So I didn't find a thread for this, so here goes.
I was wondering how many ppl here are college age? Also was wondering if, since it's currently winter break, we wanted to all meet up and do something awesome?
Just an idea....
-
Well, what do you define as college age? I'm in college, but am 29. There are students at my college as young as 16, and as old as (that I know personally) the 40's.
So, with that out of the way, I would be up for this, but since this December is going to be a hectic one, I'd like to recommend that we do this during the first week of January, preferably between Tuesday and Thursday.
-
I am also in college and relatively of "college age" - I am 27. I'd totally be up for doing something, though I wouldn't be available until after the new year. Keep me informed of what you have in mind!
-
well i'm 23, so it's cool. just moved here and thought it would be cool to meet people my age(ish). and yeah, december is super crazy for me too. i was thinking the first week of jan... i don't get my work schedule for jan until next week, so i'm not sure what days i have off yet, but i'll keep tues-thurs in mind. as for what we could do, i'm drawing a blank there, like i said, just moved here... so i'd b open to suggestions. i will keep my eyes out for something cool tho.
note: as far as age goes, i just meant above highschool, so over 18?
-
I feel so young here at 21 XD
*pointed look at Sui* But Tues/Thurs are my class days OTL||
-
What about doing something as simple as just going out for sushi/ramen, ice skating, or something of the sort?
-
That sounds wonderful to me, especially the sushi one.
-
Especially since that could be done in the evenings when most people are out of class/off work, and won't take TOO incredibly long, but could still be fun. And delicious.
-
Well.........I'm 26, and I'm currently not in community college right now. So can I still meet up with you guys?
-
I see nothing wrong with that.
-
I feel so young here at 21 XD
Psh! You feel young!? I'm 18 XD I just stated college! But a meet would be kinda fun.
-
^ You both are making me feel old... :D
-
^ You both are making me feel old... :D
Well u know what they say, ur only as old as u feel. So then......
Anywho, yeah, sushi sounds good. Can never have too much of that (unless the fish is caught in the San Francisco bay...). We would have to find a time that works for everyone. Also, does everyone like sushi? I don't want to exclude anyone here. :)
-
Well, if we were to meet during the first week of January, any day works for me. For Chan, though, only Tuesday-Thursday would work.
-
well im 19 and sushi sounds fun
theres a nice sushi place next to van mall
the only problem is i cant go any were during the weekend
-
ok, first week in jan is good for me. don't know my work schedule yet for sure, but during the week i work til 7 every night but friday. i'll look tomarrow to see if the schedule for the new year is out yet. if not, i don't get back from cali til the 25th, so i wont b able to let anyone know til at least tuesday.
so it sounds like everyone likes sushi. what part of portland is everyone coming from. i want to make it as convenient as possible. i'm coming from tigard
-
<< 22
SUSHILAND!!! then then then lets play at directors park with that GINORMOUS chess board~<3
-
I'm one of the older "collage age" people 28.
Though I'd like to get sushi and hang out! Really any day/time works for me.
I'd bring my roomie along to (he's 19).
We're both coming from Beverton, but I have a car so really meeting anywhere works for me.
-
I suppose I'm college age at 24, but I'm not in college anymore as I graduated. I'm still game though.

I don't know how far away Directors Park is.... but I highly approve of the giant chess board. *.*

Director's Park is in downtown Portland, very close to Pioneer Courthouse Square and the Hilton that hosted KCon '09 & '10.
-
I am of College Age, I'm interested.

Gotcha, I think a photoshoot was done there. *nods* *has no sense of direction*
-
A few, to my knowledge...
I know that the Sailor Moon shoot was there because my fiancee was there, and told me a "funny" story that kind of upset me, not (entirely) as her fiancee, but (primarily) as a staffer. Oh, well; what's done is done...
-
it's gunna be cold tho... so i cant wear my BRK coat oTL if ever i'd get to go...
-
When is this?
-
I don't think we've planned a date, yet... have we? I think we've just said during the first week of January... I support that Tuesday, myself...
-
Can't to Tuesday, I have business that day .__. What Which Tuesday?
-
The first one in January, the 3rd. The following day, or the one after that, would work for me, too.
-
I'm college age! Well kinda I'm 19. Almost 20. And id be game, and I'm sure my boyfriend would too. And wash, if your drivingN maybe I could car poole with you? If you'd be willing cuuuuuuuuuz I dun drive. And my boyfriends car can barely make it to dollars corner out in battleground lol let alone my house which is close to 205
-
I can come then and I get to bring my new Lolita dress.
-

