!socalbronies Hi there, I'm Necris (or Will if you wish either's fine) and firstly, I have a confession to make...I don't actually live in Southern California! (insert horrified gasp) I apologize for sneaking into your group like this but you see, I'm flying to Los Angeles airport on Saturday for a week in The Orange County and it will be my first time in America. The problem is, I don't really know anyone over there/here, so I thought "Who are the most accepting and fun and lively and generally awesome people I could ever want to meet whilst I'm there?" Why the Bronies of course!!! So i did a quick google search and found you guys. I was just wondering if there was any possibility of me joining a meetup with anypony/everypony? I don't think I'll be able to make the one on the 6th since that's when I'm flying. But any time during the week after that would be fantastic. Also, (clears touristy throat) any advice on getting around? Is the public transport good?

@zachariastargazer unless you are being saracastic, Will isn't spamming, he just screwed up the whole group tag so he deleted his previous post and reposted it with the group tag.

@necris81 hey good to see you here unfortunately i don't think there are many meet-ups happening we had a few a while back so sorry you might want to try and schedule one just for the sake of it. If you need any help getting around the city or anything email me at somoking1@gmail.com since your asking about public transportation i can tell you dont have a ride ill ask and see if my dad would be willing to take us around ( me = under aged) we have given a bunch of tours of the area so i dot think it will be a big problem in fact we will be going to Burbank on Wednesday and that's not to far too Hollywood so. ( ya i know im assuming you want to go to Hollywood but i consider it a fair assumption )

@necris81 Public transit in large portions of !SoCal strikes me as terrible, but it may be better in/around LA.

@necris81 Hello, and welcome to rdn. I think you should put "!scb" Without the quotes, in your post so it can be sent to those in the group.

!labronies !socalbronies I went down to the Irvine Spectrum today and arrived a little past noon. Walked through the entire place and didn't see any bronies. What gives?
Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 21:22:26 UTC from web-
@crayolabrony I'm glad you got some good photos, at least! I'm sorry you missed us too, it would have been great to have you along! :) We'll see you next time, I'm sure! Have fun at the family dinner.
-
@jimbo Aye. And I uhhh have a feeling I may have seen your group of 4 or 5 in passing, right next to the theater, but i didn't speak up because it was so out in public. Did y'all have different-colored shirts on? And was one of you wearing a headscarf or something? *headscratch*
-
@crayolabrony We were definitely not dressed alike, LOL! I don't think anyone was in a headscarf, though.
-

!socalbronies !labronies so I think I kinda am a step closer to trying to make a pony version of more boardgames- today I went out and found some old boardgames at a thrift store- a copy of Clue, and a copy of Stratego. It doesn't matter if some of the pieces are missing, I mainly just need a gameboard and maybe some random things like dice, and some of the other pieces, since I'd be making new graphics of stuff anyway. I wonder how this is going to turn out... anyways, anypony who's intersted in collaborating, shoot me an email at tehtrojanpony@gmail.com. I'm also on gchat with that email, so feel free to add me, I'm on all the time, i you wanna IM about brony stuff lol!

!socalbronies !labronies THANK YOU ALL FOR A GREAT BRONY MEET UP! Special thanks to @physicsbrony for the surprise appearance!
Monday, 25-Jul-11 04:30:23 UTC from web -
!socalbronies !labronies it was good to meet you all at the meetup would love to do it again. ohh and im sorry i had to leave so abbruptly girl with pikachu backpack if you want to continue are chat i have a lot to say about feminisation in media and unfortunately i don't get to talk about it seriously because of my age and partly my gender
Monday, 25-Jul-11 02:52:16 UTC from web-
@slapdash If i remember correctly i was talking about Yuri ( lesbian anime series). Funny enough Yoai (Homosexual male anime) is more popular with girls then Yuri is with guys so Yuri titles are often done very well because unlike a lot of gay romances in media there main target is not the opposite gender of the romantic relationship (typically) So the writing is usually very understanding. A example i use for the defrence between yoai and yuri is that in a yoai lets just say it dosent take long for sex to develop while in yuri ,like an old favorite of mine girlfriends, takes 57 chapters for them to kiss and although that dose not mean much it does tell you that there not trying to be soft core porn. On MLP i like how all the characters are extremely independent although you have to take into account gender populations in MLP are offset. though it provides a positive image when many characters work and live alone. ( sorry i had to cut my thoughts short character limit )
-
@slapdash Any way i think there is a great many of shows that simply do not show the female characters doing anything or show them being good for only emotional support such as Deathnote or better yet Bakuman ( if you don't like me referencing anime please tell me and ill find better examples its just that anime is a little more my forte) I think an interesting thing about MLP almost uses the characters faults as a base and builds there good qualities to build on that and this means if they fail at providing a good positive for the character the audience puts any future development in the positive. To be honest i don't think that MLP has good characters for women it has good characters in general. Recently i haven't seen to many male characters who gain much development. although this might be my own sexism kicking in. my favorite Rarity is a great example of a character which shows a empowered feminine role without being a completely against our common stereotype of women
-
@slapdash sorry for my lack of progression typing on this site feels really awkward for me so just look at the points individually. anyways a big problem with the industry is that it always goes to extremes and people always take what they do to the extremes. so unless your entire show has very independent women it seems like its just a character or an abnormality. Many of the shows that try to go all out for feminism they often get put on with the stigma of the extreme feminist. unfortunately that is goging to be hard to get rid off. im not sure if you read a lot of feminist literature but they use the term neuter castrate in full seriousness. You can probably understand why quite a few men don't care to learn about feminist groups cause it feels like they are not welcomed, though thats not giving them excuse but at least we can understand why are forefathers and perhaps a few contemporary male feminist felt awkward about the movement.

