  1. @arctempest !bcbronies Er, I just kinda went in a circle with my points there. Addendum: Planned well in advance, a really big meetup that's not quite on the same scale as Everfree could work very nicely as well, but just bear in mind the difficulty involved in planning all this. The simpler and the cheaper, the better it'll generally be, and the issue with Vancouver is that perhaps the simplest idea - some sort of outdoor thing like a picnic or barbecue or something - would be pretty damn hard to plan due to our weather patterns. Long story short, I'm sleepy and can't get my points across straight.

  2. @arctempest !bcbronies Yeah, that's the thing. EF is the entire large-scale northwestern Brony convention and compared to a lot of places people are coming from to attend, it's right at our back door. A "Bronycon Canada", as it would be, is pretty unrealistic, due to the crazy size of Canada, and any sort of central location would wind up being so much further away for lots of people than an equivalent US con would be. I suppose you can plan a very large-scale BC/Alberta/Yukon(?)/Washington(??) brony meetup/convention, it's just that with Everfree already having so much headway and being so close, it seems smarter to me to have more attendees save their money and just come to that one.

  3. @arctempest !bcbronies Yeah, like @tophat said, Everfree's your best bet. It's down in Seattle, which is quite convenient, considering the alternatives. It's also got an amazing planning committee and I think a really big BC-based Canada-wide meetup/festival/convention would just cannibalize attendees. Plenty of time before August to get a passport if you don't have one. And if you can't make it, then the best option's probably to meet with a lot of bronies at pre-existing conventions or to just go to any bigger-scale meetups we plan on here.

  5. @thepuzzldpirate !bcbronies Sorry if I sent that a balls-dton of times, it keeps giving me a server error.

  6. @thepuzzldpirate !bcbronies I've never read it but I've heard nothing but amazing stuff. I might be interested, but that could depend on the price. Also, how big a book would it be, do you think?

  12. @forestrain Heck, I don't even lurk, I just saw someone say my name.

  14. !bcbronies Hey! I looked carefully at the Nightly Roundup and some guys in Abbotsford are tryin' to have a meetup and they don't seem to know about this group. Let's let 'em know we exist, http://www.facebook.com/events/313676072015517/

  15. @tylendal !bcbronies I'm not saying I'll go to it, but it needs a name like "Bronies out for blood" or something else deceptively violent.

  16. @tequilasunrise !bcbronies Niiice. Never know where hidden bronies are gonna show up.

  17. @zimzap !bcbronies Where is it? I'd suggest using mlpf.im to shorten the URL.

  18. @echron1000 !bcbronies Yeah, what happened with that? My computer decided to stop notifying me on updates to this group right around that time and as far as I know, nothing really came of it. Maybe the best thing for right now (since we're in the heart of the school year) would be to plan a meetup at Fan Expo. It's a ways away, but it's major enough that I think we'll get some nice turnout.

  19. @echron1000 !bcbronies Sorry, it just seemed like you were saying how well your system was working to no one in particular. Point is, even if the Saturday ones are successful, even if it's for some reason the preferred day, many people can't attend, and there's no sense taking time off work for a small-scale casual meetup. Plan was always to have these weeklies but still have the occasional big meetups, and perhaps we should start planning the next longer-term large-scale meetup.

    Sunday, 26-Feb-12 22:09:45 UTC from web in context
  20. @echron1000 !vancouverbronies Yeah, no. I know many bronies who always have to work Saturdays (I'm one of them). From what I've seen, Friday and Saturday are the busiest days at pretty much any part-time jobs. Most bronies are students, and as such that's the only kind of job they can reasonably do. Not saying anything should necessarily change, since this works for many of you, I'm just saying I don't think it's wise to brag about how this works for people with tough schedules. I'd rather ask time off for a more major meetup. Speaking of which, are we planning anything? There'll surely be ones at any conventions coming up, but other than that? Something on a Sunday maybe? A month or two away?

  21. @tequilasunrise !bcbronies They've definitely changed her eyes as well. And this is the general consensus I've seen: About half of bronies think her new voice is better than the old one, but everyone hates her name and derpyness being removed.

  22. @pinhooves !bcbronies I heard it was supposed to snow yesterday and I was kinda disappointed. I've got a bad cold so yesterday was pretty damn wasted. Now it's raining down here.

  23. !bcbronies GUYS! John De Lancie's gonna be at Fan Expo Vancouver! I hope it goes without saying to not bug him with too much pony stuff, though, since as far as he's concerned it was just a minor one-time voice role, but maybe he'll sign some pony stuff you bring him or something.

  25. @pinhooves I meant my area specifically. I am pretty damn happy with how well this group's expanded, though.

  26. !bcbronies Just out of curiosity, have we got any more White Rock bronies out here? I know a guy named Dan out here, but that's about it. South Surrey's fine too, but I'm curious how well the fandom's expanding, since there weren't that many when I started this.

  27. @applecupcakes Awwww yeah. Just off Oxford.

  28. !bcbronies @mcbrony Glad you liked it! That vid's getting around pretty quickly. It's been out for about two hours and I've seen it posted everywhere. @andranator2 I certainly can't make it, I'm workin'.

  29. @mrphil !bcbronies Hot damn, that's pretty rad. The hoodie's amazing. The whole thing's kinda like a combo of Pinkie Pie and Travis Touchdown. Which conventions you goin' to?

  30. @garyoak !bcbronies No thanks, I'm sittin' out the drinking hangouts for a while. Anyway, enough reminiscing and stuff, let's keep this group for plannin'.
