So any of guys go to conventions? If so when and where?
-
I've been to a few local ones here in my town and "San Japan" 2 years ago in San Antonio. I saw Mr.CreepyPasta there.
-
I want to go to one someday! There's a FA-run FurCon every year up way up north in the summer that I know my friend wants to attend. BroadwayCon in NYC is one I have my eye on in particular for next year.
-
I'm going to Babscon in April
-
BronyCon this Summer. Going to be on another panel (possibly).
-
Awesome
-
Yeah, it's gonna be sweet!
Gonna cosplay as Fluttershy. Already have some of my costume bought.
-
I'm gonna cosplay as Deadpool. And then I'm gonna make it a cosplay within a cosplay by adding on an EQG pinkie get up (DeadPie) or get the fanciest dress I can find, a pair of red ears and wings, a horn, and then a scepter with a chimichanga box, thus creating Princess Deadpool
-
Oh god XD
Blurr in a dress. That's Glorious.
But that would be a cool spin on it.
I'm contemplating also cosplaying as Rainbow Quartz, but it seems (according to Derpibooru) MLP fans don't take kindly to SU fans....
-
well fuck those assholes
-
Yeah I know, but if someone insulted me about it in front of others I'd probably cry. I get embarrassed easily. So who know. Maybe I will, maybe I won't *shruggles*
-
I just need to find a good color combo for a deadpool suit and a dress
-
Hmm, there I don't know how to help you.
-
I have friends who can
-
Well, that's good :)
I'm using an online thing to help base my costume off of
-
Hm.....red and black....or a dark blue...
-
You do you, Blurr haha
-
I ALWAYS do me
-
Heh, yeah.
-
We should ALWAYS do us!
-
This is true.
-
EVFN (Everfree Northwest) in Seattle looks like it is going to be huge again this year... I hear it is the best convention every single year, since they are so close to all the voice acting and studios. I think I am going to bite the bullet and just got this year. Maybe go for one day then explore that amazing state.
-
That'll be nice.
EVFN is pretty cool. BronyCon is closer to me though haha.
I hope you enjoy yourself there, and buy a ticket prior to entrance XP
-
I just went to PAX South a couple weekends ago.
Might go to Furry Fiesta in March up in Dallas, TX
-
What's PAX?
-
It's a gaming convention if not mistaken.
-
What is PAX? Only the best gaming and com ice convention. They have them in Seattle, New York, and other places. Biggest are Seattle and NYC. :)
-
ohhh a gaming con.
I'm hoping to one day get into the big show. San Diego Comic Con
-
PAX rivals, if not is bigger then San Diego con.
-
Well I'm not a gamer nerd. I'm a casual noob for the most part. There are only a few games I get super serious about.
Now sci fi, is my shit
-
I've heard of PAX. Was it fun?
Also, a Furry Fiesta? Interesting.........
-
Oh god damn it, there was another page. I keep doing this.
Blurr, you need to git gud.
-
More info on PAX can be found here. All things comics, gaming, and entertainment.
http://www.paxsite.com
-
Oh cool. I don't have the ability to go to cons though. I only go to BronyCon because panelists don't pay for tickets.
-
git gud? Chica I'm planning on wearing a frickin dress. How much more GUD can I get?
-
Git gud at gaming I meant lol.
But heh, hey Blurr, if that's your thing, I ain't judging :p
-
I meant at life. XD
-
Heh. I'm gud at life.
-
Life rules
-
Chica I'm planning on wearing a frickin dress.
This conversation took an odd turn.
-
XD
-
As usual. :P
-
Hey people wear dresses at conventions
-
I was saying that conversations here often take odd turns (no matter the way).
-
That is a trope with us
-
Heh.
Well, in this case not really, as it was still relevant to the topic at hand.
-
And I didn't say it was irrelevant. :P
-
Shh shhhh. Just let it happen.
-
PFFFFFFFFFFFT....just let it happen. Could be taken so many ways. XD
-
Exactly ;)
-
I get the feeling that I'm missing something here. ???
-
Huh?
Just think about it.
-
PFFFFFFFFFFFT....just let it happen. Could be taken so many ways. XD
Am I missing something here, or do I just have a twisted mind?
I bet on the latter. ::)
-
How are you missing something?
If you didn't have a twisted mind you'd be missing something.
-
Then what am I supposed to "think about", as you said?
