>>4805The first year, they needed an alligator to complete the poolside windmill. This last year, they completed it. I’m not sure how you top a complete friendship windmill. But it’s worth trying
Boy lemme tell ya, I sure do love mares
>>4805How do you guys get along to make those video intros for the con? and also the promo material like the stuff in the page?
>>4805This is now a thread for Dashie Fair
>>4810Synchronized swimming spinning windmill in the pool
>>4805MF3 is my first con I'm going to
>>4841sorry dashy, it was canceled in favor of twily fair
from the official website
>>4869No. Twily fair is for jews.
So, another Mare Fair?
We're doing another Mare Fair?
We're going to go bigger?
>>4995>amy is still seethingI'd laugh if it wasn't so pathetic
>>5112Amy New. She hates babies and loves abortions.
>>4805IF THERE'S A TWIGGY YOU'D PREFER PLEASE LET ME KNOOOOW!
>>4805This year will be my first MareFair. Some of my absolute favorite creators will be vendors and staff. Animators, musicians, the creators of some of my favorite OCs.
*spaghetti spilling sounds*
>>5114She and some other artists drew an artpack, and something happened and she hates /mlp/. We made an artpack that has recently closed its donations. We made more than theirs. But she still not liking /mlp/ on Twitter and brags about 4chan clsoing
I'd like to do a panel including most of the vendors for an hour or two and just have vendor story time about funny, sad, weird, crazy, and fun stories about selling to the fandom over the years. I know there is a lot of fun ones.
I don't know who to get ahold of to set up such a panel though, being a vendor myself.
>>5196gary, the maker of your favorite OC?
kek, it was a lot of fun meeting with AnonTheAnon, he has a bunch of really great OCs that I adore.
>>5114was she the pink haired cunt from MF2 that complained about the con being full of "le ebil nazis"? Top fucking kek, she can fuck off all the way to the moon.
>>5202I was thinking Batfang, if you MUST know
>>5455NOT to diminish Gary and others! But seriously, I have a thing for bats
If, say, perchance, I wanted to go to marefair, but let's assume the fact that, I can't go for, say, unspecified reasons, how can I, an anon, help to contribute to it's growth? Any ways to do so?
>>5196MF3 will be my first con.
>>5476convention growth? Fandom growth? Personally I would donate to a local horse charity first. For fandom growth, buy something fun for youself from the many different pone vendors. There isn't a merch thread here yet but off the top of my head there is Flourals garden, pachanon, walletanon, soapguy, azgchips plushies, and a few others.
After that there is the "spirit badges" at the bottom of the badges to buy for mare fair. As far as I know, because of their very low overhead cost they are not hurting for money
Who here is going?
Panelists? Animators and musicians?
>>5503You picked a good one to bust your cherry
>>5565your future autistic friend
>>5580I don't talk to autists. I only talk to well adjusted horsefuckers who don't have any mental issues.
>>5580Not the guy you were talking to. But as a guy coming from outside the country alone, I do hope I make some new friends! Hopefully
>>5604nta but I'll be making the pilgrimage from england, this better be the best goddam nazi horsefucker convention I've ever been to. it would suck ass so bad if I didn't make any frens there, (you) will be my fren anon, this is not negotiable.
This 'image' of MF needs to be preserved
I LOVE MARE FAIR MARES WITH FLARES
>>4810>I’m not sure how you top a complete friendship windmill.12 anons doing the star of david. Post on Xitter. Call anyone who complains an antisemite.
>>5441No, that landwhale is actually an "influencer" with a YT channel.
maime newt is the wife of Big Mac's VA.
>>5690ya, some soyboi wrote it during the harmonycon, I wish we had a proper fight club panel, to knock some sense into their goonrotten heads.
>>5743lel, that would be some funny shit.
>>5748kek, they didn't even deface the signage only a single flyer
>corp in the background with his waifubless that man
Threadly reminder for vendors to bring Cheerilee merch so I can buy it.
>>5748I wasent planning on going to mareflare in florida, but because its naz*s, I just might go this year
Is anyone gonna bitch if I'm in an Aryanne fursuit? It won't be until next year, but I'm starting now.
>>5748Is there footage of the specimen who did that, like, from the security cameras?
>>5779Likely, but good luck getting it from the Hotel, the likelihood that the culprit is also a hotel guest (or could be assumed to be) is basically a given, and the hotel isn't gonna intervene except if there's criminal liability, which there wouldn't be in this case
>>5779I'm pretty sure that's taken from his twitter, if you're autistic as to go after him searching is profile might be a good start.
