I live in Riverside, California. I was wondering if anyone else here lives anywhere near by. I've met some bronies in real life, but only small meetups that didn't last very long. The only exception was Equestria LA, but that's different because it was a whole convention so of course there were plenty of bronies there.
I live in Woodlake, California, which is fairly close to you. Not especially close, but alas. Meeting local bronies is actually what I set out to do when I found this site, so I'll just go ahead and leave this post here.
