!vancouverbronies Hi all. I'm a journalist and I'm writing an article on local bronies in Vancouver. I would love to be able to chat with some of you about MLP and the brony culture. I don't want to infringe on your Saturday meet-up, but if any of you would be willing to meet and share your stories with me, say hi.

@jdan Well, I set up the Vancouverbronies group and I've been involved in just about every facet of this subculture in one way or another, so I could probably give you a fairly in-depth explanation of certain parts of the fandom. Would you prefer Skype or Email, or just try to summarize it on here?

@bronymike hey mike maybe you shouldn't talk to the media because you have a video or too that if your searched, that if some one not in he community saw would view all bronies as freaks add me on skype if you wanna know wich ones

@echron1000 Oh no, I can figure out quite easily which videos would pin me as some manner of insane freak. I also know this fandom inside and out better than most people likely due; my connections are quite vast, and I've nothing to hide.

@bronymike yes that is also a problem much of it can be given a spin in the medias eyes to paint the whole of the brony fan-group in a negative light, I would go into detail by my spelling and grammar suck alloud

@echron1000 Believe me. If I've got any direct contact with any form of media, I'll choose all my phrasing and references carefully. I've heard no word back from anyone about anything though so at present I doubt anything will come of this.

@bronymike the problem is if they do a search on your user name with they can and any intelectuall report will they will find your youtube page and I am pointing out your big song that will get us lampooned This is why I ____

@echron1000 Not even my song; it's a verse in what's supposedly eventually going to be a larger collaboration, and it's a joke. Also, if they're looking for stuff to put us in a negative light, they'll find stuff way the hell easier than that. A major news outlet's not going to directly report on a XXX song about the ponies, there are censorship issues. As I said, I've never been contacted by anyone in the media in the first place, so the whole issue is moot. Worst-case scenario is that there's one more negative article added to the dozens that already exist, and when people bring it up with us we mention the hundred thousand dollars or so that bronies have raised for charities over the last year.

@jdan I could certainly share my impressions/story. Main point of interest with me, I s'pose, is that I'm the oldest member of the group so far by a fair margin.

@jdan I'd love to meet you. If you wanted to meet people individually I'm up for that. I live in North delta though and I'd like to keep it fairly close to home if it's during the week. If you feel like meeting one or 2 of us I can round up a few of my brony friends for you. Just not tuesdays and aftr
