook he'd like to view my dreams as a TV show.
Instantly I dreamt up a crossover of Inception & Strange Days with Dr. Who series 1, 9th Dr./Rose Satellite 5 (where Simon Pegg was The Editor). In my vision, the newest reality show broadcast from Satellite 5 involves actually watching & feeling others' dreams, wearing headsets like in Strange Days. Someone who wants to overthrow the tyranny controlling the human populace manages to learn the techniques from Inception to plant revolutionary thoughts & actions into a soon-to-be-mass-broadcast dream.

I counted at least three of us who have interest in Phoenix Wright cosplay. Are there 3 costumes among us? If so, that's enough for a cosplay group at con this year.

Hmm, for that matter, I wonder if there's a Phoenix Wright photo shoot... I don't think there is... Maybe I should schedule one.

I was not suggesting their "smurf alien/Blue Man Group" versions. ;) Remember how they were disguised as humans? That's what I'm suggesting. I've really wanted to see a Crescendolls group. But if few to none of us are interested, then never mind.

I know about ball-jointed dolls/Dollfie. I imagine the people calling them "anime dolls" have seen the dolls that fans have dressed up in anime costumes, because I've never heard them called that. I don't see why we'd ever frown on them. If you want to keep company with fellow BJD owners, though, you'll have to check and see if any of us share your interest.

I went last night... I would join you but I'm not sure I want to sit through a Shakespeare tragedy again. You'll enjoy Annmarie, though. She certainly wasn't type-cast; that's for sure. I think they cast her as Banquo because there aren't enough large female roles, and she's too good to waste on a small role. Or perhaps she just read really well for Banquo.

My new favorite character from the play, MacDuff, was also played by a girl.

Good thing the Crescendolls have a wide variety of people, eh? :)

Thanks, we should keep a tally of people who are interested, I guess. I think whatever's the most popular series among us should be the first group we attempt, if any.

so are we making different cosplay groups or one big one?

I just wanted to be realistic: if we do a cosplay theme, it'll be really tough to make sure everyone in the group has a suitable costume, so it'll probably be just a few of us with themed costumes.

And if we don't worry about a theme, then I'd assume everybody already has some kind of cosplay in their closet, but there wouldn't be anything special about us at the con except that we're all from the Eugene area. (UNLESS, of course, we entered a skit into the cosplay contest.)

Outside of the con, of course, we can have costumed get-togethers and have fun, and that will be its own reward, eh?

I would think it would make sense to stay one big group, but occasionally have specific theme photoshoots for particular fandoms.

This. But at the same time i'm also part of another group, which is whay i'm going to dedicate my costume-making attention to.

Well, no, it wasn't you who said that. Just some were worried it'd distract from the casual hangout idea. I certainly hope it doesn't. :)

True, but when I was suggested a themed group, I meant at a con. It's a bit late to organize anything like that for this year, but there's always next year. And Sakura Con.

(Hmmm. Just realized, I don't think there's a Phoenix Wright photo shoot scheduled at Kumori, either. Shoot. Phoenix Wright is pretty big at Sakura Con. Wonder how many there'll be at Kumori.)

...Sorry, rambling.

@Tanuki: I think it's like what was said before about having smaller groups within the group sometimes. Even if everyone can't make it, the people who can could still do a themed cosplay at Sak if they wanted to. n.n

I'm up for whatever. I like our casual meet-ups, but I wouldn't object to doing a themed cosplay sometime~ n.n

Thanks, GenkiIchigo. You put it better than I probably could have.

But just to reiterate: I am NOT suggesting we all put on matching costumes and go out in the woods to take pictures. We can go out in the woods, and costumes would be great. Photos may happen. But there won't be a dress code.

If some of us happen to be going to the same convention, though, we could do something on the side. Make sense? After all, what is a cosplayer if not thinking about their next costume?

Sorry about that. Why don't we try to think of something else that's a little further away so we have time to prepare? (either our own thing or attending an event together)

EDIT: Like, Kumori Con?... Haha, obviously I wasn't thinking that. I meant after Kumori Con. We could meet up AT Kumori Con, I guess, but there's slightly less reason to do it since we'll be around con-goers from all sorts of other areas.

I still think the church would be awesome for any religious themed cosplay pics. Axis powers Hungary would fit right in as a Oktoberfest costume. ;D

Plus there is just tons of fun stuff to do! And the car show on the weekend. Cosplay with cool cars anyone? Free carnival rides and magic show, juggling, and a petting zoo. Ride the pony. Horse drawn carriage rides. Just a suggestion.

It is just out of Salem. About an hour trip. There is also Silver Falls really close by for a side excursion. Walk behind the falls. There are seven different falls altogether, if you take the hike. I warn you, the full hike is a long one.

I'll be going for sure. Not sure what days exactly. We usually go early, because it is cheaper on the weekdays. They raise the prices for the live shows and beer & wine gardens on the weekend. Of course the carnival and car shows aren't until the weekend, so... :-\

I wouldn't mind meeting shortly after con. In addition to always wanting more after con is over, I go back to school in late September, so I'll have more free time earlier in the month.

Wuntvor:

I didn't originally have any interest in that, but you really do a good job selling it... if enough people from this thread would like to go, I'd be happy to join for a carpool. Salem isn't that far away. Once, I actually commuted from here to Salem 4 times a week for several months to work a temporary position.

LARPing in the woods?... Man, I know of a lot members who wouldn't like that description...

SCA sounds like an okay substitute for con, but it's more of a refocusing because SCA is a quite different atmosphere: laid back, outdoors, and unplugged, as opposed to conventions, which are caffeinated, indoors, and wired.