(Now I get the feeling that I'm mostly making a fool out of myself...)
-
Think 18+
-
Just let it happen is a common saying when trying to get someone into bed
-
"Just let it happen". That could mean a lot of 18+ things.
-
And then Blurr drops all subtly.
-
Thank you, Blurr!
See, River, all I needed was a direct answer. :P
-
If there's anything I've learned in my life, its that I'm not skilled at subtlty. I'm more blunt.
-
Wow. You're both thick blockheads *facepalm*
-
I know.
-
I won't take that personally. :P
Okay, THAT topic change was my fault. You two get back to conventions.
That's an order. NOW! XD
-
Soooooooo I also wanna go to botcon. The annual transformers convention
-
Heh. Okay then.
-
I'm here at babscon. The actual con starts tomorrow
-
Nice. Have fun. Take pics and stuff!
I got 3 prints from the small con I went to last weekend. 2 super awesome Steven Universe one and then a really awesome looking 5 Nights at Freddy's one.
-
Sweet! Have fun, Blurr.
How was your convention, Lp?
-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LCEYp7elxKE
Pre con fun time yesterday I show up in the vid a few times
-
It was fun, it was a small one. Nothing big. But one artist was there that made really great art, like she was from a variety of fandoms and all her art is really well done. Very unique style.
There was a small panel my friends did. I just roasted a bunch of them during it. I'm a terrible person XD
-
That is cool you had fun, LP! Happy to hear that.
You looked WAAYYYY too happy on that video, Blurr! Lol!

Rina chan tweeted me!
-
Lol nice. Even though I don't like Rina-Chan, niiiice.
-
Says you have the best costume? Wow. :D *applause*
-
He should compete in the cosplay contest.
-
Just by looking at his costume, I bet he's already the winner. :)
-
That's up to the judges haha. There are some pretty crazy good cod players out there. I think he'd definitely win most creative, if they have categories.
-
Oh I'm competing of course
-
Knock 'em dead! Or alive, doesn't matter... Just knock 'em! ;D
-
I'm rooting for you man! Show no mercy! Take home the gold!!!!
-
I'm at the prejudging for the contest right now
-
I really hope these six take first for the group category
-
*whistles* Original. ;D
-
Congrats, Blurr! :D Lol!
-
Wow, those 6 better win, pretty cute.
-
Welp the contest is over. There were winners for heroes, villains, kids, judges picks, groups, and a few others.
I won nothing.
-
Aww. :-\ Oh well. To me, that costume of yours is still a winner. ;)
-
Huh, you didn't win? Who won?
-
Well the best overall were these two Celestia and Luna cosplayers
-
Hmm, that's cool. Were they good?
-
Better to have tried then not at all!
-
I have a picture with them. Hold on
-
Here they are. The overall winners of the cosplay contest.
-
Cool.
-
Yeah, they are.
-
That's it folks. Babscon is officially over.
-
Oh my god I don't even know where to begin. Everything was so perfect. The cosplay, not only my own but all the others, the basquerade dance, the panels, the skits, the friends, both old and new.....
On Thursday I got to the hotel and met up with my friends as we all checked into our room then we went and got some food. That was pretty much night one save for waiting in the pre registration line for our badges.
Friday was where it all began. I put on that dress and mask and I just ROCKED the con. Left and right people were asking me for photos and I was more than happy to oblige. Pretty much what we did that day was go and see the opening ceremonies where our friends Amber and Chrissy were working as the con's mascot and were doing skits. This year the con was super hero themed so the mascots were in super suits. It was awesome. Then we went and watched The Voice of Equestria contest. its a competition for voice actors and Chrissy. She was runner up. After than I walked around the vendor hall for a while then relaxed for a bit. Then at 8 PM we went to the BABSquerade dance. Not a big turnout for it but I did get a chance to dance with a Pinkie Pie cosplayer intensifying the 4th wall breakage. Video will be shown soon. And that was Friday.
Saturday, the con turned up full volume. The maximum attendance was there and once more, people were coming up to me all day long asking for photos. I wore the cosplay all weekend long. And the first thing I did was enter into the cosplay contest where I think I at least won fan favorite. I didn't win any actual prizes. But it was alright. After that I bought a plushie of the con mascot but there wasn't a lot else we did because not a lot of the panels were really engaging to me. But at the end of the night, me Amber, and another friend, Tony, ended up going to an 18+ panel where we laughed our asses off.
