Haha, I'm sure it'd be fine. :]

I hope they have that huge hello kitty mascot walking around like they did last year! I want my picture with it again. xD

Hey, totemo. Question. Your picture seems very familiar. Have I seen you around fari or anything?

Lit_of_Fey · « **Reply #106 on:** April 15, 2007, 06:40:38 pm »

*sigh* okay well I guess the verdict is in I cannot attend the festival as it conflicts with a jazz festival that I HAVE to attend :c *cries and dies* this sucks >_<

I am very sorry! I will take pictures for you though. Jazz ain't bad though

Argh I wanna go, but I'm going to a wedding shower, that day. The actual times during the day don't conflict, but I dunno how I'd get to where I needed to go afterwords. Dx

And if I was dressing up, it'd be weird to show up to a wedding shower in Lolita or something, omg. :XD[/size]

Oh! I get to go to this now, since my hiking partner for the weekend is out of commission with some kind of back trouble! Yay! Maybe I'll get to meet some peeps there!

~Wait... I didn't see it was the Portland Uwajimaya... Maybe I can still make it. Anyone have some directions from I-5 S, or good bus routes?

cupcake_abuser_zooshi · « **Reply #113 on:** April 16, 2007, 09:34:45 pm »

I'm going for the first time this year. It sounds fun!

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #114 on:** April 16, 2007, 09:40:31 pm »

It's at the Beaverton Uwajimaya. :3 It's fun! I hope lots of people come in cosplay - if you're thinking about it, go for it! You won't be the only one.

as for directions, I took the max & bus there once (took a while). I don't remember exactly though. ;; check the tri-met site perhaps?

kyonichi · « **Reply #115 on:** April 16, 2007, 09:58:09 pm »

Lol, I'm from Tacoma, so if I don't get to borrow a car, it's Amtrak to Portland, then bus from there... Unless anyone else is coming from this far north and wants lots of love and gas monies!

jaybug · « **Reply #116 on:** April 16, 2007, 10:22:10 pm »

Google maps

Tomthefanboy posted this on an earlier page.

Tri-met from Union Station to Uwajimaya is: http://www.trimet.org/go/cgi-bin/itin.pl

I hope that helps. 1. Walk 0.28 mile southeast from Union Station Amtrak Depot (800 NW 6th Ave) to NW 3rd & Flanders (Stop ID 12777)
2. 11:32 a.m. Board 35 Greeley to Portland
which continues as 35 Macadam to Oregon City TC See footnote
3. 11:41 a.m. Get off at SW Market & 2nd (Stop ID 3760) See footnote
4. 11:47 a.m. Board 54 Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy to Beaverton TC See footnote
5. 12:11 p.m. Get off at SW Beaverton- Hillsdale & 107th
6. Walk 0.1 mile east to 10500 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy

Travel time: 51 minutes (including 12 minutes walking and 6 minutes waiting)

Look for a shorter waiting time.

Fares: Adult All Zone ($2.00), Youth/Student ($1.35) or Honored Citizen ($0.85) Where to buy

Tri-met's web-site won't save. I hope this isn't too much.

EDIT: I put some tags on the naked link that was breaking the tables. - Guspasho

Well, it looks like it'll cost me almost $60 round trip, plus it'll be close to two hours each way... so I probably won't make it if I can't get the car for the day, so I'll try my best on that option! Y'all cross your fingers for me!

i'd love to know who's wearing what, so i'll recognize you at the festival. i have a bad habit of not recognizing people. x__x

i'm bumping this post in case other people haven't seen it. :3

We will be there in our maid gear. I hope we run into each other--!! ^_^

YAAAAY, I PROBABLY GET TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL.

Yaaaaaay.

ThiefKingsHier · « **Reply #121 on:** April 17, 2007, 05:49:23 am »

I will probably go. Ill wear my FINISHED Renji costume since it was only half done for SC >_<

For those of you thinking of coming from the Sea-tac area, while I don't want to discourage you from coming out here, I had always assumed that the Seattle Uwajimaya would have a similar event at the same time. Anyone know?

i am pretty sure they do

guspasho · « **Reply #124 on:** April 17, 2007, 09:55:33 am »

Never mind. Judging from their site apparantly Beaverton is the only one. Check it out at www.uwajimaya.com they have a schedule of events at the Sakura Festival.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #125 on:** April 17, 2007, 03:42:54 pm »

awesome! if anyone's in cosplay, expect a short haired alice (in wonderland) cosplayer to ask for a picture of/with you. ♥♥♥

Fudokage · « **Reply #126 on:** April 17, 2007, 04:16:23 pm »

I won't be in cosplay, but I'll probably ask to get a picture with you none the less.

pieisexactlythree · « **Reply #127 on:** April 17, 2007, 04:16:59 pm »

I might be persuaded to wear my neko ears.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #128 on:** April 17, 2007, 04:17:53 pm »

^ pi, WEAR THEM! :3!! ♥

Shadow · « **Reply #129 on:** April 17, 2007, 08:19:41 pm »

Ok I'm officially going now! X3 I'll be going with State Alchemist, my other friend I went to K-con with, and my friend who's an exchange student from Taiwan. (She's really looking forward to this!) I'm really excited! From what I understand we'll be getting there pretty early.

