  4. @jackzhang !bcbronies Can't you just tether a phone to a laptop in a backpack and make your own?

  6. !bcbronies I'm going to be placing an order with Welovefine soon, probably just after the next meetup or BBBBBBQFF. Let me know if you'd like me to include something for you. See the forum topic at http://www.bcbronies.org/forum/index.php/topic,436.0.html

  9. @scribus That's my spam address that I use to sign up for things, so I'm not too concerned. But thanks for the suggestion.

  10. !bcbronies Somepony at today's meetup (who's name I forgot, sorry) wanted a copy of the screening video. Anyone who wants it, shoot me an email at tesla500@hotmail.com and I'll set you up. Remember, you must pinkie promise not to post it publicly!

  15. @bronymike !bcbronies There's parking somewhere nearby, someone else drives there regularly. Check the Google satellite view for nearby parking lots.

  16. !vancouverbronies @jackzhang She did say she was "watching ponies with bronies", implying some sort of showing. http://twitter.com/#!/TheRealSibsy/status/193976937755049985

  17. !vancouverbronies That was freaking EPIC! I cannot believe how much fun that was. Thanks to the MLP production team and everyone who organized this screening for making this the BEST DAY EVER! My ears are still ringing from the cheering.

  18. !bcbronies Heading out now for the Cafe. I have 480p copies of the finale, if someone could find HD versions that would be great! I've found Demonoid has torrents available soonest after air. Also check the sidebar on the right side of http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/ for links to Youtube copies.

  19. !bcbronies @bronymike I've got the projector ready, along with a laptop, audio extension cables, VGA extensions, etc. I also have some small speakers just in case the room audio doesn't work. When should I arrive at the library, 2:30 - 3:00PM? I'll be at the Bamboo Cafe before heading to the library.

  20. !bcbronies What's our policy on the second showing if the first showing doesn't fill up for some reason? It looks like some people are planning to attend the second showing only, so I'm assuming we'll have to have the second regardless.

  21. @jackzhang !vancouverbronies If you could bring your camera that would be great. It isn't too much trouble is it?

    about a year ago from web in context
  22. @bronymike !vancouverbronies I've got a camera and tripod I can bring. How do we go about telling people or asking if they're OK with being recorded? Just announce it at the beginning? Perhaps we could have a section of seats that won't be in view in case some people don't want to be seen in the video. @jackzhang How is your camera in low light? The room will likely be quite dark. I don't think the size of the camera will be too much of a problem.

  23. !vancouverbronies What does everpony think of having a camera set up to record the audience reactions at the finale viewing? I think it would make an interesting video.

  24. @bronymike I finally got around to testing the projectors last night, they both work fine. Aspect ratio is no problem, they show black bars as required to maintain the aspect ratio. One projector is slightly brighter, the other has better color. I'd go with the one that has better color, given that the room has no windows and can be made dark. On the audio side of things, do we have everything required to go from the laptop's 1/8" jack to whatever speakers we're using?

  25. @bronymike Both are VGA input and have ~6' VGA cables. 1024x768 (XGA) is the native resolution, they may accept higher but would scale down to XGA.

  26. @bronymike !bcbronies Yes, in fact I have access to two projectors, I'll bring both just in case. They're both 1024x768 DLP units.

    about a year ago from web in context
  27. @bronymike !bcbronies I can get a projector, speakers, laptop, whatever is needed to show the episode. I'm not sure if internet is available, but as echron1000 said we can just download it and bring it over. A high quality torrent is usually up within a few hours of airing.

  28. !vancouverbronies Great meeting everypony! After the meeting we ran around looking at conference rooms near Metrotown. There are two Community Rooms in Metrotown mall, each seat 40 people and cost $100 for 4 hours, $150 per day. The Bonsor complex is much more expensive, the smallest room was ~$90 per hour with a 4 hour minimum. I forget the seating capacity of that one. There's apparently another room in Metrotower 2 that seats 55 and costs $110 for 4 hours. We couldn't get any info on that today because they're closed. Info at http://www.metrotowerii.com/manual/manualheaderdetail.ch2?manual.id=140&selectedHeaderCounter=3&selectedSubHeaderCounter=12 We'll need to give them a call to see if the room is available. This Metrotower room looks like the best deal by far.
