POST-CON GUN RANGE TRIP REMINDER:An email reminder/update has gone out to those of you attending that have not yet submitted payment for the trip. Please check your emails when you can (of course including spam folders and whatnot just in case).I would like to have all payments submitted and taken care of by the 20th (1 week before the con) if you can make that happen, otherwise please get in contact with me moonanon2@gmail.com if there are any issues or if you have any questions.
>>41404768good job dashie
>>41402146>>41402158>>41402161This just might be the most impulsive thing I have ever done. With a little over two weeks before the con, I paid the Mare Fare. Although I rarely act on impulse, so I guess going to a con this late makes up for it.Money isn't really a problem since I don't just burn through it normally, but those last minute plane tickets are making me worry just a bit. I plan to buy a 20-30" plushie while I'm there, and might not have the money if I end up spending too much. But I might not if I don't see a pony I want.If I do buy a plushie of that size, how do I get her home? Especially since my flight isn't going to be cheap?>>41402200I think I've been in my comfort zone for too long anyway. I hope all goes well.>>41402216I haven't even booked a flight yet! I can afford it but I hope it doesn't cut into the money I'd use for the vendors.>>41402218Noted, I will definitely bring clothes and shower often.>>41402258I definitely want to be prepared, I'm spending allmy free time on getting ready.>>41402294I'll see you there then.>>41402403>come find me and I'd love to introduce you to some people, that's going to be the whole focus of the "make some friends" panel on friday that Clipper and I are runningI saw that on the con schedule and considered it mandatory for me>>41400837>it will run most of the day Thursday and at some other times here and there the rest of the week before the conI want to ride in the Marevan. I have not yet purchased a plane ticket yet and those prices are getting high, so I would definitely like to know if the Marevan can return me to the airport and what day and time if possible so I can buy that ticket ASAP. All I can say right now is that my flight is domestic. I don't want to be selfish and I suppose I could just Uber, but the prices are always high to get in and out of airports, and I'd like to plan as much ahead as I could. Not Ubering could mean extra con money. I will definitely tip, of course.I really want to be there and I'll be looking forward to my first pony con!
>schedule got updated
>>41404798>If I do buy a plushie of that size, how do I get her home?someone needs to provide a vacuum packing plushie service and rake it in
Mares and Anons, my stupid book of autograph bait has been completed. It's chock full of mares, and (You) will be asked to sign itif your a nice fella. This project has always been fun with the ponycons I've been to, and I look forward to meeting all the new faces it'll involve this time as well. I've made 2, 2 page spreads for run-of-the-mill anons, so don't think you lurkers are completely safe...ill drop a page here and there, and dump a mega of the scans during the con for the anons stuck at home
>>41404798Obviously, you drive home with her, anon. (or i guess try to stuff her into a suitcase?)
>>41404667Where do I ask about volunteering?
>>41404841me
>>41404841Her >>41404849
>>41404820You the anon that made me sign a book after my panel in the common area? (You)'re the goofy reason why I can never again say I've never given an autograph.
>>41404798> If I do buy a plushie of that size, how do I get her home?duffle bag as checked luggage is probably your best bet other than vacuum sealing or mailing> I would definitely like to know if the Marevan can return me to the airportThe hotel has a 24/7 shuttle. The marevan to the hotel is more for the fun of it so you should have no problems getting back to the airport
>>41404785Is green tip 5.56 allowed in the range?
>>41404849are you in need of plappers?

