Minnesota Pony Meet! Sept 2 & 3 **Now the Midwest Pony Jubilee!**

[wizzer218]

Strawberry salad sounds good. I need to finish making my list of accessories and ponies i have, along with my other projects - but I'm still waging war against fleas. The foggers didn't kill/affect all of them. I'm going to start buying plastic totes for my ponies and fabrics so I can get rid of the cardboard boxes. So much more cleaning.

Gah!!...I can feel your pain....I work at the pet store and we got mites on the small animals somehow....it's happened before.....but I always know because I am highly sensitive to their bite....most people don't feel them but I do big time....so itchy...they are worse than fleas....so if I am at work I am super itchy when I yet home and try to sleep..... whoever gets bit reacts hrs later usually....so annoying

Yeah, I hear that. The moment one bites me I start itching. Why they like me more than my mother I don't know. At least they seem to be few and far between at the moment. I'm looking forward to winter, though, let me tell you! We've decided we're going to treat the cats for them year round, now.

I'm hoping to be able to get going on my projects and pony sorting, now. I haven't even been able to test the earring mold, yet! Since the fabric is all washable, I will probably transfer those to totes later on. Not that ponies aren't washable, but they take more time to clean, especially the so-softs; come to think on it, I was thinking of posting about that on tumblr, like the one gal does for her collection. I also realized that I have three seperate shelves attatched to the pony cabinet, so need to get those supported elsewhere before I take the cabinet down to remake it. Luckily I realized this before I started to take the cabinet down.

I don't think anyone has claimed cookies, no. See if you can stick with the strawberry theme? I'm still not sure what I'll be bringing, aside from strawberry-rhubarb cheater jam.

I haven't seen cookies yet- go for it! Ill make a food post when i have a big computer. Tiny screen!
I can bring a main dish if that is needed, I hope everyone likes pork!

[ponyqueen]

If you haven't already, start thinking about potluck food! I'll be adding a section soon for contributions in mains, fruits & veggies, snackies and sweets.

[ringlets_]

I think I can make it!

[Aurora]

Ringlets! Your ears must have been itching, i was just thinking about how i haven't seen you in a while!


Kazzy- was that list you showed me on your phone a commercially available app? Or was it something you created?

[Kazzellin]

Listmaster, you mean? It's commercially available - I have zero programming skills. Should be available in the App Store, for around $8 it I recall right. I love it!

I'm thinking of bringing chocolate-dipped strawberry Rice Crispy balls. Thoughts?

[ponyqueen]

Heads up, ya'll! We just extended the invitation to the entire pony community, and expanded the festivities to include Saturday as well. The planning and itinerary logistics haven't changed for Sunday, so no worries if you can't make it a weekend thing. But let me know if you can, so I can reserve a camping/sleeping bag spot for you!

[Aurora]

Listmaster- i will look that up. There are a few sea ponies and g3's that i could use a ref picture when i am out and about.

PQ, you continue to be my hero.

[Kazzellin]

Hmm. I don't know that you can upload pictures to listmaster; you can certainly type in the description, though.

Ponyqueen, it sounds like you're trying to turn this into a new convention! Sounds good to me.

Edit: Let's see... I'm off work at 3pm on Saturday, then I'll have to drive down to Albert Lea to pick up Blackfrost and her mom, so the earliest I could get there is 7(ish), depending on traffic. *If* Blackfrost's mom is ok with spending the night, anyway. Might wind up getting them on Sunday morning instead, in which case I'd be leaving your house around 5am to drive down there and back.

I am definitely going to need selling space for a table; I've taken 15 credits this semester (my Spanish II class is all online, though), so have to get the house all cleaned up before classes start (so the clutter doesn't stress me out along with the homework this time), and that includes going through ponies, so will also have more G1 ponies to sell, in addition to jewelry. Hopefully the risers I'm buying will help. I might set up like I plan to for Furry Migration.

Edit 2: Looks like picking them up on Sunday is going to be the way it works. No worries. This is going to be so much fun! Now if you'll excuse me - I have a ton of cleaning to do before school starts up in about 2 weeks.

I discovered a list program on my phone where i can upload pictures. I will give that a whirl before i try to find something else- i really only need a few ref pictures, i will probably know hushabye when i see her!

PQ, i would like to reserve a tent space for saturday. This sounds amazing!
Question- if i bring brats or brat burgers, is jeff willing to cook them? Or i can cook them at home and keep them warm in a crock pot. Is there a preference?

[ponyqueen]

Jeff can operate the grill!

[wizzer218]

Wish I could do both days but I would have needed it off
Only Sunday for me.... don't sell everything!!!
