@jimbo ah nice! What was your major in undergrad, and what are you studying now? In undergrad, I was Communication (Annenberg) with a minor in Video Game Design and management (Viterbi). I just earned my master's degree too actually, in Dec 2010 (although I didn't go to USC for grad school.) Hehe I went all the way across the country for grad, school; believe it or not I got a master's degree in Interactive Entertainment (that's just a fancy term for Video Game Development XD) So now I'm back here in SoCal, mah hometown, trying to get into a studio. LOL, as Dashie says, "living the dream," right?

@crimsonvalor !labronies !socalbronies well, I gotta warn you, it IS a very small convention. I usually only spend a couple hours there, tops, but then again, I'm not the type of person to paw through comic boxes for hours, either. ;) But that said, if I can get the time off, I'll go! :D
-
@crimsonvalor !socalbronies !labronies LOL Well, there's no real 'gathering place' around there, unfortunately. (Unless you mean somewhere to go for lunch?) So by going to the con, we could have somewhere to wander around, and hang out at.
-
@jimbo !socalbronies !labronies if any bronies want to just meet for lunch that would be pretty cool I would be willing to go if i get a heads up.
-
@crimsonvalor @somoking @tehtrojanpony eh, the only reason I might be going to the comic expo is because it's near my school. If you wanna go to Burton, feel free, but I'm out.
-
@jimbo ah ok. Have fun! BTW, just out of curiosity, what school do you go to?
-
@jimbo im sorry you cant go i would love to come with you but i kinda wanna say goodbye to dash
-
@somoking Yeah, I'm sad they picked the same day as the Sci Fi thing, I was hoping to meet some local bronies. :( But perhaps another time. :)
-
@tehtrojanpony Thanks! I go to USC, actually, whose mascot is very close to your avatar and nickname. Where do/did you go?
-
@jimbo Really.... Well, then I have just one thing to say to you... FIGHT ON, BRONY!!!!! GO TROJANS!!!!!!! I graduated from USC in 2008. Thus explains the resemblance of my avatar, to our beloved mascot XD. Although I am thinking of changing my oc pony character. To a cardinal-colored pony. With gold colored mane.
-
@tehtrojanpony Cool! Sounds like a fun time at school. :] I'm vocal arts, so I've been in the Thornton school all five years of undergrad (ouch!), and now I'm in it for another two semesters, LOL! And my advisor is doing her damndest to see that it doesn't happen, apparently. :/ It's a shame the other meetup is on the same day, it would be cool to see a fellow Trojan brony. :]
-
@jimbo yeah! I will totally have to meet you some time at one of these meetups! It is awesome to find another Trojan brony =) I went the LA Sci-fi expo thing back in April or May I think it was, cause there was supposed to be a brony meetup at that one. But I went and lo and behold not a brony in sight. So hopefully alot more bronies show up this saturday. Do you live near campus? I would totally be down for planning another meetup around downtown LA sometime soon.
-
@jimbo cool stuff on your Deviantart BTW, I have friended you on DA =)
-
@tehtrojanpony I wonder if that was mine! I suggested a meetup, but no one ever replied so it didn't happen. :( I went, but all I got was harassment from the nasty-grapes Scientologist, LOL. I actually live on campus, but I have no car. :(
-
@jimbo Why was he bothering you?
-
@jimbo did you make a post about it on Ponychan? cause I believe that's where I heard about it. Say do you chat on any IMs? It would be really cool to chat in real time, lol. I've only been back to campus a few times since I graduated. Man, the new student union is really nice =) So is the new Cinema building. Wish that stuff was there when I was going there... hehe I live pretty close to USC, so if we did have a meetup around LA I would be happy to give anyponies who need it a ride =)
-
@cabal Well, what happened was I happened to ACCIDENTALLY make a little too much eye-contact while passing his table, and he proceeded to try and sell me some of the Scientology books - the dictionary of spelling, or some such nonsense. I listened politely (big mistake!), but kept saying, "Well, no, I wouldn't really be able to use these, I already speak English" - "Oh, but they help with teaching OTHER people English! You're a mother, right?" "...no?" And so on. And so I finally said, hey, money's short, I gotta be moving on, thanks for the info anyway, and I skedaddled. Later, when I passed his table (not hard to do, in such a small hall) with a bag of merch, he singled me out from the crowd to question my choice of purchase. "Oh, I thought you said you didn't have any money? So how did you buy all of that?" As if, you know, NOT buying his cult's books was some kind of personal insult. Also, he smelled and looked like he hadn't bathed in days; definitely unsettling.
-
@tehtrojanpony I'll PM you, if I can figure out how to work the private message function lol
-
@jimbo i think to send a PM, you just click on a person's profile page, and hit message.
-
@tehtrojanpony Weird, I'm pinging you on AIM, and nothing is happening. (I ended up PMing you on DA instead, LOL)