And I still go to SCA events, but I have an SCA household now. So if you ever lack people to go with, let me know, Rem. I haven't been to many this year for personal reasons. (Neither money issues nor friend drama, mind you)

Who's your household?

I'm still with Ergh, but sadly, they're no longer a pirate fleet, now land raiders on the Silk Road. I was able to adapt my persona to fit that, though, thanks to some interesting family history.

If anyone had been interested I could've referred them to things like archery practice & fighter practice, which can be fun places to dress up. I worse some garb to Free Shakespeare last night.

My birthday is 9/24. It is a Friday. I don't know for sure yet, but it's possible I might choose to spend it at Terry's (Wuntvor's) for Anime Friday. If I do, maybe that could be a place we could meet up in cosplay.

Eh, I guess there are worse descriptions. I usually say "medieval reenactment." That usually hits pretty close to the mark.

I've gone to Seadog Nights three times but I don't enjoy the attitude very much. People who want to pretend to be pirates tend to act rude whenever they feel like it and jump to conclusions a lot.

Glad to hear you're still good with Ergh. I'm with GCEC (Grand Castillo Embargo Compania...it's a mouthful).

I would be happy to have an excuse to raid Wuntvor's house in cosplay if you do that on your birthday. :) The only question is: spiky-haired lawyer, or adventure game hero carrying ten tons of stuff?...

As the date draws closer I'll let you know whether I can go.

I'd go with spiky-haired lawyer, since hopefully others would be joining us!

I just read that the KC Elections meeting will be in Sept the 24th or 25th instead of Oct this year. Why? I wonder. Kinda harsh financially for those who live out of town.

I'm confused as to the post-con event being the 12th, as listed here, or the 11th, as listed on Facebook.

Either is okay with me--though I will have to make it brief as I will be working on my schedule deadlines for Orycon!

Post by: Fuyuko on August 31, 2010, 04:01:48 pm: Ok, so it looks like a few people seem alright with the date (I'm very sorry to those who aren't!! D: ); so I'll just take it as a confirmation and set it as the official date. *is beginning to think there should be a new thread for this*

So now, let's talk about location and time. On the FB group, I set the start time for 1PM since that was when the last meet was held but we can change that if you guys prefer an earlier or later time. :3
As for the location... Hendricks Park was definitely lovely and perfect for the picnic/potluck; so do we want to do that again or something on the more casual side? Like, we can just hang around downtown and go out to eat... wait, it's after the con, meaning many of us might be broke by then. xD; Me especially!! So... ideas, anyone?

And cosplay-wise, do we want to go with a theme or just come in whatever we want? If that's the case, I'll probably be some version of Canada again. =w=

Hendricks Park, 1pm would be fine with me for either 9/11 or 9/12, but, again, the Facebook says 9/11, & here it says 9/12...so...which?

*Where* in Hendricks Park?

Anyone joining me & Radien for my birthday (9/24) at Wuntvor's Anime Friday?

If so, let me know what kind of treats you like & whether you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Wait, you cant supply stuff for YOUR birthday.

Post by: Fuyuko on August 31, 2010, 08:16:22 pm: @Rem: Sorry, the date on the FB group is supposed to be for the 12th, not the 11th. I formely had it for the 11th but then I changed it because I thought it would be disrespectful towards the 9/11 incident. That's just me though. ^_^;
And the location doesn't have to be at Hendricks Park. That was just a suggestion on my part.

Post by: LtCommanderRichie on August 31, 2010, 09:01:33 pm: Perhaps Alton Baker or Tugman? Tugman's got some pretty hills and a fun creek (also, the ENTIRE THING IS A SANDBOX : D), but Alton Baker has all that PLUS A DINOSAUR.

Wow. I had forgotten how much I missed those parks.

Post by: RemSaverem on August 31, 2010, 10:54:30 pm: @ LtCmdrRitchie: Dinosaur?? Really?? Where?? I just know about the planets, & the rocks with Kalapuya words.
I'm good with anywhere.

*** IF *** I have been a good girl, caught up on sleep & finished all my Orycon homework before deadline, I will have a couple hours (otherwise I'll still go but just for an hour or so).

@ Fuyuko: * nods * *gives homage to those martyred*

@ Ishpumalibu: But, um, I like celebrating that there are people who want to be around me for my bday. Besides, hopefully more people will come if I bring treats :)
Though, I certainly won't object if anyone else offers!

@ Radien, Do you need a ride to KC? I'm commuting each morning & night. If anyone has been looking for a way up or back.

Ok, so it looks like a few people seem alright with the date (I'm very sorry to those who aren't!! D: ); so I'll just take it as a confirmation and set it as the official date. *is beginning to think there should be a new thread for this*

So now, let's talk about location and time. On the FB group, I set the start time for 1PM since that was when the last meet was held but we can change that if you guys prefer an earlier or later time. :3
As for the location... Hendricks Park was definitely lovely and perfect for the picnic/potluck; so do we want to do that again or something on the more casual side? Like, we can just hang around downtown and go out to eat... wait, it's after the con, meaning many of us might be broke by then. xD; Me especially!! So... ideas, anyone?

And cosplay-wise, do we want to go with a theme or just come in whatever we want? If that's the case, I'll probably be some version of Canada again. =w=

A new thread would be all right, but it seems anybody interested in meeting in Eugene would notice this topic, so it's no biggie. :)

The 12th sounds great!

As for the potluck, I want to resurrect one of the suggestions I made last time... let's do a brunch potluck!!! If we did that, we could even bump it up to noon in case people want to skip breakfast? It sounded like a popular idea, and then we could have eggs and sausage and bacon and English muffins... oh, and I'd make a large batch of "Perfect Scrambled Eggs," this fancy recipe for rich scrambled eggs that I got online.

