There will be a cosplay contest for some fabulous prizes so if you are into cosplay then you should dress up.

There were about 15-20 people cosplaying at the last party (myself included).

As far as any 'scenic' areas, there are some trees, grassy areas, benches, nothing really 'scenic', but hopefully it won't be raining and we can do some outdoor photoshoots.  I know Irnogs wanted to do some of that at the March party.

Leslie and I will be cosplaying. :3 She'll be in a Blue Craine pattern Kimono with a Golden yellow Obi, and I'll be a not-green-hair Dejiko. :3 With a stupid ass hat. D: It'snotevenacatit'slikeagoat. Idontlikegoats. -whine-

[Seraph]

I may bring my haku cosplay.   but I have to some major detangling of the wig X_X

[Neko_Chan]

-glomps- You better Mister!

[hikaru_maxwell]

Dude!  *laughs*   I liked your wig from Scon....(I'm gonna be doing a Yuna cosplay myself....except that the shoes are sooo wrong)....

[Seraph]

overall, its pretty likely that I will. detangling wig isn't overly hard, just tenious and time cosuming.

Hmm, I'm not really sure on campus policy on that sort of thing (you'd be surprised how anal some of the rules are), but we'll see what we can find out. Just make sure you get a staff member's permission before you light anything!

We had troubles with people lighting fireworks at the March event, and just to give everyone a fair warning: Security will not tolerate that kind of thing this time. Security has mentioned that fireworks are most certainly considered an explosive and anyone that is lighting them on campus will be dealt with in the same manner as they would be were they in possession of any other type of weapon! So PLEASE DON'T BRING THEM!

Thanks!

We got mentioned in the entertainment section of the local paper under the 'BEST BETS' on the first inside page (page 3).

here is a link to the online version for those of you who are curious:

My wife said we are already getting calls asking for info.  This could bring in LOTS of folks.  *grins*

[hikaru_maxwell]

you can dl it before if you want, but we'll have install disks there for people to use.

[Irnogs]

Just to let everyone know: Our site is currently down as we tranfer over to the new host. We expect everything to be up and running at about 5PM today.

Thanks for your patience.

[Seraph]

I seem to lost contact with my ride so I may not make it.

[Kankuro Of Sand]

gotta love salem

[hikaru_maxwell]

My ride was fun.  And we ended up doing like, three U-turns (well, maybe just two), and that parkinglot was confusing!  But the party itself was great!  

Someone post the winners of the contest?  (I had to leave early, because my ride was leaving.)

[khayman]

No offense, but your ride isn't into scheduling pickups at the last minute.

Get on the ball next time

I found the big LANIME  THIS WAY signs helpful lol.

One thing to note is mapquest does not tell you which street to turn off of from lancaster. Fortunately I had the printout from here which does, but I did go past the campus the first time. The campus sign isn't visible when you're coming off I-5

I mentioned this to someone at the lanime, but would it be possible to get dollies for the people bringing PCs? You know, the little hand carts. It would beat lugging the PCs from the car to the room, and you'd only need 1-2.

well I didn't realize what day it was until the last minute(normally, I dun need to know what the date is so I'm usually unaware of it).   so its my fault on that, but hopefully next time, we work it out better if I ask you for a ride again.

[rarnom]

The parties are always the second Saturday of the month so the July one is on the 9th.  But you can always make the August one...

when/where will lan details for Jun 11th be posted?

Specific event details about the next event should be posted within 7-10 days, but in the meantime here is what I can give:

JUNE LANime party
June 11th
2pm-midnight
Chemeketa Community College Building 34 *EDIT*

Sorry... I've been busy so I haven't been on these boards for a few days, but I can tell you right now that we plan on having carts available next time. We kinda remembered this time, but at the last minute and media didn't have any available

Don't worry.. we'll have that next time.

[rarnom]

So the latest word from Irnogs is that we will be in Building #34 for the June party.  


This will of course change the way everything is set up a bit.

as always visit our forums for the latest:

[Irnogs]

Hello everyone, I sure hope everybody reads this, even though it'll be on thesuperbest.com's home page soon....

Just to let you know, due to the amount of time that these events requires for planning, set-up, coordinating sponsors, etc, etc... we've decided we just simply don't have the time or manpower to continue running awesome events like May's every month. (It took us about 3 weeks of good solid planning to plan may's event, and we actually started some preparations before the April event.)

Consequently, we are no longer running the LANs monthly! We will start having our events once per term. There is also the possibility that the June event will be cancelled as graduation services are taking place the same day (and I should be graduating... woohoo!), and there's a number of staff that can't be there the whole day.

The next event we are certain we'll be running is in October. We realize there's plenty to keep people busy during the summer (vacations, other SuperBest activities, PDX LAN, Kumoricon), so while we won't be running the LANs, there'll still be plenty for you to do.

Eric will still have meetings at SIP and Borderlands, and we are working on a monthly screening for him at the school. Of course this would be anime/hk films only, no LAN or gaming.
