Post by: Khoufu on March 09, 2018, 07:44:51 PM: I'm so incredibly interested! Unfortunately if it's on a weekend, my vote will depend on when my work's vacation schedule gets published at the beginning of April. Whenever it ends up being, I'll still request the day off of work!

Post by: NinaMarie on March 09, 2018, 10:01:49 PM: I'm very interested! I miss the pony meets. The last part of July is packed with work events so I'm not sure what my availability is quite yet but I'm determined to make it work. So excited!

Post by: Jahlila on March 09, 2018, 10:04:13 PM: I voted for my scheduled weekend off but I can request any day off with enough of a head start. I'm really excited!

Simple, easy to play party games! Apples to Apples, Uno, Skip Bo, Joking Hazard (idk how appropriate it is), Pictionary
Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: Jahlila on March 31, 2018, 04:19:24 PM: Pony Pictionary or "Who Am I?" (Character name pinned on back and they have to ask others questions to find out who they are).
Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: Flitter on March 31, 2018, 06:40:06 PM: I'd love to come. Saturdays are difficult for me though and I wouldn't know if I could come for sure until really close to the date. I'll keep an eye on the thread though. Sounds fun!

Joking Hazard is not a very appropriate game, it's along the same lines as Cards against Humanity in terms of offensiveness

Post by: Khoufu on April 03, 2018, 03:36:49 PM: Ah ok. I guess the ads I saw for it had to tone it down.
Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: NinaMarie on April 15, 2018, 09:08:22 AM: The pony "musical chairs" game was fun. It was only mildly traumatizing when I and another player grabbed the same pony and I ended up with a head and she the body. :P

Sticker "Stalker" - supposed to happen throughout the event, everyone gets a sticker sheet and has to stealthily put stickers on other people with out them catching you. First one to empty their sticker sheet wins. I assume if you get caught you have to put your sticker back on your sheet.

Mummy game - Normally this involves teams wrapping someone in toilet paper and whoever completely wraps their person first wins. We could use fashion style ponies (G3 or 4) or large plush and yarn. Toilet paper would probably be too big.

Post by: Aurora on April 15, 2018, 10:50:08 PM: Realistically, any bridal shower/baby shower game would make a good pony game!
Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: Whoa1234 on April 22, 2018, 02:48:11 PM: Hiya everyone!

Hopefully byh tonight I will have photos of the party room uploaded.
It's been so long since i've uploaded to the arena!!

What theme for decorations would everyone like to see?

MLP related with multiple characters, or a specific selected character?

Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: Khoufu on April 22, 2018, 05:28:20 PM: I think good decor would be of ponies that are related to California things, like desert, ocean, gold, boats, the sun, etc. So Sunlight, Tex, Salty, Beachball, etc.

Lol I'll take your anything spicy and mushrooms and give you my pepperoni.
Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: NinaMarie on June 16, 2018, 05:07:51 PM: Does anyone have any other collections or interests they would be looking to buy/trade for? I have a few Barbies and Monster High i’m trying to sell.
Anyone do ATCs?

I was thinking of crocheting a few mini plush ponies. I started a G3 Minty but am trying to decide who to do next. I want to match the meet theme. I kind of want to do a twinkle eye and use these Swarovski crystal beads I have for the eyes :D

My husband is going to come with me and I’m really excited. This is going to be his first time at a meet like this.
Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: Khoufu on June 16, 2018, 05:51:59 PM: I may be interested in trading for other 80s collectible toys or scifi action figures (star trek, stargate, etc.). All I have to trade are ponies (mostly g3/3.5 and g4) and random plushies and non-brand name toys.

Title: Re: Interested in a California Bay Area Pony Meet?
Post by: Khoufu on June 26, 2018, 03:42:13 PM: Is a date decided? I need at least 2 weeks notice to ask for it off, and I can't do July 21st or 28th, or August 11.

Yay for a date!

If you take Bart from Pitsburg/Bay point the trip is about an hour.
You would ride until Mcarthur then transfer trains and get on the Warms-springs train until the Fremont stop.

Also, if you are not on FB please post here that you're attending!!

Title: Re: California Bay Area Pony Meet! August 4th 2018!!
Post by: Khoufu on July 30, 2018, 09:44:57 PM: I'll be hoping to trade away some G3/3.5/4 ponies and assorted non-MLP trading cards and coins. If anyone collects coins or trading cards, let me know what I should bring!
Title: Re: California Bay Area Pony Meet! August 4th 2018!!
Post by: Whoa1234 on August 02, 2018, 09:55:23 PM: The address for Saturday is 37480 Fremont Blvd.