>>41404736you beat me to it. fuck
is this going to be a panel
>>41404989i hope so
>>41404816I feel like this might be the best solution.>>41404826While that would be nice, it's just not an option for me.>>41404892>the hotel has a 24/7 shuttleThank you, I really needed to know that. I just overpaid for a plane ticket.>other than vacuum sealingI might end up trying this if there was a service available. But it would be dependent on how many LS plushies there were to buy and the amount of people just driving to and from the con. Perhaps nobody thinks its worth doing because there's not enough profit to be made (cringe)>>41400837Thursday2:44 PMDomestic
>>41404816How do you get them back in the vacuum pack to get them back home? I have two plushies I need to bring and can't figure that part out.
>>41404989Are those little kids in the front row?
I look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks! I'll have a few friends there but I hope I can overcome my shyness and make some more!
>>41405096I believe that one was being sold, and as for how to get them back home, that's (You)r problem.
>>41405096That's why someone needs to bring a shop vac and suck plushie bags until they're drained and withered for $$$. If I drove to MF I'd think about doing that, pick up some vac bags and offer to service anons and their plushies. Good wholesome business
>>41405107lets be friends
>lucrative bag-sucking opportunity available>crickets>Mareification not required.
>>41405129this is probably the best silver spoon image
>>41405088As far as I know there’s only one LS plushie vendor and if so, his smaller plush can fit in a large sized suit case no problem, or it can even be taken on the plane. His big LS on the other either needs to be vacuum sealed with an extra large suitcase or what most anons do is drive it. But also you said you’re in a tight budget, keep in mind those plushies are close to a grand if not more for large ones.
not happy with the registration processWhy does the registration page asks for my address and phone number? neither galacon or pch did, to my knowledgealso I have to either put in a fandom name or I will get a badge with my real name printed? this is really unusual too, instead of normal blank badges you can fill (or not)
>>41405339Just don't go. ez.I'll be taking my payment in mares.
>>41405344it's just really creepy to design it like that
>>41405339'An' address is required, 'a' phone number is required. Do with that information what you will.And yes pch requires all that, can't remember for gala
>>41405339It's a retard litmus test. Anyone who put in a real address or phone number will be receiving both anthrax and a visit from the feds.
>>41405339Just put a fake address. Its there for spirit badge people to get their stuff.Also if you've paid for any other con with paypal, chances are you've already given them the address associated with the paypal account you're using.>also I have to either put in a fandom name or I will get a badge with my real name printed? this is really unusual too, instead of normal blank badges you can fill (or not)Based on the cons you listed, I'm gonna guess you're a euroanon. Pretty much all american cons require a name of some sort on the badge, whether it be a real name or fandom name. I was actually shocked the first time I went to a European ponycon and they didn't require a name because it seemed like it would be much harder to ban people
>>41405339>not wanting mares to call you or show up at your house
>>41405339You could always buy at the door with cash if you are too afraid to put in fake garbage for those fields (I'm going to assume you are German, based on the fact that this didn't cross your mind, those fuckers probably get executed for not taking bureaucratic bullshit like that seriously enough) but you'll have to pay Florida sales tax in addition to the badge price. You can also put down whatever the fuck you want for the badge name too. You'll also have to show ID at the gate anyways to prove you are 18+, but let me just tell you nobody gives enough of a fuck to memorize your goddamn dox at the pony con.
>>41405379>it seemed like it would be much harder to ban peopleas it's not a problem in practice given all years euro cons work like that, therefore the practice of forcing a name is wrong
>>41405409I actually put fake stuff into it, but just requiring it is really weird to me. If there was a form field for 'dick length' wouldn't that make you question the logic behind including it in the first place?all would be fine if all those fields were optional if I don't want anything sent to me
>>41405427There's questions about all kinds of shit in there, like favorite mare - why aren't you questioning the logic behind that? Maybe they'll dox you that way. I'd chuckle if they added penis length as a field, and I'll make sure to forward that as a tech upgrade for next year to the tech team.
>>41405436>like favorite mareClearly that's put there because they want to know if you love mares.>If you leave this blank, we'll know you hate mares.
>>41405339Just put Anon or Anonymous for your fandom name, retard
>>41405409>You'll also have to show ID at the gate anyways to prove you are 18+o kurwa.
>>41405242>tight budgetWell I did just overpay for a plane ticket and I guess I'll be paying the luggage fee for an empty duffel bag until I figure everything out. I know the plushies cost a grand and I will be bringing a little over that specifically for a plushie, but if things get too expensive, (one anon told me Orlando was a tourist trap where everything costs more) it just means I won't be spending a grand on a plushie and might just buy some other merch if I end up being short a hundred dollars from my plush budget. I'll be slightly disappointed, but that's all.>his smaller plush can fit in a large sized suit case no problemI'll be getting one of these then, ~31" is about my limit since I don't have room at home for anything much larger. I'm hoping for a Twilight in that size, unless there's some way I can see exactly what's available.
>>41405442>Twifags forcing us all into a popularity poll so they can gloat about being the most numerous....again.
>>41405483actually maybe going to mare fair is a bad idea because I don't have enough self control to not walk home with the largest mare plushie I can get my hands on
>>41405496Don't worry, I'll be doing that in place of you.
>>41405487being an appulfag is truly suffering
>>41404667>tfw not americanHave fun for me guys sadly ill miss it again. Hopefully next year if this still exists then.
>>41405519i want that twilight RIGHT NOW
>>41405532>againAw, that's too bad. I hope you can make it next year.
>>41404816>>41405096Tbh I do plan to just ask the hotel if they do have just a regular vacuum that I could use for the thingProbably even the room service would provide something if you wave with a $10 bill in front of them
>>41405816You could otherwise just get a fat guy to lay down on the vacuum bag
>>41405833>getting some fat guy to crush your waifu underneath himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FriWOrcNzHs#t=26s
>>4140548331inch should be an easy fit in a duffel bag. >I guess I'll be paying the luggage fee for an empty duffel bagDon't pay for it on the way there. Just shove it in the backpack you bring as a personal item and only pay for it on the way back. Thats the whole reason to use one over a suitcase
>>41404826What the FUCK am I looking at here WHAT IS THIS Picture???
>>41404667Any pictures of the mascot plushies?
>>41404854das me, beware it could happen again
>>41405409You cannot put a fake name on the badgeIf it doesn't match your ID you may be denied admittance We had an issue last year where someone tried to check in using just a fandom name and stole someone's badge
For all the long drivers, make sure you do some preventative maintenance on your car before you go. Don't want to be caught lacking on good ol 75

>>41406460bitch ill buy you a fucking seat. No horsefucker left behind.
I wonder if it would be best to go to the con store first or the vendor hall? I think they said they'd have 500 of each mascot plush, though I'm not sure how fast they'll go. On the other hand, the vendors will have more specific stuff that could sell out instantly.
One floorb ready for the fair.

>>41407095why are you typing like a faggot
>>41406022Good to know, haven't bought the ticket yet. Do they ask for your ID at the door to give you a badge or something?
I had a dream about Mare Fair last night, especially notable since I rarely have dreams and barely remember anything even when I do. So wild was the ride that I immediately wrote down as much as I could remember:>I and a large group of anons arrive at Mare Fair on a bus>Everyone sleeps outside in a courtyard, there are plushies scattered everywhere on the floor>I lie down on the ground, surrounded by plushies, grab a life-size Twi to cuddle withTwi was an odd choice since I'm actually a dashfag, but there weren't any LS Dashies in arms reach and I really wanted the LS experience, Twi's always been a close second for me so not too concerned about choosing her instead>Kissed Twi full on the mouth>Vividly remember the physical sensation of the wet spots I left on her against my face, the only physical sensation I remember feeling>Slept so long that I missed the panel I was supposed to host>Feel devastated that I missed the panel I'd been working hard for>Also missed pretty much all of Mare Fair, phone said it was late Sunday afternoon>Despondant, post-con depression looming, I wander aimlessly through the crowds spending ages trying to find my friends>Get invited to join the queue for the after-dark vendor hall>Get to the end of the very long line, decide not to join because it's too long>Jolt awake, instant relief that I hadn't just slept through Mair FairTwo other non-Mare Fair things that happened as well:>I had to replace the fabric of a car headliner for some reason, it was held in place with bungee cords that snapped when I pulled on them too hard>I found myself at an indoor skate park/gym place where athletes were training for a new Olympic event - freestyle skateboarding except you don't have a skateboard, you roll your body over the jumps and rails instead>All the athletes were ChineseWhat do I take away from this anons?
>>41407147>Slept so long that I missed the panel I was supposed to hostWhat a Twi plush does to a man.
>>41407147your healing from your time being a dashfag
>>41407147I'll cross my fingers that your almost-nightmares continue, leaving you too stressed and tired to properly enjoy mare fair, leaving me more opportunities to steal your fun out from under you

