So, I will be in Portland area this weekend! My mom's friend is getting married and I'm along for the ride. I decided to not go to the wedding and my mom is taking someone else in my place so I can hang with you all! 8D

I know it's kinda short notice but if anyone wants to hang out with the one and only Gryffinclaw then this is the weekend to do it!

I know I'm not an amazing person many people know but hey...I live in Washington and can't go to any meetups ever so I was hoping maybe some people might want to hang out at a mall or something?
I'll be staying at a friend's house in Oregon City and I can easily take the max where I need to go. I know some of the routes pretty well from past travels with Best Friend FateChooseMe but I might need a few reminders on where I'm going and when to get off. There's a bus station near the house I'm staying at so I'm good to get where ever I need to be to meet up with people.

Cosplay, normal dress, whatever. I just wanted to meet up with some con people and have some fun if no one is too busy... Pwease? [/puppy dog eyes]

Date: Saturday, Aug 14
Time: 10am - Whenever...
Place: Pioneer Place Mall, Portland
Meetup @ 10: Food Court!

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #2 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:19:51 am »

I'll go if my Dad is willing to take me :'D

Hitmage · « **Reply #3 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:27:47 am »

Well, I'd be up for it. I'm a stone's throw away from there (Milwaukie area right on the Portland border) so I'd be down for something.

Romo · « **Reply #4 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:32:12 am »

I would but I have no means of transportation until late Saturday night. D; I really wish I could though!

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #5 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:36:43 am »

Kristi - Pft, I don't know. Don't give me names. I don't live there, remember? All I know is that those things are malls... ~ 3~

Saki - We shall force him~<3

Hit - Awesome! ^^ Pitch in ideas if you got any. I'm not Portland savvy...

Romo - D8 No Max?

Romo · « **Reply #6 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:38:27 am »

Nope. D: My parents are out of town so I'm stranded at home.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:38:43 am »

lol
Well, Lloyd was the mall we invaded in our Vocaloid....ness last year!

Though, personally, I like Pioneer Place better, just b/c it's closer to more things.
(and you'll have to know where it is b/c of con

)

Romo, where do you live?

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #8 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:41:45 am »

I vote for Pioneer Place as well! and i think i know of a way to convince my dad to take me =w= and if i do go, i'll probably be my OC Saki or France owo

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #9 on:** August 12, 2010, 09:45:50 am »

Hey, I could come if you want to buy your item from me if you have a car to put it in or something =D

I live in Oregon City, soooo....

reppy · « **Reply #11 on:** August 12, 2010, 09:51:09 am »

Poooop. I has work from 3-10 on Saturday. D:

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:56:14 pm »

Romo - D8 Shall Kris come and kidnap you from your house? I'll walk from the nearest Max or Bus stop and just scoop you up and carry you the whole way here. I know I'm just as small as you but I can at least piggy back you. I'm like an ant...I've found I can carry things heavier for me! 8D (just...not for too long... >.>; )

Kristi - Ooohhhhh, I remember now. They had that arcade and stuff. And we took pictures on the kiddie rides.
Where are those pictures? D8< My Rin outfit was awesome.

Saki - Wooo~<3 France is tres bon! ^^ I'm half French, so all the power to ya for being him. [/claps]

Neon - I won't, sorry. D8 My mom will have the car for her wedding thing so I'm traveling via Max and Bus the whole time I'm there. I don't think they would appreciate me carrying a sword onto them.

Dark - 8D Really? That's awesome! I'm staying up a HUGE ass hill there. (so descriptive, right?) The road to get up is covered in trees and really spooky at night. It's close to some mill place or something. There's...water...by it... [/fail T 3T] You have no idea where I'm talking about, huh?

Reppy - D8< Then quit.
I told the same thing to Molly (Fate) when she said she works this whole weekend. Fail on her part and now on you, too. You guys even have the same work times! [/fails around] But at least I can bug her at work...she works at Carl's Jr. She should have never told me... >8D

Peoples - Who should Kris come as? o 3o
I could probably finish Sasuko by this weekend. That nightmare scared me into wanting to finish her ASAP. D8 I wanted to cry in my dreams from embarrassment and hide under a rug or bed or something.
But if not her, then who? I have a huge list of people I can be from male to female. Slutty to Not. Ninja to Thief. I would do Luka except I'm using Molly's wig for her and I probably won't be able to see Molly to get it from her. ; 3;

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:02:15 pm »

Haha! Did you pass by two stores on the way up? I live on that hill, if so. XD

I love Luka, but I'll keep my mouth shut. XD Come as whoever would be the most fun!

