Everyone Else Is Doing It, So— · 4:21am Jul 30th, 2019
Yep! If you didn't already know, I'm also going to be at BronyCon. I'll be taking an Amtrak down from New York tomorrow (Wednesday). I've already planned to meet up with a couple of people, but if there's anyone else that'll be taking the 93 Northeast Regional, if you want to try and meet up on the way down, you're welcome to try and find us. We'll be in the cafe car at some point or another. I'll likely be wearing a polo shirt—that's kinda my thing.
We'll most likely be communicating over discord (2ndHrtdHer0#6688 is my tag if you want to contact me), but you can also try PM-ing me here. I get e-mails when I get PMs, but I may not see them because they go to another address, and I don't have it set to go off when I get those e-mails. I'll try to remember to change that setting on my phone, but don't count on being able to contact me that way. Discord is much easier.
I'll be staying in the Hilton Inner Harbor, so if anyone else is, you're welcome to try and meet me in the lobby, or at the skybridge (where, if you weren't aware, you can go directly to the convention center without actually going outside) before I/we head over. There are plenty of others I'll be meeting up with in the center. I'll be wearing a green card (y'know, red for if you want to be left alone, yellow if you're open but would rather not be approached, green if you're happy to chat), so you're welcome to approach me if you happen upon me! I'll be wearing various pony t-shirts instead of polos during the convention, but I'll also have a silver badge with my name on it, so that may make me a little easier to spot. 
Those of you that I met at Everfree Northwest last year—you know who you are—I hope to see you again! 
And those of you I'm yet to meet and am intending to, it'll be great to meet you in person! 
See you there! 
PS: If you'd like a way to keep track of the schedule instead of relying on how the website shows it, @VivaReverie created this grid that lays it out much more understandably. I've created my own copy and color-coordinated certain events that I'd like to see and by a certain level of importance.
One last plug (one last time): I'm staying an extra day to go to a Yankees/Orioles game on Monday evening. If anyone else will still be around and wants to join you're welcome to come with me. You can buy tickets at the door, so I haven't gotten anything yet.
I'm psyched to meet you, bro!!
Oh, hey, we are also in the same hotel, looks like. :)
Don't know how much we'll see each other there after arriving, but it means we can head there together too.
(My current plan is to ask in Penn Station if that hinted-at shuttle bus-and-or-train between Penn and North Avenue (light rail station) in fact exists, and where it is if it does, if not, possibly ask if the shuttle buses in fact stop at Penn Station (though I may not bother, since it seems fairly clear they don't from the research I've done), and if those don't pan out, take the short walk over to the Mount Royal light rail station to catch the shuttle bus there.)
((For those of you who don't know, usually Baltimore's light rail provides convenient one-seat rides between Baltimore Penn Station and a station right by the convention center. At the moment, however, due to a combination of a sinkhole and some maintenance work, that light rail route is part of those currently out of service, and last I heard it wasn't expected to reopen until after the convention was over. Hence, plans to catch the replacement shuttle buses, which are at least supposed to be free.))

Same! I have every intention of making it to May the Best Ship Win! I've marked it on my planner that I made up from the grid that was released.
Actually—
If you didn't know about it, here— I'm gonna copy this up into the post, too. I made my own copy and have marked up the various panels and events I'm either definitely going to (opening ceremonies), really want to get to (your panel, Appleoosa Hold 'em, certain autograph signings), or am interested in possibly going to (the Unplugged acoustic concert, along with a ton of others) with different colors. Like this:

Personally, I'd suggest doing the same—I can tell it's gonna help exponentially over the course of the four days.

Honestly, with all the grief that would probably cause, I'm planning to just say screw it and get a taxi/Uber. I think it's worth avoiding the aggravation.
Hi, I’ll be there!
sweet cant wait to see you there

Hm, FIMFiction didn't notify me of your reply for some reason; glad I checked!
Ah, well, you will probably get to the hotel first, then. :)
(Getting a taxi is on my list, but basically as a second-to-last resort (with the last resort being just walking the whole way). To me the buses don't seem likely enough to be enough aggravation to make that Plan A. Thinking on it, I suspect the aggravation probably would be significantly greater for you, though. So I hope you've good taxi and/or Uber rides to and from the station. :))

Might've been because I added your reply after I wrote the original to Famous. I didn't see your comment until I posted the first and then refreshed them, so I edited it afterwards. *shrug*

Ah, could be, maybe; thanks.
[also shrugs]
See you there!
