!calgarybronies As I'm sure some of you have seen, @calgarybronycon is looking to make something big around here. I have updated the blog with a post on where to find them. Spread the word, ponies! They need awareness! http://calgarybronies.blogspot.com/2012/01/calgary-based-pony-convention.html

!calgarybronies Sounds like a bunch of bronies from around Alberta are talking about have a mini-meetup at CCEE when it rolls around. I'll keep ya'll posted on what's going on with that but that may be a new reason to tag along!
-
@lifegospel !calgarybronies It's a very important part of the plot.
-
!calgarybronies This may sound like it's coming completely out of left field here. But I've got some used RAM sticks after upgrading my own if anypony wants to take 'em off my hands. They're for desktop computers and consist of two 2GB sticks and two 1GB ones. I want practically nothing for 'em as they just take up desk space and gather dust. Let me know if anyone wants 'em!
-
@moneybags !calgarybronies You totally shouldn't link stuff like that. Now I had to go and buy another shirt! Confound you Moneybags!
-
@moneybags !calgarybronies I wasn't able to listen to it until now but this... this is amazing. I'm putting that on like. Right now.
-
@vanillabelle !calgarybronies Correct, those are the two upcoming ones.
-
@darcyblue !calgarybronies I'm bringing the episode as well, as a just in case thing. I got it in 720p in .mp4 format. Hopefully your laptop has Media Player Classic, to avoid any format problems.
-
@moneybags !calgarybronies Yep, 6:30 is the recommended arrival time. Do remember that they're doing maintenance on the downtown section (which sucks) so you should plan for some extra time to switch shuttle buses and all that. I had written all the information previously if you can find it.
-
@thetundraterror !calgarybronies It's 2836 Memorial Drive, SE.
-
!calgarybronies Just going to post it here since the main page is going a mile a minute with spoilers anyways. Do try to hold off on commenting on the episode for at least a day so that those who work get a chance to see it. Just saw it myself since I couldn't sleep and it was quite good, but that's all I'll mention on it.
-
!calgarybronies Just as a note to those travelling on the weekend. The main downtown area will be doing maintenance so we'll have to use shuttle buses to get around. To get to Franklin station, you need to ride the B202 shuttle bus up to the Bridgeland station and ride the train from there. The stops are, as far as I can tell, near the platforms themselves to avoid too much confusion. More information is here: http://www.calgarytransit.com/detours/201_202_update_20110917.html Do be sure to allow a bit of extra time to switch around too! Also relinking my doc (found here: http://oat.nu/bkss9) to be sure it stays relevant on the page. Be sure that to add your name if you haven't already if you'll be there by 6:30 on Sunday! @johnmcdowell Sure am! To use a joke I used once already today: Dawn of the Final Day -24 Hours Remain-
-
@lifegospel !calgarybronies Don't worry, I fixed it up! You can all go be oatmeal on the other side now. It's a good thing I'm so organized~
-
@vanillabelle !calgarybronies Awww thanks. And now I know to be VERY specific about what to put in certain sections or you crazy ponies turn it into a best pony argument! Feh.
-
!calgarybronies And here's the doc, please place your name if you can make it to the Boston Pizza just off of Franklin station by 6:30PM on Sunday, or if you'll be late, mark it on there. http://oat.nu/bkss9

!calgarybronies Pretty much what Ikasama said. We're going to make this on Sunday. One of us (either myself, Ika, Darcy, etc.) call them at about 5PM saying that we'd like to use the party room at 6:30 or something for whatever amount of ponies and they'll set it up to accommodate us. If the party room is already used, they'll set us up on a supertable or something. And that's that! I'll also be posting another doc soon as a sign-up sheet so we can give 'em a rough estimate of how many to expect.

@vanillabelle !calgarybronies I'm pretty sure he was just derping since he said he had something to do this Saturday. As far as I know, the next meetup is on the 24th. The whole reason for the BP thing is 'cause we don't have a meetup, and to celebrate! It's kind of like a meetup! Only not!
-
@darcyblue !calgarybronies Don't worry about it. We're going right after we're both done work to check it out. We could call, sure, but adventure! And the meetup is next week I thought, were we going to do an extra one this weekend? I didn't think we were, hence this idea. @vanillabelle The one we're heading to in right off the northeast train track. It's like five minutes or less away from Franklin station. Don't worry, we've gotcha covered. :D
-
@lonehowler !calgarybronies There is one up there. It's right off of Franklin station, just a block away. @ikasamabrony and I are probably going to head up there today to try and make a reservation. Not sure what numbers or day we should suggest yet though. Hopefully we'll sort it out.
-
!calgarybronies Sunday works for me. Not sure about the address though, never been to this one. 6:30 sounds like a reasonable time too. We'll just have to get it reserved beforehand. I'll make a doc after I'm off work to just write down names so we can figure out how many are going to be there so we can reserve a large table for that many.

@vanillabelle !calgarybronies If I could get a ride, I can likely come along. I don't drink though so I'd just be there to join in. The coffee idea would be more broad to let everypony go, but trying to find something like that would be a challenge. I don't know anywhere in the city...
-
@moneybags !calgarybronies Make 'em come with you, that'll show 'em!
-
@lifegospel !calgarybronies Multiple entries are allowed, so the more creative you are, the more chances you have to win.
-
!calgarybronies Okay I lied, one more. When sending your captions to me, be sure to either edit the words directly into the picture in a legible format or just send either a link to which picture so I know or attach the picture itself and just write your caption on the email. Either one is fine!

!calgarybronies And lastly, because it was requested, here is the link to the song Fluttershy's Lament. At least I think that was the requested song. I don't remember. http://www.mediafire.com/?t274mssi6j7zyww My long posts are done now though, looking forward to your captions!

!calgarybronies Also, the QR code on the Mentally Advanced series actually lead to this, I copied it off 1080p: "Glory to the proletariat! Though Celestia's lackeys come for me today, know that I die a martyr. Though they may crush all who I am, know that they will never undo what I once was: an earth pony. With hammer and sickle in hand, we have tilled the fields and tended the cupcakes with nary a cry of complaint. Cast off your shackles, my brothers and sisters! The alicorn cannot rule us all, for leadership is granted by consent of the masses! Rise up, my fellows! Rise up! Follow this easy recipe and add in several cups of ground unicorn horn: *2 1/4 cups all purpose flour *1 1/3 cups sugar *3 teaspoons baking powder *1/2 teapoon salt *1/2 cup shortening *1 cup milk *1 teapoon vanilla *2 large eggs *1 cup freedom!"

!calgarybronies You got it Puzzlemint. Announcing here: A caption contest! Using any of the photos from the BBQ, and only that day! (Found here: http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa440/conjure2/meet%20up%20bbq/) Anypony in the group here to make the funniest or silliest caption gets a shirt from me from any pony store on the web! My limit for this is $40 and I'm obviously going to want size/colour preferences so I'll be asking for those if you win! I'll make the cut-off the 23rd and will announce the winner the next day at the meetup, so have your captioned photos sent to fawkes24 (at) hotmail with the subject line "Caption Contest". Good luck!

!calgarybronies And since I said I would post here, here's the link to EqD's custom merch mega-mall: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/custom-merch-mega-mall.html That has almost every shirt shop in there, just take a look! Don't forget about WeLoveFine and Red Bubble as well!

!calgarybronies Good times all around today, everypony! Yet another day of my voice feeling like it's gonna implode on itself but I can't help but talk during these things, let's see if it survives tomorrow!
