Title: Kumoricon Lite - Mini convention!
Post by: Antares on March 20, 2008, 07:28:48 pm
Hey all!
I picked up a flier for the Kumoricon Lite event on May 10th at the Dark Horse event a week or so ago.

It states that the hours are from noon - 9 p.m. at Portland State University's Smith Memorial Union. Check in is room 296.

It is in cooperation with Portland State Anime Club and Random Select.

Activities include anime viewing, gaming, karaoke, manga library and a raffel for Kcon badge!
FREE ADMISSION!

So who's going?

Antares, you beat me to it :P

I will make another post when we have more information about the raffle (donate a manga to our library, get a ticket for the raffle), but for now - bring a friend and come check it out, admission is free so it's a perfect time to show people what we're all about :)  Cosplay is encouraged, of course... (and maybe we can even swing a prize or two)

Is this like last year's Minicon or is it a separate event? >>
Title: Re: Kumoricon Lite - Mini convention!
Post by: Jamiche on March 22, 2008, 05:30:15 pm
It's a similar event... the PSU anime and gaming club are providing the space, and we are providing equipment/content for it.

Currently, this is the only minicon event like this planned (we are looking at having another dance event in July, and will post more info when we have it).  If we get the opportunity for another event, we will certainly look into it. :)

Will the basement be open?  Or are we just segregated to a single room.

I think it'd be fun to have cosplay bowling at this event :D  Also they have some gaming already set up in the basement rockband pool tables and the like.

We have 6 rooms for our use - gaming, 2 viewing rooms, karaoke, manga library, and a general space where people can hang out.

We are looking into whether or not we can have dealers during the event.  Once we know, we will let you know :)

It just occurred to me that you will have TONS of dealers, portland farmers market is every saturday starting april 5th

They will be just outside smith center tanking up the park blocks  ;D

so looks like farmers market is from 8:30 am until 2:00 pm

As far as I know there is not any karaoke at Farmer's Market...and the karaoke room will probably be indoors.

if they want to be more reconized then they need to be easy to find, utlize those booths they get at park block events
I went to one they had some manga onthe table but Like no info of whn they met up or what they do

That was partly my fault, and partly the fault of the outgoing president. When she graduated, the president of the club didn't chose anybody to succeed her, so my friends and I were called on at the last minute to become club leadership. The school sprung a lot of paperwork on us and had us go to a student leadership seminar, and then cut us loose. We were not aware that we had a table for party in the park until the day before. I had planned to have a laptop playing anime on the table, and fliers (which we now have). But they refused to give us power for the computer. We now have fliers, and this semester will see some changes in how we do things here.

Quote
but Like no info of when they met up or what they do
no offense, but aren't those questions the reason we had people at the booth?

The amount of apathy in the club right now scares me. When I ask what people want to do besides watching anime, nobody has any suggestions. I am not a creative man, and I get stressed out on even my best days, but I am going to try to do more to make this club better, and would appreciate suggestions.

Roleplay

prop makeing lessons or sessions if you already can.

random story makeing (each person adds to the story with daialoge and there is one narrator and the rest have characters ((they choose or you assign)) and you let them do the convo while narrator sets the scean.)

anime kareoke


I have many more but I hate haveing to stay put and watch anime because I do that at home. I would rather have FUN.

What can I say, you can take the girl out of publicity.... :)

My ulterior motive is that, the more people we have at the event, the easier it will be to convince Vendors to come!

not really. I get the rooms for free as a student group leader, and there are only two pieces of paperwork to fill out. Simple.

I mean like fitting them all into that small time period. Sure there are lots of great events, but I'm worried about each one being only 3 minutes long T_T
Title: Re: Kumoricon Lite - Mini convention!
Post by: Jamiche on April 03, 2008, 09:29:50 am
The event runs for 9 hours (from noon to 9pm), and each "event" has it's own room, so they will run for the entirety of it.  There will be plenty to do, and enough time to enjoy it :)

Post by: Syd-chan on April 04, 2008, 02:52:04 pm
Hey, what will be the policy on props there? Obviously, the 'no live-steel' rule will apply, but is there a size limit besides the fact that it can't block traffic?
Title: Re: Kumoricon Lite - Mini convention!
Post by: Mister_manji on April 04, 2008, 10:31:45 pm
I would have to check on that. Get back to you, but it probably more or less jives with PSU's weapons policy.
Title: Re: Kumoricon Lite - Mini convention!
Post by: melchizedek on April 04, 2008, 11:13:04 pm
It probally is the same as the portland policy, no blades over 3" long

Post by: Syd-chan on April 04, 2008, 11:29:25 pm
Hmm....I got this from their site....It seems like an umbrella is okay. The only thing I would be worried about is martial arts staffs....And any 'club-like' thing. But, since most of us have a pretty good sense of judgement....If you want the full thing it's here: http://www.psu.edu/dept/police/weapons.html

I would recommend not bringing your cosplay weapons to avoid any hassle from public safety.