KSC TRIP UPDATEPlease do check your emails for the basic itinerary and payment information including your junk/spam folder. Just waiting a just a few more of you, and payment is required by the 15th of September. We'll be departing for KSC around 8:30am so we are there in time for our Explore KSC tours at 10:00am and 10:30am respectively.Secondly: KSC Group Sales has been in touch with me and there is going to be a slight split with the Explore KSC Tour. Most of us will still be departing at 10:00am but a smaller second group will be departing at 10:30am. Just a bit of a capacity issue and that was the best fix.Thirdly a payment PSA: Paypal has got in touch with me in regards to "sale funds reaching a threshold" and could be held for up to 21 days. To prevent the risk of that money being withheld until after the KSC trip I am requesting that the payment be sent via Friends and Family. Yes I know that does sound sketchy but it's the only way I can think of preventing the risk is all.I do manually send emails to those that have sent payments to confirm details if you're worried if this is still some crypto scam.

>>41407751I will be in touch with those that put 11:00am down as their vote on the sign up sheet to see if they would want to be a part of the 10:30 group, I will also go with the 10:30 group too. If anons that voted for 10:00 want but want to join the 10:30 group instead, could you please email me via the confirmation email so I can note you down for the 10:30 tour. >>41407767That is all you needed to see so far.

>>41408020There's a reason the demolition team started with building 7.
>>41408020A bunch of guys took their plushies with them and locked themselves all in one closet together and dutch ovened the shit out of it.

Anyone bringing pot?
>>41404077What's the latest the mare van will run on Wednesday?
>>41408397No, go waste your life elsewhere, druggie.
>>41408514If it's you pearl clutcher you weren't at Mare Fair last year. So many spooky naughty drugs were there
>>41408397Bring your own you fucking freeloader.
>>41408529Hey man some of us have never even been to the states before. I'm not smuggling coke and weed in my ass
>>41408397yeah probably
>>41408537Just smuggle a little bit, then. You don't got to fill it up to the brim or anything like that. I know you're excited for mare fair and all, but try to keep that in mind.
Fuck I wish I could go (europoor) but I really hope this con goes well for you guys. Americans have been the nicest people in the fandom by a mile from my very limited experience. Also if you’re reading this American who let me sleep on your floor and gave me a snowpone at galacon I hope you’re going to have a good con assuming you’re going.

No one at mare fair will know I'm a fan of woman on stallion action
>>41404736I'm so hype you have no ideaAnyone know where I can get a wedding dress her size? Or even just a white dress.
>>41408736you too?

>>41408737Just throw a white towel over her flank
>>41408736Men are for mares to make pony children withWomen are for stallions to be there's some stuff I wrote here that's simply just not appropriate for the thread. You'll have to use your imagination or pretend it's hoof holding or something
>>41408839>Anon, you said we were goin' to a sauna.
>>41408925We were! I changed my mind and now we’re getting married!
Is this safe to attend for a dark-skinned guy?
>>41408936Are we talking burnt spaghetti, mix breed, chinese outsourcing, hershey chocolate, or locked character dark
>>41408903You sick fuck
>>41408936Of course it's safe. Unless your name is Wootmaster or Babs Seed.

>>41407147I had a Mare Fair dream last night. I dreamed they had to put all the AV equipment in one of the bathroom stalls, and the AV guy was sitting in there like picrel.
had a mare fair dream about fucking some dude in the ass, a good sign of things to come
>>41409055Save your cuck buck fantasies for the orgy, Woot boy.
I had a dream where I was at mare fair. if only...
>>41407147>Vividly remember the physical sensation of the wet spots I left on her against my face, the only physical sensation I remember feelingYou were probably drooling on your pillow and rubbing your face against it

I know it's supposed to be a merch swap. But would it be okay to sell stuff if nothing catches my eye but anons are interested in my stuff?
>>41409002It changes a man when you're told to go "eeeyup" and then get pounded so fast you "eeerruuugh" instead
>>41409414who cares
>>41408971That sounds really fucking gay. I’ll only go down on an anon if he can do a semi convincing cute mare voice

Cope van riders on Wednesday, I have got a list from Purp and rented a vehicle that should be large enough to fit (You) and your luggage.If there is interest, I could do some runs to Walmart as well.
>>41409677No fucking way dude that’s awesome. I don’t know you but ill get into your vehicle with absolutely zero scruples
>>41409677Thanks, anon.
>>41409677Amazing news! Thank you so much anon. A Walmart run also sounds great.

>>41409809I am. The mare I'm making isn't cute enough imo. Back to the drawing board.
>>41409813study other mares you like, use some generals you like for inspiration
>>41409677I'd be down for a Walmart/liquor run, was considering just grabbing a day rental but you are already running on Wednesday that would make my life a bit easier.
>>41409677>>41402843Also for the anon who was interested but original told no, I talked to purp and might be selling some of the marevan merch out of the copevan for himI won’t be the actual anon running it, but I’ll be helping out with it
>>41409862> I won’t be the actual anon running itBy running it, I mean the copevan. I’m retarded and forgot to specify that

>>41410619Yeah, just like the Mare Van, post in the thread when you arrive at the airport and when you think you'll be able to reach B24 of arrivals, usually about 30min after if going domestic. Also write if you have large amounts of luggage or anything else of note.