Oh, and the nice thing about brunch is that you don't HAVE to bring breakfast foods. Anything will do, it just focuses on breakfast and lunch together.

As for location, I have to admit, that dinosaur at Tugman is tempting. *raised eyebrow*

Post by: RemSaverem on September 01, 2010, 11:43:52 am: Where is there a dinosaur? What is it made out of? How did I not know about this??

FYI, I am vegetarian. Everyone, eat what you will, no worries, but, especially if it is brunch, I will probably just bring my own thing (with some to share). (I normally eat eggs, but with the whole HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF EGGS RECALLED FOR SALMONELLA thing, presently I only want to eat them if they are from my friends' own hens! Or at least a local organic free-range farm.)

I will only be able to bring whatever I can get on foodstamps (waaaaaaaaaay over budget this con).

So.....no food allergies or aversions, anyone?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: LtCommanderRichie on September 01, 2010, 04:20:12 pm: The dinosaur is at Amazon. Big dinosaur, flippy tail, made of cement, kinda looks like a derpy stegosaurus and about seven or eight feet tall at its highest? Occasionally graffitied upon in the 90's? Gray? Other side of the park by the Amazon Pool fence? Usually surrounded by a massive mud puddle unless it's been dry or they've put down new barkamulch?

It's not gone is it? That would be horrid. I spent years of my life on that thing's back.

Also, bell peppers make me sick to my stomach. But that's it.

Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on September 02, 2010, 12:32:37 am: Then Amazon it is? I'm curious enough to check out that Dino. owo

So, now that we seem alright with the brunch idea, should we go with 11:30 as the meeting time? That way it'll give other people time to arrive and we can start feasting at noon sharp. How does that sound to everyone?

Btw, I'll start making a list of people attending and what everyone will be bringing... which wouldn't hurt to start talking about. Mention your cosplays too if you are planning on it. :3
Might as well summarize the entire plan too~

12:00PM - whenever everyone leaves

Is this a cosplay thing or just a hang out thing?

And you don't have to come in cosplay unless you feel like it; so it could be both. :3
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: LtCommanderRichie on September 02, 2010, 01:46:38 am: I could bring potato salad, I think.

Anyone allergic to potato, egg, mayo, parsley, onion, salt, vinegar or pepper? There might be other ingredients but I can't remember them at the moment. If I don't have time to make this I might just end up bringing a box of doughnuts or something, but at least I'll be bringing something?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on September 02, 2010, 02:06:33 am: @Lt: I'm fine with those ingredients as long as I don't consume too much. I try to avoid dairy, yeast, cane sugar, and bad oils as often as I can. Otherwise, I'm good~
And yes, bringing something is better than nothing. :3

Amazon park is looooong (not unlike Longcat). And if there is a dinosaur at the park, it's not next to the community center. I've been all around the community center during my Shakespeare production last year. So maybe it's further north or something.

Fuyuko:

Yep, I'm good for scrambled eggs. They won't be your normal scrambled eggs, though. :) This kind is creamy, seasoned, and tastes great on toast. So I'll try real hard to bring toast, too, specifically for the eggs. I'm hoping it'll stay crispy long enough. It'll probably be wheat sourdough bread (good stuff) so I think it'll hold until I arrive.

Can we be more specific about where at Amazon park? It's a big park. The dinosaur is probably conspicuous, but I have never seen it before, so that means it's somewhere else in the park from what I'm used to.

Awesome, I'm happy the brunch thing is happening. But I really hope someone brings sausage or bacon. Sorry, vegetarians, but I love those meats.

EDIT: I found out that Shrewsbury Ren Faire is happening the 11th and 12th. I have some theater friends who are performing scenes from McBeth on both of those days, so I'm going to try to go with them on the 11th. If push comes to shove I will choose potluck over ren faire, because I've already seen their play once. I'm just going to support them and lend a hand.
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: LtCommanderRichie on September 02, 2010, 02:59:49 am: The dinosaur is on the Amazon Pool side of the children's play area. You probably can't see it at all from the community center because the big white and blue play structure is in the way. In fact, it's directly in the way. That explains it!

Gosh, I really haven't been to that park in years.

If there are still picnic tables and benches in the hedge areas we could set up base camp there?

It does explain it! It's also probably hard to see the dinosaur from the road, but the pool is hard to miss.

Sure, and if there aren't, we can meet, wait a few minutes, and I'll guide you to the picnic tables on the south side of the community center. They're at the top of a small hill, near a patch of trees. Might even have some shade.

And I've never been IN the actual park; so the only spots I know nearby are Amazon Station and the Community Center that I've heard about and briefly saw while driving by. Oh, and the pool. :/

@Lt: That does indeed explain it! But that means no Dino for us. Daww.

Post by: RemSaverem on September 02, 2010, 02:14:18 pm: If there shall be pancakes then I am thinking I shall bring easily divvy-able fruit that could top them. Perhaps bananas and/or a type of berry. I <3 blues & blacks. Might even be some left from my own garden by then.....

Fruit preferences, anyone?

BTW impressive range of grains.

Are we doing the eco everyone bring their own eatingware or the convenience disposables?

@ Radien I think I remember said eggs from War '07? I normally would say yum.

As for cosplay. If I don't get a chance to meet Sora at con I will probably go Gwyneth from Doctor Who again 1 x 03, "The Unquiet Dead", just so she can see it :) Weather-depending, I guess.

