"This is a little late, but here is a pic from the Hoosier Hooves Brony Society first ever meet-up/holiday party.  We are a relatively small group located in the Carmel and Westfield area of Indiana.  By small, I mean there are six of us total, one guy and and five gals.  Most of us knew one another before ponies, but we would love to find other brony-folks in our area.  If we were to be fortunate enough to get included in a nightly roundup (even as just a little note that we exist), I and the rest of my little herd would be absolutely ecstatic.  If  anypony  in our area would like to get in touch to see if we can work out a larger meet-up, I can be reached at this e-mail address (kalinnightmare@hotmail.com). "

"We had six bronies come to our impromptu meetup here in the Lehigh
Valley. We watched "Family Appreciation Day," played My Little
Pony:Trivia is Magic, and watched a bunch of PMVs. It was just a good
time of hanging out and chowing down on cupcakes. We have plans to
hold another meetup later on in the month, so stay tuned."

Seth, After Doing This For Two Days I Have Even More Respect For You Than I Already Did


When I first started watching ponies back in early January, I didn't really know what to expect. I'd seen it floating around and I thought it might be worth checking out, so, on a whim, I watched the first episode. Then the second. And so on until I'd seen everything that had aired up to that point. I was enthralled.

I hung around /co/ for a bit, and it wasn't long before I heard of a place called 'Equestria Daily'. I checked it out, and it seemed pretty neat. A nice way to keep up with the fandom. I bookmarked it immediately.

A month later, I found myself checking the website every single day, usually just keeping it open constantly in a tab. It had overcome every other pony site to be my prime source of news for the fandom. I had even begun sketching out an idea for a story I hoped to submit there one day.

And so it continued. Ponies became a larger and larger part of my free time, and it exposed me to music, styles of art and literature, and people that I never would have otherwise met. I attended a few meetups, tried my hand at making custom ponies, and, of course, watching the new episode religiously. I made some new friends that I treasure dearly and exercised my creativity for the first time in my life. I've had amazing experiences in the last year.

Throughout it all, I had Equestria Daily, which connected me to all kinds of things that I otherwise would have had overlooked.

That's why I wanted to become a blog author. I wanted to give something back.

So, thank you, Sethisto.

Thanks, Cereal, Phoe, Tek, and everyone else who works so hard every single day to keep the blog running.

Thanks for the most fun year of my life.

ombutescentdin said...

Lols were had this night.

DJ-Pinkamina said...

Portal 'n' ponies! Nothing better

Bombedrumbum said...

You know, PK, I think that a lot of people here feel like that. This place has given us things that we woupd never have known that we would love. And more.

Nymo said...

We love you PK <3

BananaPudding said...

d'aww at the end, I love this fandom

wackypony said...

PK, you're not alone. I have a headache too.

except it's mostly been caused by me raging at bronies for the past two hours.

Rainbow Smashly said...

Thatssssss a nice roundup ya got there!

BananaPudding said...

@BananaPuddingand of course equestria daily! it is my favorite blog in the world after all

airace said...

I'm amazed by the talent this fanbase has. Never ceases to inspire!

Steve Jobs said...

I can't believe I'm still awake.
Bronycon was embarrassing.

PK said...

The fact that my story is pretty typical just speaks to how many lives this blog has touched, as unlikely as it may seem.

naahdude said...

@Steve Jobs

It was actually going pretty well until some people decided to sing a song for Danny Ingram...

Bombedrumbum said...

@PK many. What you guys have done is literally phenominal.

wayne said...

I live in the Lehigh Valley....Y U NO LIST CONTACT INFO?

BananaPudding said...

@naahdude dear celestia that sounds horrible

Steve Jobs said...

@naahdude
Pretty much. From there on it became Autismcon 2012.
You could almost smell the cooked spaghetti.

LittleBrendon said...

My heart didn't expect that last part D:

karrotline said...

aw... my heart

and I loved that epic pie video

Brian Johnson said...

I have to say that the Twilight video matches the opening gif fairly well.

karrotline said...

lol what happened at bronycon?

showmetheblueprints said...

HOLY SHIT! The Epic Pie Time gif synchronizes with the TwilightSparkle.mp4 video.

Steve Jobs said...

@karrotline
Autism happened.

gillnavisingh said...

@wackypony Errm... I assume it's because of that whole thing with BroNYcon?

Misc. Brony said...

*sniff* That was beautiful, PK.

wackypony said...