>>5777>bitchNo one's going to bitch, ponysuits are cool, we just hate furshit.
>>5777blessed numbers confirm we will see some Aryanne ponysuit in the next couple years. Based.
>>5748Would be funny if we all came with fragrant scented perfumes so people would go to Marefair and be taken aback by the smell
>>5683can't even spell nazis right
>>5940Do you know about the snowpity spray?
>>5988just like how jews draw spastica when ever they try to draw swastika
>>5991As Europoor the boarder control will try to diddle me if I attempt to get any mysterious liquids on the plane. And while Im pretty sure I could just buy one and use the whole bottle by spraying anybody within the arm-reach for the whole three days, it just doesn't sound like a great fun to me to work "on the clock".
To Mare Fair gamer room panelist, if you lurk in this thread, could you set up few laptops with Xonotic (QUake clone) with pony mod?

[Embed]https://archive.org/details/xmdl-pony_v4.1>>6008Preach the snowpity spray to them, maybe you'll convince them to buy one
>>6008We'll figure something out for you
>>6019Oh wow, did you type that all by yourself?
last year at mare fair soapone rubbed wolvan down with a bottle of snowpity. Wolvan smelled like fruit cake for a week (or more) even after showering multiple times to try to get the smell out. Wish somebody would post that video, at least 2-3 different anons captured the moment.
>>6065I recorded the entire thing. I can see if I can upload it.
>>5748>oh no, someone defaced my tiny flyer, someone call the cops!why are you chuds such fragile snowflakes?
should i register to the events asap or do i have time still?
>>6068autists love to overreact over trivial shit
>>6086not sure if any of the mare fair staff visit this site
>>6086The event tracker is ran by anons doing anon things most of them are not done by marefair.
Id prefer you register for mine now, that way we have plenty of time to organize transportation.
>>6333What's yours? Do we have a google docs or similar in which to organize or do we just have to get lucky and hope the organizer sees this thread?
>>6334Yeah, its in the OP
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/17CUfrC9hP_MndY1H3-cAR9gQ6VjW9lY0ksFIytSNkTk/htmlview?pli=1These events (Aside from the cinemare and nasa meetup, corpo has cannonized those) are just anons doing anon things. Links to the signups are there.
>>6068Lol, no one cared. It was amusing more than anything. Why do you conflate snowflake behavior to observing snowflake behavior?
>>6086The only events needing registration are things like the cruise and the visit to the horse shelter.
In perpective
>anon notices a defaced Marefair flyer
Kek
"OMFG ASSBLASTED! FUCKING SNOWFLAKES LOL! CAN NAZIS EVEN?"
>>5743count me in for Celestia's star of Palestinian tolerance
>>6406Can't wait to watch Springtime for Aryanne panel for MF4
ive been abusing stickermule deals for freebee stickers for the con, mostly chan-related stuff. heres my most recent design
>>7055Based, cute, and check them dubs
Reminder to the newfags that if there are journalists there, don't talk to them.
>>7179Have there been journalists in the last two marefairs? I haven't seen any articles written about us
>>7252the only thing I saw personally was some normie yt bronies making comments at "huh /mlp/ 4chan made their own convention?" and some twitter fags screeching about the pool swastika. Maybe by MF5 with 2000+ attendants some local Orlando news station will notice us.
>>7252There are few YouTubers and lots and lots of Twitter drama surrounding it. Is that publicity?
>>7316If the (wrong) reputation it has keeps up, someone might show up. This has happened before.
>>7252cause they have nothing. you know, they expect to write an article about actual nazis pretending it's a pony convention while selling weapons and mein kampf or shit like that.
instead anything they found could make good publicity so it's a nope.
EQD is pretty much like this. good news doesn't sell.
I'll be applying to do a panel this year about lolcows
>>6337the one extra event that i feel interested into would be the gun range but well i still got to practice it more here. otherwise I'm thinking of visitng Orlando in full tourist mode, perhaps I'll make an effort for the restau.
still, tha'ts my first con, gotta think of items to bring for sale.
original drawings, like on paper, in addition of drawing RL sketches
prints? ( i can do A4, laser quality but someone recommended a printer in Orlando that might be useful to grab them there for larger formats)
decals?