@ MY BIRTHDAY! Yes, Terry (Wuntvor) has said yes to my inviting folks to Anime Friday for my bday, Friday, 9/24. When I know what he'll be showing, I'll post it here. His bday is the 18th, so it will be like both our bday party. Please come & cosplay there :)

His collection is vast & ever-growing. One possibility is a theme night honoring the director of Paprika who just died (R.I.P.). But there are a ton of show possibilities too. And yes, there shall be treats.

Post by: Radien on September 02, 2010, 02:22:14 pm: Okay, I've got some potential bad news. It seems I told my mother I'd go with her to a church picnic that day. :/ So either I have to miss the otaku brunch or disappoint her. Also, I didn't realize the 12th was a Sunday. I... don't suppose it's too late to change it to Saturday the 11th?....

Fuyuko:

Wait, I though LtCRichie meant that the dino was behind the pool. Does he mean it's inside the fenced area?

I hope I can go so you can try my eggs. :)

Rem:

Are you thinking of Scottish eggs? Those are quite different. I got this recipe recently, from an internet recording of a cooking TV show. I can link you if you like.

I will let you know whether I can make the 24th. I know classes will have started by then, but even so I might be free in the evening.

Post by: LtCommanderRichie on September 02, 2010, 02:47:04 pm: Apparently Google Maps hasn't taken a satellite photo of Eugene since what appears to be 1995, but this is the dinosaur.

Post by: RemSaverem on September 02, 2010, 03:12:42 pm: @LCR: LOL, Caitlin.
I will have to check that out.

@Radien: Probably (re: Scottish eggs).
Ooh, I really hope you can make it (re: both potluck & 24th).

@ 11th or 12th, doesn't matter to me. In fact, I could do the 10th, just flex what time I work that day around Brunch. Or even the 13th.
Just not a Weds nor a Thurs.

FYI, the 8th to the 18th are "The Ten Days of Awe". The holiest time in the Jewish calendar. Traditionally, what we're supposed to eat, to welcome a sweet new year for each other, are apples and Challah (an egg bread), dipped in honey.
Unless anyone is vegan, maybe I'll bring some such instead to share w/folks for tradition's sake, if that's okay.

Has anyone ever seen anyone Jewish in any anime or manga that I could ever cosplay? The only one I can think of was this AMAZING OMG MADE ME CRY Pet Shop of Horrors manga about a girl who survived the Holocaust (may all the martyred rest in peace), helped by her teddy bear.....OMG loved it.

Post by: Fuyuko on September 02, 2010, 06:28:58 pm: Hmm, I suppose the 11th will be alright. I just have to update it both here and on the group; so that's ok with me. I'll change it for your sake, Radien. :3 (and also because I really really want to try those eggs of yours!!)
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on September 02, 2010, 06:51:55 pm: Haha, thanks a lot guys. XD I'll probably miss the Ren Faire, but that's all right, I was mostly going to see friends that I can see another time.

Everyone seemed vehemently against the 10th, but was the 10th even suggested?... I'm happy with the 11th, so I guess everything's good.

Fuyuko:

Hehe, I may have built up too much expectations with my eggs. ;) I guess I'll have to make a lot. And I'll have to do it that morning, too, so I guess I'd better not plan to sleep in. One thing I will say, though: you won't want ketchup on these eggs. If you do, I will frown at you!... >:(

But the eggs are so soft they're practically liquid! It'd be like putting ketchup in stew! :(

And chili strata... man... that stuff tastes so good you don't NEED anything else. Plus it tastes better with Doritos, since it's got a mild Mexican flavor.

Not like that's a hint or anything... ;)

Realistically, folks, shouldn't we have a backup location indoors somewhere, in case of rain?

Post by: LtCommanderRichie on September 08, 2010, 04:29:40 pm: Made my own- eh? You know what? Yes. Yes, I made all those grommets. I also dyed my fabric with the blood of a billion galaxies.

No, I ordered a couple gross of grommets off the internet and put them in by hand with a hammer and a grommet setter.

I'll bring watermelon then! And the forecast calls for 73F and sun, though I suppose if we must have a contingency plan we can always run for cover or put everything under trees or something.

Normies? In Eugene? That's funny. I went with my friend Misse to the Walmart on West 11th wearing our Zexion and Marluxia wigs. We didn't get any funny looks. Not one. Some old lady even commented on the color of our hair being pretty. Then some guy from the electronics department asked who we were cosplaying. Eugene is full of hippies and other strange people. I admit we're not up there with Portland on the wierd level, but we've got our share.

From what I've heard, all the normies are in Canada, not a single strange person. My goal of scaring normies is to go to Canada with a bunch of chick friends all dressed up in lolita and just walk around enjoying ourselves.
Haha. That guy in Electronics was me =P

Maybe we should meet in the community center parking lot and decide where to set up from there?

What's even funnier, I had already noticed your post about someone randomly smooching your Zach at con. Well, who wouldn't love a guy with such a huge Buster Sword ;).
Most of my favorite game-based fanfics have been from various Final Fantasies, but the characters most endeared to me from them are from VII. My favorite this year was a Yuffie-Vincent rom-com 1-shot.

As for a specific meetup spot, it needs to be somewhere noticable so that everyone won't get lost... Maybe at the dino statue located right next to the pool? Kinda like in Japan with Hachiko. <3
Or it could be at the Community Center parking lot. That could work too. :3

Post by: Radien on September 11, 2010, 01:55:48 am: Okay guys, the chili strata is prepared, chilling in the fridge, ready to go in the oven tomorrow morning. Deliciousness is imminent.

I noticed that people are bringing utensils, but I don't know whether that includes plates. So I will bring a plate. But if somebody is bringing plates, please go ahead and correct me.