@gillnavisingh

that, and people bitching about AJ not getting enough episodes because of that Dash episode that comes out AFTER TWO AJ EPISODES IN A ROW.

XyroTR1 said...

I can't echo what PK said loud enough. Everyone at EqD is awesome, thanks for continuing to be as such for so long.

Quite Quiet said...

Exactly when did BroNYcon go wild? Because what I saw from the livestream it was fine for the first half of it.

Now I wish even more I could have seen the rest :(

Big Ditzy said...

Best speech I've heard all day.

Infinion said...

why isn't the "We ♥ Ponies - My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Fan Favorites Mare-athon" post on the top?

Bombedrumbum said...

@Big Ditzy

Best Speech PERIOD.

Jay6 said...

I'm wondering why guys would dress up like the female characters. Leave that to the ladies of the fandom. And if you're Pinkie Pie, don't quote Cupcakes. Just no. (gag) The Applebloom was cute though, but she's way too young to be there.

I missed out on a LOT of the convention, which I wish I could have seen the voice actress panel (stupid work), and the music panel. I didn't miss out on Fighting is Magic though. Seeing what I saw just makes me want it more ;_;

By the way, Tarby didn't play? I was looking forward to Something Broke live performed...

Infinion said...

i thought it was stickied so everypony knows about it

ThunderIce said...

What did happen at BroNYcon? I watched the livestream till around the Epic Pie Video and everything seemed fine. Or is this about that At The Gala thing?

LittleJoeRambler said...

Argh, I'm too far from the Carmel/Westfield area to be able to reliably be able to travel there from little ole Mishawaka, IN. Ah well, perhaps I'll start looking for people closer to me.

Kyronea said...

Aw...we love you, PK! You're such a hard worker! Keep up the great work.

Senior Waffles said...

*Puts on "Sweet Child o' Mine*
*Goes to EQD to check for Nightly Roundup*
*Sees header for it*
Life is good.

Huundee said...

@Senior Waffles i was listening to GN'R when i saw that too!

Beatfox said...

I thought the "At The Gala" performance was a really sweet gesture towards Daniel. It takes guts to stand up in front of everyone and do something like that, especially if you don't have much prior singing experience. But it was heartfelt, and Daniel recognized and visibly appreciated that.

Mac3030 said...

That speech, bravo!

cornllama said...

Tell Seth I hope he feels better!

kwj said...

I think many of us feel that way PK
also may I ask what the hell happened at the bronycon? and can someone give a detailed answer?

aki1993 said...

dont, worry PK ur not the only on e continually watching that twilight video XD

"Throughout it all, I had Equestria Daily, which connected me to all kinds of things that I otherwise would have had overlooked" same here!!

and about bronycon, (i watched the stream) after they tried to sing for Danny Ingram, then i was just....eehhh..

PK said...

@Senior Waffles

one of my favorite songs, that is.

SpanglePony said...

Wow, this was a great roundup. I certainly got my minimal dosage of pony for the night...well time to go find more pony stuff. I did say "minimal" as opposed to "maximum" did I not? ;)

aki1993 said...

@Jay6
yeah it was a lil odd seeing that dude dressed as pinkie pie, then he had to make it worse and quote cupcakes!!

Porcupine said...

I think everypony respects Equestria Daily. It's probably the one thing that keeps the fandom together. We owe a lot to EqD.

Sapare said...

What was so bad about BroNYcon? Watched the livestream from that song till end of acution nothing really was THAT bad for people to be whining so much.

But at any case, @Steve Jobs, you just used autism as an insult and I sure as heck hope you and every other pony will refrain from doing so again. Have you forgotten what this fandom stands for? Because stupid remarks like that is certainly not it.

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

Ponies... what more needs to be said?

Sapare said...

Now to the more pleasant things. PK, epic speech and I agree so much. EQD is probably the most important webpage(other then YT?) for this fandom and thankyou toward Seth and co for running it.

Great respect to all of you, and let us continue with our quest for love and tolerance.

Beatfox said...

As an addendum to my previous post, I should point out that something similar took place within the Homestuck fandom (which also has a very large internet presence) several months back. A large group of fans serenaded Andrew Hussie, the creator, with their acapella rendition of "How Do I Live" (it ties into the Homestuck story) at a convention. It was recorded and posted to YouTube, and there were a lot of Homestuck fans on the internet who voiced their disgust at such an "embarrassing" and "autistic" display making their fandom "look bad". But Andrew made clear that he genuinely enjoyed the performance. He knew that the quality (or lack thereof) of the act was of far less importance than the motivation behind it. It was their way of saying "thank you" to him, and he really appreciated that.

wackypony said...

