    Ask the Ponies

    Copy Paste:
    Basically, we interview artists who own ask blogs on tumblr (like Ask Surprise, Ask Princess Molestia, Ask the Pie Sisters, etc...) for around 20-30 minutes asking them about their ask blogs/art, questions about the brony fandom, and take in community questions via our tumblr page.

    We tend to interview at least 1 artist per week and upload our interviews every Sunday. We currently have an interview with Ask Filly Twilight in the works.

    Diamond Dogs Podcast: MrPoniator

    Copy Paste:
    Recently, we'd interviewed MrPoniator (A very famous animator within the community) and have finally gotten it all nice and shiny! I hope that you will consider posting this to your site, for I feel not only is it educational, but you also get to listen to a Finnish accent.

    I mean you also get some insight on an animator in the community.

    Successful Meetups

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Gainesville Meetup

    Copy Paste:
    We recently had a very successful meetup for the Facebook group Bronies of Gainesville, FL and Beyond. About 20 people participated. We met in a park at noon on Saturday and had an MLP trivia competition. We ate cupcakes and pie and showed off the plushies, customized figures and other items we had made. After several hours we left for McDonalds to acquire Pony figures. We then stocked up on paint and went to paint ponies on the 34th Street Wall, a long cement wall where graffiti is permitted. Finishing our masterpiece well after sunset, we went to a nearby restaurant for dinner then watched the new episode on a laptop outside. After a long day of Pony we adjourned our meeting at about 11 P.M.

    More pictures are posted here. The "Obey Celestia" image is originally by Equestria-Election, but everyone probably knows that already.

    German National Meetup

    Copy Paste:

    We where round about 85 bronies from all over Germany. We started the meeting at Frankfurt/Main Main Station while waiting for some delayed bronies. We had fun while playing pony music over a megaphone. When we were complete, we did a city tour to get our group photo and buy some delicious cupcakes.

    Then we had to split in two groups because our selected location wasn't big enough for all bronies (we only calculated with 50 bronies attending). So some of us went shopping in Frankfurt, but the main part of the group went to a little cottage in Taunusstein.

    There two of our members tried to cook for 54 bronies in a little kitchen. It was the horror! But also fun.
    We lit a little campfire and had a lot of fun. We watched the new episode a LCD projector, sung some songs and had a little tombola where you could win some blindbags or hand drawn pictures.

    After a night without much sleep we had breakfast and then we departed - all in different directions.

    Medicine Hat Meetup


    Copy Paste:
    I am happy to announce that attendance has grown from
    eight people to eleven since I last reported, and managed to get a photo
    of us together before we all left. We met at Buffet Medicine Hat and then
    proceeded to talk. There were plenty of new faces and some old ones. We
    showed our ponies, ate, and talked, and just had a good time. Even though
    it was only one hour, we enjoyed ourselves greatly.

    Vegas Park Meetup

    Copy Paste:

    It all began at 1:30pm when we had about 12 people. Those first few people got to participate in the blind bag hunt. I had hidden blind bags in a section of the park for people to find. Eventually more people showed up (we ended up with about 40 bronies in all) and we chatted, played, music, ate snacks, and had an all around good time.

    When our other Co-Leader of the event showed up, me and him busted out the gift. A giant cake the bakery I worked at made. It was so awesome and delicious. It was eaten in 10 seconds flat. (After many pictures taken of course.)
    We then moved to LaserQuest. LaserQuest I assume was fun for everyone.  Afterwards some got subs at firehouse subs and others raided McDonalds of all the pony toys. We then all met a McDonalds and talked and had a good cheer till we all went our seperate ways.

    It was a very excellent day.