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:10:28 pm »

; 3; [/sniffle] I don't know. It's been forever since I've been there. The guy who lives there went to school with my mom and is out of town for the weekend so he's letting us house sit for him. We stay there every time we're down cause it's easy and we don't have to pay for anything.
But um...do you know Ed Smith? (sounds so fake, I know. XD) If so, it's his house...
If I had a street name I would tell you. D8
But um...it's like...yeah... At the bottom of the hill there is a bus station...? In a small little town thing. I can see it in my head but that doesn't help at all...

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:17:23 pm »

XD Uh...can you remember big wagons? Or a hospital? Or a waterfall maybe~?

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #16 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:19:06 pm »

No... I don't know... D8 I don't pay attention if I'm not driving. My mom yells at me all the time for it but fffff, I do it anyways. ~ 3~
I'm lucky I know it's a hill with trees...

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #17 on:** August 12, 2010, 02:01:31 pm »

Wait, i have a question. Is this on Saturday or Sunday? And what time should everyone be there?

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #18 on:** August 12, 2010, 04:47:47 pm »

Good question. XP

Probably on Saturday. I know I'm there until at least Sunday morning. I'll have to check with my mom if we are staying later than that but probably not since she has class on Monday and I have to go to Seattle for a conference for work on Tuesday...

So Saturday for the day!

As far as time...Pioneer mall opens at 10am.
I'll talk to my mom and see if I have anything going on during the day since I'm going to work a bit while I'm down. (I sell Cutco Knives [World's Sharpest Cutlery] and I'm going to be doing a few demos while I'm down so I can write off the trip on taxes and maybe make some money on the side as well.) And well...she knows who wants to see my demos so she knows the times I have to work. She hasn't told me anything yet. |D

But if I'm not working that morning, I'll probably try to get there as close to 10am as possible and hopefully get my mom to drive me there so I don't have to sit on the Max/Bus for hours on end to get where I need to go.

TL;DR
Saturday at some unknown time. My mom will be home soon and I'll find out times...

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #19 on:** August 12, 2010, 04:52:54 pm »

Alrighty then ^^ i'll probably get there sometime between noon and 2:00pm so...yeah, i guess we'll just wait untill we get an exact time. I'd also like to know exactly where everyone is going to be at go i'm not searching everywere =w=;

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #20 on:** August 12, 2010, 05:03:20 pm »

I can easily give people my number via messages if they need to text or call me to find people.
I have unlimited and my service is AT@T if anyone needs to know. ^^

Peoples!
I'm doing an attending list so I know who is coming so I know how many people I'm looking out for.
This doesn't mean you can't come if you're not up! It just gives me an idea of numbers is all.

You guys can give me RL names if you want or I'll just put up screen names.
I'm 18 (19 in less than two months~<3) if anyone needs to know for parental units or anything like that. I'm trained in CPR and First Aid and all that good stuff as well.

And if you guys want to cosplay then I can put up who we are as well so we're not like, "8D Which person are you?"

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #21 on:** August 12, 2010, 05:15:15 pm »

Ok then :3 just put me on there as "Saki" and that i'm cosplaying as France ^^

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2010, 06:51:33 pm »

I just found out that i can't go ;w; my mom and dad are working that day and truthfully, after hearing that it was going to be over 90 degrees that day, i don't really can't be walking around in such hot weather ^^; but i'll see everyone at the yaoi/yuri picnic next Thursday though :3 and Kumoricon as well.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2010, 07:11:02 pm »

; 3; Sadness...

We would be inside the mall though, so the heat wouldn't be that big of an issue...
But I understand your wishes.

I hope people can come cause it would be lame if it was just me and Kristi... [/puppy eyes] Please people, come?
I never get to go to Portland. And now that I can go, no one wants to hang out. [/sniffle & pout]

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #24 on:** August 12, 2010, 08:01:53 pm »

Double post, whatever... D|

If people need to find me, here's what I'll be wearing minus sleeves. Cause my shirt doesn't have sleeves...just spaghetti straps and mom won't let me alter it.

