Attended My First Ever Brony Meetup!

Nothing amazing happened, truly. But we did go to see The Dark Knight Rises at the Mall of Georgia. I went together with Aynine! :grin: He lives 16 miles from me, but that somehow turned into 40 minutes, and an additional 35 to get to the mall. :sigh: He wasn't able to get a ticket for the IMAX 3-D showing that was planned, but I did since I pre-ordered it. So instead, I downgraded my ticket to one for the normal showing so we could watch it together. After it got out, everyone went to Toy 'R' Us to raid the pony section, which was honestly a bit disappointing. I got a set of Sonic the Hedgehog figures, though. After that, we went to raid Walmart, then went back to the mall and raided Spencer's and Hot Topic. None of them except Hot Topic had anything interesting, but Hot Topic's shirts were too small for me. They did have a brony wallet, but it didn't have enough sleeves for me. After all that, we went to the food court to eat and talk to each other. I talked about EP to a few people, one of which does a radio-type thing and said he'd give EP a shout-out if I wanted.

Also, I feel I should impart this story. Yesterday, an old friend of mine posted on my Facebook wall. This guy I knew from back in my college days and, like almost all my college friends, I haven't been in touch. We were part of a group that played Super Smash Bros. all day long and it was a blast. It was 3 or so years since I last heard from him, and he suddenly posts on my Facebook wall: "REMEMBER ME? Might see you at that Canterlanta Batman thing Friday." So not only does an old friend contact me for the first time in years, but he's a brony AND I'd be seeing him the following day! :omg:

One of the attendees already put up a couple videos.

One of some of our group at Toys 'R' Us. Aynine and I are not present, but still.

And one that's a compilation of photos that were taken. At 0:25, my college friend is on the left, in the fedora. At 0:30, I'm on the left in the Smile! shirt, and Aynine is the one on the right! :grin:

Edit: Why won't the video tags work?

    Being able to have a meetup sounds awesome! I really need to try and mobilize the bronies where I am xD

    I'm sure Aynine already gave you the go ahead, but I know we would appreciate receiving a shout out from the brony with the radio-type thing.
