garyoak: @bronymike !bcbronies Due to atrocious planning on the con's part, I couldn't see any of the Ponystock that I tried to get in for. Having a room with a 350 attendance cap after selling 2,000 badges is the best way to run a con. Yeah...

garyoak: !bcbronies OK, this time for Everfree NW, I'd definitely like to try to get hotel/transport smoothed out before Saturday with someone else either going or looking to buy tickets. I'm going to be hawking the buy button.

garyoak: @therealscoutaloo !bcbronies Unless the official post from them on EqD is false, then we are indeed SOL. This is what happens when plans aren't made immediately upon tickets being available to cons. I didn't think brony-related cons would be of this nature (unlike BlizzCon which sells out in literally 1-2 seconds), but the fandom is getting big enough to warrant ultra-fast preparation. Too bad; Tabitha is going and she NEVER goes to cons.

garyoak: @therealscoutaloo !bcbronies The only way we'd be able to meet is if you came to Nanaimo or something, since I plan on taking a cab to the 6:30 or 8:30 ferry to Horseshoe Bay. As for staying overnight, if nobody is able to let us crash on a floor, we should start discussing hotel options. A friend from Nanaimo may also be coming over, but he's a huge maybe right now, so we'll see where that goes. I'd like to stick around after the Expo on Saturday for some drinking shananigans as well as be around for the Reboot panel on the Sunday, since I've loved that show ever since it came out when I was little.

garyoak: !bcbronies Due to the time of the expo and the viewing party, I'd like to request of anyone attending the meetup/the viewing party at 3ish to refrain from spoiling the episode if they saw it before coming. Anypony coming from a good distance away (Islanders such as myself) or those that want to be there for the Expo opening (10 AM, same time as the finale broadcast) won't have seen it. I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't be too thrilled if I got spoiled on the last episode we'll be seeing for a good 5 months a few hours before I saw it for the first time.

garyoak: @therealscoutaloo !bcbronies Tentative plan for me is to take the 6:30 so I can arrive at Metrotown in time for the finale, if that ends up happening and I can get this ticket issue figured out. From there, I'm either aiming to catch the 7 or the 9 home that day or crash somewhere and head home on Sunday. Gotta budget carefully since I'm planning on both BroNYCon and Everfree NW.

garyoak: @echron1000 If I promise you I'm going, I will probably show up between 9:30-9:45, because that's when transit lets me arrive (maybe earlier, idk). If it's 9:55 and I'm not there, chances are I won't show up.

garyoak: @echron1000 !bcbronies If I'm able to make it (still working this out), will you accept me paying $5 at the door and "reserving" me a place on account of where I live? If we get some sort of crazy finale meetup going, I'd like to try to make it if finances and logistics work out. If I can, I'll let you know the week before whether or not I can commit. I'd use Paypal, but it takes too long to transfer funds (literally like 3 weeks or something).

garyoak: @therealscoutaloo !bcbronies Well, it looks like you can buy them online or at the door. It's $20 for one day and $30 for both. Times are 10-7 on Saturday, 10-5 on Sunday. We need to see the schedule (unreleased as of now) to get a handle on when we want to go as well as when the brony meetup might be. If JDL is there on day 2, a good idea for the meetup would be after the expo, since it ends at only 5 PM. That also gives me the option of only going for one of the two days as well as being able to watch the finale live. Hell, if there's no meetup at all or it's during the expo, I'd just go for the Sunday if both JDL and the meetup are on that day and simply avoid the hotel all together since I can catch the 6:30 and the 9:00 ferries to move to and from the maneland.

garyoak: @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.

garyoak: @mcbrony !bcbronies To clarify the 4chan statement: ever since 4chan opened /mlp/, any and all traces of r34 have been eradicated. Posting a pony thread outside of /mlp/ is now a bannable offense, and posting any anthro/clop is a week global ban on /mlp/. 14 days if it's hidden by a spoiler tag. Obviously there is still clop that goes up, but it doesn't last for long.

garyoak: @therealscoutaloo !vancouverbronies We're actually overfull now, but still taking names for the waiting list. I think we've got our fair share of sub-Plat players, though we do have plenty of Diamond and Master level people too. You never know what level of opponent you'll get. For example, in the first one, I faced sub-Master people until the semis, whereupon I got stomped by a high Master Protoss that ended up taking the whole thing. It was a lot of fun either way.