It's Junko from Desert Punk

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #25 on:** August 12, 2010, 09:48:58 pm »

I'll still come if you'll have me =D If I get my shirt (unlikely =( ) I'll be gary oak sans any pokemans =(

Meh name is Chris or christopher, or lynch.... or rinchi =P

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #26 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:07:41 pm »

I would love if you would. ^^
Then I wouldn't feel so alone.

You don't have to cosplay if you don't want to.
I just like doing it when I can since I normally can't. I don't go out much since I don't have many friends around here... :/
All my friends live in other states. Mostly Portland...but they all seem to be busy this weekend which is just my luck.

If I had a poke`mon cosplay I'd be one for you. But I don't. ^^;
Unless I whipped up something quick out of my closet...

camname21 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:53:12 pm »

I'll be headed in that direction saturday. Not sure when I'm meeting someone, so if this starts at 10 I'm sure there is some time to hang. Is there a spot where you are going to be waiting at around 10? No phone, so calling to meet probably wouldn't work to well. I've been in this mall once, maybe 10 years ago. So I've got no idea where anything is ether

flyinvee11 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:57:02 pm »

I'm off work at 5pm! I'll see where you guys are around then

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:03:44 pm »

How do you live without a phone? XD
Um...hmm...
I've only been in the mall once last year during con.
Let me try and remember what's where...

I don't even know why we're going to Pioneer but people said so I trust them...
I only remember the one by the Double Tree from two K-cons ago. It's a nice mall and has an arcade...
I guess they suggested this one cause it's by con...? [/shrug]

How about...Claire's? It's an easy store to spot cause it's all bright and stuff.
Here is the directory for the mall though.

camname21 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:14:59 pm »

Okay, what kind of store is this, and is there anywhere to sit outside the store? I don't want to walk around a small weird store for 30 minutes and then go "now what do I do?" :/

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #31 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:20:16 pm »

Claire's is a girly teen store kinda place. Does ear piercings and sells like...girl stuff... :/
I don't know really, I only went in there to get my ears re-pierced cause they closed up. And I think I bought scrunchies there once.

As for sitting...I'm not from Portland. |D I don't even know where Claire's is exactly but because it's a bright store it's something easy to spot.
I don't think you would even want to go inside but it's up to you. >.>
I doubt it would take me 30 minutes to find you though. And then we could meet up with the others at the food court or something so we can sit or whatever...

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #32 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:46:59 pm »

Clairs is right next to the food court at Pioneer mall. Food court is a good meet up local, that or at pioneer square outside.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #33 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:49:32 pm »

See? 8D I'm so amazing I can guess where a good met up spot is. ^^ Hehe

At least someone knows what's going on though. >.> Thanks Neon.

Since it's supposed to be in the 90s, I think the food court would be best... o 3o

camname21 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:53:18 pm »

I'll be biking, so If you see some guy with long hair a bicycle helmet and backpack, that is me.

Sakurakisser · « **Reply #35 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:11:35 am »

im working saturday at nordstrom's cafe at llyod center that day!

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #39 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:42:51 am »

D8 I understand but you all still suck...

But yeah...a lot of people's weekends in the work world aren't actually on the weekend anymore.
My step-dad's weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday...

Sakurakisser · « **Reply #40 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:52:49 am »

my weekend started today but saturday is a random work day .. ugh. lol

Nando-KiT · « **Reply #41 on:** August 13, 2010, 11:02:32 am »

i would hang but zoki is my transportation and she is working

Classy Viking · « **Reply #42 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:09:41 pm »

Well seeing Scott Pilgrim last night, has drained me of my cash, but I'll see what I can do.

Ten am seems kind of early to me, so if I'm late I'll give Neon a ring, since I have his number.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #43 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:13:11 pm »

lol I understand.
A lot of people work so I figured people who work late in the day can come and then leave. ^^

LIES, only like 5% bike, and maybe 1% all the time. Plus I don't have bike clothes or one of those messenger bags they do. So its vary unlikely I would get confused as someone else ^^ I might dig out a camera and take a pic >.< I don't like my pictures.