>>41411148Man, during the auction some guy went “sunbeam, everyone!” and like 7 people including myself and the guy next to me raised our arms. I looked around to see who else was sunbeaming, I made the mistake of turning my head to the anon next to me just as he raised his arms. SWEET CHRIST, fetid doesn’t even begin to describe it. I seriously thought I might throw up. I used to play hockey, I’m not afraid of body odor or anything but this motherfucker in a stained shirt smelled like he genuinely hadn’t showered in years. It was more than old sweat and shitting bacteria, it was an ascended form of body odor. This is coming from a guy who went through a scat phase at 15- not even my own rotting shit smelled as bad as this anon. He could’ve rubbed his own fecal matter on his shirt, let it bake in the sun for a month and worn it to the con and it would not have smelled as bad as it did right then and there. Every fucking scent receptor in my head, including the ones in my mouth, eyes and throat went off at once. I know I’m rambling but this anons scent was seriously beyond description. The English language does not possess the needed words for me to convey just how fucking bad he smelled. My urge to watch the charity auction just barely surpassed my drive for self preservation, I wanted to change seats so fucking bad. I was sitting right behind Kim by the way during the auction, and I can only pray that she was upwind of this greasy ass ass motherfucker. I’m not even a paragon of cleanliness myself, I shower maximum of 1-3 times a week, but please for the love of god have some self awareness
>>41411225The fact that there's literally anybody in the vendor hall selling LS plushies at all is of note, I don't think I've seen any other plush maker do that before AZGchip do that at a con before last Mare Fair. Expecting to be able to pick up your LS waifu at a con is going to have you waiting far longer than just commissioning directly.
>>41411248What I got from this is that we need someone to go around asking people to sunbeam with them, and if you can smell them, then they get pelted with soap
>>41411252>actually going to the trouble of transporting multiple LS plushies to the con>I don't think I've seen any other plush maker do that before AZGchip do that at a con before last Mare FairWell you need to be special to have special ideas.
>>41411272I don't know, he might have made a pretty smart move considering he sold his entire stock. I guess this year the question's gonna be if he served the existing demand for LS plushies at a con, or if he'll be able to pull it off again. I'm fairly sure the barrier to selling LS at cons has probably been more of a logistics issue than a lack of demand.
>>41411289That's true. Despite the hassle, you pretty much have guaranteed sales, so it's a quick way to just make money. I heard the LS plushies were gone instantly last year. We really need more quality LS plushmakers.
>>41409571I think I signed up for this, how do I know for sure?
>>41410041Because you have good taste
>>41411306Write your nick here, or if you don't want to share it in "public"Sign up again and I'll tell you here.
I've spent $300 on the flight and can't afford to spend any more on this. Seems like it didn't work out, I'll go next year. funny thing is, I said that last year.For what it's worth I'd have loved to hung out with you guys.
>>41411414Come on anon I believe in youYou've already got a plane ticket so find a floor to bum on and survive off ramen the entire con
>>41411085are you a Australian tranny?
>>41411252It was done at the last 2 Bronycon's from what I remember but very limited sales; he is of note though for basically only selling large plush at a con though.Also to any anons like >>41409571 and Purp renting 12-15 passenger vans, check your insurance coverage- chances are your normal car insurance policy does NOT cover anything over 9 pax for damage or liability, nor would your credit card cover damage like in a more standard rental even though this should count as non-commercial use. I was considering getting a large van to haul a shitload of plush until I realized I'd have to find 3rd party insurance or the rental company's liability and damage waivers and it was almost as much as the rental itself.
Does anyone have a full list of every plushie being sold?
>>41411414>giving up after getting the hardest part over withdumbass there's plenty of dudes willing to room share
>>41411470I'll be getting the van with LDW, LIS, PAI and PEC, which was pretty much every available insurance option I had. My understanding that it should cover "everything"
>>41411507For AZG, there is probably more recent figures, but about a month ago:>>41338906 Mare Fair stock so far is:10 28" anon mares6 28" Aryanne's (full friendship)2 28" Applejacks (no hat)2 59" LS anon mares (one faux fur)1 59" LS Pinkie Pie1 28" linky1 28" Zippers (bought by zippers already)LS Rainbow dash (unf dashie)LS dark rainbow dash for charityFloorb
>>41408737Thats a pretty mare 0_0
what's going on on the 30th and 31st? I'd like to stay the entirety of the 29th so I hope I won't be missing too many aftercon activities.
>>4141164931st, you mean Oct 1stFrom the event tracker:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17CUfrC9hP_MndY1H3-cAR9gQ6VjW9lY0ksFIytSNkTk/edit?usp=sharingThere's the Gun Range event, which is full, otherwise not much.On the 1st, there's Mare day
>>41411655I'm hoping that someone maybe plans an arcade run for Monday evening
>>41411233Such is life in Florida.
>Mare conventions in Poland - Past and PresentO kurwa. Should've planned to go there, I didn't think there would be enough anons from this country to host a panel like that. Please have fun anons.
>>41404667What is marefair
>>41411233replaced a free space with the gator situation>>41411248glad you survived, sounds like a close one
>>41411741Me too, even if it isn't added to the schedule I hope we can just get a few anons over there to have some fun.
>>41411414There’s ways to work it out. Room shares are abundant likely

