@tequilasunrise !bcbronies Is there an easy way to check how many people have clicked "yes" on the survey? Also, it's kinda unsettling having a survey with no other options. If someone wants to see results but can't confirm attendance, a "no" button would be nice.
Monday, 09-Apr-12 20:18:43 UTC from web-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies Yeah, I can check it by logging in - it's attached to an account. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I can share them with a basic account, but I can post updates periodically? I also added a "No" button.
-
@tequilasunrise !bcbronies Ah, excellent. Hmm, yeah, even if I sign in it looks like I can't view the results. It'd be nice if we had a system where everyone could read the results so we can plan more easily. I sent a note to EqD that we were trying to gauge attendance numbers, I'll actually re-send the message with the survey link instead. Just keep us posted on the numbers, especially if they go over, say, 65.
-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies I'll keep an eye on it and post updates, sure.
-
-
@bronymike @tequilasunrise !bcbronies if you guys are concerned about facebook being too open to public, we can create a "secret group" in there. i'm in a couple of these private groups. posts are not public in there. let's make "BCbrony" secret group on facebook :)
Monday, 09-Apr-12 18:23:27 UTC from web-
@mcbrony @bronymike !vancouverbronies I don't see that we really need one (this works fine, generally), and I think it makes more sense to have one go-to place for group stuff, rather than fragment our presence across multiple sites. Also, I despise Facebook and try to use it as little as humanly possible, but that's just me. :)
-
@tequilasunrise !bcbronies The group is just to get a number of how many people are attending.
-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies I do know at least one person who wants to come but absolutely refuses to sign up for Facebook, whereas the survey requires no registration.

@noirbatch It's pretty cool. I doubt the chocolate is much good, but that's really kind of a secondary concern here...
-
@tequilasunrise Lol Just what I was thinking lol
-
@tequilasunrise AND THEN PINKIE SAID "TWILIGHT I KNOW WHO ATE THE DESSERT" AND TWILIGHT SAID "NO PINKIE YOU ARE THE DESSERT" AND PINKIE WAS MADE OF CHOCOLATE

-
!vancouverbronies With those things in mind I created a real quick SurveyMonkey survey for people to indicate if they're coming: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FFWVZ9Z
Monday, 09-Apr-12 16:27:11 UTC from web-
@spectrumflash !bcbronies You got a legal way of viewing it up here?
-
!bcbronies I'm planning on making it to the finale viewing as well. What's going on about the Vancouver Fan Expo, though?
-
@spectrumflash !vancouverbronies It's the reality of the situation, unfortunately.
-
-
@fang8989 @bronymike !vancouverbronies Yeah, my other concerns about Facebook would be a) I wouldn't want people to have to sign up for it just to RSVP and b) the very fact that it will get plenty of people's attention, and I don't think we want the attendance numbers to get out of hand.
Monday, 09-Apr-12 16:24:10 UTC from web-
@tequilasunrise !bcbronies We don't want the attendance numbers to get out of hand? We're doing this to check the numbers now so we know if we need to scale up the capacity of the room we're reserving.
-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies Well, I put up the SurveyMonkey thing which is really basic and it's got 11 responses so far. What do you want to go with? You had expressed concerns about using Facebook for it and I had my own concerns, so I set that up.
-
-
!vancouverbronies https://www.facebook.com/events/330159373706632/?context=create Here is a facebook event page. Everyone has a facebook, right? If you decide on price, time, and location, just let me know and I will update the information on the event page.
Monday, 09-Apr-12 09:10:45 UTC from web-
@bronymike yeah. Unfortunately it was the only way I could actually get people to come to my meetup since there are only 2 active utah bronies including myself.
-
!vancouverbronies man, i just read the last 6 pages of posts since i haven't visited RDN in awhile, so much arguing. wouldn't be surprised to see a few wendigos in tomorrow's forecast. i'm down for whateva meetup is going on.