And I don't know about you, but I'm cosplaying. I'll get dressed while the strata is baking.

Speaking of yummy, I'm not going to make my frittata until later in the morning cuz I want it to be fresh and warm by the time we begin our feasting. x3

And as for cosplay... I'll probably end up going as a random neko/school girl/something cute. =w=

Post by: RemSaverem on September 11, 2010, 10:10:47 am: In response to the above, I don't think anyone thus far was bringing beverages. I can do that. Preferences?

I kinda forgot that between Rosh Hashonah and 9/11 I am going to some religious services today, might not have time to change in between, therefore might just wear something cute Lolita ish (a hand-made dress by a former con chair!) since that could "pass" as something I could wear in synagogue/later in multidenominational service in church.

Too bad y'all didn't make it to Wuntvor's last night, we watched the AMV contest nominees. A couple of them literally had me LOL'g, and one actually had me dancing!

So ....if I don't hear from anyone as to beverage preferences/what you can't have, I will improvise.

should I assume this means I should also bring cups, unless I get things in individual cans?

Do we have a sense of approximate total attendance?
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Fuyuko on September 11, 2010, 11:12:04 am: @Rem: Any beverage would be amazing! And cups too if needed! Thank you very much!!
As for the number of attendees, I counted eight on here (including me) and a couple more on the FB group; so I'm guessing about 10 people will be coming.

Post by: RemSaverem on September 12, 2010, 03:39:11 pm: We did! The food was delicious, the weather was lovely, everyone got along & was dressed cute. Pics should be posted soon, right, folks? A kid wearing a long bright blue wig came from another event to join us for awhile. We got to know each other a little better, and Radien surprised us by bringing his famous panel game, "Apples to Apples: Con Edition". LtCmdrRitchie ruled, but we all each won a couple rounds, & it was my first time playing & I loved it! And randomly learned a few new anime titles to look up from it!

Let's do this again soon before it gets too cold & rainy, k?

Post by: Radien on September 12, 2010, 08:29:55 pm: Rem:

Apples to Apples was a last-minute thought that seemed appropriate, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd be happy to surprise you with it again. Er... Although, it's hard to surprise you if I tell you that I'm doing it. Oh well. :P Let me know if you'd like to play again.

Heck, I'd be happy to have people over to my house for games. It doesn't need to be just Apples to Apples. Would anybody be interested in that?...

oslapedo/ishpumalibu:

If you have trouble getting to a gathering again, I could come pick you up, provided the timing is reasonable. I'm not sure whether you would have been able to accept, but I would've come and picked you up this time. Sorry it didn't work out. Also sorry we missed the donuts, but that would've just been a bonus. ;)

Fuyuko:

I am enjoying these gatherings and I'd be happy to do it as often as possible. Not only is it nice to see everybody, it's great to enjoy the remaining good weather AND make use of our costumes in the off-season, not to mention seeing people more than once (or twice) a year!

So to reiterate: would anyone like to come play games at my house sometime? I'm pretty free until school starts at the end of the month, and even after that I'll of course be free on the weekends.

I have board games, card games, and video games (Wii, Gamecube, PS2, etc.). We can make it a costume gathering if people like, even work on sewing/props if people are ready to get back into that for next con. And by having the option of playing games inside or outside, you won't have to worry about subjecting your costumes to the weather.

Sound fun?...

Post by: RemSaverem on September 12, 2010, 10:07:56 pm: @ Fuyuko, yay!
@ Radien, sure!
I also have a standing invite from Tammy (and would love to meet the other Kumoricon-legacy cat named after Kaylee from Firefly/ Serenity!).
However, I tend to shy away from game nights just because I tend to be the least-experienced player there & don't want folks to feel bogged down having to explain the rules to me.
So....fair warning, if I go :)
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Radien on September 12, 2010, 10:16:32 pm: Yes, it was a nice little gathering, though I really wish we'd had two or three more people. Obviously, car troubles were to blame. Oh well.

Tammy and Peter's Kaylee kitten is really cute, though she has been jealous since the baby was born.

Don't worry about the rules. I think game choice should be adjusted to fit the experience level of the crowd playing. If nothing else we always have Apples to Apples, which is about as casual as it gets. :) We have played it at Peter and Tammy's on multiple occasions.

I also have Settlers of Catan (and expansions), several versions of Munchkin, Clue, the Clue card game, and Clue: Master Detective. (Yeah, I like Clue. Any surprise I'm planning on a Clue cosplay?) And those are just my current favorites; I have a wide variety of other games.

The game is almost totally unchanged except it has been "reskinned" several times over the years. But in any case I want the cosplay group to incorporate all official and fan interpretations, so it doesn't matter which you like best! :)

As for my who/what/where, I've already said in other threads who I would like to cosplay, but as for "what" (the props) and "where" (which event), it's a bit earlier to say, though I have a few ideas. :) In case no one else reveals it, here's a hint for "who:" my character is well-educated.

oslapedo:

Great; hope to see you there.

Er, wait... the "next time" may be games/cosplay at my place if people are interested. Did you want to come to that?

It's a childhood nickname, actually. My real name is Valeria, which sounds just like malaria. It sort of stuck to me, and I ended up adopting it as my online nickname out of convenience.

I made it to the Pirate Fest the last two years, but this year it's just bad timing. ><

True, though they don't dress/act like stereotypical pirates, exactly. No eye patches, striped shirts, hoop earrings, or red bandanas.

Depending on how you look at it, I guess they are non-failpirates...