Well, chances are Chan would be driving, then we'd MAX it. It could be possible that public transit would be all we'd rely on. The best thing to do would be to talk with her about it.
-
Red/Blue line Library stop is right next to Director Park, easy to get to. Also if this happens on Tuesday I won't make it until 5:45-5:50, by which time it'll probably be over as I have work. Oh well.
-
So, how does that Wednesday or Thursday work for you, then?
-
Neither of those days would work well for Sui Fong and I (we're roommates) because we both have full-time jobs.
-
I dun think ima be able to make it at all. Im now fighting the supension of my financial aid. Again. Theyve done this twice now, even though ive met the probation requirements and i have a 2.1 gpa. I think they have it out for me.
-
I think they're arseholes. I'm dealing with them now, too. You'd think that they'd want to try to get students who've been attending for many years to get the hell out, ya know?
-
Yea exactly. Instead, they attack us who have just started and are trying our best but that doesn't seem to matter to them. Its just unfair.
-
sorry i havent been on much the last couple days, been visiting the 'rents and they have no net. if we wanna do a weekday it'd have to be after 8pm because i have work. my days off are the weekends, so saturday or sunday work for me. sounds like we're all cool with sushi, which is good, and that we want to make it an afternoon thing? (judging by the park recommendation)

Personally, I'd love for it to be on either a saturday or sunday before 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Mainly cuz I can't make after 8 in the evenings.
For Japanese food, do you know any good restaurants?
-
there's a classy restaurant somewhere i've seen in downtown portland... near the sushiland... i think...
-
I could totally go for a Ramen place if there are any good ones in that area~

which sushiland restaurant are talking about? If I know the location, I may be able to help u better.......
-

I'll start looking for a ramen place somewhere next to the powells city of books store sometime this week.
-
yeah, we could go for like saturday at like noon or something so that people can get back to work/whatever in time.
-
I know of a ramen shop near the Hilton where KCon '09 & '10 took place, but (unless they've changed) they're only open on the weekdays...
If it's a Saturday, I could be there, but Chan won't.
-
Saturday sounds good for me.
-
So it looks like saturday it is. sometime around noon, just need to decide a place.
-
I would come for sure sign me up sunday would be a great time
-
Whatever day, Sat or Sun, we need to decide quickly so that I can try to guarantee the day off of woooork.

Yeah, I believe the restaurant that you're talking is "happy bowl" and if memory serves me right, it's only open on weekdays.
But all of you, don't despair!! I believe I have found a decent place for us to eat.
There's a japanese place near Pioneer square called "Koji". And what I've seen from the menu, I believe the food could be Osaka-style Japanese food or something.
Go to www.koji.com for more infomation. just please for the love of God, don't kill me if any of you don't like the food!
If any of u are objected to this, then why don't ANY of you guys recommend somewhere better?
Oh yes, I'm good on Saturday as well.
-
I'd personally prefer Saturday because I know for a fact I have it free. Sunday is kind of nebulous. I say we do two days.
-

I've heard of Koji; it's supposed to be really good.
-
I'll find out next week's work schedule tomorrow, so I'll let you know if I can go or not.
-
Koji is fantastic. Every one I've been to is really great. For some it may be a touch pricey but it's very reasonable. I kbow another place right near Director Park as well. Also, can we confirm Saturday?
-
Okay, I'm sure I mentioned it once in here, but then forgot and said that I could do Saturday; I can't be there because I'll be working in Washougal.
-
Ok, I'm confirming Saturday the 7th. I'm thinking we should meet noon at pioneer square, unless I get a lot of ppl saying that's too early for them (I know lots of ppl like to sleep in).
-

Yah, it's a bit.....pricey. That and I believe they add some sort of 15% gradtuity for a 7 or more party or something, but it's worth it I think.
-
^ A lot of places do that sort of thing, though usually from what I've seen, it's at least 8 people (one place said 12) for the gratuity.
-
ok im just going to throw this out there can some give me a ride and back i can pay
-
Seventh is a no go, I've got business in Astoria.

Yeah, I talked about that place and has anyone else come up with ideas for what to do after that?
-
Well it'll depend on what time people have to get out of there. I know some people were talking about possibly having some time restraints. There's a theater close by yes? We could see a movie. It's not suppose to be raining (knock on wood), so I'm sure there are things we can walk to. We're all college kids here tho, so lets focus on the food first :)

Yes, there's a theater close by. But I'm not in the movie-seeing mood yet. What about going to Powell's City of Books after lunch? As for a leaving time, how about errrr.........say 3:30 or 4:00 pm?
Anything that I left out?
-
hmmm i thought i didnt have work that day... so >.> we're meeting up at 12 right? i'll be up till 4 >.<

I don't think we should have a set 'leaving time'. We should just hang out and do whatever until we all dwindle off in our own directions.
