Another Fruitful Meetup

Friendship is Best Magic!

It seems I am now resident Meetup-Pony. Level Up!
So on the weekend we had another meetup down is South-Australia. When you gonna show off a meetup Sonic?
Anywho, it was pretty fun, and bucking cold! We hit up the usual spots, freaked out over some McDonald's Ponies and threw away all our money, as Bronies tend to do. ALL the details below that there pagebreak!


You know what I've come to realise, I'm ALWAYS late for these! This time however, I managed to get Multifish late too! Only, his innate lateness seemed to multiply mine and we ended up missing three trains, three!

I dunno why I'm the camera-pony, I'm so bad! Like this picture:

Healthy Habits...


There's meant to be more food there, but I suck at pointing. Also the lens I was using was different, and different is scary. Please forgive me.

Magical Cupcakes, ACTIVATE!


Apparently there some pretty awesome Cupcakes that I think were made by a relative of Fox-Artist.[1] They look pretty tasty.
Anyway, after arriving an hour late was mingled. I kinda float around, try to talk to everybody at some point.

I want! (Actually, mine's in transit now!)


At least whenever I take pictures, I somehow always manage to catch people in the weirdest states, moments that belie the true natures but make up for some hilarious outcomes. Anyway, saw that sweet Derpy bag last time, so I decided I'd get one, but with Nightmare Moon of course.

FoxArtist was there again with a fresh plethora of custom pony goodness.

You are now Princess Woona!


Sigh, I'm not doing well so far... Why isn't there a filter called 'Remove Sun', or even better 'Make Good'!
That's a pretty darn cute Woona there, not a bad shirt either. Damn Skyrim theme is in my head now.

We had another auction, and this time Multifish didn't drop any ponies. A record!

An INCREDIBLE Box o' PoniesTM


Basically Multifish did his shouting thing, trying sell all the ponies that were commissions. They sold pretty well, despite him using the word Incredible 50ish times. But yes, everyone should head to Fox's Deviant Page and check out all the sweet customs.

Derptastic


Sellyme with a new Octavia Custom, she's looking pretty fine! That Derpy jumper is cool too.
Luna is most contested pony, I had to go up to forty for another addition. I strive for most merch, or at least more than Multifish.

Moar Luna!


The two Fox-Customs I have so far, with a sneaky NMM hiding behind the screen. A little post-ception visible on the screen :) Multifish also got a Vinyl and Octavia for free! Hacker...

Mascots!


Well that's enough customs for now. There was a cool, awesome and rather radical cosplayer there this time.

Rainbow has the best Vocabulary (Scapegoat for mine :)


For some reason, some of the pictures went walkabout, so there's only a few from outside the Gardens. Worst. Camera-pony. Ever... Of all time.
The first thing we did was go down to the food-court to raid McDonald's. I was skeptical toward them having ponies I didn't already have, but then I saw they did in fact have the Elusive Rarity in stock.
Naturally we mobbed the counter and kindly, if a little hysterically, ordered 50 or so Raritys among us. The staff were quite perplexed.

Four of many...


A very rewarding lunch, in my opinion. We then perused the various toy-stores in Rundle Mall and one brony found this:

Wait. What?


That was pretty much everything we did. One last re-group in the gardens and we we're off. Apart form the evil cold, it was a pretty awesome day.
Brony-Joe had the greatest idea too, take groups shots before everyone leaves!

I had to stand way back, much to everyone's amusement


Pinkie Pie Shot, always!

    1. From what I can remember, the small Luna was sold, but not the Woona.

    2. If you mean the Medium-Sized Luna with her wings stretched out, then no, she was not sold. Fox-Artist new she was a commission ;)
