Adult Night Out Any One?
« on: July 04, 2010, 02:58:27 am »
UPDATE: Main hotel lobby entrance at 8:30pm Friday. Plan to be leaving by 8:40pm sharp so make sure you are there on time if not early. If you cant seem to find the group just look for a fat guy in camo shorts <--- Me. See you guys there.







Well im not sure if anyone has been doing this but i think it would be fun to get alot of 21 and up together and go out for drinks. If anyone is interested let me know and we can figure out a good time and place for every one.

I assume this is Portland-centric, and I don't think driving for over a hundred miles after drinking is a good idea. If not, where?

Yes it is.
Last Thursday of the month, the 29th, is the retro console party. Free entry and bring your old NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari 2600 etc.
And the last day of the month which is a Saturday, is pay $5 and all arcade machines are free until closing.

Close! The retro console night is correct, but free play nights are the third Thursdays and the Last Wednesdays of every month:
 
"Time for our monthly free-play party! On Last Wednesday each month, Ground Kontrol helps you stretch your gaming dollar by setting all of our video games and pinball tables to FREE play!"
"We are adding another Free Play Party to our calendar on Third Thursdays, and to show our appreciation of our wonderful customers, we're making it totally FREE for its debut!"
Via their Facebook.

Still, a viable option! I'm down there 2-3 times a week :)

Sorry about not being on for awhile lol mad hours at work . And to a previous question yes somewhere in portland metro ish. I'm still new to the drinking scene so im still up for suggestion. Also i am up to go drinking one night at kumoricon friday night would be perfect (day that every one is signing in to their rooms and sitting around tell saturday). My idea would be maybe edge feild that way there is good food for the people that might also want to come that dont want to drink.

G/F & I had a blast last year running into con-goers at the bar. Some of us were in cosplay too & there were a lot of people at the bar that ended up hanging out with us & asking questions because they were curious about the convention. Was awsome!

I just wanted to make a note: please do not assume that anything outside the con will take place in Portland if you don't say anything.  Yes, K-Con is in Portland, but it was founded in Eugene/Springfield and a LOT of con-goers don't live in Portland (including me).



an adult night out during the convention would be awsome lawl always onto meeting new firends and having a good time :D

I have done this before, twice.  It's gone pretty well, especially the first time.  I think it would be a great idea to arrange another one in a different topic. Now's a good time to start.

Feel free to PM me if you want any pointers on what worked in past years.

It looks like my friends & I will be starting at the pre-con party at Ground Kontrol & moving on from there if we feel the need. So that might just be the best place to meet. I am almost positive that we will end up wandering elsewhere at some point, but that will be a good spot to break the ice, learn some names, & generally loosen up. :D

Oh ya, I will go ahead & mention it now...the people going to con with me & myself are all drinkers. I know this is a 21+ bar event so it shouldn't be a shocker, but I have seen a few people that weren't drinkers & I know it makes some people un-comfortable. So ya...for the record...I will be drinking for sure. :P

Psh, you will NOT get mugged on a friday night in NW. There are always TONS of people out in NW on weekend nights, especially during summer. NE or SE might be a different story, but NW is about the safest part of Portland that there is.

Sorry you won't be old enough, but I will not be getting tanked. :) What will I do if I'm in horrible shape for the next day at the con?  Hangover + convention... I imagine that'd be no fun at all.

Really?... Either you haven't had alcohol before and you're speculating, or we have very different body chemistry, dude.

I don't like drinking much at cons because very little time is spent lounging around.  There's so much to do, and you need energy to do it.  Caffeine is popular at conventions not just because it's legal for minors, but because it's helpful. :) Though neither are very good for you, but you know that.

I think the difference is age. When I was 20 I could drink all night and not be sick the next day. Now that I am 30 I get a massive headache the next morning.

I think it also depends greatly on how often you drink. Someone who has a drink once in a blue moon is way more likely to feel sick as a result of getting "tanked" than someone who drinks more often. Age definately plays a big role in it too...although I can still drink quite a bit before my next day sucks, it's nowhere close to when I was younger lol. Everyone's different when it comes to drinking...

@NekoChan234: Have you read the announcment on the front page about the pre-party at Ground Kontrol? That is where we are planning to meet up on Friday night...it starts at 9pm & goes until they close (which I imagine will be based off how busy they are like a typical 21+ hangout...2:30ish) Looks like some peeps are gonna be meeting at the hotel & heading there together.

I will be heading there with a group of 5 already...would you guys like us to wait & go with the rest of you? If so, what time should we plan to meet at the hotel entrance?
