!vancouverbronies So I'm curious... Does anyone locally have any active involvement with this BronyCan that is meant to be "in BC" this year? As someone who has run 2500+ person conventions in the past, something just seems 'off' about this. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I would love to find out more.

@spectrumflash !bcbronies Not to mention they went to Indiegogo just to get their funding... proving they have no money in the first place. They also already received a C&D from Hasbro for using copyrighted characters on their site. To make things worse, only 1 out of their staff actually has a source of income and most of the staff are very young. (teenage young)

@jackzhang !bcbronies That's the other thing. I have never seen a convention financed that way. Money comes from organizers taking a risk and putting their own in (often protected by a legal organization such as a LLC - at least in the US), registration fees, dealer table fees, and potentially anything the convention can produce to sell. The idea is that what you make in fees and sales should be enough to a) pay for this year's costs, b) support you for the next year and c) give you base to start on for the next year. With the way this BronyCan looks like it's going, being so secretive about where and when it is, considering it's meant to be 'in BC in 2013', I am skeptical that they will get enough memberships to keep themselves afloat for next year. Canada has a much lower population than the US, and to come into Canada from, say, mid-west to east coast, people need to organize travel plans fairly early on to get decent fares.

@spectrumflash !bcbronies It probably won't even fly this year. Their Indiegogo is the yay or nay for going ahead with the con. If they don't get to their goal, they're pretty much not doing it. They're secretive because they're figuring out as they go. Instead of pre-planning, they're doing stuff then planning. Case in point, they made the announcements about the con before they even had a solid venue or revenue source.

@jackzhang news to me. Good thing I bought Hasbro. . . Just now.
-
@jackzhang !vancouverbronies oh I didn't know any of that. I've been out of the loop for a while and just heard of this thing.
-
@redtie Yeah, the majority of the "popular kids" went to Facebook. Everything else kind of died. (or it's just everyone's in school right now) Unless Facebook goes away, that's where you have to be.

!bcbronies It doesn't look like there is interest for a movie night, we will default to Games Night TNG for Dec 1st unless people really want a movie night for some reason.

!bcbronies We are seeing if anyone would be interested in another post-meetup get-together for Dec. 1st. It would either be Games Night TNG or some form of Movie Night. We have Bad Movies, Monster Movies, and Lion King Night as ideas for Movie Night. Games Night TNG could start with COD Zombies. What do you want for the 1st?

!victoriabronies I'm the Special Events Coordinator for GottaCon, a broad-spectrum gaming convention held the first weekend of February at Pearkes Arena in Victoria. For GottaCon 2013, we want to do a panel on Bronies, Twilight Fans, Furries, and other fandoms that tend to get a hard time, even from within the nerd/geek community. If any one is interested in sitting on this panel, please get in touch with me. We would love to have people from the local Bronies group.
Friday, 16-Nov-12 23:43:35 UTC from web-
@masterotaku I don't do Facebook. Would you mind e-mailing me? specialevents [at] gottacon [dot] com Then we can talk about this more. Also, names for other people who you think would be willing to sit on the panel would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
-
@geekyjules Sure I'll get the words out and get back to you - in the meantime I'll just shoot you an email so you can contact me easier.
-
@masterotaku Appreciated :)

!bcbronies To those that were at the Nov 4th meetup, you may remember I was gonna bring a non-brony friend to the meetup. He couldn't make it that time (wouldn't have been exciting anyways since AE was on) so he's asking if he could come this Saturday. Once again, he's very open and curious, and will be respectful to not judge or offend.

!bcbronies The video for the premiere screening reactions is done. Same procedure as last time. Ask @tesla500 for a copy from his server or come to the meetup with a laptop since I have it on disc.
Wednesday, 14-Nov-12 06:41:54 UTC from web -
!bcbronies Just a reminder, there will be A camera pointing at the audience at the screening. No BronyMike cam cause he's not showing up.

!bcbronies The prices for Rasoee if anyone's interested is $7 for a wrap without sides and $8 for a Curry with rice without sides. 2 Curries on rice without sides is $10.
Friday, 09-Nov-12 17:11:59 UTC from web -
!bcbronies I'm heading to Rasoee (an modern Indian restaurant/takeoutplace by the library) right by the Library for lunch on screening day. Address for the place is 320 Robson St. It's right beside the Library. If you're interested in lunch before the screening and in joining me, I recommend coming for lunch at Noon, then moving from there to inside the library for the screening.

!vancouverbronies Screening location is the Peter Kaye room in the VPL

!bcbronies Now, if I made Karaoke videos of pony songs and we played them at the screening, would you sing along? (And this is full on with scrolling words)

@redenchilada !bcbronies Johnny, please tell this guy why: "ReDash @fang8989 Please don't. People are bad at singing and I highly doubt anyone wants to hear people butchering the song they love."

!bcbronies Just a heads up, I may bring a non-brony friend (He's very open and curious, and will be respectful to not judge or offend) to the meetup this Saturday. Hoping this is OK with everyone. Just refrain from using anything inappropriate while he's with us, please. (No, seriously.)
Monday, 29-Oct-12 20:09:43 UTC from web -
!bcbronies Yes, EQD posted a Telesync Cam Screener from Cable On-demand of the first 8 mins of the Premiere. Please don't discuss this at the meetups. We're under two weeks away from the episode and screening, and people don't want to be spoiled.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 16:18:44 UTC from web -
!bcbronies Those coming to the meetup "today," we may have an unofficial brainstorm session of ideas to do for our screening. Participation is optional.
