 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/250&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;&amp;#x2605;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;starshine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; It's more than a meetup. It's a convention. We have an actual venue, with 7000 square feet of space just for us. We have guests Jayson Thiessen and Sethisto. We have almost 100 RSVPs already. This isn't just &amp;quot;a meetup&amp;quot;. It's THE meetup. Ask anypony who was at BroNYCon June. And this is going to be a good deal bigger and a LOT more awesome. I do plenty to promote other meetups. I maintain &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bronies.com/&quot; title=&quot;http://www.bronies.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow external&quot;&gt;www.bronies.com&lt;/a&gt;, I encourage the formation of other meetup groups, I routinely pimp the new meetup groups on EquestriaDaily, and occasionally I even sponsor out-of-town groups monetarily. Without me, there would be three organised meetup groups (NYC, Portland and Seattle/Tacoma).</html>
