Brony Meetups and the New York BronyCon

The coming months are jam packed with enough pony to satisfy just about anyone.  With season 2 less than a month away, the community as a whole is only going to get larger.  That's where meetups come in!

We didn't really have stuff like this a year ago.  The only social experience available was on our various message boards/chans across the internet.

I'm pretty excited about the prospects of watching a new episode and seeing all the reactions in person for once.  So much so that I already booked a flight to New York for BronyCon, which takes place right on top of Episode two. 

But for those of you not going, be sure to check out the Bronies meetup map; here's a list of changes made since the last update.

And as always, you can find the map with clickable information here:  www.bronies.com.

Albany, NY (new, upcoming meetup!)
Albuquerque, NM (coming soon!)
Boise, ID (coming soon!)
Buffalo, NY (coming soon!)

ASIA/PACIFIC:

EUROPE:

Whew! That was a lot of work. Sorry it took me so long!

Hoping to see everypony at BroNYCon September (featuring Director Jayson Thiessen!),

Greenf0x said...

ooohh, gonna have to see when this long island one is.

Pony Corp - Ren said...

Do I spy a northern Utah meetup?
I. AM. THERE.

Octavia said...

I so wish I could attend Bronycon. But I'm afraid that's pretty unlikely to happen. Sad Octavia is sad.

There's really so many Brony meets starting up. It's quite cool. Though there doesn't seem to be any around where I'm planning to move to. All the more reason for me to start one of my own though. If there's enough Bronies around to attend it anyway. I had so much fun at Chef Sandy's in Dallas I'd love to attend more Brony meets.

BlankFlankBrony said...

@Trollestia, welcome to my world. Closest one for me is about 300 miles away.

Drazla said...

Aw. Never any Swedish ones. Never.

Molestia said...

Fuck yes on Texas meetups.

vteck9 said...

Finally someplace within an hour of me!
To bad I cannot drive yet or I would go. :(
At least I know now.

bronydash said...

Northern Utah? Sweet, I was afraid I would have to go down to Salt Lake?

TenchiFreak5 said...

Buffalo!

The Albany one is just a bit too far out of the way, but I can get to Buffalo.

Purple Tinker said...

Remember, you can always start a new group. Every one of those stars began with a pony with the drive and ambition to start a group!

Select Few said...

Yeah! There is one near me! I'll have to see if I can get a ride to it closer to time.
Err, when exactly are these meet-ups, anyways?

F.eather- said...

Holy shit. We are everywhere.

Xiagu said...

Hey, Washington DC isn't on the list. >:|

We just had one this weekend! We're trying to put something together for September right now.

bronydash said...

Crap, it is SLC. Still, very tempting.

Haybuck said...

Yeehaw! I'll be at BroNYcon.

Streek471 said...

Spokane needs one...

Purple Tinker said...

The list of cities above isn't a complete list of cities with upcoming meetups. It's a list of things I changed/added on the map.

jet2112112 said...

*Sees it at Nashville Tennessee* OMFG YES! YES!!! HNNNNGG!!!! I'LL DEFINELY BE THERE!!!! :D *Passes out from awesome epicness*

Azarias said...

What, no mention of the one happening in Michigan at the detroit zoo on September 10th?

That's where I'm going.

Líadan Tyndall said...

Gragh, still no Ireland meetups. D':

Pony Corp - Ren said...

@bronydash
Yeah, sorry. I'm originally from southern UT, so pretty much anything north of Fillmore is what I consider Northern UT.

There is no central to me. Only north and south.

Flux Man said...

lovin' the new banner

Pony Corp - Ren said...

Completely unrelated, but does anybody else see that the letters in "Equestria Daily" can be rearranged into "Raised Equality?"

What do I win?

TGPFluttershy said...

I really love bronies.com. It's not every day you get to eat Ice Cream with Apple Cider and make jokes with him. The one at the Malibu Grand Prix is gonna be great!

TGPFluttershy said...

@Purple Tinker

So Tinker, is BroNYcon still gonna start at 10:00AM? I know I'll be standing in line when episode 2 will air for sure!

Flutterguy said...

Not a SiNGLE one in or near Montana where I live ;n;

Draze said...

