!vancouverbronies Hey, guys! Just stopping by to say that I will mos defs be at the meetup Saturday, and will likely be bringing some of my converts. I know I can trust you guys to properly indoctrinate them :D. In other news, I just got a Reddit account and have started posting stuff. Give it a look and upvote if you like! Here's my first post. http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/q31ow/my_awesome_math_teacher_was_complaining_about_a/

!vancouverbronies @mrphil That's impressive, dude! You going to FanExpo? We should hang there. I'm going as the Dread Pirate Roberts. :D @garyoak @mcbrony Drinking, you say? Gimme vodka, Peppermint Schnapps and chocolate milk, and I will supply you with endless DELICIOUSNESS. @andranator2 I /might/ make it. No promises, but I will try. My dad is typically pretty touchy about me going out on Fridays.

@asvendius !vancouverbronies Skating would be pretty rad! I'm down.

!vancouverbronies OMIGOSH GUYS! Tonight is the last night the Rio can legally show movies, due to a stupid law from the 20s. And they're showing Rocky Horror at 11. I know this is short notice, but if you can make it, look for the dude outfront playing Rocky Horror songs on an SG. Guaranteed to be awesome, because RH always is. Laterz!

@bronymike !vancouverbronies Oh, of course. It's actually more important to me that there is a band staying at my house, who will play here and maybe even teach me a few things. The fact that it's her is just an added bonus. :P

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada , Brony Mike

@bronymike !vancouverbronies Their Facebook page says they do, and I've heard it mentioned on The Peak radio station.

!vancouverbronies I need you guys to do me a favor. See, when Hey Ocean come to town, they need a place to stay. I have emailed them and offered my house. What I would like you guys who came to my house to do is to contact them and suggest my house. Mention my plethora of instruments, cool jam space, whatever; just make my house sound awesome. What's in it for you? If they do stay here, they'll do a free acoustic show! Say something about how your bro Steve has a great place. heyocean@heyocean.com Thanks in advance!

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada

!vancouverbronies @tophat Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. @mcbrony I'll have a listen to some of their stuff, and if I like it, I am quite likely to attend. I also love live shows, and any gig with a good mosh pit is sure to be a good time.

!vancouverbronies Hey guys, thanks for coming yesterday! It was pretty awesome. Maybe if we ever do this again, we'll actually get around to playing a few songs. Or producing any noise that even approaches musicality :P. Nah, it was fun and I hope we do it again. Looking forward to the weekly meets! Now I'm off to Value Village to complete my Trixie costume. @tylendal I'm not sure, you might have. I'm at my dad's currently, so I won't be able to check until later today.

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada , Max

@tylendal !vancouverbronies If you give him those, he will make them even more invisible. He fancies himself something of a magician. We plan on busking, me on guitar and stand-up comedy and him alternating between bass and magic.

@underdogbassist I do. It's 100 watts, and has an XLR input so I use it for bass and vocals. Depending on how many of my electric instruments are being used, I might need both inputs, so if you can bring your own amp that would be best. Also, if both Waffles and another friend of mine end up coming, there will be three bassists in attendance. I expect bass solo wars to occur. !vancouverbronies One thing to note about tomorrow, though. I expanded the invite list to all of my friends who are at least vaguely musical, not all of whom are bronies. Don't worry about flying your pony flag though. They're all cool. Also, if you have a song you want to share, bring a few copies of a chord sheet or something so everypony else can follow along. I went through the mess of paper in my basement and found a bunch of songs, including one my band started writing a few years ago. Needless to say, it sucks. :P

Hey, all you !vancouverbronies! It is but a few days from my jam meetup, so I'll repost it to the top. As well, my play is showing next week from Tuesday to Friday at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary. Doors are at 6:30, show is at 7, tickets are $5. If any of you can make it, I promise a show with as many pony references as they would let me put in. We've had a lot of fun putting it together, and we feel really good about going onstage with it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZCC483iRTuZmNnG3cNkog6W5bfDCrLiyHcnPv2zUxuA/edit?pli=1

@tylendal I used to have an awesome electric organ, but it broke down beyond repair. My bassist has a keyboard he might be able to bring over, though. I'll talk to him. !vancouverbronies I think weekly meets might be a tad much, at least for myself. If they occur, I'll probably attend more like every other week. But meetups are good things!

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada , Tequila Sunrise

@tequilasunrise !vancouverbronies Not quite, nice try. :P Understandable about Seattle, I get being busy. I've had so much going on with the play that I haven't slept in something like five days. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111015171825/mlp/images/1/1e/Twilight_Sparkle_crazy_S02E03.png I've been considering not going, but hell. A chance to harangue border authorities should not be passed up lightly. :D

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada

!vancouverbronies I finally got dates for the play I'm directing, and also acting in. I play a stage magician. An internet muffin to whoever guesses my character's name. :P Anyway, the show runs from the 17th to the 20th of January, and is in the auditorium of Sir Winston Churchill Secondary. I'll let you guys know when I have more info, like time and tickets. It'd be great if you guys came out to see us!

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada , John Kim

@tigerdusk !vancouverbronies Whatever mood strikes us. There will probably be a good amount of pony music, but I'm quite partial to the blues and rockabilly type stuff, which is fun and easy to mess around with. If you have any songs you want to play, I guess make sure it's relatively well known and made up of simple chords. Or, just start playing a series of chords or notes or whatever, and a rhythm will start around you. Jamming is Magic. :) A few of my personal favorite songs to improv over are the ever classic Johnny B. Goode, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8JULmUlGDA , Rock This Town, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-0uOkg5onc , and Back in the USSR. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxyISsA0Oh0 But really, as long as you're willing to make a fool of yourself, jamming is always a blast.

