Otakon Brony Meetup

Looks like someone over on ponychan is organizing a Brony Meetup for people at Otakon!  They usually have a pretty big 4chan following, so I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of people from the site will be there. 

Also he/she is offering free magnets and stickers, which is always fun. 

The convention is held from July 29-31 at the Baltimore Convention center. 

You can find more information below!

First Portland, now Baltimore. When will Atlanta get a meetup? I'd be willing to drive the five hours for one.

Otacon?

Snake?

Otacon. I've infiltrated the base.

Okay, what you'll have to do is make your way through the lower corridors to the main computer. There, you'll be able to upload the virus and stop these terrorists from holding Season 2 of My Little Pony Hostage.

Got it... Wait, "My Little Pony?" That's what this mission is about?

C'Mon, Snake, It's a good show!

Yeah, but I thought this was to stop some terrorists from Launching another Metal Gear! How are Ponies more important than that?!

Can you think of anything more important than saving the bonds of Friendship, Snake?

Well, Otakon is great in the sense of, it's not just anime. There's TONS of non-anime stuff there, in fact, Otakon is really just a Convention of STUFF. I don't think Legend of Zelda or Halo is anime, yet those are pretty popular there. It's actually really fun.

I would give anything to be able to go to a Stuff Convention and see a bunch of guys walking around in Derpy shirts.

@Zarkanorf

Well that's a really good thing for bronies like me who live on the opposite side of califoruneuh.
I hope I get to attend. =0

Well I'll be going, but what'll happen once we all meetup?
Discuss the show?

If that's what you want to do. It's more just to make some friends, hang out, go off, whatever. The entire group doesn't have to stay with each other the entire time.

Windchaser said...

Kanamai said...

Hrmmm maybe I should work on planning a meet up for ACEN in Chicago.

XiMao626 said...

Maybe people in Hawaii should do a Brony Meet up at our local Kawaii Kon...Otherwise most of us island folk are stuck never meeting other bronies.

Sandman said...

We need something down by Florida, I mean seriously, on the Big Damn Poll we were No.4 in brony population.

The Hero Dash said...

Possibly I'll be there

YAY FREE STICKERS AND MAGNETS FOR YOU

No, no, we must have one in an alternative pony dimension. Our powers of friendship will manifest themselves in creating and maintaining this dimension, along with teleporting ourselves there. Once there, we shall be 2D animated ponies.

In short, smoke a bunch of weed and pretend we met one another.

If I hadn't already pre-reg'd for Otakon I would be tonight. XDD.

I'm actually pretty glad this is going down. Makes me feel less bad for doing a thing on the west coast.

Unless you are actually already planning to got to Otakon, don't bother with the meet up. Its going to cost you a lot to get into the convention, get room, gas, and all. If you don't stay at one of the hotels around the convention center you're going to have a hell of a drive downtown with the rudest aggressive drivers you can find and will have to pay a lot to park.

I go to Otakon every single year, and it will be now 20% cooler with PONIES! Hopefully it will negate the annoying kids and the Hetalia fantards.

Putuk said...

"Otacon... what the hell?!"

Ok, now that I got that out of my system...
YAY FREE MAGNETS!
Only... on the other side of the globe...
Godamnit!

All the awesome stuff happens in America! Nothing ever happens here in Austria, this nerd-hating and geek-forsaken country!
Why did we move to Austria again? Oh, right, so paying for school...

Onsokumaru said...

Hmm, I might end up going this year too.

Triscy said...

I wish we could have a meetup at Anime Boston... I'm not going to Otakon.

Acoustic /B/rony said...

I was going anyway because Otakon 2010 was really fun, but this just makes me more excited for the con to finally arrive!

Strawberry Spice said...

@Triscy

Then do what I did, and organize one! :D

Michelle said...

i would go to an acen brony meetup

afterfriday said...

If anyone's going to Metrocon in June, I could organize a brony meetup there!

afterfriday said...

@Sandman

Metrocon's in Tampa, I'm pretty sure we could do something! I'm going already but a brony meetup would be sweet.
