Hello! I thought it would be a smart idea for everyone going to Portcon Maine to meet up somewhere IN Maine.

The place I have in mind is my local game shop, Games Unlimited.

499 Hammond Street
Bangor, Maine 04401

The place is like a mini-convention open seven days a week, usually packed on saturday morning-afternoon.

The front room is where the main shop is, with two stands: The main shop that sells TCGs, TFGs, Anime DVDs, magazines and about half of the Anime Swag. Then there's a shop on the other side of the main room that sells candy, snacks (including Pocky, of course). The middle of the room has a few tables and is normally used to hang out as well as being the main room for tournaments.

There are also two back rooms. The first back room is a lighted room with a few tables used for card games, card game tournaments, and the use of Laptops.

The other back room is used exclusively for video games. There is a projector that lights up the entire wall on one side of the room for the game screen. For $5.00 per hour, you can rent use of the Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, Nintendo Gamecube, or a DVD. Everyone rents either Smash Bros. Brawl or Super Mario Strikers, but I always bring my mini-library of games with me: One Piece Unlimited Adventure, Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and Guitar Hero 3 for rent with one guitar.

If that's not enough, there's also a pizzeria literally around the corner that sells BBQ Chicken Pizza, which is always worth a try. They also sell calzones, french fries, spaghetti, and other things as well.

So, if anyone would like to meet somewhere before the con here, please let me know.

If you'd like to meet here, please designate a date and time you'd be willing to come up before the con. If you have somewhere else you'd be willing to meet, let me know and I will post it up.

Places to Meet:
-Games Unlimited|499 Hammond Street|Bangor, Maine

Persons meeting:
-Hakuro de Killer

If I can get up there, I'd love to go. XD *besides, then I can drive by Kittery and get some gummi strawberries!*

If a date gets figured out, I can always check with the 'rents (I CAN'T DRIVE DX) to see if we can go up and I can just run off like an abused child or something idk.

When there's more figured out, I'll be able to figure out more as far as me being there goes XD

---

Well, I can be at the shop any day whatsoever at almost any time, so it's completely up to you as you're the only one who has responded so far.

---

If only me and Glimmerous could go to the meeting. I'm 3 hours south, Sanford Maine, and she's all the way in Florida and doesn't know when she'll be in Maine ._.

I live close to Bangor. I know where that is, so it wouldn't be a problem for me to get there. Now we just need to set meeting date.

You live close to Bangor!? WOOO! Finally someone who lives in the general area!! Also, since we're going as Damon Gant and Young Ema Skye, we need a script and we can have plenty of time to practice it! WOO HOOO!!

Anyway, please excuse my shouts of joy. I was... ecstatic...

Okay, now we need a basic topic on what the script should be based on and we can rehearse at GU!

So, whereabouts do you live? Brewer? Orono? Maybe even... Hampden?

Old Town.

What characters are going to be in this skit, anyway? Obviously Gant and Ema... Anyone else?

Old Town? That is pretty close, isn't it?

Anyway, I dunno if there's a third person. I'm hoping for a Phoenix, but it's not necessary. This is meant to be the scene in 1-5 where Gant, after catching Ema and Phoenix poke around in his office, dismisses Phoenix and supposedly interrogates her about something.

---

Yeah. I can quote a good portion of Rise From the Ashes from memory. (I liked it.)

Old Town is very close to Bangor, thankfully.

Well, this skit is going to be one of those "What happened behind closed doors?" kinds of skits. Anyway, I don't know what I am going to do with the script. I would love to do a Fannon Gant, but first, it's a PG-13 skit. Second, only people form Court Records will get the raep references. Therefore, I will be going to the convention and doing the skit as Cannon Gant rather than Fannon Gant. Sorry, Croik-chan.

Anyway, I have a few thoughts on the script, but I'm not sure which ones to approach:

1. Gant's Depression - He tells Ema all about himself from why he enjoys swimming so much to why he wanted to be a detective and, inevitably, chief of police.

2. Phoenix's Birthday Present - He calls Ema in to show her a pair of swimming trunks to give Phoenix for his birthday, which happens to be coming up.

3. Lana's Secret - He calls Ema in to tell her the shocking truth that Lana... is gay.

4. Edgeworth's Secret - He calls Ema in to tell her the shocking truth that "Worthy"... likes to dress up as "Wrighto"!

5. Damon Gant the Fortuneteller - He tells Ema what the future holds: She will become a Detective, not a Forensic Scientist, and she will work with a prosecutor that is also a rock star.

Maybe combining all of the above with the exception of 1? Some of these add additional optional roles:

1. Phoenix
2. Phoenix
3. Phoenix, Lana, Franziska OR Adrian
4. Phoenix, Edgeworth
5. Phoenix, Adult Ema, Klavier

Any thoughts?

Finally, I usually go to Games Unlimited on saturdays every week if you would like to join me one of those weeks. But as I said, I can go there almost anytime, but I need advance notice. Also, I doubt anyone else is really going to come. Oos isn't coming and everyone else is too far away to come just for a pre-Portcon meeting...

OOS-CHAAN!! PLEASE COME TO PORTCOOON!!!

I don't really have any preferences on the topic.

I'm not a horrible writer, and writing humorous stories/skits is a strength of mine. (Though the last skit I helped write was a parody of the whole "Brad/Jen/Angelina" thing back in eigth grade. I suck at writing parodies.)

We have to write it so that people who aren't fans of the AA series (*gasp*) will find it funny. That could be a bit of a problem.

Does anyone else want to get involved?

It'll definitely be difficult to write with that in mind. Lucky for me, i have a lot of friends who have never played Phoenix Wright.
