@jackzhang !bcbronies I don't really see the need for a forum, but if you guys wind up making one, at least promise me that any events being planned will still at least be mentioned in detail on here.

!Vancouverbronies Whatever happened to that meetup blog someone made a few months ago?
Monday, 28-May-12 07:23:19 UTC from web-
@seanprice !vancouverbronies I guess it's not being updated. Honestly, a forum (that we own) works better for actual meetup stuff/planning. I know for a fact the local fur community has their own forum where they plan tons of stuff not usually publicly known.

!vancouverbronies Hey Ocean is on YTV right now.

!vancouverbronies and just as I posted that, through a youtube search I also found TwiQuest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3vUE30lVEk

!vancouverbronies Vancouver PINKIE/RARITYQUEST at Cos & Effect from August 24-26th it is! The Plan: To do exactly (and maybe more of) what PINKIEQUEST in Seattle did for PAX a while back, except here in Vancouver. We will need 2 giant printed out versions of Pinkie Pie and Filly Rarity with her horn dragging her to her destiny and we will do this for a whole day on the UBC grounds at Cos & Effect this year. To those unfamiliar with the Seattle PINKIEQUEST, see this Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IY9eyuZ7oE

!vancouverbronies Dead in the water again... 2nd time I've tried to organize it and it falls flat. If the two major organizers of the group disagree, there's no way we can get enough participation. I blame both the British tourism bureau and that live lipdub for me getting trying to get this back up and running. Heck, they had a IRL PINKIEQUEST in Seattle a while back.

@jackzhang !bcbronies Yeah, I was at that. It was at the same time as a major convention and was a pretty awesome time. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying I wouldn't be involved. Likewise I think the PNE Suits idea is stupid and I don't like paintball because it's too expensive. Doesn't mean I'm vehemently against them being done, I'm just saying to be careful about planning and that I probably won't be involved. Sorry I keep crapping on your plans. You've gotta explain what you mean by "flash mob" in more depth, though, since I think the term covers a fairly broad spectrum. Pinkiequest worked because it was done over a wide area, but each location just got it for a very short period. Most importantly, though, it was done under the banner of one of Seattle's biggest conventions, so instead of "Those obnoxious bronies", we would've been labelled "Those obnoxious geeks".
-
!vancouverbronies @jackzhang ya even if this idea takes off you can count me out, to me themed flash mobs like this are the epitome of obnoxious and i could never see myself being a part of one, not sure what everybody else's opinions on the matter are, so best of luck getting the numbers for this one dude
-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies So, I guess Cos & Effect would be a better place to do a Vancouver PINKIEQUEST or something similar. The PNE doesn't have as much walking room as UBC does, and it's the association thing.

!bcbronies When I was in high school I was the biiiiiiiggest hipster, all the time doing stuff "because it's cool" or "to confuse people", which is all fine and dandy, I just don't want the fandom's image becoming somehow endangered as a result. Point is, do what you want, just be careful. Also, I monologue too damn much on RDN, huh?
Monday, 28-May-12 01:58:50 UTC from web-
@bronymike Pff, I know a bunch of people who monologue on here more than you. Maybe not more per post, but definitely more overall.
-
-
!vancouverbronies Ok, scaling back, thinking about the PNE meetup, a more tame version of the PINKIEQUEST in Seattle might be something we want to attempt in addition to the suits. Any ideas?
Monday, 28-May-12 01:23:52 UTC from web -
!vancouverbronies Sorry guys, as of right now, this idea is dead again and remains just another wild thought in my head.
Monday, 28-May-12 01:06:04 UTC from web -
!bcbronies : I am with @bronymike on this one, Flash Mobbing is the farthest from keeping the peace. I don't mind having us being seen but that is quite different from forcing our hobby onto to people with a flash mob.
Monday, 28-May-12 00:49:58 UTC from web -
!bcbronies I still don't like flash mobs.
Sunday, 27-May-12 06:04:46 UTC from web-
@bronymike It's the one thing I can't get organized properly at the moment. Too many ifs, ands, and buts.
-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies Ask yourself "What would PinkiePie do"? I personally don't mind doing it as long as lot of bronies are there watching and enjoying it.
-
-
!vancouverbronies Preferably, the flash mob should happen the same day as the Season 3 premiere screening, those participating can then head directly to the screening.
Sunday, 27-May-12 00:24:14 UTC from web-
@balthazar !vancouverbronies I've personally wanted to do one for quite some time, then the idea came that we should plan it for the same day as the Season 3 premiere. Nothing is locked yet on that as I might have to talk to a few people about it.
-
@jackzhang !vancouverbronies Well I would totally be into that. I should really go to the meet ups. I don't know why I didn't go today.
-
@balthazar !vancouverbronies Most of the people decided to go to the paintball thing I'm assuming. there were only 4-5 core people left in the end. Next week might be bigger, IDK.