!socalbronies !labronies hey everypony. So, the other day I posted about wanting to maybe get together to make more brony-themed versions of boardgames? I was wondering who would actually like to? I suppose I'll ask at the local meetup this weekend, but just posing the question for you all local ponies who aren't making it to the little get together as well. That would be so cool if we could put something together as a local group =)
Friday, 22-Jul-11 10:54:30 UTC from web -
!socalbronies !labronies There are ponymeets being planned over at the MLPTP for August 3 and 6 at the Irvine Spectrum - http://www.mlptp.net/forums/mlp-discussion/89640-san-diego-southern-california-mini-meet-edit-irvine-2-weeks-now-4.html . It's more of a collectors meet I suppose, but most collectors love the TV series too. Anyhow, it's a good chance to meet other ponyfans.

Any !labronies or !socalbronies going to the San Diego Comic Con?
Monday, 18-Jul-11 02:24:38 UTC from web-
@tehtrojanpony Yeah, on Thursday.
-
@beatlepony cant, misses out on the ticket sales they went flying this year =( wish i could go though it sounds like the best yet....
-
@beatlepony Nice! Lucky you! Well, hope you have a good time, and run into some other bronies there. Maybe you'll even run into some of the production staff. Lauren Faust has given panels at Comicon before, I think, a alot people in the entertainment industry probably go every year...

-
Hey everyone at !socal and !labronies , I've suggested a super-duper-last-minute meetup at the Irvine Spectrum! If you wanna come hang out and shoot the breeze on the Official Brony Day, pony-style, feel free to RSVP! http://www.meetup.com/Bronies-LA/events/25764531/
Thursday, 14-Jul-11 20:48:02 UTC from web-
@jimbo so we still going to try to hang out, or whats the plan, i mean we don't have to have others to hang out, sorry to keep bugging, just wanting to do something today x3
-
@rubenflonne Sorry, I just got to my computer! My little sister is sick, so I'm not going to be going much of anywhere today. :( I hope you have a fun day anyway! :D
-
@jimbo its quite alright happy brony appreciation day, hope its a good one, and hope you have a fun day as well :3
-
-
Sooo I've recently found the !socal and !labronies groups - SHO. AWESUM. We should do something for Brony Day on the 15th! Hell, I'd be happy with wandering around a mall with a handful of bronies, or spree-shopping in the dollar section at Target. XD Anyone around the Irvine Spectrum? Anyone got any ideas?
Thursday, 14-Jul-11 04:05:31 UTC from web-
@rubenflonne although thinking about it, giving a one-day notice for a meetup is proooobably a really bad idea, so feel free to disregard that last message. ;) (ditto for !socal and !labronies LOL sorry! I thought it was two days away, not one. Derp is me!)
-
@rubenflonne LOL no worries! I just posted an official 'suggestion' on the Meetup page - does anyone want to meet at the Irvine Spectrum tomorrow at noon-ish for lunch, movie, Target-poni-shopping, whatever? !socal !labronies
-
-
Ah, it works! Hurray! Anyone with a little more experience fancy being an admin for the the Edinburgh meetup group? There was nothing in Europe, so I emailed Purple Tinker and was told to sign up here.
Thursday, 14-Jul-11 13:09:29 UTC from web-
@rotation I think perhaps that I'm going to haphazardly comma splice from now on, that sounds like a thing I should do.
-
@thelastgherkin dont use them at all and I'll slap you. Use them too much and I'll slap you. Use them just right and I'll hug you :D
-
@critialcloudkicker The pressure is on! :O

@gear so morongo valley? depends on where the position of the desert, i have a grandmother i visit out there time to time, i get there in about 2 hours or so
-
@rubenflonne Joshua Tree, actually. And really? That's fast. It's usually taken me three to get to L.A.
-
@gear oh i was close, and ya its a 2 hour drive or so, of course that means if its a clear drive, traffic makes it worse but half time is about 2 hours x3
-
-
!labronies !socal So I had this wise idea of having a beach pit party for us socal bronies; I mean, a BYOD would be established, buuuuuut food and the beach sounds like a grand plan!

@bigponymac Yush, you do.
-
@moonprincess I've already gotten him drawn out. I just need to color him and what not. I just haven't had the motivation to do any art on the computer as of late.