And for that matter, I don't remember EXACTLY how/when we met, since we run into each other in so many different settings these days. :)

I am with Rem on that one Ishpumalibu. I just like to have my friends over for anime every Friday. I am always welcoming new people. I am sure that I have something you would like to watch. I pretty much grabbed all of Guy's AMV's during KumoriCon so I have a few gigs of those I haven't watched yet. I also have over 3 terrabytes of downloaded fansubs. If it came out in the last 5 years, I most likely have it. I also have quite a few of the classics. Feel free to come by. I warn you, if you bring snacks I WILL eat them! ;D

Cosplayers are always welcome. My wife was one of the panelist on the pattern software panel specializing in designing custom cosplay patterns to fit. We have a sewing machine, a serger, and an embroidery machine. She is also a graphic artist who does commission work. She ran the panel on using Adobe Illustrator during the con. We also have quite a few interesting participants to Anime Friday. It is a great chance to do some networking.

PM me if interested. Every Friday at 7:00PM I am located near 4 corners (That's Hwy99 & Roosevelt) So not to far from Junction City or North Eugene. I do have one regular who takes the bus from Springfield every week. It is LTD bus #40 from The Eugene Station.

Hope to see as many of you as possible there, & in cosplay or Loli! Shelley is making both vegetarian and meat gyoza (pot stickers), I'll bring something or other, & we'll be watching brand-new shows, including:

Gekijouban Bungaku Shoujo aka Literature Girl – This is a movie about a girl who, quite literally, devours books. She can tell how good a book will be by tasting it, and survives off of the books she eats.

Bungaku Shoujo: Memoire – This is the OVA prequel to the above movie. It is also a love story, sort of like Chobits, in that she is looking for the perfect writer who can write stories just for her.

Bungaku Shoujo: Kyou no Oyatsu – Hatsukoi – This is another OVA based off of the same movie, and occurs between the two. I won’t say much about it because that will spoil it.

Eve no Jikan Gekijouban – Speaking of Chobits, This is a movie created from a bunch of shorts. It is about “what do machines think of their creators?” Based totally off of Asimov, and taking place in what is most likely Japan, it makes you think of Bicentennial Man or I Robot. An interesting twist of thought, and worthy of some intellectual debate.

Kowarekake no Orge – This is a 30 minute OVA that also makes the watcher consider the connections between humans and machines. Again reminiscent of Chobits, the main character, a young man living alone, finds a female android in the trash and takes her home.

Please come!

I enjoy hanging out with everybody but I find that I don't like sitting around for too long. I wouldn't mind coming to anime Friday but I'd want to commit to 1-3 episodes of a specific series that we'd agree on. Ironically, I realize my problem is that most of what I want to see you have already watched. I'm not exactly up on the bleeding edge of new anime series.

Soramunesanzun:

Welcome back to, errr, the topic. ;) Don't worry about it. You're in time for Halloween, if you're free.

I know we've been using this thread pretty consistently for awhile, but don't overlook the Eugene Halloween gathering that's forming. It's titled "Trick or Treat Meet" [Eugene]", but it may end up being more than that. We're talking about a haunted house trip and a possible costume party before and/or afterward.

I'm also into the idea of sitting for less short periods of time in a row (this is not really about sitting, but about my eyes). So @ Terry, maybe occasionally we could mix it up, like, watch 1-3 eps of something, take a break together for ? snacks/chat/games/event planning ?

I'm also into the idea of sitting for less short periods of time in a row (this is not really about sitting, but about my eyes). So @ Terry, maybe occasionally we could mix it up, like, watch 1-3 eps of something, take a break together for ? snacks/chat/games/event planning ?

It's not about sitting for me either, it's just that I don't like focusing on the TV without talking. If I wanted to do that I could download it at home. Actually, I wouldn't mind if it turned into an "anime and game" night where we spend some time playing card or board games.... but hey, I like games, so maybe that's just me.

And yeah, I'm frequently free evenings, so feel free to give me a call or text, Rem. :)

Well it's all Terry's call. He is the mayven of downloading & probably wants the chance to view & share all he's DL'd...But perhaps if it would increase turn-out he would vary it a bit? I'll ask tomorrow....and heck yeah I'll call/text you. :)

Worth a try, but I had some games along last time and no one wanted to try them. It may be the wrong gang for that. Dunno.

Anyway, great, keep in touch. :)

Post by: Wuntvor on September 30, 2010, 11:52:26 pm: I'm pretty open about what we watch during Anime Friday. If there is something in particular you want to see, just let me know. I do try to keep it appropriate for everyone present. I have found that the graphic anime tend to not be as popular with my audience as the school girl dramas and comedies. I still have a lot of them that are available for viewing though.

I don't really have a problem with playing games either, if that is what people want to do. I started this 5 years ago as an opportunity for people who couldn't download their own anime to be able to watch anime for free. Now that many sites stream anime and people have faster internet so they can download and torrent themselves, my attendance has dropped. I still have a MASSIVE collection though, so if you want anime, for free, come over and get it.

I also have no problems with taking breaks and just talking. We often discuss current movies, TV shows, sewing techniques, Adobe software tricks, manga, art, Sci-fi & Fantasy books and authors, etc.