2 weeks until mare fair i am so exited to see everyponydashie
>>41411414Anon you colossal faggot, just come down here. I have room for a third in my hotel room, I'll bring a sleeping bag and cot.
If anyone needs/is interested, I still have an empty bed in my room for the con nights, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 09/27, 09/28, and 09/29.Cost would be $60 a night for (You). Reply to this post if interested or email me - moremarespls@gmail.com>>41411414Did you already purchase the flight? Email me, we could work something out.
>>41411549>>41411423>>41412037>>41412423>>41412454Thanks for the concern, I'm genuinely touched. But this isn't really a money issue, it's a "priorities issue". I can get the money but I'd have to delay getting an important certification. That certification is the only thing that can get me a tech job. It's a painful decision but I've graduated over two years ago and I can't delay this even more.
>>41412602What cert is it, anon? There are probably some vouchers available
>>41412454Thanks for reaching out, this bed has now been filled.>>41412602Based real life priorities anon, we will miss you but hope to see you next year. Keep up the hard work for the mares.
>>41412641GCP Associate Cloud Engineer, it has vouchers, but only for students and veterans. >>41412668Thanks man, see you next year
>>41412699Knowing what I know now about working in the industry, I'd go to Mare Fair any day. What's the schedule for testing where you can't put it off for a week without significant delays? Is a job acceptance hinging on that cert or what?
>>41412602Not to be a buzzkill or anything but almost all certs are pretty worthless in the tech field. Just take the holiday nigga. You already missed the magic of MF1 and there's no guarantee of a MF3. t. senior cloud engineer who's never once had or been asked for a cert.
>>41411414>>41412602Did you already buy your badge?
>>41412759I applied for 700 jobs, and got two HR screens. In both screens I couldn't impress the HR guy. Getting a certification will help with both getting more screens/application, and I feel like I could pass a screening and a technical interview. What's not to love here?>>41412744It'd take time to sort out some money things, and it'd be delayed by a month at least. Maybe something else would go wrong. I'm a week of studying away from being able to pass, so I should go in for the kill here. >>41412778Yeah. I don't mind that though. On the other hand I'd be pissed about the plane ticket, but that's in the past.
>>41412902Cert's probably not going to save you if those are your stats. The way I did it was going contract to hire but that's a risk and you kinda gotta eat shit for the length of your contract, but it's a very good chance of getting your foot in the door if you go with a decent agency.
>>41412913Yeah, well it's the best thing I can do right now. Anyways, it sucks that I can't hang out with you all, have fun in Florida, and hopefully see you next year!
Minor movie update:All payments are in and we managed to fill up both screenings! I just made the down payment to the theater today. Now I just have to think about the logistics of having 1/3 of the con showing up. I'll have more updates soon!
>>41413005Awesome cant wait to see all you horse fuckers there just don't be dicks and hold all your life size plushies on your shoulders and block everyones view.
>>41407540Even though I knew it was already unlikely, I was hoping that Starship would get delayed the perfect amount that we'd be able to watch flight 5 at Mare Fair. That would've been the most awesome thing ever. But of course that's dead now. Fuck the FAA.
>>41412926Come back next year and let us know if skipping this year actually helped you find a job or not.
>>41412902>got your badge>got your ticket>offered a room for cheapAnon the trip is pretty much paid for already. What is there to sort out?
>>41413005Those poor theatre workers. Imagine 300 dirty horsefuckers arrive at your work sporting life size plushies. I can't wait
>>41413005can't we just walk together to the theatre? I think it would be funny to have a small army of horsefuckers roaming through Orlando >>41413129
>>41413133>*dude with sunglasses on at 7:30 at night rolls down his window*>hey, is the autism daycare having a rare night out?>"nah we're just going to the movie theater">oh. which movie are you all seeing?>"the my little pony movie">got it>*speeds off*
>>41413167>implying we wouldn't surround his car and drag him to the theatre with us
>>41413133How far is the walk from the hotel to the theatre? I think a grand pilgrimage is in order
>>41413183It's like a 14 minute walk if I got the place right.
>>41413174>drag him from the car and rip him to shreds eating him to the bone like piranhas leaving a pile or marrow sucked bones behind and a cartoon skull
>>41413183If its at epic it would appear to be a half mile walk or a quick 14 minutes
>>41413167what did he mean by that first part?>>41413183we should all get naked and gallop on all fours to the theatre and just stampede anyone that's in our way on the fucking sidewalk
>>41413200that's not far at all!
>>41413200Damn, I don't want to get my plush all sweaty and dirty by walking her down to the theater.
Hey guys, after the con I'm going to be arranging a better range trip, on my private property, with far cooler weapons.I have an M82 chambered in 20mm, an M60, an M16A1, a preban MP5, a Mac-10, an AK-47, and a lot of other more normal fun shit. It will happen at the same time as the other post con range trip and cost $10 less. No charge for ammo, I have too much of the stuff. I even have an old ass junker car we can shoot at and really fuck up. If you aren't doing the other range trip, please send me a reply and let me know you are interested, thank you.
>>41413402that's more my style, I might be down. Going to play Monday by ear and see what's happening, but I'll try and keep a wad of cash set aside for something like that (or the arcade, or ???)
>>41413402>I'm going to be arranging a better range trip, on my private property, with far cooler weaponsanon, with this sentence, you just opened with sounding like a faggot trying to one-up someone just to one-up them. I wouldn't go even if it was cooler.
>>41413410Yeah I also have a tank we can drive around and shit, it's pretty cash
>>41413418
>>41413417Damn, I wonder where you got that idea? Was it buried somewhere in the ridiculous notion of somebody on this board owning probably about $1m worth of guns alone on private property that they can shoot all this shit on, all the while being cheaper than the other range trip?
>>41413402I will blow you if you let me empty a machinegun into the car
>>41413402I am now rescinding my offer, and that's because of >>41413452. My grandfather's will was very clear, I got his guns and his property so long as I was not a homosexual. I refuse to risk my inheritance because gays cannot control themselves. My apologies.
>>41413424honestly I didn't even read the rest of the post. I don't know how much any of that shit costs, I don't lurk /k/. you just seemed like an asshole. but I guess that was the point.
>>41413475Well, now I'm not going to let anybody from Mare Fair fly around in my fighter jet, I hope you are happy.
>>41413459Well now I'm gonna can my plans to set up a cope movie theater showing too.
>>41413487Yeah, that pisses me off enough that I'm going to cancel the cope SpaceX tour as well. I've had enough.
>>41413479kek
I want to test interest for a monday afternoon sea pony musical where we tie ourselves to a boat, sink it, get pulled under, and wait for sea ponies to rescue us
>>41413519Im down
>>41413541sneaker bug pisssneaker sneaker bug piss
>>41413541I GET IT IM SO SMART!
>>41413519sounds like a good way to end my post con depression, especially without the sea ponies
>>41413553This is exactly why I thought doing the range meetup post con was not the best idea. Going to shoot before the con seems like the smarter play.
>>41413262Taking her into the theater will get her all dirty
>>41413597Yeah, but I want to have sex with her in there anyways
>>41413575That's why I didn't sign up for it, honestly. Before I leave on Tuesday I'm going to get drunk, turn on the bathtub and just see what happens.
More of you motherfuckers need to sign up for the weddings. I want to see you going all out with a suit and tie, a giant plush, and a custom wedding gown.
>>41408079After many painstaking days(30 minutes) of putting it together, I got my costume submitted. I expect it will be tough competition to beat
for anyone watching the mlp movie in the theater, I'd highly recommend reading through the movie prequel comics beforehand. It fleshes out a lot of the characters that the movie doesn't really do enough with imohttps://ypdl.gdn/files/YP-PDF-MPCOMIC01.pdfhttps://ypdl.gdn/files/YP-PDF-MPCOMIC02.pdfhttps://ypdl.gdn/files/YP-PDF-MPCOMIC03.pdfhttps://ypdl.gdn/files/YP-PDF-MPCOMIC04.pdfmight be good reading material for the flight, maybe
>>41414181II wanna fuck cherry berry so hard you wouldn't believe
>>41414181Good idea.
if only i lived in Melbourne, Florida and not Melbourne, Australia....... I'm never going to have fun with you guys
