Okay...Here's something that has had me thinking; where are all the anime fans in Oregon?? (I'm not asking you to tell me where you live).

I'm just wondering why all the anime fans that go to the kumoricon aren't in my area. I find it strange. Is there like a specific area in Oregon where everyone is? I feel so left out since no one in my area (that I know of) goes to the Kumoricon :(

I live in Portland, but around the Parkrose area. I've noticed that there's like nobody here except me, my cousin, a friend and probably her brother that will be going to kumoricon. =\ Everybody seems to be located in salem or beaverton. (or from what i've seen so far)

I'm in downtown Portland and the Lloyd Center district. I know of other otakus in the area (one of them works at the mall's Suncoast), and have friends in the Gladstone area who are into anime or anime-related material (manga, certain video games, etc).

There are a handful of us here, but we all rub shoulders with the local gaming community for our LANime parties which typically bring in 40+ local folks if not more.

I have found that there are ALWAYS peeps around who like anime, they just aren't aware yet of the various clubs, conventions, etc...

There is a TON of us around here.
I'm one of the only one of my friends that goes to Kumoricon though. Most my friends dont cause their parents wont let them, or money, or some other excuse, lol.

thing is people around you might be otaku with out you knowing it,i had this friend  back in middle school, we didnt hang out much, be mostly saw each outher because we were best friends with the same guy, well i dont see him for few years the next time i do he's prez of psu anime cl;ub and staff at k-con so you never know till you ask but the problem is people are afraid of asking because as neko pointed out its not somthing really popular and we do get teased, so dont be afraid of advatising what you love

That is a good idea. I should show I like anime in a less obvious way. I'll be drawing way more Naruto fanart in class when I go back to school in September :P

Oh and I did find one person who is somewhat near me who likes anime too! It's a great start! :) But I woiuld love to make even more friends who like anime, and who I could cosplay around and not feel worried from their reactions!

Yes yes, Beaverton has an Uwajimaya.  God I hate you guys.  *grrgg*

I'm from Vancouver, Washington but I'm an Oregon girl at heart.  I love that state.  *sobs uncontrolably*

But there are fans of anime in Portland atleast they just don't like to make themselves known like other cities.

I'm not in Oregon. I'm in Washington.

And I know several cool Otaku. Nate, Zack, Ben, Jake, Travis (who said he was gonna be Sasuke because I was gonna be Naruto), Justin and a few others. All of whom rock.

Zack and Nate have the biggest freaking anime/manga collection I have ever seen, my GOD. Even more stuff than I have. (but then, I didn't know where to buy Anime stuff until I found the stores around Portland when I was 16. >_>;)

In any event, you get the point.

(Oh, if Zack and Nate are on this forum, I look forward to seeing you guys at the con!)
