    1. @purpletinker Oh my god, you stole my idea! I was totally going to make a Google Maps mashup thing for finding and organizing meetups. Though.... looks like you only got half of it. ;) (No Ohio group on there?)

      1. @starshine Somepony needs to step up to bat and make an Ohio group! Who's willing to put in the work and/or $? :)

        1. @purpletinker There already is one! @darklycute and co. had a housewarming party mini-meetup, I "attended" as a bucket of turnips, and we're currently planning on a meet later this month.

          1. @starshine You should organise an official meetup group! It's not much to run, and you get to use the official bronies meetup logo. Shoot me an email! (prpltnkr at gmail dot com)

            1. @purpletinker we weren't planning to use meetup.com. Personally, I think it's a terribly disorganized site, and we can do better.

              1. @starshine I can respect that. (Incidentally, we are working on social features for rainbowdash.net itself!) For now, though, why don't you create SOME sort of a site about it? A meetup group, an RDN group, I don't really care-- I want something to link that map to! Can you provide that? :)

                1. @purpletinker There's actually two groups here: !ohiobronies and !broniesohio (since the first one was abandoned)

                  1. @starshine Should I nuke the abandoned one?

                    Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:49:37 UTC from web
                    1. @purpletinker I could do that myself! ;) tbh, it'd probably be better if it was possible to just transfer ownership of the old group and drop the new one instead, because the issue was mostly that the old group's admin disappeared.

                      1. @starshine I can do that. Want me to transfer ownership of !ohiobronies to you? The group needs an admin!

                        Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:56:44 UTC from web
                        1. @purpletinker That's possible? Awesome!

                          Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:57:17 UTC from web
            2. @purpletinker (not to mention that you have to pay them money to create a group. WTF?)

              Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:46:42 UTC from web
              1. @starshine Well, that's how they make money.

    2. @purpletinker Darn, still far away from me, the closet is DC. And thats like 95 miles away.

      Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:24:48 UTC from web
      1. @emperormiloth Psh. I'm going to be going about 200 miles this month.

        Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:27:27 UTC from web
        1. @starshine Well I can't. I don't have a license. And I don't think my parents would agree to driving me to d.c.

          Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:29:04 UTC from web
          1. @emperormiloth .... Oh yeah, you're really young. Give it a few years. :P

            Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:31:35 UTC from web
            1. @starshine I can't wait 3 years to get a license to go to the meet! There has to be another method for me.

              Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:33:29 UTC from web
              1. @emperormiloth Take a bus? A train?

                Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:39:02 UTC from web
                1. @purpletinker That could be an idea. But my parents might not approve.

                  Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:40:03 UTC from web
                  1. @emperormiloth I approve.

                    1. @kingcarcinopony Are you my mom or dad? Nope.

                      Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:42:27 UTC from web
                      1. @emperormiloth I could be.

                        Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:44:53 UTC from StatusNet Android
                        1. @kingcarcinopony well you are half hispanic. You could be. But you aren't.

                          Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:47:01 UTC from web
                  2. @emperormiloth Your parents are welcome to come. We are a friendly bunch. :)

                    Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:42:51 UTC from web
                    1. @purpletinker But I don't think they like to dabble with this. I mean randomly going 9X miles to somewhere for like day and than going back wouldn't be such a plan that my parents would be keen on.

                      Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:46:22 UTC from web
                      1. @emperormiloth Totally understand.

                        Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:47:36 UTC from web
                        1. @purpletinker And would any of the meetups allow 13 year olds?

                          Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:49:26 UTC from web
    3. @zach121k Bronies-NYC allows all ages at the cons themselves, just not at the afterparties/sleepovers.

      Wednesday, 06-Jul-11 01:51:45 UTC from web
    4. @zach121k Also I am 15 and went to the last two NY meetups I'm pretty sure I was the youngest there :p
