    Okay, is this thing on? Are you- oh, good. I managed to escape from the laundry room! Phoe came in  to give me my daily Equestria Innovations Industrial Strength Brainwashing Fluid and Baby Formula and I managed to wrest her riding crop away and escape. I won't say where I'm writing this from, but-

    Oh, crap, I better get writing, I hear hoofsteps.

    Equestrian Inquirer Charity Drive 


    Copy and paste as per usual!

    The Equestria Inquirer is coming to Everfree Radio! Tune in this Wednesday at 7:00pm CST to see the latest episode, where Joe Stevens talks about the newest way Pinkie Pie will doom us all, and The Amazing TechRat attempts to out-do the Great and Powerful Trixie. Plus, Joe, TechRat, and BattlefieldBro will be in attendance to watch and chat along with the viewers. You can't miss this event. Pinkie Pie commands you! Also, our charity event is still going on. Until May 1st, all proceeds from the sale of "Joe Stevens Mocks A Llama" will be donated (and matched dollar for dollar by Joe himself) to the Free The Slaves foundation. Read a funny book, support a great charity, and support EQI. It’s a win-win-win!

    Heartwarming Donation

    Evilsugar donated this derpy plush to a boy with a mitral valve prolapse. Apparently, the boy is doing well and recovering from surgery and thoroughly enjoying his derpy plushie. I salute you, Evilsugar. Keep up that brony spirit!

    It Is a Delicious Cake, You Must Eat It


    Seth never lets me eat cake. Or... food, really. On the plus side, I always know how many ribs I have.

     Medicine Hat Bronies




    All the bronies in Medicine Hat got together for a mare-a-thon at a fellow peasister's place. We watched the newest episode as well as Winter Wrap Up, Lesson Zero, A Friend in Deed and Luna Eclipsed. After that, we had some pizza and cola, along with playing Smash Bros on an N64 and having some good talking and stuff. Extra props to the cat who provided us with some good laughs. --------------------------------------------------------------
    Bremen, Germany

     After meeting at the central station in Bremen we literally scavenged the whole town for some blindbags and other pony merch.Sadly there wasn't much to find.
    After about 3 hours of Pinkie approved sillyness we split up to watch "Iron Sky" at the nearest cinema or to visit a local funfair called "Osterwiesen".

    (Note from PK- the only thing that's in my head right now is the music the Bremen mask played in Majora's Mask.)

     Zurich, Switzerland

     A group of bronies met up in Zurich recently! Looks like a fun time.

    First Annual Trottingham Convention



    Surly a UK Brony first, things actually started a half hour early, with over 100 ponies flooding into the Hilton Hotel Nottingham at 12:00, after a few rushed minuets of having the technical operations set up, every pony was stunned into confused by our most odd introductory video, courtesy of Tabitha St Germain. The day was filled with activities Including our Cosplay Competition, Raffle , Pony Quiz , The Musician Q&A with Interrobang Pie , General Mumble , JackTHerbert and Glaze (WoodenToaster) and with music provided by our Friends at Everypony Radio.
    The day rounded up with us watching the MMMystery on the Friendship Express

    We hope everypony who came had a good time, despite the few hicups and hope to see even more at next years event.

    More photo's available on our Uk of Equestria thread.
    As well as video's when the video's have been properly edited and uploaded.

     Maryland

    This took place at the Colombia Mall in Columbia, Maryland. There was nothing written about it, so I'm going to imagine they arranged those kayaks into a rainbow and went down a river spreading friendship to the fish.

     Vacouver Bronies Fan Expo


    Fan Expo Vancouver is Saturday April 21st and Sunday April 22nd. Bronies will be meeting up and there are lots of cool special guests, like Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin), Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk), Michael Dorn (Worf), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), and most importantly John Delancie (Q/MLPFIM's Discord)! Buy a ticket and head on up if you're in the general area!

    Also we've also got a finale-screening planned! Daniel Ingram has shown some interest in watching the finale with some Vancouver fans, so we're going to see if we can get him on board as well. No guarantees, but we're going to try to pull some strings. The screening is tentatively timed for 6 or 7PM on the 21st at the Vancouver Library, to minimize scheduling conflicts with the convention. However depending on the schedules of Mr. Ingram (if he agrees) and Fan Expo itself (schedule not yet posted), we may move the viewing to earlier in the day. We're asking everyone to pay $5 at the door to help cover the rental cost. If you can confirm your then add yourself here to help us gauge attendance and plan accordingly! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FFWVZ9Z

    If you've got any comments or questions, let us know. http://rainbowdash.net/group/vancouverbronies Feel free to join the group too if you're in or near BC!
