Nothing in Anaheim yet, bronies?

For shame.

I probably wouldn't go though anyway. Too much stuff do do in May.

Chessie2003 said...

*crossing fingers*
Come on Ohio!

Zarkanorf said...

@Vopogon
Agreed on "needs moar Anaheim".

ToonNinja said...

My schedule is packed like hell. It'd be nice to meet some So Cal bronies, though.

Anonymous said...

Where the 'querquians at?

ToonNinja said...

@Vopogon
Looks like I should've waited a second. Not quite in Anaheim, but that works just fine!

Anonymous said...

Seeing as Anime Central is this weekend, does anyone know if a date / time / place was ever set up for a Broni meet up? A couple friends and I are gonna be there and were interested.

ZAquanimus said...

Sent in info about the NYC Brony meetup

Saurian said...

I should really get out of Alaska, if only so I could find some bronies to hangout with.

There are NONE here.

Any Fanime meetups?

Anyone interested in a Brony meetup near Boston? I'm checking interest and brainstorming over here: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/pony/res/2491956.html

sumofl said...

@Sandman

I'll be going to Metrocon all three days along with a few other Brony friends, it's be great to talk. We'll be marauding around as Fallout-esque Apocolypse survivors.

Anonymous said...

My idea of a meetup would be hanging out with madmax for a little bit, maybe go for a drink. It'd be sweet! And I'm pretty sure we live fairly close to each other.

@Saurian

I bet all my bits that you're in Anchorage.

Marebanks here.

Aquaman52 said...

Thank God I go to school with a good number of bronies.

Otherwise, I might be slightly annoying by the fact that I don't think any fan convention has ever come to Virginia in the history of forever. -.-

Anonymous said...

AZ bronies?

A1CZERO said...

I don't see Florida ever making the list.
/sadface =(

JTHOR said...

Just to give a heads up, bronyjthor@gmail.com is for the meetup for A-Kon. Also if anyone has any questions or would just like to help, just send me a E-mail ^^

JTHOR said...

@Anonymous

The meetup I'm hosting is in Texas, so no need to be down Brony ^^

Sandman said...

@sumofl I've had an idea of a costume, I'm thinking about going as Anonymous, green bodysuit, black suit and wearing my Rainbow Dash cutie mark pin on the lapel. What do you think?

lifegospel said...

*prays someone sets up something for Calgary,*

Delc17 said...

I'd host one at E3 if I could. Los angeles, june 7, in between both halls inside

sumofl said...

@Sandman

Sounds pretty cool Sandman, pretty damned cool.

I've sent an email to the contact above regarding Metrocon, but I'll repost down here...

I'll try to be at the front entrance with a group of 4 other Fallout-esque Apocalypse Survivors around 1:00 PM each day of Metro.

I'll be wearing a Tan Trench coat.

sumofl said...

@A1CZERO

Metrocon, June 17-18 Tampa Convention Center.

Sandman said...

@sumofl Thanks, I figured it might be appropriate with how many of us came from the home of Anonymous, 4chan.

Saurian said...

@Anonymous

Anchorage Indeed. Trying to find a brony here is worse then a needle in a haystack. Marebanks fair better?

Kanamai/Darkly Cute/PinFilly said...

I will be at ACEN all weekend! I have an art table. So bronies stop by and say hi! I will have my pony toys on my table and prolly some pony music playing.

Anonymous said...

I'd love a good ol' Georgia meetup. Although....to my knowledge...there aren't many bronies around south Georgia D:

ACEN is in Chicago! Well Rosemont, but still Chicago.

Platina said...

Hopin' to FINALLY find some canadian bronies! ;u;

Zurkoslat said...

What we need is a interactive map so bronies can see who is interested/where meet ups are,ect.
Maybe like the brony locator a while back.

Theokid said...

We just had one in Portland, OR, should be another in june last I heard

Ryan said...

could we get a meet up near San Diego, or the LA area, that be best for me, my friend and i are the only bronies weve found anywhere in our school, and believe me, we tried

Nyerpy said...