Isn't it going to be rainy this weekend? I hope not though. ;-; I don't know whether or not I'll cosplay if it is.

Fudokage · « **Reply #130 on:** April 17, 2007, 09:36:24 pm »

I hear it's supposed to rain. YAY! You're going, shadow!

I'm getting excited.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #131 on:** April 17, 2007, 09:49:46 pm »

I'll be wearing my Pocky Helmet. So I'll be really hard to miss.

If it's raining I'll have to bring an umbrella to keep the boxes dry.

Kyuubi · « **Reply #132 on:** April 17, 2007, 10:01:14 pm »

If I go, I'm going as my Hige/Blue offspring (which I have named Kaji for the heck of it) With hige's clothes, collar, and a black tail. 8D Totemo has already seen my tail XD

superjaz · « **Reply #133 on:** April 17, 2007, 11:30:26 pm »

i still don't know what i'll wear either some sort of costume or GIR gear, but i've started making cute hair things so i might wear some of those

Irate Beldam · « **Reply #134 on:** April 18, 2007, 12:17:34 am »

I wish I could go in full cosplay.
I mean, I dress weird/ out of the ordinarily usually, but it would be weird going as Toboe or Lolita or something, and then showing up like that to the Wedding Shower I'm going to afterwords. ♥

Haha, they'd think I was a freak~

Flatline · « **Reply #135 on:** April 18, 2007, 12:42:38 am »

I should totally pull together a Shadowrun-style Street Samurai.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #136 on:** April 18, 2007, 06:49:26 am »

ack, rain. *___* [prepares umbrella]

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #137 on:** April 18, 2007, 06:46:47 pm »

It turns out it'll just be Alice and I~ I believe we'll both be in red tohugh~
I'm having one of our friends Victoria (Who is also doing a lolita sewing panel for all your seamstress/seamstressers out there!) make a replica of this skirt;

SO SAY HAAAY IF YOU SEE MEEE.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #138 on:** April 18, 2007, 07:18:09 pm »

Hmmm.... so if Neko and friends aren't having a big lolita party then we can move the Pocky Club up a little bit.

Let's say our meeting will be at 1:00pm, just after the Taiko drums.

Neko I have the forms that you'll need for the panel and a budget request form. Do you guys need more than one of them?

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #139 on:** April 18, 2007, 07:21:19 pm »

Mm. I dunno. I think that we'll be making all the food and unless you want to re-emburse us again for gift bags (door prizes and outfit prizes) and food stuff, I think we'll be okay.

Is it possible to have a projector hooked up in the lolita how to? I'd want to show examples and have pictures running the length of the panel.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #140 on:** April 18, 2007, 07:45:35 pm »

Projector and screen and computer will be items that you need to list on the form itself. I'm pretty sure that we have them, I just don't know if they'll be in your panel room.

That is something for me to discuss with the Programming officials. If we're lucky we won't have to run the gear all over the con like we did last year.

So, Victoria is the one doing that pannel? n____n

Oh, and Caroline~You still need help with your pannel, correct?
I know I said I could help, like, months ago, but just to let you know, I still can. ♥

Just tell me when and I should be able to come help~ : }
I only have classes three days a week this term, so I have some free time~
And you have my phonenumber, so just give the word when you need help! ♥♥

Eek this makes me want to buy special things for the pannels to help out~~[/size]

Only a 30% change of rain on Sat. Everyone wish really hard so it won't rain!

Excellent!

Yes, Kumoricon will be there and will have a booth. If anyone wants to help out at the booth, and you haven't talked to Antares yet, please pm her with your info!

We have quite a few people that are going to be there helping out that day, but the more the merrier.

Well, how old do you have to be to help out?

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #144 on:** April 19, 2007, 01:59:31 pm »

Well, 18 and over can be staff.
I think anyone can be a volunteer, you're not going to be able to do much if your under 13 but I haven't seen any age restrictions on volunteers, just what they're allowed to do. Heck, 5 year olds could technically do street team with adult supervision.
