Our Second My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Mare-A-Thon
The first Mare-A-Thon blew all the expectations clean out of the water. And it was pretty much the best night ever.
So we're doing another one.
On Saturday, December 10th, in the wee hours of the morning (for Americans), right after the most recent episode of FiM airs on The Hub, we will once again meet up in one place to hang out as friends, to talk ponies and StarCraft and life, and to simply enjoy an exceptionally fun show together. And maybe to win some more free pony swag because in case you haven't noticed we are still completely awesome.
Like last time, we will be airing the full run of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, liberally sprinkled with PMVs and music and prize trivia and all kinds of win. Once the first season is over we will have a brief intermission, then we'll dive into season 2.
We shattered all expectations last time when we broke 82 people. Since that time, the list of fans has grown. I hope you can all make it to the showing - be it for just one episode, or to stay for the entire run - and help make it the best night ever.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Open night at the drive-in.
When:
- Saturday, Dec 10 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
We begin our pre-show right after the new MLP episode airs on Saturday

See? I told you we're completely awesome.
Final words
Starting December, this will most likely be a trimonthly event. The variables may change but the core remains the same: To get together, to watch MLP, to hang out with friends, to talk about everything, to have fun.
If you want in on this, jump on the chance now. It will be a while before we see it again!
I am Cane, your host, I bid you welcome.
