usually you start out with a pony meet, and then it grows. :) The big US Pony Fair is run by a staff who pick the location, raise funds, pay for the hall/meeting rooms... it costs a TON! A Pony meet can be done anywhere, though; they are usually one day things at someones house or a park, but some are held in event halls. The local one here was at a room rented through Holiday Inn, one of their meeting rooms. :)
I would love a Fair here hahah! xD
I agree we 10000% though! We need more pony stuff here, especially considering how many people collect here and how many stores sell ponies! We have a few pony conventions, but meeeh I want something besides G4! I would love to meet people sooooo bad!
You might have better luck drumming up interest in a Texas meet if you ask a mod to move this topic to the main Corral where more people will see it. :) Since the Pony Fairs sub-forum is for discussions about the official MLP Fair(s), things are pretty slow and quiet in here right now... minus the finger-drumming and foot-tapping. :lol:
I would LOVE to have a pony fair or pony meet here in Texas! That would be so awesome!!! :frolic:
That would be fun, I live in Austin I had fun at BFF but they stopped doing it *cry*Hi Melodia!
Heya! it was a short lived convention called "Brony Fan Fair" it was fun.
Here are my badges :)Spoiler
It was fun but they stopped doing it this year :cold:
I'm still holding out for the MLP Fair to be here (somewhere in TX). But are there is are just brony conventions which is no place for a G3 lover ^^;
I am going to move this out to the Pony Corral :)
I go to Nightmare Nights, I think in Arlington! Its close to Anime POP and the Loving Hut vegan chinese buffet! I didn't go this year because Enterplay's wasn't there, I like free promo cards xD plus my husband wanted to take me to Florida! I love all the customs people sell there, its too bad all those people will probably not ever get to sell their stuff at the pony fair.... I feel like it will never come this far south.
It would seriously be nice to meet some fellow Texas collectors on mlparena for a change!!!! We can laugh about how everyone thinks its "tooo hot to live here" to want to visit! xD We can also laugh at how weird our weather is LOL as well as go to awesome stores nearby! I fell like Texas, especially DFW, is soooooo overlooked and forgotten about. Its so FUN here! We have so many awesome restraunts and grocery stores from so many cultures its epic! Especially those Asian markets that sell a ton of awesome Japanese candy most people pay $10+ to import! xD Aaaaah and we have so many malls we could choose from to meet up at! I could show you guys my favorite thrift stores, I have one close that is a G3 goldmine every time!
^ tell ya what Twilight Pink! If we ever meet up I will give you a baggie of the ones I have! I only want to keep a couple, and there is like 20+ hanging out on my water heater because they are magnetic LOL! If you are ever in McKinney, over by Allen and Fairview, on the super Eastern part of McKinney across I75 they have this AWESOME thrift store that always seems to have G3s! I even found the Castle playset with the little dance stage fold out there for $12!! I didn't buy it because the battery cartridge was blue and fuzzy and heck xD I shouldn't have passed on it because I found out it was an International exclusive!!!!!! :faint: That SAME thrift store had a big brother, original Holt MH doll (the blue boy who is rare), disney animator dolls, neopets plush, the collector porcelin madame alexander dolls, and 70s Ariel dolls. That thrift store is my favorite part about my move to Texas!
....and people have the nerve to tell me there is qoute, "nothing good in Texas". Like dude, so many international toys end up here! There are a zillion people who move to DFW from other countries! Omg especially in McKinney, Allen, and Plano!

If it were to be in Austin, I could look into hotels/ convention space here with space to rent. We'd have to get a head count and possible dates to figure out a price but I'd certainly be able to help if someone decides to host a meet.
I would love to meet too and think about meeting everyone! ^.^
Seapony chocolates?!
:D
What are those?!
I'm graciously backing out, It seems apparent that Austin is gonna be the place for the meet up..and I wouldn't be able to travel to Austin by myself unless I get a friend or two to come with me! :blush:

You started this thread! haha be bold and name the city where you want the meet to be! Besides, I think one major point of the localized meet-ups is to give an opportunity to meet up for people who want to, but maybe can't go to the Fair for whatever reason. So it defeats your purpose if you can't even go to the meet you wanted to organize!
If you host it, they will come :P ;)

I'm feeling overwhelmed!!
:drunk:
Maybe I should table this and come back to it after the holidays.. :blush: If I host it, it's gonna be in Tyler, during the early summer most likely.. if not at a hotel, I'm thinking a local restaurant..
I would host it in Dallas, but I'm not rich nor am I organized XD

I'm rich in ponies! :-3 And chocolate! Ha-ha I went out and bought more Gylian seapony chocolates today after talking about them here xD
We can meet up anywhere guys! Even if its a Starbucks! *imagines coffee + excitement over ponies mix will get us kicked out of restraunts* LOL! :P I wish we had some kind of cool pony resturaunt/cafe here! I think that's the only thing Texas doesn't have! xD There is a comic book store called Madness Comocs and Games in Plano Texas that hosts MTG, Pokemon, and sometimes MLP TCG tournies- its very huge! I have always imagined that would be a cool place to meet up plus they sell ponies! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
I like to go to Tyler in March to hunt for those tastey Morel mushrooms! I swear that's the only place they grow here! I also love a river there in Winter because there are cool cretaceous ocean fossils in there!!!
And what is miss Sweet_Stuff pondering about????!!! :biggrin:
If its the comic book store, maybe I can help out? You said you lived in Tyler so its not super far away! ALSO OMG there is this AMAAAAZING Asia MArket near that comic book store that sells the best selection of JApanese candy around! Also there is this a million resturaunts, both fast food, common chain-dinners, and specialty resturaunts like Eastern Indian, Authentic Italian, Japanese, Mongolian, etc! *goes to happy place*
If its about the mushrooms, maybe we can meet up somewhere in the Spring! xD Those things are delicious deep-fried in beer batter! -goes off topic because is excited about Texas stuff-
Is there a Panera Bread at any of y'all's areas? There could be a meet up there! :cool:
OMG Tyler is so close! :-3 I could so do that! Summer would work best for me! I work and don't get vacation until summer!
We don't need anything fancy, I just wanna meet ya'll!We can do Starbucks! Coffeeeeee!
I'd be interested in attending. For my work I would need to know when to ask off and then just hope that there aren't any conflicts.
My mom and grandma are very familiar with the area. I'll have to ask them if they have any suggestions for venues.

Thanks, Sunset!
Oh that's awesome! I'd appreciate any input. :)
So, I did ask my mom for suggestions but she said it's been too long since she lived there to be able to give up to date suggestions. Then I remembered that my uncle still live in the area and asked him for suggestions. He said he would look into it but I haven't heard back from him yet.
Im trying to think of other fun things we could do besides candy and pony raffles! ^.^ Might haveta throw together some small goody bags!