Anime Friday has always been just a chance for fans of anime to get together and have fun. So lets do that! Every Friday at 7:00PM. ;D

Post by: Radien on October 02, 2010, 05:30:01 am: Thanks Terry; I enjoyed the night even though I hadn't seen much of what was played. :)

Incidentally, everyone in Eugene Cosplayers should know that I'm hosting a costume party on Halloween. It'll be a casual "living room" setting with party games and DVD-watching. Please check the topic if you haven't already:

http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=14061

If you can't come, but are stuck at home Halloween night to give out candy, let us know! If you live not too far away from the Springfield party location, we just may congregate by your front door clamoring for sweets. ;)

All varieties of costumes are encouraged -- they can be anime cosplay or they can be something else! Or you can come as yourself, but I encourage even the most hare-brained costumes if you're short on prep time. :)

Glad you have somewhere to go. My high school friends have a Halloween party every year, but it kinda sucks, hence why I want to host our own. ;)

(Obviously none of them are anime fans or I wouldn't say that here)

Sure, bring them with you. EazilyAmewzed will find a use for them. If we don't eat em, I'm sure our son will. ;D

This Anime Friday should be another First Episode Theater. All the new shows are coming out. I'll be sending out my weekly notice tomorrow with more details.

Hope to see you all there.

Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Wuntvor on October 06, 2010, 05:57:13 pm: Here is my notice from this week:

Well all of the new shows are coming out, so I thought I would go ahead and have another First Episode Theater this week. The new shows of interest are:

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - This looks like a real winner. Makes me think of Death Note for some reason. The main character has a special eye that allows him to see ghost and communicate with them. He uses this ability to help the local police track down murderers. I await the next episode with eager anticipation.

Otome Youkai Zakuro – Another winner. It seems that the military and the demons have decided to try working together. They team up three military men with four demon girls (two of the demons are a twin sister team). There is a small problem though. One of the men is scared to death of demons, and his demon partner makes me think of Akane from Ranma. Is there any way this team can work? It is sort of like Host Club meets InuYasha. It’s a keeper

Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai – This translates to “My Little Sister Can`t Be This Cute”. It is another one of those anime that Japan is famous for, totally far fetched, silly, and just plain wrong. I can’t wait till the next episode. I don’t want to spoil it for you by telling you about it.

Iron Man – This one is pretty self explanatory. Based off of Stan Lee’s Marvel Super hero character Iron Man. If you like your Marvel comics, you should like this show.

Bakuman - The main character is a young high school student who likes to draw. His Uncle was a Manga artist who hit it big with one a series that later became an anime. Unfortunately his later works weren’t as successful. Although he would like to become a manga artist the fate of his uncle lies heavy on him. He accidently leaves his sketchbook and notes at school and goes back for them. The school genius is looking through his notebook. The genius tells him he would like to make a manga. He will right it and the artist will draw it. He also informs him that the girl he has a crush on wants to become a VA. Later he confesses to the girl and they agree that if he becomes a successful manga artist, and she becomes a successful VA, they will marry. Twisted story plot, but an interesting show. I like it.

Super Robot Taisen OG: The Inspector - This is a sequel. I have not downloaded the original series, and I am not sure if I will. This is a definite mecha war fighting anime. We can decide if we want to continue with it.

Adult only viewing

Yosuga no Sora - This one is based off of an ero harem style game. It also includes brother sister love. The overall style is similar to shows like Kanon, Clannad, and Air. Nudity, Adult Themes.

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls – We saw the Pre-Airing of this episode, but now the unedited version is out. This one made us all think of Toradora, because it uses the same voice cast, and casts them in similar roles. Alternate universe WWII super powered Samurai women, or something like that. Panty, Boing, Brief Nudity, Adult themes.

Sora No Otoshimono Forte - Well the Angels Ikaros and Nymph are back, and it looks like another Angel is going to be joining the party. Get ready for some more crazy and perverted antics in this sequel. Nudity, Adult themes, and humor.

Star Driver Kagayaki no Takuto - This one makes me think of Mia Hime. Students in a school on an island with an underground alien facility with super robots. Brief Nudity.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt – This one looks like something you would see on CN. Reminds me of PowerPuff Girls or Invader Zim. Of course the subject matter is closer to Ren & Stimpy, or Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Two (fallen) Angels named Panty and Stocking help the Reverend Garter Belt fight against the evil taking over the city so they can earn Heaven Cents. Will the city survive? Adult themes and humor.

MM! – I am not sure about this one. It is a comedy about a schoolboy who is a masochist. Who wants to try to cure himself and confess to the girl he likes. He goes to a school counseling group for help. Unfortunately the leader of the counseling group has heard about him and she decides the best way to cure him is to beat it out of him. Sort of makes me think of Club to Death Angel Dokuro-chan.

Well that’s the start anyway. More may be out by Friday.

I also have a couple of new movies we can watch some time:

Gekijouban Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works – Yeah! The Fate/Stay Night Movie is finally out!

Eiga Layton Kyouju to Eien no Utahime – Based off of the popular Nintendo DS Professor Layton puzzle games, this movie brings the characters of the archeologist Layton and his trusty assistant Luke to the big screen to allow fans to enjoy more of the same.

I hope to see you all this Friday at 7:00PM for another round of fun. ;D

Well, if you do decide to watch some, I have a recommendation. Not a specific series, but a way to watch.

On DVD, set it to English dubbing, but also turn on the English subtitles. You see, hentai viewers are typically among two types. The people who like subtitles typically care for accurate translation. And apparently many of the ones who prefer dubbed are into... well... porn.

What does that mean? The subtitles have a more literal (and accurate) translation. The dubs, however, have a completely different script, which more closely resembles American porn. Plus they get porn stars to do the voices and make a big deal about it on the cover.

The end result... the two scripts differ IMMENSELY. Hearing how much stupider the dub dialog is than the literal translation is absolutely hilarious.

Of course, this doesn't apply to fansubs...

Post by: Wuntvor on December 17, 2010, 01:56:25 pm: I know this is late, I just thought of it now. I am having my usual Anime Friday meeting at my house today 12-17-10. It will be a Christmas themed viewing of various anime, including Toradora, Love Hina, School Rumble, Azumanga Daioh, and many more. The main event will be a showing of Tokyo Godfathers. ;D Anyone who wants to come can just drop in. If you don't know how to find my place PM or E-Mail me and I will send you a map. The fun starts at 7:00pm. Hope to see you all here!