@Sapare

nothing about bronycon itself.

just fucktarded bronies taking it as canon that Rarity is best pony simply cause the VAs were nice to Rarity's VA.

or that is how i understand it. I slept through the entire thing.

Chroma Monster said...

@wackypony

Calm down bro, its a joke.

gillnavisingh said...

@Sapare He can't hear you, he's dead.

Sapare said...

@wackypony
That sounds really not serious and more like a joke.. if people get that mad about such a statement then they make me sad. (I dont hate or like Rarity all that much, I am neutral toward this)

aki1993 said...

@Sapare it wasnt just god awful, (definatly not autism, thats just over board) or notin, i mean i watched it till the end, but just had a little screw up at the song for danny, but they did they're best, and thats all that matters!

i thought the rarity and pinkie pie voices did good!

Beatfox said...

@wackypony
Pretty sure most everyone in the fandom plays along with the whole "best pony" thing as one big running joke. Anyone who sees it as something of greater importance than that is doing it wrong.

GodBlogger247 said...

..... I think I know why the Twilight video is addicting.
the music.
As for the Manliest Brony......
*Dies after laughing for 72 hours*

Cátsy said...

Who drank the Arrogant Trixie Ale? someone needs to mass produce it IMMEDIATELY because I now want to become drunk on Root beer! how much was it? $125 a bottle you say? SJUST SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"

Holy pinata's Mare-do-well, dat edible-lickable-all too sugary Pinkie Pie sold for SIX HUNDRED! xD also WOW THAT RARITY rag sold for HOW MUCH?! I think I'm gonna die xD 375'ish? Man I so wanted that TF2 Twilight Sniper to sell for more! Also I TOTALLY called it! xD DJ P0n3 was gonna be best pony that auction xD god I wonder if the glasses were removable and iif the eyes were RED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I COULDN'T GO THIS YEAR! I WILL TOTALLY BE THERE NEXT YEAR!

BEST. DAY EVER!. THANKS FOR THE LIVESTREAM EVERFREE RADIO!


Seth you should of had more of a presence down there we totally didnt hear or see you during any of the main events!

Ben Gibson said...

Was ashleigh ball there? if so i totally wish i was there...

Commodore Z said...

Group bro-hug, all around. One of the best days in MLP fandom has now drawn to a close.

Brony_TreborLnP said...

Can't wait for videos of the VA panel on Youtube! I watched the beginning, but I had to leave! :(

Gypsy said...

sjzjsnebricuxe

yup

Celestia said...

Well, came expecting my usual "News is nice" comment, looks like I had better comment on some of this.

The GlaDOS video was great, she can't have Twilight, even if there is possible cake. Besides, Pinkie stands a better chance with her Pinkie sense and reality bending powers.

That Sparkle.ex video, i'm nt sure what it is but it's addicting.

Manliest brony was a little odd, but good.

The ending note is very nice, very well done to everyone who contributes here, they all deserve it.

This fandom is great, a little silly sometimes, but great.

Oh and that title gif is awesome.

Beatfox said...

@Ben Gibson
Ashleigh Ball, Andrea Libman, and Nicole Oliver were all there. They participated in an awesome panel - it's up on YouTube.

richfiles said...

Luna... I LOVE your night! I know cause I've been up to witnes two whole ones IN A ROW!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I have had a 2 hour nap sometimr between now and yesterday, yeasterday morning at 10:30 AM.

richfiles said...

HORRSE APPLES!

That post was suopsta be about TWILIGHT VID!!!

WOOOOOPOOOOOOOOOO WEE is she adicting!!!

PurplePony said...

@PK I just read the roundup, and I was very touched by your post at the end. I'm a fairly new brony (maybe like 2.5 months) and I've been on EqD for about 2 weeks. I love this site. I also recently experienced my first fan-fic rejection (lol) but I have another that I plan to write... after I catch up on calculus... confound these ponies and their cuteness.

richfiles said...

Calculator says 41.75 hours awake, with only a 2 hour nap between there somewhere! LOL! I'm Bucked in the mbrain!

richfiles said...

