• Discussion: Conventions and Meetups

    by
    There are hundreds of anime/video game/ect conventions going on all across that plenty of bronies will probably plan on attending.  Instead of creating 20 different posts, Lets build some correlations right here!

    So the topic of discussion this time: In the comments below, drop a convention you plan on attending.  With any luck, we will have multiple people attending specific ones who can meet up and geek out about how tyrannical Celestia is behind the scenes, or the number of freckles on Applejacks face.

    Also have some Rainbow Dash Cosplaying as Altaïr....which fits WAY better than it ever should.

      I'll be at ACen in Chicago, and I'll have one of them fancy Rainbow Dash pin that Darkly_Cute was making and junk. So hopefully I'll see some of y'all there.

      I'll also possibly be at Youmacon in Detroit and Tsubasacon in Huntington, WV. Dunno where else at this point.

      Hope to meet up with some of y'all at those places.

      Well... I doubt there are gonna be any conventions in Austria. They arn't well known for their geeks or nerds.
      But I'd totally go to a convention if it'd be close to me.

      There's always My Little Pony Fair, the annual MLP collector's convention in the U.S. This year it's being hosted at the Hasbro headquarters in Rhode Island on July 8th and 9th! (Click my name for the Fair's website)

      Hasbro will be heavily involved, offering tours, panels, even fun stuff like a catered lunch and an ice cream social. If ever there was a good opportunity to give Hasbro an earful, it'd be there. The Fair is flooded with an adult demographic already (namely collectors, customizers, etc.), so adult fans of FiM would fit right in. The adult skew would also help in having Hasbro take input and feedback more seriously, since it's not a kid-oriented event.

      Just an idea!

      Alright, so every year an Otaku/Anime convention is held at the Baltimore Convention Center, The dates for this year are July 29-31. http://www.otakon.com/ Thousands of people go, and it's one of the largest conventions like this in the US.

      This year, I'm going to organize a Brony meetup there, for all the Bronies who are attending. I have yet to decide where and when the meetup will take place, but I will post an update here when I figure that out: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/chat/res/31815.html

      I'm also probably going to print out a bunch of stickers and magnets and stuff for the bronies who do show up, just as a little kindness gift.

      Just postin here :3

      If we can get a bunch of bronies to go to several specific locations on several specific dates it would be optimal. Otakon and Comicon are good places and portland could work at a decent level if we get enough people.

      It's a pretty small convention, but there's a Denny's, Starbucks, and a food court nearby, so there would be plenty of spots to hang out at!

      I'm planning to go to PAX near the end of the summer, if any bronies are attending. It's a pretty huge game convention, I'd say, and it's in Seattle. Usually it's in very early September, but if I recall correctly, this year it's in mid-late August.

      Also, I was hoping to meet with some bronies this year at Anime Evolution up in Vancouver, but I hear they may not be doing it this summer. If anybrony knows any other cons happening (perhaps in its place) in the Vancovuer area, please mention it.

      Somehow, having been an otaku for ages (about ten-plus to be exact) and going to an anime/manga con to geek-out with ponies seems rather odd. Awesome, but odd.
      We need some pony-centric cons that occur through-out the year and cater to all demographics/ages/ponies/fairies/dragons/White-hot-intensity Celestia/etc.
      Who knows, maybe it'll allow me to find other ponies without having to blast Twilight's "The Elements of Harmony: Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, Magic!" as I walk down the street or somewhere else.
      True story, I was walking down the street the other day while listening to 'Night of Pony', Twilight said the line, and two younger girls instantly turned around in their driveway looking at me. Didn't say anything, but had an 'OMGPONIEZ' look.
