MISSION COMPLETE 07.21.24: Portland Pride Parade

[1nfern0]

Tee and I are in - provided we have somewhere sheltered to rest and change so we aren't standing in the sun in costume for two and a half hours before the parade like last year.

I'd like to discuss getting a hotel room to change in that will be more central to the staging area if others are keen on contributing for this, or possibly even seeing if a hotel wants to donate use of a conference room for a couple of hours.

As soon as we get a rough idea of where our staging area is going to be, I intend to approach the closest hotel and see if they have a conference room that we can use as a changing and storage area for the parade. If there are costs involved, I’ll update here.

Roster me as a scout trooper. I've got some neat plans to decorate it for the parade!

I am in again for this year. Costume TBD. If we are opening it up to other clubs I'd happily join as a Mandalorian Protector.

Yes, other clubs are welcome!

I don't believe spotters are required to pay the entry fee... although GEC's can correct me if I'm incorrect.

Spotters do not need to send fee. So all good there.

Alright, folks. I've looked up our spot, and it looks like we're #168 in line. City Center Parking and Parking NW on 9th Ave are the closest parking spots to our staging area. There's a Hampton Inn that I've reached out to nearby about using their conference room as a changing/storage area so we don't have to wait in kit for over two hours in the heat again like last year. The rate for the conference room is $50/hour. I'm waiting on the hotel to get back to me with the contracts and details, but I'm thinking we'd be good with 4-5 hours, so the rate would be about $250. Once I get confirmation from the hotel on a total amount, and we get a head count, I'll post with a cost per member. Cheers.

I updated the original post with the number and staging map link: we are #168

Awesome! Thank you for looking into that! I’d think 4 hours would be plenty, yeah?

4 Hours would give us the room from 10 to 2. Unlocked at 930. I'd feel more comfortable giving us until 3 so we're not having to hurry back after walking the parade. I plan on stopping by today to discuss with them further and put down whatever deposits necessary for the space.

For now, sign me up as krennic, and I will pay the fee here by the 19th unless if I need to pay sooner thanks.
