Anypony in the Sea-Tac area, go to http://www.meetup.com/Bronies-SeaTac/

If any bronies coming to the Portland meeting want to contact me, use pk.mlp.fim @ gmail.com without the spaces. Or just use the meetup page itself!

Buh. Why yall always gotta be so far away from me?

Snowfall said...

Aww. None for Ohio or nearby or anything?

KantisCutes said...

New Zealand bronies, are there any?

Purple Tinker said...

@Snowfall I am working with somepony to set up the Ohio brony meetup group-- so sit tight!

If anypony else would like to sponsor a meetup group local to themselves, email me (prpltnkr @ gmail.com) and I'll tell ya how to get 50% off on the Meetup group!

SEATTLE?!?!?! W00T!!!!!!

@KantisCutes

Wait, New Zealand is a real place? I thought that was a myth!

(lol, kidding)

But to be honest, I don't think there are that many out there.

Sandman said...

We need a Florida meetup.

Anonymous said...

Big question: Will there be pony meetups during Anime Expo or Comicon?

Purple Tinker said...

There seem to be a lot of bronies in Central FL. Anypony want to organise a CFL meetup? Or a South FL meetup? Or whatever! Either way, if you want to sponsor a meetup-- it costs a little money (under $50)-- let me know via email and I'll tell you how to get the cheapy deal.

Purple Tinker said...

@Anonymous

I'll talk to Blog Brony about starting a discussion thread on 'which con[s] would you like to see a pony meetup/track at'.

Anonymous said...

I can imagine that these RL brony meetups are going to be really awkward.

Anonymous said...

I wonder if there are enough bronies in Dallas/Fort Worth to make it worthwile.

Bejoty said...

Woohoo! I was literally about to start figuring out meetup stuff this weekend! You beat me to it! D:
Anyway I'd love to help out, so I'll throw ya an email~

mariomarc said...

any bronies in British Columbia?

Anonymous said...

Chicago meetup?

Anonymous said...

Britain? HAHAHAHA AS IF TRAIN FARES ARE CHEAP ENOUGH FOR A ONE-OFF TRIP.

;_;

This is awesome. I'll be in NYC tomorrow anyway with my mom, brother, and grandmother, so if only it was scheduled tomorrow...

Yo, are there any in Brisbane, Australia? Figured I'd check, didn't see any humanised ponies at the con we just had.

Me! Although, you know, nobodymustknow.jpg

nova_25 said...

Darnit... all places in the US.

So FAR away...

Would be great if there was something in Quebec.
But I doubt it will ever happen...

One can hope, right ?

@Purple Tinker

Oh, that would be a huge favor to me, thank you.

Purple Tinker said...

Hay Anon from North NJ! Go join the NYC meetup group! :)

HMS Mule said...

Well I do live 45mins from NYC so maybe.

Yes, Anime Expo. Anypony else out there from LA? I know from seeing some poll somewhere that there are lots of pony fans in California...

Onsokumaru said...

>NYC Meet up
Hmmm...might go.

Anonymous said...

I demand a Los Arabias or San Fancolto meet-up

siraj said...

Sent you an e-mail, Tinker.

@mariomarc

Eyyup, I'm in BC. If you're in the Greater Vancouver, you could head to the Portland one, like I may end up going to.

Purple Tinker said...

To the anonymous pony from Coltifornia: If you want to sponsor a meetup group, just shoot me an email and I'll tell ya how to get the good prices.

Homfrog said...

Is there a DC chapter yet?

Anonymous said...

Dallas brony here.

MaskedRonin said...

Does any Dallas Bronies think we could meet up at A-Kon?

http://a-kon.com/

If someone would like to start that email me at KaiyaJude@hotmail.com

nova_25 said...

Anyone from the Region of Quebec (Canada) ?

Purple Tinker said...

No DC chapter yet. Sounds like there are several DFW bronies? Would anypony with a few dozen bucks to pony up care to email me for instructions on starting a DFW meetup group on the cheap?

FasterThenRainbows said...

Seattle? Would love to! If I could go....

MaskedRonin said...

@Purple TinkerI will hope you if I can but I'm a very poor brony =(

Anonymous said...

What happened to the Otakon meet-up?

Purple Tinker said...

