DancingTofu · « **Reply #29 on:** April 01, 2011, 07:14:22 pm »

Debating going to this. Anyone I know going and want to chill? I'll probably hang out there until I get bored then go jam at my practice space for a while if anyone wants to hang out.

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #30 on:** April 01, 2011, 07:38:22 pm »

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #32 on:** April 01, 2011, 07:47:48 pm »

It may be a little bit hard but I'm going to try to go.

Roddy Manic · « **Reply #33 on:** April 02, 2011, 10:31:55 am »

Where is Milwaukee from Beaverton, is it further or sorter away then downtown Portland?

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #34 on:** April 02, 2011, 10:51:34 am »

I can get to the beverton transit center that's no problem but from there I have no idea where to go from there.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #35 on:** April 02, 2011, 11:10:49 am »

@Charles- I'm going

See you there

As for getting there from BTC, go south down Lombard to Highway 10/Farmington/Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, then it's maybe half a mile East on the south side of Hwy 10. It's a bit of a walk but if you've got a transfer from the max you can just take the 54 bus there. It runs right down highway 10. Just let the bus driver know you're trying to get to Uwajimaya and they should let you know which stop to get off at. Alternatively you can just take the 54 from downtown for similar results. I'd recommend checking google maps and/or trimet.org for more complete directions.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #37 on:** April 03, 2011, 03:26:39 am »

I am so gonna get lost and like attached D:

Roddy Manic · « **Reply #38 on:** April 03, 2011, 05:46:09 pm »

I could pick you up. Maybe closer if I pick you up at the Elmonica stop.. I think that's the spelling. the one on 170th and Baseline.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #39 on:** April 03, 2011, 05:52:23 pm »

it might be that stop

Ritsu-chan · « **Reply #40 on:** April 03, 2011, 09:44:20 pm »

I am hoping to go, we'll see^^

camname21 · « **Reply #41 on:** April 05, 2011, 08:42:28 pm »

Jacob- I live in milwaukie too, if you have a bike I would be willing to ride with you there

Rode there last year or the one before that. It might seem kind of far but you could always take the bus part way. Or all the way, if you go to tri-met's site and plan the trip.

Just think of the exercise you will get!~ Let me know if you 'might' want to.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #42 on:** April 06, 2011, 03:19:23 am »

Camname lol it would be great to ride a bike but the problem is is that I will be wearing a cosplay lol.

TheDevilsNightmare · « **Reply #43 on:** April 06, 2011, 01:11:55 pm »

So what goes on in sakura dept? Do we play baseball? I kept readin ppl talkin about food so what goes down there. Am interested to go.

superjaz · « **Reply #44 on:** April 06, 2011, 01:29:19 pm »

Okay sakura fest, it varys year to year how big it is, so this is a description of past years and not me sayin this will be there this year.

Some years big some small, have to ask uwaji's if they know how many booths, but even then its hard to get a strait answer some times.

Uwajimaya closes off their parking lot and booths are are put up. Some sell stuff like hawaiian clothin, sauces , banks and buisnesses will have tables pictching their company and giving out candy and pens. I call it adult trick or treating. Food stands like taiyaki, shaved ice, noodles and other foods for sale. Some times they have little ticket games for kids. Then there is a stage set up for preformances like taiko drumming, dances, kendo ect.
Inside the store there might be a cooking demo or sales, it gets really busy there.

So you go, wear a cosplay or otaku-ish clothing, look around the booths buy something yummy to nibble on, watch a demo, say hi to peeps.

Ah, well that might be a problem

You could always change when you get there, something I usually do when i bike that far because it is a bit of a work out. I doubt you would want to change or carry an outfit (especially an elaborate one) with you in a back pack or pannier (bags you see on ether side of the wheels of some bikes) all the way there. The option is still always open.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #46 on:** April 06, 2011, 04:24:57 pm »

@TheDevilsNightmare
If i remember right, last year it started at about 11am and ended around 5pm. I'm not sure if it changed this year though.

TheDevilsNightmare · « **Reply #49 on:** April 06, 2011, 06:49:33 pm »