>>41414282That's crazy bro.
>>41414181Nice, Im going to read this on my 10 hour flight
>>41414282Not that flying internationally is ever cheap, but you're looking at the prices only two weeks out. Generally, you want to buy air tickets at least two months in advance.
>>41414282the fuck anon?I mean it's not good, but buying more in advance for 2000 AUD should be manageable?
>>41414298Yeah I should have booked sooner but I didn't know my travel situation until the end of last month because I was stuck in Tokyo for about 6 months. Maybe next year, if it's even happening 2025...>>41414301Yeah I did another search and got that price too, initially I was checking Air NZ as they had a """sale""" going on for flights to America. It was just the west coast.
>>41414282>>41414310Flying from New Zealand myself, I'd suggest flying to the West Coast and through Fiji Airways instead via LAX or SFO. Then fly local in the US through a carrier like Southwest or Delta. Just my two cents and hope to see you either this year or next
Question about the KSC trip:Is the tour mostly indoors? Mostly outdoors? A mix of both?This will affect what clothes I wear that day.
>>41414464A mix of both. Things like the rocket garden are obviously outdoors with a lot of areas indoors. What I'm thinking of doing is getting a couple of 24 packs of water from Walmart so everyone at least has a bottle of water with them because Florida weather
>>41414473I figured, but I wanted to double check. I'll be sure to bring a hat then
>>41414473>rocket gardenis that where they grow the rockets?
>>41414571Yeah. Only the small ones though. They have to grow the big ones in the rocket orchard.
>>41414282I got a $2300 aud return with united but I booked months ago. I wonder how many other australians will be at mare fair
>>41412902I'm gunna be real with you. 700 and 0 is not good man. The thing that got me my job was having an actual GitHub portfolio. Just start writing some code and reporting it. Maybe find a basic open source project to contribute a little too. Also, and I know this may sound degrading, intern if you can. Internships are the easiest way to get a foot into the industry. It's how I got my first job in the industry, granted I was a Sophomore in college back then. Anyway what I'm saying is build a portfolio of code that hiring managers can look at and go for the lowest tier jobs to begin with like intern or contract work. It snowballs faster than you think.Certs, for the most part, are just money grubbing scams.
>>41414313Jesus fucking Christ how much did it cost you to get here?
>>41412902Certs are cope. You litteraly have a better chance of getting a job by networking with the nerds at Mare Fair.
>>41414914this is what I was thinking toomost people I know never used their certs (including myself, I got an associates degree in Cisco Networking, but landed a couple jobs just by hanging out with people), it was the _magic of friendship_ that landed them a job. Anon seems pretty deadset on getting that cert though, best of luck to him.
>>41414473I really hope my outfit isnt too autistic for the trip
>>41415178I hope my outfit is so autistic it kills people on sight
>>41405897its fluttershy
>>41415178I’ve been wondering about this too. As someone with 0 experience with this kind of thing I have no idea what to wear, either to KSC or the con proper. How much autism is too much?
>>41415178>>41415298I'd say space autism with a dash of pony autism for KSC and just full autism for Mare Fair
>>41415178>>41415298After I went full pony drip down to my shoes I've only gotten more compliments. Last year at Universal got more than ten in the day. You're on vacation, have fun! Go full poni poni it's a blast.Also was wearing pony stuff when I went to the post office to send my /ss/ gift, got complimented on my clothes there too. Go figure
>>41415315advice unclear, wearing a blue uniform shirt with handsewn velcro sleeve patches to wear so I can put a moonbase alpha patch on one arm and the nasapone patch everyone is getting on the other, along with a magnetic nameplate and a ballcap so I look like a total dweeb while carrying a ponied up shoulder bag with nasapone sticking out of it
>>41414657Seconding the internship comment, I'm making $77k as a network engineer within a few years, starting as an intern. I could probably make more than that if I left for somewhere else. IDK fuck all about coding, but being able to automate stuff is extremely valuable, only like 3 people I work with can code.
>>41415323Nah that's perfect
Back at it again this year with more hats for (You). This time, there'll be two of each design for sale instead of one each, so hopefully they won't run out as fast as next year. Look for em at the Equine Emporium in the vendor hall.There'll also be shirts carrying those same designs for sale, 2 each again.As always, no reservations, first come first serve! Also, the Rule #0 Violator hats will be sold at a 50% discount due to both hats having printing errors (one is off center and the other has some ghosting). Damn shame, but what can you do, eh.
>>41415427i NEED that mare schizo hat, i won biggest mare schizo last year and itd look perfect on my marefilled cranium
>>41415427I neeeeed that Estoy Mare hat. Estoy una pequina yegua verde de autismo.
>>41415446La yegua....la yegua...la yegua....
Any other Georgia anons going?
>>41415531I loathe driving through your state every time without fail
>>41415757Why?
>>41415766Everything from the traffic, to road quality, to the fact I was a kentuckyfag so when I went to MF last year I had to go tip-to-tip the entire state, its fucking miserable.
>>41415757I understand you. Driving through Atlanta is absolute hell.
>>41408397i have a shitty pen that isn't good but will get you high fast
>>41414473Has everyone paid yet know the deadline is soon
>>41415757>>41415766>>41415772>>41415782Can confirm, I've only driven through GA in the middle of the night, but still saw some fucked up looking dude approaching a cop pulled over in a modded Mustang on the Interstate, and a Nissan driving over that unpaved bit where the pavement branches off to make an exit in Atlanta.
>>41415757I do too, and I have to do it every day.
>>41415782I did that once years ago, as part of a family trip coming back from a cousin's wedding in Florida and driving through the early morning.Nearly got sideswipped by some asshat in a car that wouldn't look out of place in a Fast and Furious movie. On a highway with very little traffic.
>>41415427Oh I need that rule 0 violator hat
Anons my dad is asking what the convention is called so he can look into it. I desperately do not want him to know its fucking marefair. What the hell do I do?
>>41416409Stop being ashamed of who you are.
>>41416413I'm not, he's just going to be really pissy and annoying about it. He knew I had a pony phase when I was younger and the show first dropped. I could tell he hated it lmao.
>>41416416You need to stand up to your dad anon.
>>41416409Why does he need to know? you should have said "im going to hang out with some people in orlando" - much more generic and you can use the "people i know online" excuse if you dont have friends they know about.
>>41416409I feel you anonI played up the Kennedy Space Center trip and stuff when talking about it, and a "convention like comicon", but since he wants to look it up, better get searching for something else lol gl
>>41416409NAMBLA meetup.
>>41416422I told him it’s basically just comic con. He looked and saw there were no comic cons in Orlando. He’s never cared about stuff like this before, so I don’t know why he cares now. I’ve never traveled put of state independently, so of course he wanted to assist.
>>41416409There's actually a Necronomicon in Tampa on the same dates. Say you're going to go see your favorite fantasy and sci-fi authors, maybe do some LARP.He'll still think his son is a dork, but at least a different variety of dork.
>>41416409I just said I'm going to infinitycon since it's happening the same weekend
>>41416443In appreciate the advice, but he knows me well enough to not buy that. I think I’m just kinda fucked.
>>41416444This would actually work really well, I’ve just dug myself into a hole though because I’m retarded. He already knows it’s in Orlando, not Gainesville, since he wanted to know where a good place to stay would be.
>>41416409tell your dad to kill himself for being a nosy cunt
>>41416461>he wanted to know where a good place to stay would be.He's not trying to come with you, is he?
>>41416477No, but he used to travel for work and as such, has a ton of travel points for hotels and wanted me to use them. So he was looking up hotels in Orlando.
>>41416429Wait THAT'S WHAT KSC stood for?! God fucking dammit I would have brought the Nightmare plush fuck
>>41416569Why can't you still bring it?
>>41409571Kinch here, I’d be interested specifically in riding in the big van and I can help with the cost :)
>>41415531ooh me! me! I'm taking a roundtrip plane.
>>41416569Why do you think it was specifically the Nasapone meetup?
>>41416569>saw an acronym>didn’t bother to look up what it could mean and was content with not knowingDidn’t know we let nonwhites into Marefair
