Cedar Point Summary

This weekend, we got to meet some of our neighbors from the north. Hello, Michigan Bronies! You guys are always welcome in our shed. We had about 30 people in our group at Cedar Point, and many of us were brohoofed by others at the park. The whole weekend was tremendous fun, and we'll definitely be doing this sort of thing again at some point.

Along with this writeup, here's some more photos. The platefics will be posted on this blog separately once they're transcribed.

Cedar Point details

Here's the rough plan for Cedar Point. We will be in the park on Saturday, May 19, though we'll be getting there some time Friday night so that we can travel up at our leisure and get some rest first. This way, we can get into the park early on Saturday and enjoy the entire day there. Then we'll hang out in the room Saturday night, probably get a bit more sleep, check out Sunday and go do whatever else there is to do in Sandusky (I hear there's a nice amusement park in the area.... oh wait)

Tickets for this will be $30 per person with a nice fancy group discount. For accommodations, the most sensible arrangement is probably a cabin at Lighthouse Point, which can hold eight people comfortably and works out to about $50 per person for the weekend. (This is probably an overestimate and the prices might go down quite a bit. I'll let everyone know.) I will have everything finalized and will take payments for this on May 7, and I will need the money by the 14th. If for some reason you can't pay me by then or don't know if you're going, ask me and we'll figure something out.

Want to go? Email me at starshine@derpymail.com and let me know! If you can only stay one night, tell me and I'll work with you.

A couple reminders

If you want to go to ACen, you've got until March 1 to pay if you want to get a special badge with "Ohio Bronies" written on it. (They're also slightly cheaper than the normal badge price.) If you don't know what this is about, contact Darkly Cute.

We're also looking for more confirmed attendees to the planned Cedar Point trip in May. So far we only have three going; we need at least fifteen in order to get a group discount, and this event won't happen without one since that practically doubles the ticket price. Get in touch with Starshine for this. (You won't need to pay for the ticket for quite some time, but we do need to know you're planning to go.)

Meetup plans

We have been sort of slacking in keeping the blog updated with the meetups we've been talking about, so have four five at once. We'll be posting more details about all of these as their times approach; this is just some preliminary information.