FANIME GOERS:

Look for a guy with a shirt that says "Brony for Life" (Or even just the word "Brony").

Because that will be me.

And hugs will be readily available for fillies and gentlecolts alike. BD

I'm hoping a time is set up for Fanime in San Jose, I'm going to that.

Anonymous said...

My birthday is the 22nd, and it'd be pretty awesome having a brony meetup to celebrate.
Then again, I feel like the only one in Nevada, let alone in Reno, so I won't hold my breath.

fluttershypony said...

still none in PA, love one in the Pittsburgh area.


if anypony could make that happen?

Duskfly said...

I don't see AZ. But I wouldn't go either way......yea.

Moongaze said...

Huh...that's cool that one is going down in Chicago. Sucks that I can't go, I'd have to drag someone along with me to get off base, but there is no way in hell I'm revealing my pony fascination to anyone where I am at. >.>

If any of you are in the Tennessee area I suggest this place. http://www.equestriacuisine.com/

Yeah, that's right. A restaurant called Equestria. It's a bit pricey though.

Anonymous said...

I may live in Minnesota, but I'm not hauling my ass up to Toronto just to get some brony love. Somebody needs to set something up in the twin cities.

Jenny said...

@Ryan

SD Comic Con is coming up, so maybe bronies will be in town for that anyway? I'm coming from out of town and one of my goals for the convention is already to try to find some bronies.

If not during the convention (I hear it gets hectic), getting a group eating out for one of the evenings would be cool. Or just agree to wear Pony swag and try to group up at the Hasbro table.

Diamond Charm said...

Any Chicago Bronies who can't make it to Acen? Any Chicago bronies who CAN make it to Acen, looking for another get together to be part of? Just gauging here what kind of interest there would be in another Chicago get together, possibly at a restaurant...? Or some other neutral venue...? Or someone's home...?

Let's make it happen, I'm all flankhurt that I can't make it to the Acen.

Winston said...

We need a Texas meetup!

Ben said...

Darn, nothing for Otafest this weekend? (Calgary)

Scootaloops said...

@Kanamai/Darkly Cute/PinFilly

I will also be in Artists' Alley at ACEN! I'm helping a friend of mine at his booth. I just dyed my hair rainbow, so I shouldn't be too hard to find. XD

From reynard61:

@Anonymous

That's odd, because this Hoosier Brony lives in Indianapolis -- the capital -- and would *love* to attend (or possibly even host, if time and money permit) an informal get-together. Contact me: reynard(at)iquest(dot)net or my WordPress page.

(For some reason blogger.com won't let me use my LiveJournal login. GRRRRRRR!)

Detroit? Plz?

Ryan said...

@Jenny

yeah, i would love to meet up at comic con with ppl, but i know its gonna be difficult to just run into a few, i was hoping for an actual meetup sometime this or nect month, cause, SDCC seems to far away for the small chance of meeting ppl, though i do hopw it pics up in popularity to the point hasbro wises up, and has a presentation or special area just for bronies

JTHOR said...

@Winston

As I said earlier, I'm hosting a Texas one, and depending on the turnout I may be hosting several more in the future

There's a meet-up planned for the Otakon convention in Baltimore, but that's late July. The thread for it may still be up on Ponychan /chat/.

lesserpoet said...

Any Bronies in Innsbruck?

Anonymous said...

For any of the two Acen meetups, is there any more specifics?
Like it says Hyatt at six, but where in the Hyatt? Or the other one says the foyer, which to me is the giant area that leads to the sky walk that goes to the hotels from the convention center.

Anonymous said...

Fluttershypony, Anthrocon is coming to Pittsburgh in June. There will be furry bronies attending. Maybe I will organize a trip to the Warhol museum on the Thursday of the con.

That restaurant seems four star but also has farm animals and a peacock mascot named Meatball. It's like Rarity and Fluttershy got together opened their own place.