@BlankFlankBrony

I see your 300 miles and raise you 700!

crispymwhc said...

Three hours to Green Bay, huh?

It. Is. ON.

MrDragon said...

Don't forget as well.

Meetups are also made and handled through the Rainbowdash.net site and it's forum forums.rainbowdash.com

Just throwing that out there, so that people know what they need to goto too get some information with each meetup.

(Forums are new and we only have one meetup really going atm, San Antonio)

Marf said...

Oh, hell yeah! Finally one in Boise, ID. I've been checking the map for a while for this...

(I'm a Fluttershy, so there's no way I was going to take the initiative to set one up)

colt classic said...

i wish my teacher was as awesome as cheerilee. and MAN, there is a lot of meet-ups going on.

zorinlynx said...

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I can't believe Season 2 is in less than a month, and BronyCon only a week after that!

SEPTEMBER WILL BE MONTH OF THE PONY!!!!

Fluffey said...

"Germany (coming soon!)"

Wohoo!~ <3

Nice to see that Bronys are almost everywhere. :)

FLCL3000 said...

hmm savanahs pretty far away

The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor said...

The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor laments that nothing is closer to Central Illinois, but is grateful that it is only a few hours away! Maybe He'll be able to go during a break or something! (Yeah right. The G&P Trevor is flat broke... Oh well. Maybe it'll move closer as time wears on! 8D)

Also, Trevor would like to argue that a certain Prof. one has is ALMOST as awesome as Cheerilee! Like, he would only need another 2%. He is THAT awesome! (But the G&P Trevor still laments not being able to have Prof. Cheerilee...)

Stargazer said...

I'd like to hit the BronyCon in NY, but I'm not suer if I could set things up fast enough and may not have enough money to support being able to go. I'm still a little low from Otakon sadly...

Seth, if you go be sure to take plenty of Pictures and possibly a video recorder would ya...

Sapphire said...

@Purple Tinker
Since I'm in the NY area. Do I have to pay to attend the meetup?

Sedaheht said...

Is that a star I spy on Winnipeg? Oh, no it isn't. :|

BronyPony said...

How dare you not specify a location for us midwest bronies! D: (JK)

Bligh said...

Still no atlantic Canada meetups. I am dissapoint.

SomeFrenchBrony said...

Oh my god....Brony meetup...in Paris...october, the 1st.

AWWWWWYEEAAAH !!!!

Epidehl said...

Might have to check out Bronycon, I can't get into NYC easily enough.

I also greatly look forward to any Long Island meetups!

Fritz X said...

@Fluffey

Great news indeed. Can't wait to see where some of the meetups are going to take place over here...

king.k said...

when is the meeting in Utah???

darksasami said...

How serious is this site about real names? I don't do the real name thing online, ever. Is it possible to get meetup info without it?

SoulSilver IV said...

There's no meetups showing up in London on the map, am I doing something wrong? D:

Fluttershy104 said...

how do you know the exact place to go? do they post a link or something? They're only giving general city locations :P

kelzae said...

That's a lot of meetups!
and
YES! a latin american mexican one! finally!

Also, I remember a brony from a past meetup post saying he/she was going to go to the "XXXIX Convencion de juegos de mesa y comics" at Monterrey but the post was too old for anybody to still watching the comments, so.. I am going there, you're not alone! :D

PinkieDash said...

Finally a place in Vegas lets get this manure shit started

Igor PhOeNiX_H said...

South American Brony meetup? Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh!

kibihascrashed said...

i...dont see a SoCal one :c

Gummy said...

@Xiagu I think we were on the last list. so this list is for ones that weren't on the last so i think thats why we arnt on it :P.

Purple Tinker said...

@kibihascrashed Go to the map. There's a LA group.

Purple Tinker said...

@Sapphire There is no locals discount. The cost of admission goes to [partially] cover the venue fee, food, prizes, and how much it costs to fly in Guests of Honour and pay for their hotel bills. Those all cost exactly the same for out-of-towners as for locals, I'm afraid.

Purple Tinker said...

@Xiagu This is a list of UPDATES ONLY. The complete list of meetup groups would be MUCH longer.

Liggliluff said...

@Drazla
You know what, should start a Group in Sweden too. But 2 people? Need to find more...
