javablast: !Phillybronies STAY TUNED. something just exploded here on campus. We're supposed to be out of power until Sunday!! If this is true, a powerless meet-up would be pointless. Also, my phone is about to die and I have no charger. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon @ponydude2143, can you spread my updates?

javablast: @ponydude2143 The Wifi is set up for both guest and student. Guests have a lot of freedom, they just can't do MMORPs... aaaand I have a student account and all. Dell Latitudes were built with office presentations in mind.

javablast: @derpytails the toy selection might improve at Target. It's still a baby Target. Google maps can't even find it. In other news, we're awesome. I just checked the EU schedule and there's events going on the week before and the week after the meet-up. So we picked the perfect weekend. !phillybronies

javablast: @derpytails I was just at that Target on Friday. They only have the Canterlot sets and AJ's truck. I'm trying to get my paws on the rest of the scooter set. The Walmart is probably a better bet. Then again, things might change by Oct. !phillybronies

javablast: @ponydude2143 We can shuttle the 11:45am train. Everyone else can walk from St. Davids. St. Davids is actually closer and in walking distance, but I don't want @Derpytails walking from there with his heart. It's all hilly and back-roadsy. !phillybronies

javablast: @ponydude2143 that's the idea. Let's hope nobody throws a wrench in the gears all like "I'm taking septa, but I can't be there until 2." next time I'm on my computer (currently on my phone) I'll make walking instructions from St.Davids station.

javablast: Good news, everypony! Today was my first day back at work (check that location, moved back to Radnor!) and the very first thing my boss said to me was "Gretchen, I need help. My wife won't let me watch My Little Pony." So, I told him about our meet-up. I'm 90% sure we could use the coffee shop for our meet-up, free of charge. There are two nearby SEPTA stations. St. Davids is closer, but I'd rather @derpytails and everyone use Radnor, it's safer. I can shuttle people over. The coffee shop is closed on Saturdays, so I know it'll be empty. The lounge/dining area is always open. Plus, it's free. !phillybronies