If it is just a normal umbrella I don't see how there could be any issues...we are in Portland. It rains quite randomly and lots of people carry umbrellas.

Will you be taking registration at this? More to the point, staff registration. because I want to register as staff still as I haven't been able to actually do it since my work has been giving /very/ odd days of scheduling. And this is on my birthday, sooo... Yay. :3 Might have to actually drive out there this time. D: ... Note to self, find address.

Omg I can't go to K-con lite!  :'( I asked for it off to celebrate my birthday and got some nasty response back about how the schedule was already made and I should be more organized... It is over 3 weeks away, I didn't think it was unreasonable to be asking for it off now.

Then I had to beg to get my birthday off on the 13th and they also won't give me time off for the other Uwajimaya event or Memorial day, for the same reason.  How sad

Well, I'll be there... and will be considering bringing my sewing equipment to work on some cosplay stuff.
Anyone else interested in some sort of cosplay workshop during this event? I'm not sure what room we'll be able to grab, but at the very least, I'm sure i'll be able to occupy a corner of one of the undesignated rooms for cosplay related fun...

I'm sure it will be fine, but be sure to ask one of the people in charge which room to use. Drop us an email or PM with specifics and I'm sure we could figure something out.

Any chance that I could get a table for Pocky Club? I do forsee some deliveries at this event and I know that we'll have cosplayers there.  I wouldn't be able to stay the whole time but I'd like to give my club members another chance to run things on their own. I have to make sure I leave around 4:30 so I can get home in time for my Vampire game. It's been on hold for a few months what with my wedding and the staff retreat.

So do we have room for Pocky club or will we be clipboard rangers?

what size of table do you need? I have a pre-event meeting with PSU facilities this Thursday, so I need specifics. Also, talk to Jaki, because I don't know who all shes invited yet, which would let me know how much space we have left.

Question.

Will you be taking registration at this? More to the point, staff registration. because I want to register as staff still as I haven't been able to actually do it since my work has been giving /very/ odd days of scheduling. And this is on my birthday, sooo... Yay. :3 Might have to actually drive out there this time. D: ... Note to self, find address.

And also... what kind of games will be there. o.o

as far as I know you are able to register as staff online aren't you? *shakes her head* anyway Registration should be set up there if everything works out as planned and if my manager's car doesn't break down again. At the very least I am pretty sure we will be taking registration, but hopefully we will be printing badges too... this is not set totally in stone, so don't be disappointed if I am there in the mascot outfit and we've got no printers to do reg with....

Most PSU students get off at goose hollow, just walk east across 405 and bam psu is right there.  Though if one wants to avoid walking entirely 9th / library is where the max intersects the street car that has a PSU stop.

This event is being primarily staffed by the PSU clubs (since they are the ones hosting it).  We are providing staff for some of the content (ie, karaoke), but for the most part, this is an opportunity for regular Kumoricon staff to relax and have fun.

If so, please let me know ahead of time, so that I dont end up bringing the same thing as somebody else does.

Jake, the other co-author and I are looking forward to dropping by Kumoricon LITE and are hopeful to run some demos of our games for interested people, as well to check out the other gaming, cosplay and anime around (I'm not much of a karaoke person myself ;) ).

It sounds like it'll be fun.

Besides all of the activities that are officially posted, are there going any others that I should be aware of? Like tables advertising pre-registeration badges, how to draw manga lessons, video games, etc,etc......

Your chibi drawing ness is too amazing to be moped upon [o.0]^-^ I'll try your cupcakes! Second! I SO agree with Laurifer. But, maybe it should be in the middle of the KumoriCon Lite? That way, people can go back to the PSU and eat them whil cosplaying, ect. >.> And mostly because my mom is afraid of spending nine freaking hours in the PSU surrounded by people like us. -.- So....I would suggest....Around 4 or 5. Either for the late people to be late and meet up there or just for the people who have to leave early to go there last. And, plus, I like the number 5.

Ok well it seems like 4 or 5 sounds like a good time to meet up for cupcakes...maybe a little bit earlier around 3:30 pm? That way we'll be somewhat hungry for a mid-afternoon snack and those who want to go to the Asian convention can leave around that time. And I have no idea how long we're staying.

What is everybody else's opinion's on this?

I will probably just hang about and munch on the cupcakes Kahlan-gf makes, but if I do feel like heading out to visit the St., that sounds like a decent time. ^_^

As asked, here is the map of the event space for Kumoricon Lite.

