    1. @therealscoutaloo !bcbronies It's April 21-22, the weekend of the season finale. If we can't find couches/floors to crash on for the expo, would you be willing to discuss splitting a hotel between us and maybe other islanders, if there are any? I recently stayed at a Best Western in Burnaby and it was $132 after taxes for a double queen room. A single queen would probably be significantly less.

      1. !bcbronies I would like to voice this concern and hopefully set some relevant ground rules right now regarding Fan Expo. The season finale is airing that Saturday. People will be busy that Saturday with the con. If you see the episode during the Saturday, do NOT bring it up during the con that day, most of us likely have not seen it yet. Most of us, however, will probably have time to watch it that night or before the con on Sunday, so some discussion will be fair game on Sunday. Does this sound fair to people? Also, be mindful that John Delancie's there chiefly for his role as Q and that Discord is just a minor thing he's done. He'll surely be fine signing pony stuff, but just don't overwhelm him too much.

        1. !vancouverbronies @bronymike I will have my netbook at fan expo. I'm sure we can find somewhere with wifi to watch the episodes. I would just need someone to bring external speakers as mine are not that great on the netbook itself. We would also need a place where they would let us use speakers. What time are the episodes playing?

          1. @tjdetweiler !bcbronies As I said, we don't know the schedule yet, so we can't really plan a specific meetup time/place. At PAX, what we did (Which worked quite nicely) is we set an area and a certain portion of time (~11:30-1:00 or something) when people could come and go, based on panels they wanted to attend. Feel free to get twenty people crowded around a netbook and watching the episodes (I believe both parts of the finale are airing the same day), but I'd rather hang out and chat and maybe have lunch for half an hour or so, then get back to the convention and watch it on a big ol' screen when I get home. Conventions tend to be kinda noisy, and unless we can find somewhere we can watch it at a reasonable volume (and perhaps on a decent-sized screen) where we're not going to be bothering people, I still say watching the episodes after the con is a better idea. If we can rent out a room with a projector somewhere or something, I might be game though.
