Okay. So we are meeting on Sept. 2nd.. At Noon.
At Pionner Square or the Hotel?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #302 on:** August 10, 2009, 08:43:59 pm »

you should read the very first post. All the information you need is there. And I have no clue where Sept 2nd came from. Seeing how the tittle is three WEEKS early not three DAYS early.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #303 on:** August 10, 2009, 08:46:31 pm »

Sept 2 I got from the date in the name
..
Okay. So were meeting at the hotel and going to pioner square....
Got it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #304 on:** August 10, 2009, 08:52:54 pm »

Alright my bad I found that mistake but it was just the date I made the update.

Also on the first post it says we are meeting at pioneer square, we are going to look at places around the hotel but not go in it.

Ok I edited the first post to help get rid of some confusion. But I want to strongly stress that we are not going inside the Hotel because last time people were running around and screaming and that pissed the staff off. Since we need this Hotel for one more year we want to be on good terms. And sadly there are way too many immature people that seems to come to meet ups.

I'm not sure if I'll be coming to this or not. I MIGHT. Depending on whether or not I want to take a break from unpacking. Last I checked this was the 16th, which is the day after I move. x.x;

Also, Patrick will be joining us as well. He will be in town this weekend and I am dragging him along ^_^

Yeah him. I was talking to him last night and he wants to go :3

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #311 on:** August 11, 2009, 11:52:07 am »

Alyssa's cosplay (Gaz) Has a giant head, so she wants to know if she'll be able to wear it? (Y'know security doesn't like not being able to see someone's face).

Also does somebody have an adress? The only Pioneer square I got was in washington when I googled it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #312 on:** August 11, 2009, 11:54:16 am »

why don't you try adding oregon after Pioneer square and you get it.

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #313 on:** August 11, 2009, 11:58:44 am »

715 Sw Morrison St, Portland, OR Sound right?
It's Pioneer Courthouse Square if that's the right one.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #314 on:** August 11, 2009, 12:07:38 pm »

>< I'm debating on wearing Riku or Reno. Reno's not done, and I'm pretty eager to debut Riku. xD I'm debating on just cutting Reno until I have him done a little more, and skipping the mock battle. :/

@Nikki: xD I know I put some pictures up on dA, but I don't think this is the right place to discuss it.

Mei Long · « **Reply #319 on:** August 11, 2009, 03:20:02 pm »

Aaah, this sounds like fun! And is a wonderful excuse to get the heck out of Salem. XD

Name: Ren (sn: Mei Long)
Cosplay: Not this time. =)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #320 on:** August 11, 2009, 05:49:14 pm »

Kahlan and I are still coming, but we may be a little late. Church runs pretty close to noon, so we'll be coming straight from that. Won't be cosplaying, but we will be having fun! ^_^

Well, I'd have to wear regular clothes there, and then change, since I don't have the outfit yet.
And I still need to see if I can comeee.

That's truly sad, I forgot to tell my bf about the meet, so I think he might not want to go D:

Which would make me not available to go, since we spend our days off together.

I'll still try to convince him

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #339 on:** August 13, 2009, 11:06:41 pm »

OH NOES, Vallie wants to go see District 9 on Sunday gaiz!

Uhhhmmmm.... maybe I can come by for a minute and give you guys a bunch of fliers and maps and then head to the Pioneer Place for lunch and the movie.

I would go see it with her later but I don't see my dear wifey much anymore due to my crappy schedule.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #340 on:** August 14, 2009, 07:14:16 am »

That would be alright with us. I wont get too mad

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #341 on:** August 14, 2009, 08:39:19 am »

We'll cut you some slack, Tom, only because that is such a fantastic looking movie. ^_^

But yeah, have fun!

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #342 on:** August 14, 2009, 10:06:32 am »

Oh man, the first showing is at 1pm! I'll have to get the tickets before hand and then head over right after I meet you guys.

This is gonna be complicated.
I really don't wanna miss out because there's some key info I wanted to hand over/show you guys. Even if we don't go inside the hotel I want you all to see how the reg line up will go and the sweetness that is the park blocks.

If anyone wants to get more info from me in person we'd probably have to meet beforehand for lunch.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #343 on:** August 14, 2009, 04:06:09 pm »

I can get there early so you can give it to me.

Actually.....
I won't be there at all. We're gonna relax out in Beaverton on Sunday. I can tell ya the important stuff on here, but you'll have to print out the Small Area Map and the Key yourselves. I'll put them all in this post after the next section.

The main thing I wanted to show everyone, so they could spread the word, was where the reg line is going to be. We are going to have people line up at the BACK door of the hotel on 6th avenue. From there everyone will file in, go up the escalators/stairs (or the elevator with a staff member for those in wheel chairs) and straight across to the Live Events room where there will be a large set of ropes set up for the line to serpentine through. Then at the other end of the room they'll exit out onto the foyerwhere the reg desks will be. right after the badge and swag the attendees will pass the peacebond booth and let the yojimbo check their props. I have drawn this diagram up to try and make it more clear.

Now back to the information that applies to the actual thread.

The following information is available for download as an RTF file at this link:

The convention hotel is actually #31

The Yellow F is for Food.
The Blue P is for Parking