Post by: Radien on December 18, 2010, 06:27:36 am: While we're at it, would anyone like to have a winter gathering/party sometime?

It's a bit late for a Christmas party, and I expect many of us will be busy for New Year's (I am), but it's been awhile and I'd like an excuse to see the cosplay gang again soon.

If nothing else, I'd quite enjoy hosting a game night. We could play board games and Wii and so on. :)

P.S. - Sorry I missed, Wuntvor! Hope you all had fun!
Title: Re: We should plan a meet-up in Eugene sometime! :3
Post by: Wuntvor on December 18, 2010, 08:23:58 pm: I think it went pretty well. Rem and her BF hadn't seen Tokyo Godfathers, so they enjoyed it. I was hoping that Jeni and Taco could come, but I guess they had to get ready for the KCon meeting that was held today, so they couldn't come. :(

I won't be having my Anime Friday on Christmas Eve, but I am thinking I may try having a New Years Eve stay up till Midnight viewing party. Is anyone interested in attending something like that? Let me know if you are. ;D

I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to mean, but you must be thinking about how Portland and Vancouver have larger venues, right?

Anyway, hi guys~ Now that Sak is over and the weather is getting nicer, I've kind of been kind of thinking about a summer meet-up again. The picnic that we had last year was a lot of fun~ I know it's still early for Summer, but I'm just rolling ideas around, here. XD

Here's something I've been wanting to do for a long time:

A trip to Enchanted Forest. Despite it seeming a little "kiddy," I actually have three separate personal reasons for wanting to take a trip up there this summer...and at least one of the reasons involves cosplay, so I would be very happy if we could organize a caravan/carpool up there.

If people are up for it, could we consider... say... early June?

HINT HINT: My birthday is June 8th. That's a Wednesday, but if we went the weekend before OR after that, perhaps I could make a birthday party out of it?... ^^;; That would definitely make my day...

I think I see why Kumoricon left Eugene, eh?

Technically speaking, Kumori Con left Eugene because of overwhelming GROWTH, not because of lack of interest.

If you were to instead suggest that it's difficult to maintain an anime club in Eugene, you would be right. However we've had a lot more success recently than in the past. In general, it's the small, intimate groups that succeed. The whole "Eugene Cosplayers" idea has actually been a success, even though we don't meet weekly and the get-togethers only happen every month or two. Sure, it seems quiet here, but when groups get to be more intimate, you can expect them to slowly drift away from big, public forums like this one. Even if there aren't many comments, we get plenty of use out of Facebook's event RSVP system, and people DO come to these things.

Heh, sounds like you caught sight of us... Didn't want to come up and say hi?

Yep, it seems there are always a ton of Hetalians in any cosplay group these days. :P I was practically the only non-Hetalia cosplay. At the very least, Hetalia held a majority.

I was the one wearing an outdoorsy, medieval-ish cosplay with tied-off shorts and fur-lined sandals. It's Link's villager outfit from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I don't remember that. But then, I arrived a little late.

I think I was the only guy there. D'oh.

Post by: Wuntvor on June 02, 2011, 06:39:46 pm: OK, I know this is short notice. Sorry about that.

Tomorrow, Friday the 3rd of June, I will be showing a movie double feature for my Anime Friday. I hope to have a decent turn-out, but there is always room for more. The two movies I will be playing are:

Arete Hime: (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1190) Confined in the castle tower by her father princess Arete spends her days watching the world outside her window. Sometimes she seeks out to watch the common people at work. The knights of the kingdom compete for the right to marry her and rule the land by competing to see who can find powerful magic objects made by a long dead race of sorcerers. Arete wants none of this. She longs to meet the common people and travel to exotic lands she has only seen in the books she keeps hidden under her bed. One day the sorcerer Boax arrives in a fantastic flying machine to take Arete as his wife and fly off with her to his far away castle.

Colorful (2010): (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=7409) Upon reaching the train station to death, a dejected soul is informed that he is lucky and will have another chance at life. He is placed in the body of a 14-year-old boy named Kobayashi Makoto, who has just committed suicide. Watched over by a neutral spirit named Purapura, the soul must figure out what his greatest sin and mistake in his former life was before his time limit in Makoto's body runs out. He also has a number of other lesser duties he must complete, such as understanding what led Makoto to commit suicide in the first place and learning how to enjoy his second chance at life.

Princess Arete Made me think of Victorique from Gosick. She is in almost the same situation, stuck up in a tower, used as a tool by her father who doesn't care about her, spending all of her time reading books, and wondering what life outside her window is really like. The art style was similar in some ways to Howls Moving Castle and also to The Last Unicorn. If you liked those films you should definitely give Arete Hime a try. A must see on my list.

You would think that Colorful would be a poor choice as a double feature, but I felt that the character of Makoto aligned so well with that of Arete they just compliment each other. Colorful covers some very deep subjects, suicide, child prostitution, adultery, and verbal abuse, to name a few. This is definitely a true life style drama, and not a kiddie flick. It has a strong message, and it doesn't pull it's punches in delivering it to you. Worth seeing at least once.

Anime Friday starts at 7:00pm every Friday at my home in Eugene. PM or email me if you want directions.

Hope to see you here.

Post by: Radien on June 10, 2011, 05:15:53 am: I had a really long appointment (not fun) and then family went out to the Roadhouse Grill (more fun). But please don't count on me checking this thread very often. I will usually show up late, like I did this time. ^^;