Also I teared up a bit when I read that ending part... I know this should be one big post, and not 4 little posts, but for some werid resaon, I have some attentoion span problems

James Corck said...

That feels close to home PK. Great ending, and great Round-Up.

Kane said...

I'm touched by the ending.

I think I visit this site more often than any other site on the internet. I can only think of Google as the other site I check first thing every day. Thank you all for keeping the party running. Don't know what I'd have done without you guys.

Cheers.

Masquerade said...

Cheers, PK. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Belgarath said...

the music is called catgroove by Parov Stelar in case anyone is curious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twqM56f_cVo

Johuotar said...

Oh man Parov Stelar Cagroove, dat some epic **** youve got 'ere...

Ponies and Catgroove? My drugs are combined into megadrug that will keep we awake for weeks.

Ten said...

Beautiful ending, and you hit the nail on the head there PK. As a newish brony (1 month or so) if it wasn't for EQD and all the commitment and passion that is put into this website by everypony I wouldn't have seen how creative and just plain awesome this fan base is and gotten so into the show as I have now.
So thank you for all the hard work you all do :)
Much love x

BurntBacon8r said...

PM: I had an incredibly similar.experience, as have so many Bronies I know..I just wish that my family.could undrrstand just how.powerful this.community is.

CityFlyer502 said...

The past six weeks have been nothing less than the most amazing ride of my life. I never thought one show could bond so many people together and inspire so much talent. And after yesterday, I have no doubt that we are one incredible fandom. And it's because of all of us that take the time to contribute what we have, however little it is. So thanks to everyone here at EQD for doing an amazing job keeping this site running, and every one of you simply for being here. Who knows what the next few weeks will bring, but if the past is any indication, it's going to be so awesome!

Travis Smith said...

I really hate my mobile now, I hat a very nice comment, but the thing jumped to another page, and when you jump back it won't publish your comment so you have to start over by reloading.

In a nut shell again.
Great job PK, good to know we both share a tab on this site and we have fics we want to send in. Do tell Seth I have decided not to overthrow him .
Good to see the Windegos getting some love, I feel so alone being the only fan.
Sniper was really good.

PK keep your hopes and dreams alive

Pegasus Rescue Brigade said...

There was a brony meetup in the Lehigh Valley PA?

Was this announced on EQD or anything? I totally would have gone if I'd known it existed!

Masem said...

As people start coming back from Bronycon, I again ask that if you have good headshots of the VAs, we *really* could use them for en.wiki (not only for the MLP page but for the individual actresses as well).

If you do have such, please let me know, I'll let you know how to get them in a form we can use at WP.

ElectricZoNe said...

That GLaDOS reading and that Twilight gif are amazing!

PinkMenace said...

I'm the Fat one in the blue shirt.
I was SOOOO Close to winning trivia. I had like a 2000 point lead half the game.
But I foalishly thought Butch Hartman and Crag Mccrackin were the same person. *face punch*

Rock on.

Abotosa said...

Whoa, whoa, whoa... There was an Indiana meetup?! Curses, why must I be a car-less college student in Fort Wayne!

Bellum_Civille said...

And I've been listening to TwilightSparkle.mp4 for at least an hour.

Takino said...

PK, Most fun year of your life so far, you mean. 2012 is definitely gonna be our year.

Senior Waffles said...

Huzzah! The Great and Powerful PK approves my musical taste! Sweet Child O' Mine is definitely one of my top 5, but I can't decide in which order.

You Shook Me All Night Long - ACDC
I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness
Feeling This - Blink 182
Two Tickets to Paradise - Eddie Money

cardshark78 said...

I never like reading when I as young (except the newspaper and tech magazines), but when I discovered this fine site back in October, I was hooked on this site ever since. The art, the literature from not only this site but another site know as fimfiction.net, I am reading these fan fics more than I watch TV (except for The Hub). Seth and PK does do a great job with this fine site, and look forward to enjoying more art and fan fics for years to come.

DashAttack said...

Sorry, what was in the roundup? I'm distracted by the headbanging .gif that I've wanted so badly since yesterday.

Fluffy said...

If you have a headache, why in Equestria would you post that .gif? It's giving me a migraine, and I'm not even prone to that sort of thing!

SuperSonik said...

@Cátsy

SuperSonik here, Braeburn and I split the $250 auction for the two...erm...root beers.

I drank it last night, and it was the MOST AWESOME beverage of a refreshing nature I've had. IIRC, Seth got one as well.
