phoenix's contest

dear princess Celestia.

about 2 weeks back a member of the Calgary Bronies who went by the name "Phoenix Swift" decided to have a caption contest to images to a previous meet up to the BBQ. the winner is to get a T shirt. so i feel like announcing the winner and posting the images up for every pony to see so that everyone has a chance to giggle at the captions for themselves.

1st place made by Darcyblue.

2nd place to Chance.

the rest here can be found, as well as the main ones on our flikr.

now since Darcyblue won the contest and is the owner of the group. he felt it was necessary to go and "add" to the contest by giving a second prize out to the runner up. however he is a big butt and hasn't mentioned what it was yet. he did it mostly so people will be more interested in joining/doing contests themselves and give out more free stuff.

PS. the images will come later. i have to go to work so i dont have time to put them up just now.

The Think Tank

OK everypony....

now in Oder for me to organise my thoughts on things we can do, sometimes i have to write it down. however at the same time i want ideas for events and such from the general masses. ( that means you)

SO! this is where WE come and knock our noggins together! we are to collaborate and come up with ideas for everything we want to do and how to go at it! down on the bottom in the comments. post your idea's or comments towards ideas( either your own or of others) and IL update this page accordingly.

1. i was thinking we should get a room/table at Otafest next year ( it happens during Victoria long weekend) so we can sell pony related things to the masses at a table and a room to promote the meet up as well as get people interested in MLP:FiM.

2. i want a fundraiser of some sort! some kind of charity we can raise funds to give to a good cause! and if we raise enough money. il give you all a special treat. like... me wearing a kawaii maid costume for the entire day and treating people. or something of the sort...

3. the talent show! Ive been trying to get that underway.

4. potluck! everyone likes a good potluck!

5. write a web comic. do you think we have the skills to do it? takes some wit to make a good one. and drawing skill.. i know a few of our drawfriends are decent withthe pencil.

what made you a bronie?

ok so i gotta ask. im really wanting to know... what is it that made you enjoy and love My Little Pony: Friendship is magic?

my story is one of friendship and tolerence.

one of my old friends, a Ms. Prof. Foxchase, told me one day in a drunken stupor " OMG DARCY :DDDDD YOU HAVE TO WATCH MY LITTLE PONY"
since she was drunk i figured this was her trying to troll me. so i basically told her i wasn't interested. but she knew with enough peer pressure, id fold like a house of cards. she continued to tell me it really is an awesome show and its worththe watch.

after a few times of being egged on, i finally said egnough and youtubed it. well.. i watched 6 epsodes before i went to bed that night. continued down that path for a while until i saw trhe last epsiode. now i have 2 MLP sims in Secondlife and the meetup group and this blog and everything!

ok you fillies and colts. tell me your story.

what you can win is a t-shirt of your choice ranging from $40 or less.
you should also ask phoenix swift for color, size and such other general important info about the shirt.
the cut-off day is the the 23rd and we will announce the winner the next day at the meet up.
you can send your caption pictures to fawkes24@hotmail.com with the subject line "Caption Contest". Good luck!

IN OTHER NEWS.
i went on a pony hunt with Dave tonight. found nothing to buy. however i did come across the sparkle magazine shown here. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/sparkle-world-magazine.html
HOWEVER! It was a newer issue and didn't have pony stickers. it had generic stickers and only 2 pages dedicated to pony's. so... it made me not a happy pony. :(
i also looked at laptops today for the group. found one i liked. wasnt bad for $600 or so. a nice chunk of that will be fromthe donation/fee money i collected for the past meetups. the rest from my own pocket. wanted to pony it up with the stickers from the mag but no luck finding that issue. maybe i should find a custom laptop skin for it. humm..
