Hey guys!
So it seems like a Meet and Greet in the PNW is an idea that people in the area are finding pretty groovy and I'm down to plan another one. Please feel free to use this thread for suggestions on a good time of the year (summer, spring, fall, etc) and maybe some fun suggestions for what to do or what you'd like to see! (my gift bags last year made me feel like a total derp! XD )
I think the Woodland Park Zoo would be awesome to spend a day at and picnic in but there's also the aquarium or AFK Tavern again. Also: CUPCAKE FLAVORS! I will bake this time, I promise!

Woman baking is my thing, you know that. Don't make me stab you with a spatula.

I would totally be up for this! I'm not sure if the zoo still allows food inside but I do know right outside one of their gates is a decent size park.
I'd suggest either Spring or Fall for this. Some time when kids are still in school so parking won't be a huge issue. Summer time is super packed there with kiddo's running amok.

Parue Woman baking is my thing, you know that. Don't make me stab you with a spatula. You and I will create magic cupcakes! Spring is ok by me. Somewhere around spring break, I'd think. Late march, early April-ish?

After being out of school for a while I'm not sure when breaks are. Late May - June this year was beautiful yet not overly hot.

All this cupcake talk made me wonder. Have either of you seen or looked through a cook book called Hello Cupcake and What's New Cupcake?

The zoo allows for waterbottles but im not sure abuut food. If we were going to do it there we might want to see abot a group / event rate, because otherwise you have to add in another $15 per person to base cost ontop of food / gass just to get in.

Shanyume You are officially that much more awesome! I was going to suggest you two look through one of those and make the cupcakes together. So far I've made the sunflower ones and the popcorn ones (marshmallows) Last year we came up with cupcake flavors based on some of the characters. For Sailor Venus, for example, we came up with a dark chocolate chip cupcake with a chocolate/raspberry swirled buttercream. And since Tuxedo Mask is kind of cheesy I think we came up with a black bottom cheesecake cupcake with cream cheese buttercream Parue I think I won Hello Cupcake. XD I always get cupcake books for my birthday, lol. Well, we can always leave the food in the car while we zoo and then get our hands stamped for lunch picnic like we did with the fam. If I can steal you and your mom's Costco card I don't think it would be too expensive to feed a small crowd so long as everyone bought their own tickets. Depending on how many people RSVP group rates might be something to look in to

Going along with that it might be fun if you know who is RSVPing to do cupcakes with their characters colors or symbol. sweatdrop Just an idea lol