Then came Sunday. We didn't end up going right down to the con. We instead went to downtown San Francisco and saw a couple sights before heading back to finish up the con. I ended up sitting through some of the Bronies React panel but it turned out the Whose Line is it Anypony game was cancelled because Saberspark had to leave early to catch his flight home. So I left early because it was just a Q & A and it got a bit boring. So after that I went to the vendor hall and actually bought a few prints. I'll post a pic of everything I got later. I walked around for a bit longer and then it came time for the closing ceremonies. It was fun to see them all up their acting out their skit and then the con ended. Outside the mane hall where the ceremonies took place a few more minutes of shenanigans took place and I have a video of it. Some of this is even up on youtube.
And now it's Monday. Today we went back to downtown San Fran again to check out a few more things and then we came back here to the hotel to pack up our things. Then the hard stuff began when we had to take Amber to the airport. She just now boarded her plane and already I miss her so much, the full reading of my feelings can be seen here.

We're gonna continue packing up in a bit.But I had such a blast here and now that it's over....I'm sad. But I will always cherish these memories in my heart.

That is sad when you have to part. But thankfully you have such awesome memories together! Sounds like you had an awesome time together, Blurr! That is so awesome!
-
Aaaaaaaaand I'm finally home.
-
Nice. Back to a familiar bed.
-
What an awesome time, Blurr! Really happy for you and all your pals! Even though it is great to see them, there is also a nice feeling of getting home to your own place again too.
-
I realized I may not be able to go to BronyCon this year :/
I'm going on an internship in South America to save sloths and other various endangered animals.
-
I realized I may not be able to go to BronyCon this year :/
I'm going on an internship in South America to save sloths and other various endangered animals.
I believe the first part, but are you serious about the second part? Sloths?
-
Yeah, 100% serious.
My mom has a friend down in South America who works with wild animals (as a vet) and is gonna help me get into the program to intern at this association for animals ^^
-
How long would you be away? :D What a cool experience.
-
The whole summer, I believe, starting in July.
-
That is cool, LP! Oh no, you won;t have any internets!!!!! Where is South America? Like Argentina? Brazil?
The same hotel and convention place that Blurr and that BABScon place was in Burlingame, CA is now under attack by anti-Trump protestors causing a problem there, live, right now.
-
Oh god really?
-
Looking at the news, yes, really.
It was at the Hyatt or something?
-
It's happening.
NBC is shielding a lot of what is happening live, in their news story link below. I was watching a local news network chopper and you can see protestors breaking down a police barricade and trying to take over the streets, but police rounded them up again.
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/protesters-police-clash-outside-trump-rally-california-n564991
-
Holy hell...
-
It is actually a GOP Convention, and you got tons of anti-Republican people protesting, causing problems. Soon there will be violence, car window breaking, and arrests I am sure. Already, events are being forced to be delayed there in the liberal haven that is the Bay Area. Remember, the Bay Area is open to everything, willing to accept anyone and everything, except if you are a conservative.
-
Hey pssst, guys. This is a discussion better suited for the news section >3>
-
I knew Blurr wouldn't read the politics section, so I had to tell him his hotel is being attacked.
-
Pffff, of course XP
-
Oh here. Have a few videos of me as Princess Deadpool

I uh, don't know what to say. Lots of people took pictures with you!
-
I even got a photo of this AWESOME Vinyl Scratch fur suiter. Check it.

-
It's a nicely made suit. Better than most.
-
Lmao, these vids are pretty cool, Blurr!
-
And hey, everyone at the con was more popular than this guy....at least after he pulled this at the cosplay contest.
https://derpibooru.org/1138753?scope=scpe6eaf9333a317c9cbdc76379a138fe4aa3be3ac5c
-
Oooooooooh. Yeah ouch.
That er. Wow.
Those reactions of the judges. The sheer horror on their faces
-
And one of them was jewish....
-
Well things got awkward really fast lol.
-
Yeah. He was sorry about the whole thing tho.
-
Well then I guess that just makes everything all better right?
-
well of course not but I'm sure he meant to harm
-
Apparently he was really embarrassed when one of the judges took him aside and talked to him. He also apparently won that section.
-
I really felt the cringe. Holy shit
-
Yeah he did win
-
PFFFF! Good thing he was sorry. XD
-
I'm gonna hit up one more convention this year. Crystal Mountain Ponycon in Utah. It's in mid june
-
You driving to Utah? :D
-
Nope. Train.
