Now that I have your attention, I have a proposal: get as much of the MLR community as possible to the summer BroNYCon. If we're ever going to do something like this, it should be at this next one since Lauren Faust is going to be there.
My proposal, in as simple terms as possible, is this simple plan:
1) Come up with the cost of travel, lodging, food, and other expenses to get as many MLR members from around the world (and their equipment if feasible) to BroNYCon
2) Raise that money through events and albums and such
3) Execute the plan
4) Give whatever's left to charity
Some considerations:
--We would want to get several rooms at a motel so we can all hang out together even when we aren't actually at the con (and to save money)
--Continental Bronies can carpool once we get a complete idea of who all wants to go and who can provide transportation. ROAD TRIP YEAH and this is probably the only way anyone will get any real amount of gear to BroNYCon
--At some point, we're going to have to cut it off. So some people, even if they REALLY want to go, are simply going to be out of luck. Sorry!
--Anyone who can get there without monetary assistance, maybe those who live within a certain radius, won't be given any money from whatever funds we raise. Please do be considerate for those who cannot get there any other way!
Basically this will be setting up, organizing, and synchronizing an entire network or system throughout the WORLD of getting as many Bronies as we can to this summer's BroNYCon. Provided everyone else is willing to cooperate, and you all are willing to trust me, I would be willing to organize this ridiculous endeavor myself. This thread, however, is primarily an interest check: do you think this is possible? Do you want to do it? What would you be willing to do to help make this happen?
Please post this everywhere until EVERYONE in the Brony music community is aware of it. I don't want it to be a matter of "Oh I didn't know this was happening" or "it's only for so-and-so" or whatever. Not everyone will be able to go, but I /do/ want everyone at the very least to be aware of it and to weigh in on it.
Okay GO