!bcbronies We are hoping to use the convention centre's or the library's internet to download the episodes beforehand and @tesla500 is offering to bring a projector. I can bring my laptop and HDMI/VGA cables. It appears that the library's conference room has a speaker system, so hopefully there will be no trouble on that end. ***To cover the costs, we are hoping to collect $5-$10 at the door from all attendees. Please bring at least $5 in cash.*** The room is $200 for 4 hours, and if we need to expand beyond 60 people it's bumped up to about $350, so hopefully the cover charge is understood. Our reasons for choosing this venue are its flexible scheduling, its various conference room options, its proximity to the convention centre, and its probable proximity to wherever Mr. Ingram lives. Again, I would like to check if anyone in here could create a simple poll of some sorts, to gauge attendance of this viewing.
Monday, 09-Apr-12 07:47:06 UTC from web -
!bcbronies Just to sum up the details of the current plan: @thepuzzldpirate is Reserving one of the 60-person conference rooms at the Vancouver Library. We're interested in hearing about what kind of turnout we can expect, so if anyone can make a poll so we can get a good number, that would be appreciated. To avoid conflict with Fan Expo scheduling, we're currently aiming for a viewing on the night of Saturday the 21st. Since the con ends that day at 7PM, this will likely start at 8PM. Once Fan Expo has a schedule up, we may reschedule for some time in the early afternoon, though some people may need to sacrifice seeing some panels to meet for this this finale. We'll discuss that when the time arrives. For now, though, tentative 8PM. We are trying to contact Daniel Ingram regarding his schedule, as he's shown interest. We will gladly rearrange this based on his schedule if need be.
Monday, 09-Apr-12 07:37:16 UTC from web -
!vancouverbronies they dont have pictures of the room but we were wrong its 100 dollars for 45 people in metro town for 4 hours
Monday, 09-Apr-12 02:31:32 UTC from web-
@echron1000 !bcbronies For the reasons we've explained several times. Closer to the convention centre. Closer to Daniel. More flexible scheduling. More room options. Better accommodations. Were you talking to him over Facebook?
-
@bronymike yes over face book
-
@echron1000 cool.
-
-
cool. we're finally talking about watching the royal wedding episode with mr. ingram. i think we need a poll to determine how many !bcbronies are actually interested (i'm sure a LOT are) i wish this is facebook coz it's easy to cast votes there... anyway. count me in. i'm willing to donate some $$$ to make this happen.