-
That is unique. :D You got people you are going to meet there?
-
Yeah. Hrothgar, a friend of mine, and MissBunniswan are gonna be there.
-
That will be awesome, Blurr! :D
You been on a train before?
-
Yeah I have but not for this long. It's gonna be an 18+ hour trip
-
Eeesh! That's long.
And Utah, eh, that's an... Interesting state for sure heh heh.
I wonder if my "friend" who lives there is going. I'll have to ask him. Which involves talking to him... Shit XP
Hope you have fun though!
-
I am on the train right now my friends.
-
Let us know how it goes! :D
-
Finally got OFF the train
-
Long train ride X_X
-
Hey, no dissing on the great state of Utah! A magical and wonderful place!
-
Do you live here MasterX?
-
Hahaha, I'll say this, the only thing wonderful about Utah is that it had an easy capital to remember on my states and capitals test in 4th grade :P
-
Utah is a pretty state... sure there is a lot of dessert, but there is glorious mountains for skiing.
Enjoy some Utah pics.

This city is pretty damn cool
-
Utah is awesome. Salt Lake City is awesome.
-
Is Salt Lake City... Salty?
-
~Walks in with two salt shakers~
Time to make things salty.
-
Is Salt Lake City... Salty?
Compared to other cities... it is probably one of the least salty.
-
Hardy har har!
-
Oh cool! I didn't know Utah had a convention. Not a heavily populated state.
-
This is the first year this particular con is having industry guests
-
A lot of people you know gonna be there? You gonna be on Youtube again?! :D
-
Not as much this time and that really all depends.
-
Not as much this time and that really all depends.
I hope you have an awesome time.
-
I really hope one day I get to meet some of you
-
How is day one of the convention?
-
Goin pretty good so far! Kelly Sheridan loves my cosplay!
-
I'm here with Missbunniswan and Solrac right now.
-
Missbunniswan and Solrac? Super cool!
-
That is so cool, Blurr. How was day one?
-
Day one was frickin awesome. Right from the start Kelly Sheridan shouted out to me saying she loves my cosplay. People left and right once again wanted a photo with me. I'm with friends and the food is good.
-
You wearing the same cosplay you wore in SF?
-
That's pretty cool man.
-
Yes I am princess Deadpool agajn
-
The rave dance just ended. CMPC 2016 is officially over.
-
That was short.
-
This was just a two day con
-
-
Oh just two days, okay.
-
Thanks for the vid. Short convention, but I guess it fulfilled it's purpose! Sounds like you honestly had an awesome time. :) Thanks for the video again. Glad you had fun.
Weird world. Maybe I should wear striped socks and a fake mustache.
-
How awesome, Blurr! I am really happy for you and thanks for sharing that review video with us all. :D You seemed so happy and it was great to see you SUPER happy. :)
-
Great vid for us. Thank you so much, Blurr! Great to see you having such a great time. You seem so full of excitement and life. I can really see you truly love the people you meet there. That's so awesome. :)
-
(Nice new avatar btw, Silver. Your first if I'm not mistaken? It's cute).)
-
Thank you for the vid, Blurr! You look happier then one man should have! Great!
Oh, Silver's first avatar?!?!!?!?
-
I love seeing you so happy.
-
Thanks you guys. I had a lot of fun. Unfortunately......there have been some complications with my return trip home. I was supposed to be on a train in ten minutes to head back to California. But Amtrak has emailed me and now the train has been delayed until 7 AM tomorrow morning.
-
Ew that sucks.
-
So whats gonna happen? Did you get a motel or something for the night?
-
I'm staying at a friends house who lives in the same town train leaves out from.
-

That is nice. Glad they were there.
-
Finally on the train back to California
-
Have a safe trip back.
This may be a really stupid question...what's a convention like? I have never been to one before :( Is it like a trip to an amusement park with lines and crowds of people walking around or food and stuff?

It depends on the size, but many have a main room filled with vendors selling goods like snacks, food, swag. Then there are many other rooms with various events being held in them such as interviews with tv show personalities, or artists, music, etc.
-
Thank you for answering my question :) It sounds like a lot of fun!
-
Made it home
-
That's good. Home sweet home.