Hey, @dawnstar! Welcome to our humble !vancouverbronies group! Are you of a musical persuasion? If not, who cares! Join us on the 14th anyway! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZCC483iRTuZmNnG3cNkog6W5bfDCrLiyHcnPv2zUxuA/edit?pli=1

@tequilasunrise !vancouverbronies Assuming you want the ones in the show-accurate key, the good ones are as follows: Theme song, the chords one at the top is pretty gorramn close. GatG, the top chords are correct. Evil Enchantress don't even bother, the song doesn't have chords. :P Winter Wrap Up, Piranhaplant's chords are the closest of them, though still feel a bit off in some sections when playing along with the original. Cupcakes, the top chords again. For art of the dress, the top chords are technically right with the capo. Dsus4 is just the open D chord with your pinkie on the third fret of the top string. The tabs at the bottom are pretty good, as well, but I dislike fingerpicking stuff while singing. But that's just me. :P The chords for Hush Now Quiet Now are nearly perfect, and this song is a ton of fun to belt out, even if you're not a 13-year-old girl who inexplicably sounds like a gospel singer. CMC theme song chords are pretty close, and it's a fun song.

!vancouverbronies Great, this is just great. I've been talking about the jam session for weeks now, and TODAY they decide to tell me about the family trip to Whistler on the 15th. So, It's gonna have to be on the 14th. Ah, well. At least it's still happening!

!vancouverbronies My google(docs)-fu is weak. THIS link should allow you to edit. My bad. :P https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZCC483iRTuZmNnG3cNkog6W5bfDCrLiyHcnPv2zUxuA/edit

@irresponsiblesnowflake The fact that you say that means you know very little of my mother. :P !vancouverbronies Unfortunately, my attendance tomorrow is... unlikely. I will try to make it, but it's doubtful. I will be going down to Seattle on the 8th, regardless of whether any of you bums are joining me. Travelling to random vaguely foreign places is a hobby of mine I need to indulge more. Reposting this to the top... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZCC483iRTuZmNnG3cNkog6W5bfDCrLiyHcnPv2zUxuA/edit

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada

!vancouverbronies I hope you legal ponies had fun drinking! I have discussed the issue with my mother, and she is totally fine with a bunch of crazy internet bronies with instruments invading her house for a day. So, here you are: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZCC483iRTuZmNnG3cNkog6W5bfDCrLiyHcnPv2zUxuA/edit

!vancouverbronies Oh, and let's see if the Facebook link works the way I hope it does: http://www.facebook.com/events/317020514983812/

Hey, !vancouverbronies . Just got back from a solstice party. My mother and all her witchy friends like to get together and drink homemade maple mead and burn papayas, and they brought me and Flashpoint along for musical accompaniment. It was pretty cool, but the best part was my solstice gift from my mother. She got me a Mare-Do-Well poster, which now holds a place of honour above my bed. In other news, there is a brony meetup in Seattle on January 8 which I am hoping to attend. Perhaps we could make an event of it, and a bunch of us take the train down together? Trains are fun. According to my research, for a round trip from here to Seattle would be just over $100. The bus would be around $80, but I think the extra is worth it for a train ride, wouldn't you say? Buses are smelly.

!vancouverbronies @carmle I believe I promised unto you the greatest of all the instruments, the Cowbell.

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada

!vancouverbronies @asvendius @andranator2 Well, that was fun. Never thought I'd pass out on somepony's couch with my ponies. My familial units were surprisingly forgiving. Ice skating would be pretty rad, me and Flashpoint would be down. Now, to see if he'd be allowed on the ice... :P. I've discussed the possibility of a jam meetup with my mother, and she's agreeable. I have a sizable basement jam area with a bananasty drum kit, three guitars, two ukuleles, a bass, and a variety of handheld percussion instruments. Such an event would be held shortly after the new year. No musical talent required, just a willingness to make a fool of yourself with all your bronies. :D

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada

!vancouverbronies Hey guys, I got my SG today! It is beautiful and the sound is amazing and it NEEDS A NAME. I have a thing about naming instruments. Any suggestions welcome! @maxig I'm planning a jam meetup sometime just after the new year, which should be awesome. @underdogbassist I facehoofed at that pun. I friggin' love my ubass, and I play it all the time. Here's my cover of Nice and Sleazy by the Stranglers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TWrJEWDij4& Bringing the drum kit tomorrow might be a bit much, I think I'll stick with the guitar for now. Also my kit is a piece of crap. :P @tequilasunrise Awesome, I'll bring it then. The world needs more bassists. @noise WELCOME TO THE HERD!

Steve Rondeau Bronies in and around Vancouver, Canada

@underdogbassist @tylendal !vancouverbronies This looks to be shaping into a brony jam session. Soo awesome! /rainbow. I have a 6-piece drum kit, but no real way of getting it out there unless I strap it to my bike and haul it out (which I have done before). A jam at my place would bring the possibility of drums, so perhaps a future meetup idea? @tequilasunrise Dude, don't sweat it. Even if you just hit the bass notes, jamming is always a blast. Hell, I might bring my bass as well if you want to try it. It's not heavy, it's one of these... http://www.ukeladymusic.com/store/images/kala-ubass.JPG . @garyoak I *might* be able to help you. The drummer in my band has a place in town, and might have a couch for you. No promises, as he's kinda hard to get in contact with, but I'll try. @tigerdusk I used to live out east, North York area. Not a bad city, but I do prefer my native BC.
