Tonight's Stories
Ponies in Finnish Street Culture Publication
Ponies popped up in this Finnish magazine called Iso Numero! Here's a rough translation:
(Panel 1)
Rainbow Dash: Horsie friends! Wonderful surprises! This year's the year of the horsie!
AJ: Eek!
Pinkie: Eek!
Fluttershy: Eek! What does it mean?
(Panel 2)
Rainbow Dash: It means that horsies get to rule over things!
Pinkie: Yippee! Let's throw a party and invite everyone!
AJ: Everyone's gonna love spending the year of the horsie!
(Panel 3)
Twilight: But... Do we have to invite the unemployed as well?
Somepone (probably Pinkie): Of course! Why not?
Twilight: There's 200 000 of them and they've got no money to pay for their own drinks!
(Panel 4)
Twilight: And also, they can be real NEGATIVE!
Pinkie: Eek! The atmosphere's gonna be in ruins!
(Panel 5)
Fluttershy: What about the economic elite? Without them the party's gonna be scanty, but they're even more negative!
Rarity: They whine about us not doing any work!
(Panel 6)
Rainbow Dash: AND THEN WE HAVE TO INVITE THE POLITICIANS AND GUESS HOW NEGATIVE THOSE GUYS ARE?
(Panel 7)
Fluttershy: Sniff! The year of the horsie is complete bullshit!
Rarity, AJ and Pinkie: Eek! The negativity infected Fluttershy!

Tonight's Successful Meetups
Inland Empire Bronies Meetup
On March 8th 2014 The Inland Empire Bronies held another successful meet up. This time they ventured to Moreno Valley in Southern California. Round One Entertainment and Bowling Center was the ultimate destination. About 20 or so of them amassed for gaming and karaoke. After all the fun they grew hungry and descended on to a local Denny's for a late night dinner.

Tonight's Podcasts and Blogs
The Harisay Brothers Review of 'The Crystal Empire, Part II'
One review to scorn an empire. One review to despise it.
One review to cover 'The Crystal Empire,' and in the darkness smite it.
This is a review/analysis unlike anything you've ever seen. We, The Harisay Brothers, pull out all the stops and drop so much impeccable, inarguable critical spite that it can't be contained within the length of a single episode.
We announce flaws no one has ever spotted before. We proclaim Cadance as a voodoo shark. We even call bull shit on the scary door. Joseph expounds the greatest "King Sombra Sucks" rant ever put to film, and Christian makes the bold argument that the worst thing about not only 'The Crystal Empire,' but the entire series has been Twilight's test. And both of us deliver some of the most explosive meltdowns that any brony has ever put into a video.
Enjoy... if you have the heart.