-
Made it home
Glad you are home safe. :)

So while I was at CMPC I was given the honor of hosting the Whooves Line Is It Anyway panel featuring DrWolf, Solrac, Crikeydave, Silverquill, and a few others. Here's us practicing
(Skip ahead to two minutes)
And here we have the whole panel which is about an hour long.
-
That's awesome. :D
-
Wow, how'd you get that honor?
-
I'm pretty close with a few of the players. Plus the first guy they had as host was busy
-
Pretty close to the the players? Or the hosts of the show?
-
The players
-
So the people participating in the competition? How did that lead you to be narrator/host? Couldn't anyone be a player? Or were there only certain people chosen before hand to be the players? Like, they were part of the event, not crowd chosen?
-
Missbunniswan, one of the players, was the one who organized it all and gathered the players. They were not crowd chosen.
-
Ahhhh, okay that makes sense. How the heck did you become friends with Missbunniswan? Mind introducing me lol XD
-
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats a story.
You remember how I told you I wasted a lot of money back in the day on pony commissions? Well the most expensive one of them all, http://fav.me/d54an14, this one, caught the attention of another friend of mine, named Roy. He found me in one of the artists streams sometime after the pic was completed. This was back when livestream was what every artist used to stream. XD. Anyway, he found me and asked me if it was ok to use the characters in the pic for a game idea he had. He was one of the founders of a studio called BogyleBronies. I gave him permission and boom, he brought me into a skype group filled with a whole bunch of people. One of those people, was Missbunniswan.
Sadly that game never came to fruition due to too many complications. But as time went on I began talking with a lot of these people and making a whole bunch of new friends. Somewhere down the line, MBS tells me that she is planning to move to California to take a job at Disneyland. I was sooooooooooo excited because she told me it was ok if I cam down and visited her. Not long after she made the move, I took her up on the offer and went down to Anaheim to meet her. This was the first time I had ever met an online friend so I was stoked. 3 years later here we are still friends and still awesome.
-
^ That is pretty good to know and a really cool pic.
-
Wow. That's pretty cool and lucky.
-
There were plans for me to go to a furry convention next year, but I'm not sure if those still in effect. :3 If it doesn't happen I don't mind. Still pretty cool to be invited and treated out by a client to a convention.
-
Bronycon has come and gone. I wasn't there this year but I already signed up for next year.
-
Where is BronyCon held?
-
Baltimore Maryland
-
Oh wow. Far away. Okay. Thanks.
-
Yeah, it's a few hours drive for me. I'm ded trying for next year. But I'm waiting to near last minute so I don't have to pay for tickets. Ah, being part of two studios. It's nice.

I've never understood fully how you get on panels? Studios? So are you a writer or what exactly do you do to get in a studio or panel? Like would it be impossible for me or say maybe APD or one of our artists or writers to join a group and get on a panel?
-
Maybe you could be a vendor SW. Like make up some unique pictures, print them out, reserve a space in the vendor hall, and sell the prints.
-
I very well could. But I have too many sketches. Maybe I could doodle people's OC's and wishes for a small fee.
OR, OR, I can serve hotdogs as a vendor!
-
the doodles aren't a bad idea. Lots of people do that and they make a bit!
-
That's technically not allows according to DA RULES of BronyCon. Unless you have a vendor stand you're not allowed to sell anything. Doodles or prints. Which is something the Brony Theorist panelists abuse and do anyways. But there are people who sit around and do free doodle sketches for people.
As for me, I'm part of two animation studios as a vector artists and voice actress. So every other Con the studio has a panel, and last year I was on one. This year I would have as well, but I was in SA.
-
The Republican National Convention is currently on and the Democratic Convention is... oh. Ohhhhh. We are talking about fan conventions. ;)
-
Hey guys! I'm here at babscon right now! Nothing starts until tomorrow but the hotel is getting packed more and more
-
Awesome! Hope you have a good time! :D
-
Have a fun time.
-
Everefree Northwest, one of the biggest MLP conventions, is giving out special room rates for those interested before the big event coming soon. More... (https://everfreenw.com/guests/)
-
That motorhome show is coming soon... oh, wrong conventions...
-
Everfree Northwest is coming up... oh my. :)
-
May 12th - 14th. ;D Should be an awesome event if previous years are to gauge it.
-
I will be in the area at the time of the convention this year... but I won't say anything more.
-
Wow, you can't leave us hanging like that.
