First!
ReplyDeleteoh holy hell. I wish my local laser tag place did unlimited play.
ReplyDeleteI don't know but, I just don't go a feel for fanmeet places. Often times when I would go to previous Comicon/Furmeets and feel like I was watching Dateline NBC without Chris Hansen. I'm not saying everyone is a creep, its just, uncomfortable = /
ReplyDeleteDangit Chef! You beat me to it again XD
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Ridict, they do feel kinda awkward to be at. I'm cool with being a Brony and all, but I think I can celebrate my love for all things Pony either on my own or with the evil bastards who "helped" me to join the heard.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to mane event so bad. but i'm leaving for a cruise the day before :P i'll have to go to the next one (thats after the cruise)
ReplyDeleteCan girls be bronies? I wanna go!
ReplyDeleteSucks to be stationed in France, it'd be fun to see more bronies even if it's kinda awkward.
ReplyDelete@Rainbowslap
ReplyDeleteYes! Brony is a gender neutral term. I am a girl and I consider myself a brony.
Well I cant wait to see more bronies show up, I hope we manage to get more bronies than my last Meetup I hosted
ReplyDelete(BTW this is JWhoof who started the meetups in texas~)
I want to go to that Mane Event one... But I can't because I'm in central Texas and can't drive.
ReplyDeleteSAD
@DarklyCute/PinFilly
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Man us girls need our own classification!!
Over the Atlantic, in the middle of nowhere just around the corner of "I'm lost".. where bronies are a minority... DAMN!
ReplyDeleteBut still NAYC!
@JWhoof
ReplyDeleteHAI! How nice of you to do that... now start them in Serbia xD
Please don't take pictures during the meetups and upload them.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for some meetups in Maine.
ReplyDeleteBronies should just be formfans in general and not be male specific.
ReplyDeleteHum, not many east coasters here I guess and I stink at hosting stuff...
@Star Gazer
ReplyDeletethere are alot of meetup groups on the east coast just depends on where your from http://bronies.com/map/ it's the west that doesn;t have alot of groups
I would be able to go to the one in nj, but I don't really know what we would be doing. I wouldn't know anyone from that area, and we would probably just be talking. I don't know much about the fair though, maybe there will be entertaining things to do as a group.
ReplyDelete@Shidoshi
ReplyDeleteBah, there are oodles of us around. Surely you can't have missed the pony-related thread on danstonchat.fr? I'm sure that if we set up a meet you'd be pleasantly surprised. :)
I checked the map site and I can choose between either Edinburgh or Budapest, lol.
ReplyDeleteThis is co-founder of StreetPass OC, and I'll certainly be on our leader about having some kind of tandem Brony event.
ReplyDeleteIf you live in or around Orange County in California (preferrably North OC) and want to manage or help me manage an event, email me at [email protected]. I'm gone in San Francisco till the 24th, but I'll try to get back to you asap.
Well according to this site a brony is
ReplyDelete"Brony: A Term for everyone that jumped on the bandwagon with Friendship is Magic"
so "everyone" aka everypony constitutes any gender I would imagine.
I definitely had that confused myself. I always thought bronies were bro-ponies as in dudes and I guess girls would just be regular ponies? idk that's how my friends and I handled it. we call the boys bronys and the girls ponys.
I've heard or read I should say a few ladies calling themselves broniettes. but to me that kind of sounds like..brunette as in hair color. Regardless I knew what they meant.
Curious,
ReplyDeleteSeth/Cereal, are either of you going to BronyCon in Manehattan? <--creeper gonna creep moment.
Are any bronies going to Comic-con?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, et al...
ReplyDeleteWe will be at Comic Con. We usually have a fan table on the mezzanine on the second floor of the mane building, but this year, we missed the deadline. If any other bronies want to meet up, I will be by the Loscon fan table, wearing an MLPFiM t-shirt. at various times on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
If anyone else has something planned, let me know.

What, nothing for Oklahoma? Any Bronies out there in the OK area (preferably Rogers County) should consider contacting me about setting something up. I may be part of the younger portion of the Brony community (16), but I can still help out in planning date/time/place.
ReplyDeleteContact me at [email protected]
It's getting lonely out here in Oklahoma X|
What about San Diego? No bronies here?
ReplyDeleteAnypony planning on a UT meetup?
ReplyDeleteWhat about a meetup @ Otakon?
@S.
ReplyDeleteI most certainly did miss it, I'm up for a french brony meet up (that I'm hopefully available to go). I'm in Paris here.
PONIES? POLARIS? PONIES? i will go if work allows it!
ReplyDelete*ponders* I wonder if anypony in the Ithaca/Syracuse area would be interested in a meetup... I wonder if there's anypony in Ithaca TO meetup. :P
ReplyDeleteITHACA BRONIES REPRESENT?
UK Brony meet plz? Preferably in South Wales. Oh oh oh, I heard of a new name for girl Bronies... Pegasis! I like it :3
ReplyDelete@Shidoshi
ReplyDeleteI'm not in Paris but I can get there if needed. The issue would probably be in getting the word out to local bronies. I'm not sure many read EqD.
@S.
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem with most French people, they don't go too far outside their country for ponies or anything else, people are too patriocentric (new word?).
@Shidoshi
ReplyDeleteOh, TELL me about it. No offense intended to anypony involved, but yeah, from what I noticed, they are among those cultures with a tendency to, shall we say, keep their eyes turned inward.
Are you perchance going to EuroFurence in Germany this summer? There's going to be some broniness going there, from the look of things. I'm looking forward to it. :D
@S.
ReplyDeleteIt should be pretty expensive to go to Germany =P
I also don't know if I'd need too much eye bleach at a furry convention, you should really post it on the site, I'm sure there are some french/german bronies you haven't seen yet who would join it.
@Shidoshi
ReplyDeleteEh, in terms of eye bleach requirements, I found EF pretty similar to the pony world as a whole, actually: you know there's stuff somewhere out there, but it will generally stay out of your face if you don't go look for it. :)
There was already a pony thread on the EF forums, apparently a few people at least are in, although I suspect things will stay informal. Things will likely end up happening on their own around a pint of beer, as usual.
In the meanwhile, mebbe somepony will step up and get a meet started somewhere central (France being what it is, it'll probably be Paris). One can hope. :) I see you joined the Burgundy Brony group on that map; that's a bit far for me unfortunately.
WHY am I on vacation in America, not in the neighborhood of any brony meetups at the same time as the friggin DUTCH BRONY MEETUP! I wanna be there!
ReplyDelete(But I thought you wanted whining?)
Ik vrees dat ik geld heb om naar Amsterdam te gaan.
ReplyDeleteThere is no time indicated for the GTA/Toronto meetup
ReplyDeleteIf I am near, as a Truckin' Brony, I will come if there is a place for a 53 foot trailer.. hee. I really dont care what my company thinks about where I am as long as I get my freight there on time.
ReplyDeleteWhy is there no PAX prime meetup?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Just create one like I did for the Gamescom?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Otakon.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm new to MLP and even newer to Equestria Daily..
I'm too shy and scared to go to the meeting place ;;;;
@Greengrass:
ReplyDeleteJe vreest dat je geld hebt? Gaan. Gaan met die banaan. Huppekee.
@Sunbeamer
ReplyDeleteHey I know it's late but if you're still interested I'd be glad to help you set something up
