Back to business as usual ladies and gents! As that entails me never knowing what to use for a header let's get back into taking suggestions for Roundup headers, eh? Suggest a header down in the comments and I'll pick whichever is most popular!
Anyhow, now that the fires around EqD are put out for the day let's dive into the news shall we? Also, I'm going to try my hardest to try and get the Roundups a little earlier as people seemed to like that idea last night when I actually posted before midnight. We'll see how it goes!
WTVY Reports on Las Pegasus Unicon
Our favorite local news ponies are at it again with another report on fandom happening as they air a report on Las Pegasus Unicon. The report doesn't actually talk about the drama that went down over the weekend and instead just presents that we exist and that we recently had a convention. For the full scoop check out the link below.

Switzerland National News Report on Ponies
All right, apparently everyone is reporting on ponies today. Switzerland's national news ran a small segment on ponies that you can find on their site down below. I can't understand it, but it's cool nonetheless!

German Meetup
Copy Paste:
On February 9th, 2013, the "No More Fairytales!"-Party took place in Burscheid, Germany (that's rather close to Cologne).
Four Bronies, one Pegasister and one Brony's fiancée organized a party for about 55 people, including live band, DJ,
selfmade buffet and 'toomuchfun'. Background is, these six people all had their birthdays in January, so they tossed the
parties into one pool. Fun fact: two guest had their birthdays just the day before and another Brony's birthday was spot
on this day! Enough reason to go all in!

Radford Bronies
Copy Paste:
The Radford Bronys are holding a Midnight Bowling meetup in Christansburg, VA.
We would love for ANY brony in the Roanoke/New River Valley area to join us for fun,
bowling, food, and candy! Costs are $35 a lane, with a max of 8 people per lane. So if
we can get 8 per lane that's about $4.50 per person!
All are welcome!
Dayton Meetup
Copy Paste:
So, I have created the scene 75 meet up. It is the largest indoor entertainment center in the country! So, April 13th is the date I have planned (due to an EXTRA heads up so more people can go!). It's in Dayton, so there's an even amount of driving for Columbus and Cincinnati bronies. Their website can be found here. Time: 4pm! till whenever. I havent been to Scene 75 for about a year, so I wanted to go again and thought, why not make it an event. There is no fee to walk into the door, however, each item costs differently. For your eating pleasures, there is a Bar & Grill inside the building (though it is a bit pricey), however there are TONS of restaurants near by that we could decide on attending afterword. For your evening events (just in case your not ready to go home) there is a club in Dayton that is pretty amazing. As for hotels, there are a ton of them, I know of a couple that price about 64 for two people. Let me know who all is attending so I can give the owners a heads up a weekend before.
There is no entry fee!
Here is some pricing for everyone to have a heads up on what they would like to do.