@Anonymous Re: the idea of a meet-up at a con: Patience. I am talking to Blog Brony via opening a dialogue with the brony community to determine which con[s] would have the most support for a 'brony track' or at least a brony meetup.

Anonymous said...

"Seatack"?

Why not "Seaddle"?

Purple Tinker said...

@Anonymous

Because that would neglect Tackoma. :)

You can't have SeaTack without both of 'em.

TsukiSama87 said...

Damn! We need to get an Atlanta meetup going! There is Seishun(sp) Con coming up.

Anonymous said...

What is the point of these meet ups? To see what people who share a similar with you look like?

Purple Tinker said...

@Anonymous

The point of these meetups is that friendship is magic.

9Nine9 said...

NOT NEAR IOWA

WAAAAAAAAH *cryingface*

Purple Tinker said...

Anypony else in or near Iowa?

hawkysu said...

@AnonymousI approve of these.

Not that I could probably make one :<

9Nine9 said...

no don't count me, there's no way I'd be able to attend even if it was an hour away from my city...

Anonymous said...

Otakon is one of the biggest conventions, it'd be silly not to have a meet-up here. I would be willing to help out with absolute anything if needed, I live close to where its held.

Putuk said...

IN AMERICA!
Confound living in Europe!

Anonymous said...

I wish we could do a Brony meet up in Europe. Preferably somewhere in Middle-Europe.

Imbaer said...

Austrian here. A Middle European group would be nice :).

Heavy Weapons Pony said...

Im not even in the US so meh.

But I wish that you all have some really great times :D

Steve Holt said...

Coltifornia representin'

Sent an email out, here's hoping we can get an LA meetup rolling.

Mithent said...

I hope we can get something organised in the UK, myself.

ZavCoyote said...

Sweden never gets any love :(

hawkysu said...

Oooh! I'll be in Romania for part of summer!

Again, not sure if I could do any meet-ups though :<

SonicBrawler1992 said...

@ZavCoyote

Join us in Norway, with Desucon in Oslo :D

Wing0002 said...

I AM GAME FOR Sea-Tac area, WOOT \(^ÏŽ^)/

Purple Tinker said...

Talk to RoyGBiv! He's the SeaTack meetup leader.

Wing0002 said...

@Purple Tinker i do not see a link here at Equestria Daily for RoyGBiv SeaTack meet up ??? sorry to bother you

Purple Tinker said...

@Wing0002

Hi Wing! Email me; I'll get you in touch with him. prpltnkr @ gmail dot com

San Diego!!

Will said...

FYI: Its Tacoma, not Tecoma.

...Not that I care much, but the people down there are creepy and I do not want to make them angry. :P

nova_25 said...

Seems like there's NO bronies/fan of MLP:FiM in Quebec ? ...or in Canada, for what it matters... ?

Anonymous said...

This is one of those instances where I'd love to have a reason to hang out with new people but feel like this might be a bit, yea previous anon said it best, awkward.

You guys making sure everyone is around the same age and what have you?

Kujiiro said...

I do agree with a few others that there's a good chance of this turning awkward. But you never know if you don't try, so in the meantime it's an awesome idea!

I, unfortunately, can't make it to a con unless it's in walking distance. And for a ponycon, incognito xD

Bejoty said...

I have no doubt there will be awkward moments, at least at the start, but I've been to enough of these sort of gatherings to know that by the end of it all, everyone has made at least a couple new friends and things become a LOT more comfortable.

Purple Tinker said...

What Bejoty said. I've been to furry cons (two of 'em), and while there are definitely some awkward moments-- and awkward people-- in the end, good times are had.

And yeah, we're making sure only adults sign up for the groups. Any kiddies will be cheerily turned away. :)

New Yoke City would have been a better pun.

@nova_25From QUEBEC HERE! Dunno if you will be seeing this but on google it is quite obvious on this site.^^;

My boyfriend and I would attend a central Florida meet up if one was held. There are lots of places in Orlando.

I wish I was anywhere near vancouver. there are only three bronies within a 75km vicinity of Kamloops that I know of. We all live within Kamloops itself, though. Any bronies in Kamloops that we don't know about?

Andrew Harrison said...

@TheOutcastsofIre Have a late reply! I live in Kamloops >:D

Unknown said...
