• Huge Oregon Brony Meetup

    by
    Organizers: Nathan on the Left in front, PK on the Right
    On Thursday, June 30th well over twenty bronies descended upon Guardian Games in Portland, OR to partake in the first big meetup for that area.

    Various fan artists, fic writers and fans of all kinds came together to watch episodes, talk shop and share in the community from 1-5pm. Among the things featured were a Jeopardy-esqe trivia game made in flash, iron-on shirt decals, and hot off the press fan art. One of the biggest highlights of the event was a Q&A sessions with Eurobeat Brony via Skype in which he confirmed that he will be doing a remix of Singing Telegram, the song featured in the episode Party of One!

    More pictures can be found here.

      Oh, hey look, my picture is on equestria daily! lol. Awesome. and yeah, that interview with Eurobeat Brony was pretty cool. Turns out he likes Vinyl Scratch out of all the music ponies (you know, Lyra, Octavia, Scratch... I'm sure there's more, but yeah).

      I'm the guy in the hat. you know the one.

      oh god, why must the majority of bronies be so socially awkward and creepy? this is exactly why i choose to remain anonymous, because i don't want to be associated with any of the people in that picture

      You can tell they're all socially awkward just by looking at them? You should become a profiler!

      and dat suite.

      @BagOfChips
      well lets use our very limited judgment go left to right, top row first,

      Guy in green- shrugging away, on the side and in the back with. Also one hand in pocket is pretty much the most obvious way to tell someone your socially awkward

      Dark Green Hoodie - holding a pen in his mouth? really? socially awkward

      Button up shirt with green under- Looks to be very average and regular person, but decides to pop up a crazy face because he doesn't know how to take a good picture, still could be very either or.

      Guy in back with facial hair - tall so he went to the back and takes a regular photo, not socially awkward

      Next guy - regular photo but seems to take care of himself very poorly implying he doesn't get out much, likely socially awkward

      Leather jacket - Very regular looking other than the smile but it could be a camera issue or whatever,not socially awkward

      Next guy in back - Looks good to me

      next guy in back - looks good to me

      Ginger - looks good to me

      Girl in glasses - no smile whatsoever, likely socially awkward, but your so close! put a smile on!!!

      Guy with baseball hat on - looks good to me

      Person in rainbow hat - stop hiding, somewhat awkward

      Next girl - definitely an off the wall personality, cant tell if awkward or not since that personality is really difficult to define the source motivation

      Guy in blue - looking down with no smile whatsoever, slouching, socially awkward

      Next guy - looks good to me

      FRONT ROW (still left to right)

      Black - looks good to me

      Red/gray - off the wall personality but not socially awkward

      Next guy - first glance i say he is socially awkward, the more i look at you i'm convinced your not.

      Guy in suit - If your the organizer than i guess its ok, if your not; REALLY? im guessing your not the organizer due to the ridiculous amount of effort you took to look as fancy as you could, so im classifying you as awkward.

      Totals
      Socially Awkward - 7
      Not Awkward - 10
      N/A - 2

      So there it is, with VERY limited resources we can tell the majority is not socially awkward based on this picture alone, hardly scientific due to the minuscule data but the numbers are there. Socially awkward people definitely stand out more so than others so that's why it appears they are in higher number, but bronies, we're not all that socially awkward! not that its a terrible thing, just something many of us don't want to be associated with.

      Oh and sorry for the ridiculously long post

      i'm pretty sure i'm gonna get a lot of hate for this >.> what with the defining people off of one picture,
      don't take this as a bad thing por favor >.<

      TLDR: less socially awkard than non-awkward bronies

      I just should state for the record that I tend to like socially awkward people. They tend to be a lot more fun to hang out with than "normal" folks.

      You're pretty picky. I don't think you can tell half as much as that about a person based solely on their appearance, especially from just a single photo :P
      Remember the aesop from Bridle Gossip, lol

      I'm the guy in the suit... Also known as the only one who took out his camera. I didn't dress up for the event, I just don't have much non-classy clothing. It only takes about two minutes to put on a suit if you know what your doing.

      I also find it amusing that you defined me by my shirt.

      Bronies shouldn't judge ANYONE by their appearance.
      Martin Luther King said it best, judge a person absed on the content of their character.

      .....and yes, I think if he were alive today, he'd be a Brony.

      I love how I (Vinyl Scratch) got 'off the wall but still unknown'. Was it because I hit you guys with chairs when you got our Jeopardy questions wrong? :P I don't normally do that.

      I'm the "girl in glasses". XD Smiling for the camera is very awkward for me, and it felt like I was smiling a little, but apparently not. XP I do not deny being socially awkward, though, lol.

      I don't get you guys. Maybe I just have low standards, but in the pic in this post, most of the guys seem normal *and* attractive. (To my great surprise. Because: yeah, anime conventions.)