!vancouverbronies To those at the cafe meetup, this is what I envision our brony steadicam flash mob at Crab Park to be similar to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc1D7ZaQ51s
Sunday, 27-May-12 00:21:00 UTC from web -
!vancouverbronies where is everybody? not many paintballers at the moment.
Saturday, 26-May-12 19:46:29 UTC from web -
!bcbronies Hey, if anyone going to the paintball would be brave enough to take a pic or video with their phone or something (hopefully outside of the battlefield or in the middle of peace time) it would be cool to see some shots of the hangout. Maybe some of you could try painting a pony with the paintballs or something. I dunno.
Saturday, 26-May-12 07:10:52 UTC from web-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies Better yet, if anyone has a GoPro, BRING IT! That's for sure going to get good video of the place.
-
@bronymike hahaha, if anyone tried to "paint" a pony with the paintballs it would just obliterate it
-
-
!vancouverbronies Hey guys, I might be late coming tomorrow. Are you guys planning to leave early or something?
Saturday, 26-May-12 06:15:14 UTC from web-
@crusader !vancouverbronies Those going to paintball will be, but there are people not going to that. I know the people playing Magic might stay a while longer.
-
-
!vancouverbronies BTW, since EQD derped on getting the rest of the photos up, those attending the meetup tomorrow will see a short video of the photos with @bronymike's video for those that haven't seen it.
Saturday, 26-May-12 04:41:01 UTC from web -
!vancouverbronies How many people are going to be at the cafe tomorrow?
Friday, 25-May-12 20:12:46 UTC from web -
!vancouverbronies was just wondering of anybody is planning a carpool has a hotel room for ever free, I was going to drive and stay somewhere myself but I'm trying to see what my options are
Saturday, 26-May-12 01:42:13 UTC from web-
@underdogbassist !vancouverbronies I've been pondering the same question myself. Might end up trying to split a room.
-
@tequilasunrise And I totaly forgot about the whole "needing to sleep" part heh.. planning time...
-
-
!vancouverbronies This will sound kind of weird but whatever. I'm in this youtube channel with some friends and every week we have a topic. Next weeks topic is friendship so I was thinking of doing a video about how FiM brought people together and created friendships in Vancouver. So if I come on Saturday would you guys be ok with filming some stuff and getting you guys to say a few things to the camera?
Friday, 25-May-12 08:05:08 UTC from web-
@bronymike !vancouverbronies Alright thanks I'll keep that in mind.
-
@balthazar @bronymike !vancouverbronies Just don't film the staff and other patrons. For my news story that was the 1st unwritten rule that I followed.
-
@hunnybun !vancouverbronies there's a bunch of bronies from the island here :D i think there's like 6 of them or something.
Friday, 25-May-12 04:07:48 UTC from web-
@hunnybun it's a little too close to exams for me to drive up island right now. Maybe one day though :3
-

@110chi !Vancouverbronies No problem at all. I'm actually dragging along my non brony friend as well.

!vancouverbronies They snuck our thing into a Flash post. There's BronyMike's video link inside a thumbnail image of our adventure. No pictures of us on there though, just the video. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/05/flash-low-flier-happy-birthday-sibsy.html

!bcbronies Just an update on Operation SibsyCard, it all went off as well as it possibly could have. She was surprised and absolutely thrilled. Should be a post with a bunch of pics and the video I recorded up on EqD sometime tomorrow.
Thursday, 24-May-12 08:47:04 UTC from web -
!vancouverbronies Whoa, so much has happened since I was last here. Anything awesome coming up?
Tuesday, 22-May-12 20:41:07 UTC from web-
@yeah568 !vancouverbronies well, we're going paint balling on Saturday. Read all about it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZ38x34sjupo1IvfXQNes_1U1FpsvE_7p-lRh0NXoHQ/edit

!vancouverbronies T_T I wanted sign the card, but I had to go to a birthday party and miss the last meet-up
Monday, 21-May-12 21:10:17 UTC from web -
!bcbronies Just to get people up to speed, since there seems to be some sort of mystery going on: On Saturday people signed a large birthday card for Sibsy and a small group of us are hoping to meet at DHX and surprise her with it. We're in talks with some people at the studio to discuss the feasibility of this, though the smaller our group, the more likely we'll be let in to give her the card. As such, the group going to DHX is closed and locked, and I apologize to anyone who was hoping to attend. If we're denied access to the studio outright and we have some advance notice of such, we may open the meet up to some more people and meet with Big Jim at the cafe downstairs from DHX, though our preference would be to hand it over in person.

!bcbronies I'm in this Entrepreneurial IT course in university over the summer and as the main project, we need to essentially make a business and the groups get more profit based on their business' earnings. My group's making a company where we'll design websites for clients. Prices for this are based on the complexity of the site, and things that involve additional PHP coding, widgets, more professional themes, many pages, etc. would drive up the price, but we could probably make up a simple Wordpress site for $50-$100. So I'm wondering, if anyone thinks they'd be interested in a website, or if you know anyone who might be interested, drop a line to mshay@live.ca or bronymike@derpymail.com if you'd prefer. Sorry to advertise this here, but I've gotta get something done on this before I get to the next class, or I'm in trouble with the group. We just need to show the teacher that there's some amount of demand and that there are prospective clients so we can proceed with the project.

@bronymike I have to say that your number one threat is websites like Squarespace, since they offer both the software and the hosting. Wysiwyg editing isn't much help neither.

!bcbronies For those who plan to go on Wednesday; what time? For those who don't know; don't ask.

!vancouverbronies Got word from Jim, organizing the rest right now.

@gabemccoolriether !vancouverbronies The only time I have ever missed a weekly meetup, and it seems like I'm out of the loop on something big.