Sunday, 08-Apr-12 21:10:58 UTC from web
-
@thepuzzldpirate There's no guarantee that he will. Did you talk to him on Twitter?
-
-
!bcbronies I've got to work on this project so I probably can't help plan for most of the rest of the day, but see what we can figure out regarding getting Daniel in on this and make sure all planning is done with Fan Expo in mind.
Sunday, 08-Apr-12 19:24:00 UTC from web-
@thepuzzldpirate !bcbronies Though, this all does depend on the scheduling still. If nothing that great is going on between like 12 and 1:30, we could totally set it up for a lunchtime thing. People might need to sacrifice attending a panel or two though, which is why until the schedule's posted, I think planning it for after everything is the best tentative schedule.
-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies places need a minimum of a weeks notice so if the scheduel isnt posted befor saterday we wont be able to have it set
-
-
!bcbronies Also, how would be the best way to get a hold of Daniel regarding this thing's schedule? I'll volunteer to be our representative if someone can provide a link. If @tesla500 can bring a projector, that would save us a good $100 from the library costs and I'd still be able to make the downpayment beforehand if everyone can bring 5-10 bucks when they come. If I've got the right library in mind, it might be easier than going all the way to Metrotown, and also more convenient for Mr. Ingram. But again it depends on the time the library's available.
Sunday, 08-Apr-12 18:56:39 UTC from web-
@thepuzzldpirate Conversely, actually, I use Facebook much more than Twitter (which I can hardly function on). I told him the tentative plan (planning around Fan Expo) is to use one of the library's conference rooms and meet around 8:00 on the Saturday, though I said that if another time would be better, let any of us know over FB, Twitter, or here.
-
@echron1000 who do you think brought it up? I was there since 12:30 asking people what we should do, I offered Metro as a suggestion because it was in the middle of everything. I also said to look around and see what could be found. Tequila offered the library on RDN while you guys were still there or running around.
-
@thepuzzldpirate ok well the place we found seats 55 for like 110 instead of 150
-
-
@echron1000 !vancouverbronies: I'm going to say this and you need to take this with a grain of salt but what you are asking is far from reasonable. I OFFERED, a way to pay for this so there ain't any problems. You think I'm going to pay for this thing by myself? I was going to collect at the door WHERE EVERYONE IS GOING. How do you expect for people to take time out of our schedules to give you 5 bucks, I work 64 hours a week, I don't have spare time. Second of all, you completely ran over any of my efforts which I had to turn around and delete anything (Even my posts to Daniel Ingram) related to them. So simply put THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE before any worries about money.
Sunday, 08-Apr-12 18:24:12 UTC from web-
@echron1000 I hope you can cool of, and I again apologize for how poorly the laser tag went. RDNet suddenly stopped giving me updates that week, so I couldn't help it. @thepuzzldpirate !bcbronies Is this the big ol' coliseum Vancouver Library? How do you book rooms, is it online? What hours is it available? How big's the space? Is the internet any good? (Sorry about the barrage of questions)
-
@bronymike !vancouverBronies PRICE what is it, keep it cheap. people may or may not show up becuase of the expo, thats why the smaller 55 person room was set up well for this
-
!bcbronies @bronymike @tesla500 Good to hear, that will lower the price by about 150$, the library has the screens so it works out. anyway Mike. Here is the link for the rooms http://www.vpl.ca/rooms/spaces.html I was thinking of getting either Peter or Alma, pics are there, they seat 60 and have projector screens. If Daniel wants to watch it live, they do offer internet. How fast I do not know, but I can find out this Monday after work. I can do it on the internet but I rather talk to someone so I will head down.
-
-
!VANCOUVERBRONIES IT DOESN'T MATTER IF WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT! look we have some venues ready to choose from, we know that metro closes at nine so we should be able to stay late, what we need is the money we have a total of... 5 dollars out of... 110 for the bigger room, am I the only one seeing that there is no way those numbers are matching up
Sunday, 08-Apr-12 17:54:02 UTC from web-
@scribus sorry, but yeah thanks, I was getting mad, like really mad I was shaking as I typed
-
@echron1000 I apologize, I didn't realize you said you would pick it up. The reason I didn't help with the laser tag is that RDN stopped giving me updates, so I didn't know it was still happening. I don't have the money in cash right now and I have to get these projects done for school so I'd rather not go down to the bank. Like I said, if you want we can use my credit card to pay, then you don't have to worry about losing your money. I don't mean to belittle you or the research you've done on this, but like you said, we've got six days. A few minutes to tell me the answers to the planning-related questions I've asked wouldn't hurt.
Sunday, 08-Apr-12 18:29:52 UTC from web -
!vancouverbronies I certainly wouldn't be averse to it being in the evening after the Fan Expo stuff. I'm supposed to have an RPG session in the afternoon that I'll skip if necessary (I'd rather have to skip it than miss this), but if I didn't have to that would also be cool. But whatever works for more people, of course.
Sunday, 08-Apr-12 16:23:53 UTC from web-
@tequilasunrise !bcbronies If we can find somewhere that'll let us do it after 7:00 when the convention ends, and if our island buddies won't have a problem with it (might be tight timing catching the last ferry) I think that might be the best option, time-wise.
-
-
!vancouverbronies Hey I am trying to help with this one, Mike we are making a monthly, this thing is happening in two weeks, From today. I believe its the 21st of April. I need money by the end of this week. phone me (604 760 5579) or email me at b.j_ferguson [at] hotmail [dot] com, for when I can come pick it up, it will be like 5 dollars because we will include drinks, if there is left overs, then we will hand it back or get foods as well for everyone.. I need the money before this Saturday, so please please contact me, I don't want this to fall through. On giving me the money you will receive a ticket and will be given priority seating, if you don't have a ticket and show up..... you get in if there are seats left. I do not do this to be mean but to be fair if you help pay for the room, then you should get a seat. Lets get this rolling, so in the words of a certain muscle bound pegasus " YEAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!"

