I've gotten some demands for Doctor Whooves as a header for the Roundup and I'm happy to oblige! I really need to get back into Who myself now that I've gotten a taste of it.
On to the news! Tons of it tonight, especially meetups. Looks like I wasn't the only one who wanted to go to the theater this weekend.
Tonight's Stories
MLP Fan Fiction Documentary Update
Some news on the Fan Fiction documentary for you all tonight. Despite some setbacks they should be able to show you all some of what they have at Everfree!
Good day fellow Equestrian Thespians,
Piquo Pie here with a update to the MLP Fan fiction Documentary 2013. There were a few moderate setbacks so the documentary will be doing a final release Late July/Early August. However we will still have a early screening at Everfree NW where the audience can give feedback.
In the mean time this fan fiction author interview with Jake the Army Guy, author of Under a Luminous Sky and Finding Your Place, has been released including his recounting of having a knife pulled on him for wearing a brony shirt. This interview follows the format for the extended interviews with each author from the documentary which will be released at a later date. Obviously some additional content and editing will be used in both the documentary and the extended interviews.
If people like these interviews I will continue reaching out to speak with various authors. Please leave your opinion of the interview so that I may better future endeavors.
Have a smileriffic day!
-Piquo Pie
Laugh, Ponyacci, Laugh Song Set to the Comic
The Ponyacci song we posted earlier has been set along with the comic thanks to our own EqD commenter Jordan and another Youtuber! The first version is his while the other belongs to the other Youtuber.

Rarity Joins Sonic Invasion
Rarity has decided to try her hoof at Sonic Invasion, joining Twilight in her quest to stomp on robots and save innocent creatures. I'm surprised Fluttershy wasn't the first character considering all the animals that need to be saved. Check out the video below!

Brony gathering for the new movie Equestria Girls Edmonton alberta June 23 2013
Idaho EqG Meetup
"Today was a momentous occasion! A large migration of bronies made 3 & 1/2 hour journey from the Boise area all the way out to Pocatello leaving early in the morning to catch the 12:00pm showing. Combined a healthy turnout from the ISU Brony Club who held a pre-movie tailgate, we had a total group size in the 40's, and we dominated the theater! All bronies were well behaved, with applause saved for the credits. After the theater let out, we met in the parking lot and then we went to a local park to shoot some hoops! The out-of-towners won! Equestria Girls, was a great movie, and we highly recommend it to almost any fan of the show. This was a day that we shall remember for quite some time to come!"

Oakland County Bronies See EqG
After several members met up at a local theater for an early showing of Equestria Girls, many of the Oakland County Bronies gathered at Firefighter's Park in Troy, Michigan for their Summer Sun Celebration on June 21st.
Fun and games ensued, including frisbee throwing and catching, Euchre playing, and some radical dancing by a few. Old and young alike were represented at the park. Pony baked goods were brought which included Dr. Whooves, Cheerilee and Vinyl Scratch patterned frosted cupcakes, as well as some 'from-scratch' blueberry muffins! (Derpy was elated)
Pizza and grilled hot dogs were the mane fare, as well as a constant stream of Pony music. The weather was warm and humid, but the Pegasi were faithful in keeping the group high and dry for the day!

North Texas Bronies EqG Meetup
It was worth the 2 hour drive to tyler texas, as most of the bronies travel from the dfw area, and couldn't put into words that the movie was AMAZINGLY AWESOME!! (The End of the Credits was the BEST THING EVER!) No Spoilers here but lot you'll see lots of references from past MLP Gen 4, humanize background & main ponies, and of course pinkie pie being pinkie pie nuff said. Great movie and great time at the end it'll be worth watching it again.

Heroes of Newerth Ponies
Hello EQD! I am Sweetie_Bell as known as on the online gaming sensation Heroes of Newerth and such. I am the leader of the Brony clan Pony Squad (Pon3) which is currently always recruiting! That's right, we are looking for all Bronies playing this game to chat with and play in general silliness all around being apart of the fandom. No Skill Required. You must be a Brony, there is a test to confirm it (just to keep out trolls). We use Team Speak 3 for communication and play regularly everyday. Our goal is to become the largest Brony clan on Heroes of Newerth, because there is already a larger one...but it has strayed long and far away from true Brony culture plus all they talk about is r34 :P . SO yes! Please help us make our goal come true! For conctact and invites players should message Sweetie_Bell , thelowcod , or TwilightSpkl.
