Pin the Tail on the Pony WIP! It's coming out so cute. Still have to make the tails and paint though.

****************************************

Yes, I am planning to hold my first California My Little Pony Meet!

When? May 19th, 2012 at Noon!

Events will include: lunch, custom contest, games and, of course, buying/selling!

This is my first meet, so I'm making the announcement now so I can easily prepare for the members who will come. The meet will be starting it 12:00 noon at my house. I will PM everyone who wants to attend with my address and directions as the date gets closer. I do have a few questions to ask those who are considering coming.

Custom Contest: I was originally planning on giving everyone a pony and a bag of random craft supplies to make a "May Flowers" themed custom. Do you like this idea? Or would more people prefer to make their own at home and bring it? Please let me know your thoughts.  Ribbons and prizes will be awarded for the top three.


I will need everyone who is planning to come to fill out the following form and PM it to me, so I kinda have some information.

Number of people (You and any guests you may bring):
*Are you under 18?:
Food allergies?:
Will you be selling?:

*Important note: If you are under the age of 18, PLEASE have permission by your parents to attend. The last thing I want is angry parents and upset members. I will assume that if you are attending and are under age, you have permission to be here.

I will update this post more later on, but just wanted to throw this out there so all you CA ponies could start planning. Sooo excited! 

[Whoa1234]

I would go in a heart beat!!!

[Calico_Star]

Sounds like fun! Atwater is too far north for me, sadly, but I know there are several other members up that way! Good luck!

[Snapdragon]

Oh nooo, I just looked up Atwater, too! I'm much further south (Los Angeles is the furthest north I usually go, LOL), so San Fran-y areas are wayyyyyyyy out of my range. I'm sorry I won't be able to go, this sounds like an incredibly-fun meetup!! And a custom-making contest on-site?! Sign me up!!

I hope you guys have a lot of fun! Best of luck Jahlila!!

[Whoa1234]

It's a two hour drive for me but I REALLY want to go!
I'm talking to my boyfriend right now about it!
I wanted to go to the one in Florida, but that is wayyyy to far for me.
But Atwater is totally in my range!
*Squeels* I better be able to go lol.

[scarletjul]

It's about two hours away for me also, but I would love to come - I'll see if I can get a ride with someone.  It sound awesome! 

[Novavelle]

looks like you're only an hour away from me

[partypony566]

Sounds like a great plan! Hope you all have a lovely time

[FlyingPonyMonster]

Have fun guys!!!

[Prismatic]

Aw, I'd love to go, but it's far too north for me.  Why does California have to be so big x.x and why do I have to live at the very edge of it lol

[Jahlila]

Yeah, I know there are lots of people in Southern Cali and it's a bummer you guys won't be able to make it. I will definitely be taking lots of pictures of this. I'm super excited about it.  I'll also post updates and stuff here for those wanting to come.

[StarDragon]

 I've been wanting to do a CA meet since I joined! Problem is, I won't be home from college until the 20th, so I won't be able to attend...

Y'all have fun, though!

[CrimsonEtClover]

Ooooh, this is like a 40 minute drive for me!!!

[rayechu]

This is also a two hour drive for me. I have a car, but my fiance does music gigs so I never know if I'll have access to it. I'm in Berkeley, if I were to Bart somewhere between here and Dublin(?) would I be able to hitch a ride with anyone?

[ashes]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make that drive either.  Four hours round trip just takes too much time away from my family (four kids requires much of my time, LOL!).