>>41416409You're going to Orlando. Just say you're going to a theme park
>>41415321Agreed. I attended 3 business meetings at hotels today and got complimented a few times on my pony shirt.
>>41416409Anon, this won't help you now but maybe it will help you in the futureIf I go to a pony con, I tend to look other cons happening the same weekend and stay im going to one of those even if its a different state. If someone cares enough to ask for flight info, I just tell them a random flight I found on google flights to the con state with similar departure and return times.
>>41416409At this point it's not worth it to make up stories Just stop being a pussy and say, "Mare Fair"
just bought my ticket, what's happening in cocoa beach on thursday?
>>41415782>throughI had to go to ATL once. Try getting into there.
>>41417064It's a miracle you escaped.
>>41417042KSC group is going to hang out there for a while before heading back to the hotel/movie
>>41415531My international flight cuts through Georgia on weds, so if any anons are flying out that day we can meet up.
>>41415427>>41416266Same, I would buy the rule zero violator hat.
>>41416409Show your dad a picture of a naked horse
>>41416409show him this
>>41417393>inb4 anons dad wants to come too.
>>41404667me in the highchair
KSC Trip UpdateThank you everyone for paying. Just remember that we will be departing at around 8:30am on the 26th. There will be some coordination beforehand which will be handled by myself. Also to those that have volunteered spare seats in their rental cars, I will be in touch in the next week or so.
>>41416569My friend you can bring her, just make sure she doesn't try to steal moon rocks and uses them as pillows>>41417042What >>41417140 said more or less. There are a couple of agreed on locations and I would like to hear some other suggestions from anons as well that might be agreed on.
>>41417507Did everyone who signed up paid for the trip or did a few have to back out? It'd be genuinely impressive if everyone who was going were fully able to go. That's like 50 anons flooding the tour buses with pure autism.
>>41417516Everyone actually paid, there is one that is not 100% but wanted to secure a place to be better safe than sorry. I'm excited and even have a little surprise myself for folks
>>41416602>>41417509My flight doesn't get in until the afternoon.
>>41408079My robe came in. I’m feeling very GREAT and POWERFUL. Do I need to fill this out now to compete or can it be done in person?
I’m nervous but excited. Last big thing to do is get my car repaired and oil changed. I am praying to celestia it doesn’t have a major problem
>>41417533Dangit, well hopefully this is an annual thing if all goes well
My country has declared a state of natural disaster due to heavy floodings. That shouldn't impact air travel right?
>>41417575it will definitely do anon, pray to celestia that your airport isn't damage from the inundation and the other flights aren't affected
>>41413332>went to a ward for 2 weeks over 10 years ago after I tried to an hero>got diagnosed with anxiety and depressionWell shit
>>41417696All this climate change shit is starting to piss me the fuck off. If my flight is cancelled I will Minecraft myself.
>>41417698Just say no?
>>41417702>lying on a form when a basic background check will flag you anyway
>>41417706It's a waiver, so the range don't get hit by liabilities if you decide to an hero at the range."Guy clearly lied on his form, you can't sue us"
>>41417706Background checks take up to 3 days. This is a waiver not a BC. You're not buying a gun. If you want to lie then lie, if you feel that you might actually try to harm yourself or someone else then don't go to the range. Only you can make these choices.
>>41417575It might make the sea route viable.
>>41417767>if you feel that you might actually try to harm yourself or someone else then don't go to the range. Only you can make these choicesLiterally the gun range or the feds could make these choices. That's their job. But okay.
>>41417784>the gun range can make you kill yourselfmeds
>>41417784Stay in Europe, commie.
>>41416409art media convention for networking
>>41417537All the signups will have to go through that form. Any particular concern with it?
>>41417789Not what he meant, he meant>the gun range or the feds can make the decision that you might try to harm yourself or others and bar you from the range
>>41417784>>41417828I mean they can, would be unlikely though if you omit details about your life on the waiver, and behaved like your average normie/gun virgin tourist at the range.Going there and behaving like you want to an hero or "Bring justice to everyone who wronged you", well (You) figure it out.
>>41417857That's simply not true. In Europe the gun ranges have insight to customers' criminal history the exact same way that Republicans have insight into women's healthcare history when it comes to abortion. It's simply about making the government do its god damn job.
>>41417575>flooding is on the ground>planes are in the airseems fine to me
>>41416443Nah, he's gonna find out if he looks into it and the dates line up. I've been down that road before, trust me. Just rip off that bandaid and own it, my parents and I finally settled on a weird armistice where I don't go into too much detail about cons, and I don't really give them more detail than some very broad strokes info. Lying to your parents in an easily provable way is not worth it.
>HOW TO FOLD SUIT INTO SUITCASE>SPANDEX MASK FACIAL HAIR >HOW TO TIE A TIEguys can we postpone the con for a few weeks I'm not ready
>>41417906>HOW TO FOLD SUIT INTO SUITCASEPut it on a hanger, fold along short axis.Otherwise there are instructions folding it like a shirt as well.Just iron it on arrival if it looks too bad.>SPANDEX MASK FACIAL HAIRIf you don't want to shave, get a large enough mask, it'll look wonky, no one will give a shit, actually some variation among the anons is nice.>HOW TO TIE A TIETook me a while to get the hang of it. There are like millions of guides in text, picture and video form.Just do it everyday until the con and you'll get hang of it too. Half Windsor seem to be the popular one, but my neck is a bit wide so I prefer Full Windsor for the wider knot.
>>41417863The gun ranges here don't run background checks on people wanting to use their ranges Only if you buy a gun
>>41416409equestrian conference
>>41417952>get a large enough maskAll the masks I've seen and purchased online are one size fits all. I'd love to buy an XXL mask, since I have a big head, but I haven't found any.
So how autistic can I be? I don't think I should be too much of a sperg. My autism levels really only have a resolution of about 4 bits. I don't have much control over what I do like some of you, so just give me a number between 0 and F.
>>41418067You're still in public but that public is made up of mostly retards who are just as autistic as youSolid D-
>>41418144I think anon was using hexadecimal, not school grades
>>41416817based, want to meet up sometime during the con?
>>41418067If 0 is Chad and F is literally drooling on himself, non-verbal shits his pants autism, you should aim for no greater than B if you want to be socially tolerable, but let's try our best to aim for a healthy 9.
>>41418444Checked and noted.I'll try to stay somewhere around A for the duration of the con.
>>41418067Go for the autism level that prevents you from using slurs around strangers, but allows you to wear SFW pony merch in public. (I'd say to self-moderate the first one based on who is present, but we're talking about autism here.)
Anybody want to go to the worlds largest McDonald’s? I need to see Moon Man. I was thinking either before or after the movie on Thursday night, but they’re open 24 hours so we could really go any time.
>>41418489for sure, hope I can catch a ride
>>41418489Sign me up, I somehow missed it last time. Is it walkable?
>>41418489I would be interested however it will depends on how badly the jet-lag will hit me on Thursday.
>>41418489after the movie sounds good to me
>>41418512No unfortunately we’ll need a car. I have a friend bringing a car who might be able to help us out
>>41418067I don't actually know how autistic I am, but I guess I'll find out when I get there.
>>41418489it's right next to the arcade we were supposed to visit
>>41418529This. I've never sperged out about ponies in public. I guess I'll just size up the situation by observing those around me and then decide whether I can casually say "yeah, the show is cute, i like ponies" or go full mareschizo on everyone.being autistic is a nightmare. the worst part is being aware you have it. why couldn't i be some 50IQ ignorance is bliss tard with down syndrome?
>>41418067everyone there is gonna be a sperg of varying levels, wearing pony merch, carrying plushes of various sizes, you never have to worry because theres always gonna be someone more autistic than you to make you feel better(looking at you, guy who was walking around flapping his hands with his headphones on, and autistic black dude who didnt know how to shut up, god speed you beautiful specimens)