Enamel pin's. yeah gotta look for that, the problem being >come from france >got to deal with the customs.
mf3 is my first ever con. very excited
Noticed they have a survey for what kind of spaghetti and tendie dinner is desired
https://marefair.org/news/charity-dinner-survey/>>8197>those pricesEven though it's for charity, one is better off getting something tasty from a local provider (golly, does florida have food places I wonder?) and give direct to Snowpity than pay that shit.
>t. ex buffet line-cook >>8199agreed, my father, brother, and sister are chefs. Personally enjoy cooking food too.
Lets just rent out a local church and use their commercial kitchen and make proper food for cheap.
I think the first two options are custom catered and delivered to one of the rooms used by the convention (if I had to guess). The last option is just to use one of the restaurants in the hotel that has seating for ~400ppl
>>8200>rent out a churchI'm listening, it might draw out chef anon from Marecon
>buffetRight, and of the options that's the least egregious, but let's not kid ourselves; if one wants to eat well, they can do so for much cheaper. If one wants to support horses, their money will go further if they donate direct.
>>8200Sorry, I'm a little offended at this. $90 for spaghetti and shit? $75 for pizza? Who the fuck is catering??
>>8202listening to what?
if it was an option then it would be listed in the vote. it is not, so I can't really offer to help for something that won't happen. I still think "by anons for anons" would result in the most fantastic food.
The problem with catering for 500 people (or more) is the insane amount of prepwork. Some of that can be minimized with a good food source, but breading 150lbs of chicken and deepfrying all of it, and the rest of the process will take about 2 days with a team of people.
>>8208I think you underestimate what is and isn't an option. If you haven't voted yet, consider voicing discontent in the comments. Let me just suggest that there will be receptivity to objections to the price point
>>8236Clearly they'll be wearing their yarmulkes. Thats the funny jewish hat if you're unfamiliar with seeing it spelled out. No, $90 for spaghetti is fucking absurd. $75 for pizza is fucking absurd, I don't care how many sides you give. For fucks sake, $75 for pizza. Someone is asking to get shot
>>8238I know the score! The price of food per person is like $10-15! The cost is the CATERING and LABORIf there's to be a charity banquet, let's not piss money away needlessly. That's my point, and I'm the asshole planning to feed the late night drunks regardless
>he's still going
Nononono, let's break this down shall we?
>caprese salad
Lettuce, sliced tomato, mozarella, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
>grilled vegetable antipasti
Grilled/roasted (and seasoned, one would hope) vegetables
>Chicken tenders
Chicken, flour/egg/breading/seasoning
>Linguini with herbs, mushrooms, and tomato
There's probably butter and seasoning, but otherwise pretty self-explanatory.
>dinner rolls and butter
Oh wow! Flour? Salt? Eggs? Milk? Oh, and who can forget the butter! And the time and heat of course.
>deserts and starbucks
Getthefuckouttahere
>but anon, you're neglecting the labor
Not at all. This hotel is designed to service 1000s at a time, they're operating at scale, and either making ingredients in-house or buying them at cost. Probable cost of ingredients - all considered - is probably ~ $15 per head.
$75 in labor and shit? I'm not begrudging paying the people who make it happen, but thats a GLARING surplus that's NOT going to the horses. I get it, normalfags will be into it and not bat an eye at shit like that, but I'm calling shenanigens.
[Read more] >He's STILL on about it
YES! You could get an equal meal at a restaurant for like $40-50! And that's a GENEROUS estimate.
Who on EARTH; okay again, I appreciate that normalfaggots who have too much money and don't want to be bothered will fall pay for that shit just for the convenience, but bruh.
$90? Y'all better be bringing me a fucking tomahawk and shit!
that's why I think we should get a commercial kitchen somewhere close by and do it all ourselves.
>>8300And in a few years there will be a mobile one with hookers and blackjack.
Not a joke.
But for now, I've got a bunch of propane/electric stoves, hot plates, and convection ovens
>>8283>>8240>>8238Anon, it's explicitly a charity event dinner.
The first year they did a spaghetti and chicken tender dinner because their contract with the Hotel required them to spend something like $5000 or so dollars on food and catering, because that was by far the cheapest way to book the venue. So they had a night where they served food, charged like $109 for the tickets, completely sold out the dinner, and then gave the money raised to the charity.
They charge $90 because it's to raise money for charity, and because the event will sell out regardless of how much they charge. The difference in price, I assume, is to reflect differences in overhead prices. I have no idea if this new contract requires them to buy catering, but I know that by this point it's a tradition.
