FreezingShock said...

Let's hope it's not like the live show in any way.

Select Few said...

Laurence Brown said...

And the picture for the My Little Pony parade is... a transformer?? Am I seeing that correctly?! What the HAY?!!

kwj said...

>Pony parade
>Transformers picture
Wat?

Mike said...

well that's ... strange... There's a picture there but it's certainly not Pinkie Pie

Heartmend said...

The Transformer picture sure doesn't lend much credibility to this...

Thunder Daniel said...

Guys, obviously they have accepted the undeniable Masculinity of this show XD

sevooHypreD said...

Look out! Look out!

@sevooHypreD

This reference? Is it what I think it is?

Errick said...

I predict those hideous repurposed live show shells.

Pnk xmewmewx said...

SABronies is hoping to hold a meetup there! CHeck us out here: http://www.meetup.com/San-Antonio-Bronies/events/50205422/

Kyle said...

San Antonio Bronies are going to canter out along at this event and a have a great time even if this parade is weak...or even worse, G3!

Kaijyuu said...

Let's hope the costumes aren't horrid abominations.

Assuming there's costumes.


Actually I have no idea what to expect for a parade with ponies in it.

Criminal9021 said...

Shut up, we already know this is what everyone's thinking about.

Oh god... why...?

Bunnay said...

I live in Illinois...

...**** it I'm going.

Tenaris said...

@Criminal9021
Because it was for the children and they love the live action performances.

Select Few said...

"Alright, let's check that site for ticket prices."
*2 minutes later*
"$30 a person?! Well, it is for ponies... Let's see... 5 people at $30 each..."
Sorry, ponies. I'm broke, and so I have failed you.

Tech-Tonic said...

I wonder if there just going to paint up some ponies? Wouldn't that count as animal cruelty?

Michael Butcher said...

San Antonio is a six hour drive... nah

MizuTakishima said...

oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!!!

/mostly looking forward to youtube videos of this

Nitrouspony said...

wow, I live in San Antonio. Well it looks like my weekend next week has just been planned for me!

YASM said...

Let's just they didn't just kidnap Fluttershy and is curently treating her like a circus freak with everyone throwing peanuts at her.

... What did I just type?

Haku1013 said...

I have never felt happier to Live on San Antonio

Nekomancer said...

Lol MLP and then a picture of transformers......

Clifford Brony said...

I'll be at tmea in san antonio at the same time! id love to see it but probably wont be able to...

TDR said...

@Tech-Tonic

Depends on the sort of paint used. There are certain types safe for animals that are sold in pet stores around halloween. It washes off fairly easy and tends to be non toxic.[Sometimes haveing connections to humansociety,animal control and wildlife rehabilitation agents pays off. ] I would rather it be painted ponies than pony suits.

Kyle said...

@Select Few

Well it looks like if you buy online you get two adult tickets for $30 and that comes with some free children tickets as well. So it is essentially $15 each for an even-numbered group and even less if you have children in that group.

Floyd said...

This can only end badly

Present Perfect said...

I'm just glad it specified "My Little", because that's not what I thought of first upon hearing the phrase "pony parade". c.c

Howdy said...

Hrm, having a picture of Prime instead of any ponies sounds like it's just a play on words and the 'pony parade' won't have any relation to My Little Pony...

...Definitely something the Flim Flam Brothers would try to pull off.

Caboose said...

The My Little Pony Parade, featuring everyone's favourite pony, Optimus Prime!

At the very least, they're from the same company...

ConfusedBrony said...

*Recalls live show* No... NO... NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

MudPuppy said...

Well, hate to go a spoil everyone's fun, but this is something I REALLY would not support at all. Circuses are sort of notorious for animal abuse, and Ringling is well know for it's abuse of elephants especially:

http://www.humanesociety.org/news/press_releases/2009/02/ringling_brothers_stands_trial_for_elephant_abuse_020209.html

Just look it up on YouTube and other sites too: Ringling aren't the only idiots who do this kind of stuff.

First time I went to a circus was also my last, as it was pretty sickening to see a chained elephant sitting around outside, really not looking very good.

Don't really know too much about how they treat ponies at circuses, but I have seen pony 'carousels', and while I can't outright say it was abuse, I doubt the ponies enjoyed standing all day tied up around a 'carousel', with random kids jumping on their backs all the time. I wouldn't know, and I can't say I know what a 'pony parade' is either (maybe it's not even real ponies??).

Dunno about you guys, but I sure as heck wouldn't support a place that just happened to have the biggest fine for animal abuse in circus history. :P

MudPuppy said...

^ Wait, why did I think this was about Ringling?? /facehoof Well, I dunno about Piccadilly, but ANY circus with animals, especially elephants, tends to have at least some animal abuse going on, so it's probably not much better.

iloveMLP said...

ponies as in actually ponies?

Ten said...

What the hay? I didn't know Optimus Prime was a pony :O

Pyrobug said...

This is gonna be awes*liveshowliveshowliveshow* ... ._. I'll be in my corner.

Hobnob165 said...

Am I the only one who thought they were talking about Picadilly Circus in London?

David said...

"Elephant Extravaganza"

PASS.

Not going to give money to animal abusers.

Ponybro7 said...

My Little Pony via Circus Parade? That's a good sign. :)

septicartblogger said...

Play the Parasprite Song and I will travel!

Akirasip said...

Now, how to get to San Antonio...?

MasterContinuum said...

Why is Texas the *pun* -HUB- of all things pony related?

Sturs said...

> sees mention of "Piccadilly Circus"

Oh boy! That's on my continent!

> noticed the "San Antonio"

WHY?



Though given the distinct lack of actual adorable brightly-coloured equines on the poster in combination with the comments so far, I can't help but get the impression that I won't be missing much. :B

Octavia said...

Aww, too bad I don't live down in Texas anymore. Though I believe San Antonio was a good ways away from me anyway. Can't say it's the first pony parade I've seen, but still sounds like fun.

Toonicorn said...

@TDR

Anyone remember the Horse of a Different Color in the Wizard of Oz movie? I read that the MGM prop people used some kind of harmless non-toxic colored Jello to make the horse yellow, then red, and then purple. Hopefully the Ringling crew, if it does actually paint their ponies, uses something equally as harmless. (Pinkie Pie voice) And as yummy!

Blueberry said...

Time to beg my parents to let me go to a city that's just 3 hours away, just for this.


Because ponies are the BEST reason to go.

Topyka said...

San Antonio? ~WOOHOO

Topyka said...

San Antonio? ~WOOHOO

smith0211 said...

My brother is in Lackland AFB. I should call him up and tell him to go to this. :)

Destroyer said...

Yay San Antonio is only 2 1/2 hours away.... Too bad I'm not old enough to drive. I can always walk! Now to start packing... This better not dissapoint! Also Optimus Prime is now a pony!!!

O'Brony said...

My reaction: OMFG, a Pony Parade in London? Squee!

... oh. OK.

hyreia said...

Someone in San Antonio, please go figure out what the hay this is supposed to be. I'm confused. Video optional.

thatonepony said...

Because I live in Texas, my first thought was that I had to go to this. Then I realized that I want nothing to do with the next "Brony Pizza Hunt."

Mr Bronc said...

its also in Killeen Texas... im just saying.

Kagemaru6613 said...

@Criminal9021
I... I'd never seen that video before...


Why... for the love of Celestia, why?
I can't... it doesn't... I... noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