@redenchilada Some things will forever be a mystery. @mushi I'm a year older than you.
-
@echron1000 If I promise you I'm going, I will probably show up between 9:30-9:45, because that's when transit lets me arrive (maybe earlier, idk). If it's 9:55 and I'm not there, chances are I won't show up.
-
!bcbronies Also, there's a pretty damn big Abbotsford brony Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/groups/236836906360316/ If you're in the area and use FB, maybe check it out.

!Bcbronies Right-o. I added myself to the http://www.facebook.com/groups/359859357399707/360945623957747/ page just 'cause I founded this group, but I don' use Facebook much and I'm wondering if another very active member of this group who likes using Facebook and doesn't mind being in a new active group would like to represent us.

!vancouverbronies Out of curiosity, are there any other Langara students here?
Wednesday, 04-Apr-12 21:06:52 UTC from web-
@jerzmacow I'm not, but if you're taking business (specifically organizational behaviour I think) you might have my dad as a teacher.
-
@bronymike ORLY now? I'm in Comp Sci... I've been avoiding the business courses because they look incredibly boring. It's worth mentioning that if I can find a few other langara students, we can form a 'club' and book one of rooms (along with the huge kiwi projectors) for a say. Assuming !vancouverbronies aren't a rowdy bunch that would would stand out in a college, it would make a great meeting place. I've done that a few times for lan parties (just don't tell anyone).

@toksyuryel Hey, I mostly just use it when planning stuff with the Vancouver Bronies and whenever people say my name. I advertise the heck outta this place, though, and consider it the most accessible brony chat community.

@bronymike Wish more people like you would join up ☺ we need to get like, Glaze and Mic and Tombstone on here, etc.

@bronymike yup. RDN is a great place to chat. Thanks for all the publicity. newponies keep this place interesting

!bcbronies @garyoak yeah i'd be down for couch surfing or what ever, also whens this expo thingy i'd like to go.
Sunday, 01-Apr-12 06:00:16 UTC from web-
!bcbronies I would like to voice this concern and hopefully set some relevant ground rules right now regarding Fan Expo. The season finale is airing that Saturday. People will be busy that Saturday with the con. If you see the episode during the Saturday, do NOT bring it up during the con that day, most of us likely have not seen it yet. Most of us, however, will probably have time to watch it that night or before the con on Sunday, so some discussion will be fair game on Sunday. Does this sound fair to people? Also, be mindful that John Delancie's there chiefly for his role as Q and that Discord is just a minor thing he's done. He'll surely be fine signing pony stuff, but just don't overwhelm him too much.
-
!vancouverbronies @bronymike I will have my netbook at fan expo. I'm sure we can find somewhere with wifi to watch the episodes. I would just need someone to bring external speakers as mine are not that great on the netbook itself. We would also need a place where they would let us use speakers. What time are the episodes playing?
-
@tjdetweiler !bcbronies As I said, we don't know the schedule yet, so we can't really plan a specific meetup time/place. At PAX, what we did (Which worked quite nicely) is we set an area and a certain portion of time (~11:30-1:00 or something) when people could come and go, based on panels they wanted to attend. Feel free to get twenty people crowded around a netbook and watching the episodes (I believe both parts of the finale are airing the same day), but I'd rather hang out and chat and maybe have lunch for half an hour or so, then get back to the convention and watch it on a big ol' screen when I get home. Conventions tend to be kinda noisy, and unless we can find somewhere we can watch it at a reasonable volume (and perhaps on a decent-sized screen) where we're not going to be bothering people, I still say watching the episodes after the con is a better idea. If we can rent out a room with a projector somewhere or something, I might be game though.

Hey, !Vancouverbronies, if any of you live in or around the Port Coquitlam area and want your own copy of the Friendship express I found it for sale(10.99) at my local Grocery Store "Coopers" off coast meridian rd/prairie avenue. Original Derpy in it :)