>>41419843usually you can cancel the entire flight within 24 hours. i made the same mistake and they didnt let me cancel the return flight, but they did let me cancel and refund the two flights. then just rebooked
>>41419906
>>41419843>>41419966Call the airline. They can usually sort it out... After waiting 2 hours on hold. If you're truly stonewalled, well you just have a few extra days of marecation. Come to Mareday if tickets are still available.
>>41419843If you cant get them to let you rebook and are ok taking the extra time off, come to mare day!
>>41419987>>41420012>Mare DayI thought of that, I just really don't want to have to spend more money than I have to in Orlando of all places. I'll call the airline and see what happens.
>>41419130nice, will make another post closer to the con dates to make plans.
>>41419843Which airline? Did you get basic economy?

The hotel has a free shuttle you can take to the airport, I can help you get that set up if you want help with itthe thing is, usually tons of people land around the same time, but everyone leaves at different times and dates after the con (and I'd rather do florida fun stuff than sit at the hotel and drive one person to the airport every hour)so yeah I'd recommend just planning on the free shuttle to get back to the airport. Again just lmk if you want any help with that, I'd be happy to help you get set up>>41405088sweet, noted. See you then!>>41406579added the two of you to the list>>41406714added you to the list as well>>41406935if you're just worried about mascot plushies, I'd say go to the vendor hall first. Plushies will be limited to one of each per person for the first day or so, so hopefully everyone who wants one will have the chance to buy onethough the con store will have some other unannounced merch that will be in very short supply... those will probably go quick>>41408510right now it looks like I'll have two people landing around 9:20 and two people landing around midnight>>41409677>>41409862confirming that these are legitcopevan will be run by some cool, trustworthy dudes.

>>41420257Thanks for the offer, I'll email you if I can't figure something out.
>>41420236IMO anon - you should converse/meet with your badge name first, then if you get real chill with them and become friends, then speak on real name terms. It does give you that slight social buffer of not having your real identity known, if you are the type that needs every advantage possible to fight shyness/awkwardness.