Also, here's a PSU p[age on the building
http://www.pdx.edu/profiles/5228/
It has a couple pictures and some info on it and the surroundings.

the address if you need to google-map your way there or get help from your onboard GPS.
1825 SW Broadway, Portland OR 97201

If the food and snacks in the student union don't satisfy, here's some other spots in the area.
On 6th and Hall (block south and block east) there is a Hot Lips Pizza and Chit-Chat Cafe. Down the block along 6th there is an Indian restaurant, a Big Town Hero, and then on the corner of 6th and College is The Cheerful Tortoise pub.
Across the street on 6th and College is the Six Avenue Deli and Market.
On the corner of Broadway and College is Pho Thann-Long, a Vietnamese restaurant and a Chipotle.
South two blocks from the student union on Broadway is a Quiznos.
Three blocks south, on the corner of Brodway and Jackson is Bluefin Sushi.

There is a 7-11 2 blocks north on the corner of Broadway and Market.
There is a Starbucks on the corner of 6th and Jefferson.

Sushi Takahashi 2, which is abotu five-six blocks south, but totally worth it. That's where Kahlan, Laurifer, Totemo, Daxe and myself are probably going for lunch. If anyone else wants to tag along, feel free. ^_^

Since it looks like some of the people who want to go to Saint Cupcake(me included) are going to this place, I might as well tag along, but I just need to know what you guys are gonna leave the mini-con for lunch(would 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM be okay?). And the mode of transportation or departure point will be helpful of course.

Well, that depends. Do you know where it is or think you could get there? If so, we may just meet you at the restaurant. But if not, we're fine with meeting at Kcon. May meet at Kcon anyway to see the opening whatever if there even is such a thing.

I'm thinking at this point it is just show up to the con, find people and then go. It isn't really working to try to preplan this lunch because not enough people know where things are downtown. So, yeah, just try to find people at Kcon Lite, and we will move from there.

Well, I suppose it would depend on how fast they can run ;D

Basically, if you are cosplaying at Kumoricon Lite, you'll need to abide by the same rules as if you are were at Kumoricon.  If you bring a prop weapon, you can't brandish it, or hit anybody with it.  And if you can't bring it to the convention, you can't bring it here.
Title: Re: Kumoricon Lite - Mini convention!
Post by: Jamiche on May 09, 2008, 05:19:32 pm
Just a reminder - Kumoricon Lite is from noon to 9 pm tomorrow. ;D

Check-in will be in SMU Room 296.  We ask everybody to please check-in, so we can get an idea of how many people show up to the event (it makes it easier to convince future vendors that it is worth their time to come to these kind of events).

Some of the activities we will have:

Gaming - Rockband, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Mario Kart, just to name a few.
Viewing - some of the latest fansub releases, in addition to dubbed anime, live action drama series, and AMV's
Karaoke and the Manga Library

In the check-in room, you can find information on our hosts, Random Select and the PSU Anime club, and you can register for Kumoricon.  There will be some concessions for sale, Pocky Club will be hanging out, and it's where you will find Deanna from Custom Cosplay - she will be offering her cosplay goodies for sale.

Another reminder - every manga you bring and donate to our manga library gets you one raffle ticket.  Prizes include T-shirts, books donated by Dark Horse (including a Vampire Hunter D artbook), a weekend membership to Kumoricon '08, and even a ticket to the VIP Guest Dinner at con.

Cosplay is encouraged, but not required.. so come and check us out.  Bring snacks to share with others if you like (we'll have a table set up in check-in), otherwise you're pretty much on your own for food (although Tom did scope some nearby places out for you ;))

See you there :D

as far as I know you are able to register as staff online aren't you? *shakes her head* anyway Registration should be set up there if everything works out as planned and if my manager's car doesn't break down again. At the very least I am pretty sure we will be taking registration, but hopefully we will be printing badges too... this is not set totally in stone, so don't be disappointed if I am there in the mascot outfit and we've got no printers to do reg with....
Nope..director has to sign your form so you have to register at a meeting/event they are at.

If you have pre-arranged it with a director, you can mail the form to them to be signed, and either mail a payment by check, or pay online by credit card.

Thank goodness I'll get my sushi fix on the 21st lol

Is that for your friends birthday?

And I owe you (all of you, really) a trip to Sushi Takahashi, so we will have to make it up sometime. Sometime when they're open.

Oh, well that's pretty awesome actually, heh. You got to eat what we wandered around for an hour for, trying to find. We settled on Chipotle, but we wanted sushi....

When I left, I passed a sushi place that was, like, on the other side of Chipotle. My sister says it's good.

Aah, here we go, got my pictures up. http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/blackjackrocket/Kcon%20Lite%2008/
