December Karaoke Meetup?

Hi everyone! My name is Laura. I've recently moved to Portland and I'm really excited to get involved in the gothic & lolita community out here. I LOVE karaoke boxes so I was hoping to organize a karaoke meet up for the comm..

A karaoke box place called Voicebox recently opened up in NW Portland!
Would anyone be interested in having a meet up there next month? Their website is here, if you'd like to check it out for yourself. It says that they charge $7/hr per person. They have boxes that can hold from 8 to 24 people. The minimum time charged is one hour and then after that it is charged in 15 minute increments.

Since I'm new to the community, I'm not sure of the ages of everyone.. here is some info that I copy and pasted from the Voicebox site about age restrictions:
Minors are welcome at Voicebox until 9pm. Minors under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Minors between 13 and 16 must be accompanied by an adult after 6pm.
Due to OLCC restrictions, alcoholic beverages may not be served in any karaoke box containing minors, even if parents or guardians are present.


I'm not sure if anyone has been karaoke boxes in the past, but I used to frequent them back when I lived in Michigan. They are sooo much fun! And they have karaoke in multiple languages. I think there is like one big company that supplies the song lists for Japanese karaoke here in the U.S. and so I'm sure they will have a good selection of anime theme songs and whatnot :) If their songlist is in kanji/hiragana, I can help with looking up songs for people who don't read Japanese.

Anyways~ I was thinking sometime during the weekend of December 12th (meaning Friday, Saturday or Sunday)? They are open from 1pm to 2:30am. If you're interesting in going let me know what day/time you are available. If that weekend doesn't work for you, let me know what days would be good :D

Thanks!

Epic.
I might be interested. I don't know my work schedule for that date, though.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION. My friends and I have been looking for a Karaoke place.

My final for my class is due on that Friday so definitely not then, but I could probably go one of the other days that weekend. Like Shanon said December is a little unpredictable as far as schedules, but it would be great to have a meet up again. It's been a long time.

If you want to make this the main meet up, it would be great if you or anyone else who normally organizes would want to help out! :D

Oh! No, hhaa it's your dealieo, you can do it! Haha I'm fat and sassy/ lazy, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be organizing a meet that would conflict with this one. XD XD

It would be fun if we could all go out for dinner or something, too, though! do something...really...wintery. Like eating and getting fat! Idk, karaoke just sounds so fuuuun AHH ,3

Alright, I just wanted make sure I wasn't stepping on anyone's toes.. Are you suggesting dinner afterwards/beforehand? Or another day completely? I probably wouldn't make it out dinner unless the restaurant had some amazing vegan food on their menu... but I was thinking about making up some cupcakes to bring to karaoke (if they allow that). :)

Ooh that would be fun to bring cupcakes! maybe if they allow it, we could all make it a pot-luck if some people have food specialties they need to eat or something..? XD

Oh, and this was also suggested to me, but...International lolita day one of two days a year, anyway) is on Dec. 6! Do you think that would be a good day to hold it??

Well, it didn't say a "legal guardian" so then after 6pm you are fine.
I'm at least over 21, and so are some of the other girls, so that would count me as being a present "adult." XD

They don't exactly mean our parents I think. XD
