The season 6 premiere is happening in just under a week, and boatloads of meetup groups have events planned to view it. About a week ago, we asked you all to send whatever events you had planned, and this will be the post for those.
You can still submit yours if you missed the shoutout, and they will be added to the list. If you know of one, get permission and fire it off.
For submission infos, hit up this post.
And get your meetups below!
Since almost no one followed the template, I'm just going to dump these and bold the locations. You can find all relevant information within.
NOTE: None of these have been vetted. Use your own discretion if you plan to attend one. Call beforehand, and make sure it's something you feel comfortable with. EQD is not responsible for bad experiences.
Portland, Oregon
Time: 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM with a reshowing of the new episode at 11:00 AM (we can stay as late as 9:00 PM if we all want)
Rules: With the exception of water, there are no food or drinks allowed in the theater! Please leave any food or drink that's not water on the tables just outside the theater. No homemade food is allowed due to liability. Alternatively, you may stand just outside the theater doors and eat as long as you're not inside the theater.
Description: We're in Building 3, Room 114. Look for signs labeled "Forum/Theater" You can find more information at this link: http://meetu.ps/e/Bn3TH/pgXfP/d
Doors open at 8:00 am and the show will start as soon as everything's set up. We will be re-showing the premiere at 11:00 am for those who could not make it early in the morning.
In between screenings, we can watch whatever else we want to, whether its other episodes, fan-made works, or movies; the choice is up to us!
PARKING IS FREE ON SATURDAYS!!! Directions: Follow the campus road all the way back to the second stop sign and turn right. Follow the signs for "Forum" and park in any space that doesn't have a line in front of it or is labeled "Staff Parking". Building 3 is straight back into the campus and the Forum is on your left.
For those of you who are bus-bound, you're looking to take either 47, 52, or 67. Walk to building 9 and then turn right and walk all the way back to the back of the campus. The path will curve to the left a bit - follow that curve and you will see building 3 on your right (and building 7 on the left). Enter the doors in building 3 on the first floor. There should be a sign that says "Forum/Theater" above the door and an outdoor staircase on the right hand side.
You may bring food, but it cannot be homemade (for liability reasons - their rules; not mine) thus it has to be bought from a store or a restaurant and it will have to stay on the tables outside the theater. I advise that you label it and/or watch over it so that it doesn't get cleaned up by accident.
I look forward to seeing you all there! It's going to be a lot of fun!

Harrisburg, North Carolina
My Little TBNC (Team Brony North Carolina) Season 6 Premier
Starts at 10am, be there by 11am
Rules:
1) Keep it family friendly for the most part due to the presence of younglings.
2) When the premier is on, limit talking except for commercials; kind of hard to catch the important bits if everyone's yapping over one another.
3) The host (Jacob K) will have to leave for work in the afternoon, so everyone clear out 2 hours beforehand.
Description: Season 6 is unexpectedly around the corner, though that shouldn't stop us from preparing for its glory. As tradition, prepare yourselves for fun, ponies, dank memes, and a follow-up get together at Concord Mills.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
CR Bronies Meetup #43 Season 6 Beginning!
6:00
Rules: We usually draw in young adults but that does not mean that is an invitation to act in a less mature matter. We enjoy having fun but usually try to keep the conversations and actions PG-13 at best. Just be respectful of others.
A NOT SO regular meetup at the usual place. Should be starting to warm up a bit by the end of March so we will be using our main meetup place, Warehouse 13. Just in case, you are welcome to bring a plugin heater. Bring food, drink and other fun stuff to do. We will be setting up a projector to watch the new season on. Hope to see you all there. Be sure to check out our Facebook for updates and directions. https://www.facebook.com/CrBronies/

Esslingen am Neckar/Baden-Württemberg/Germany
Meetup Name: Big-Screen-Meetup at Lazi-Academy Esslingen
Time: 26.02.2016, begins around 14:30 pm CET
Rules: Entry fee 10€, everyone who is a Bronies e.V. member pays no entry fee. Food/drinks are provided, so you don't have to bring anything, however if you want to, we won't stop you.
Anything alcoholic isn't allowed!
If possible, bring some dishes (plate, cutlery, a glass) for yourself, the location just doesn't have enough for that amount of people.
To make it easier for us to organize the meetups in the area from now on, we're using a different system for registrations now, including a registration form as well. May sound really serious, but it's really not, it just helps with the planning.
All the information about this can be found here: click!
(the link above is all german, but since this meetup is in germany, that should be no problem)
If you wanna come and can't speak german, that won't be a problem, most of us speak english and we're watching the episodes in english as well. In that case, just write us a mail at either DodgeThunderstorm(at)yahoo(dot)com or RockingScorpion91(at)hotmail(dot)com and we will gladly answer any questions you have and give you an english version of the registration form as well.
The deadline for any new registrations or pulled back registrations as well is the 24.03.2016 (Thursday). We also have a limit of 40 people at the meetup, so if you wanna come, don't waste any time.
Two more rules: be on your best behaviour and of course have lotsa fun at the meetup, we'd be happy to see you there. :D
Description:
What better way to start a new season than watching the new episodes on a big screen?
For the start of season 6 we got a pretty sweet location this time where we have an actual theatre to watch the episodes, plus another room which is also equipped with a beamer, a sound system and all the fancy stuff.
There will be card games, board games, video games such as My Little Karaoke and much more. Food is provided, and we also have a kitchen there, meaning we will have pizza later in the evening.
So if you don't have anywhere to go yet for the start of the new season and are in the area of Baden-Württemberg/Germany (or willing to visit another country because of the occasion), join us here in Esslingen to meet a bunch of other fans, to watch the new episodes in style and of course, to have fun. :D

(8) The store has a significantly large collection of MLP Comics and merchandise if you feel like adding to your own collection : )