-
I just did.
-
I will be there, just not IN the convention. ;)
-
Oh, you going to break into parked cars maybe? ;)
-
I was thinking of being a bum on the street. ;)
-
SeaTac isn't really a glamorous place for conventions.
-
No it isn't. I think they should hold the convention in downtown Seattle if they could afford it or in Bellevue.
-
Heh. You know any insider info?
-
Adorkable Twilight & Friends writer will be on call at this point.
-
Oh really? Thats pretty cool.
-
Yeah, but they will probably announce that later this week.
-
That is pretty cool. Didn't know they went to conventions.
-
They don't. They never tell anyone who they are. ;D
-
Lol! Thats pretty funny actually.
-
AT&F?! Hmmm. That would be neat to see them, if you knew who they were.
-
Part of the mystery.
-
Hahaha. Everfree Northwest will be great this year. Not as big as previous years I don't think, but still pretty big. It has always been on of the biggest conventions, and a few years back was the biggest in the country by attendance.
-
It is so easy for the staff of DHX to drive to Seattle too. Only like two hours south for them. Many of them live in the Seattle area too.
-
Hehe. Princess Deadpool is gonna be at EFNW this year.
-
Yep, you are right.
-
I hear that Princess Deadpool guy is kinda weird. ;)
-
You are correct. He is.
-
Like kinda creepy and he likes licking toes... ;) j/k I'll stop.
-
Be careful, Deadpool might mug you.
-
People who show up to Everfree Northwest are shocked by how many artists/writers/content creators are from the Pacific Northwest. It is a large percentage compared to the rest of the country.
-
I've heard that. A creative part of the country for sure.
-
I know what Princess Deadpool looks like... so I will bring my mace. ;)
-
LEt's just all hop in a car head down to Oregon and search for Gravity Falls. XD
-
Be careful dressed as Princess Deadpool, Blurr.
Seattle actually has a Superhero force that roams the city.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_City_Superhero_Movement
-
Oh know where Gravity Falls is based on the maps...
-
Oh yeah, the Rain City Superheros! They used to be all over the news. Phoenix Jones led the band of vigilantes!
-
That ended 3 years ago.
And BTW Darrin. Those toes have to be female for me to wanna lick em~
-
A superhero crew? Place keeps getting better. ;)
-
Gravity Falls is near real life Hood River, Oregon. Look it up...
-
Oh. Thanks. :D
-
Allllrighty guys. I will talk with you guys later but for now work calls. See ya!
-
Take care, Blurr.
-
Be safe.
-
SO!
I didn't take a lot, but who wants to see some pics from Babs?
-
Lets see them. :D
-
Lez do it!
-
Let's start with these two.
-
Cool, you met Tara Strong! What did ya talk about?
-
Not a lot. I couldn't stick around much cause there was a line for people to get her autograph. But get this. I got Tabitha St Germain's autograph too, and when I finally got my turned, she just cracked up. She actually asked for a photo with ME and posted it on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/StTabitha/status/853109618167300096
-
That is so cool, Blurr. :D How many autographs you got you think? Meet a lot of people and probably had a bunch of pics taken I bet.
-
I only got two autographs for a print I had commissioned and printed out. On the front its reserved for the four princess VA's but the back I had signed by a lot of the babscon staff. The mascot actors, the con heads, all that good stuff.
-
Oh right on, Blurr! :D Looks like you had fun. Hope you get pics at Everfree NW.
-
Here's a couple more.
-
Dude, Blurr! These are great photos! Thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of fun.
-
Very nice pics, Blurr. :D Take more at Everfree!
-
Right on B-Bopping-Blurr! I like the photos. Tara's pic with you is cool. :)
-
I'm in seattle!
-
Lovely! Is it raining for you? :)
-
not at the moment but it was earlier
-
Welcome to the great Pacific Northwest, Blurr! Enjoy the convention.
-
Take pictures, Blurr! :D
-
How was day one?
-
Day one was awesomesauce it was yes yes
-
That is awesome! :D Glad you enjoyed it!
-
What did you do on day one? :)
-
Meet any cool people?
-
Well I met Fire Team Harmony. (They're a bunch of guys who cosplay as the mane 6 in Halo armor) They're awesome. Also I got Nicole Oliver's autograph. She wanted a pic with me to post to Twitter. It's right here.
https://twitter.com/mouthnoize/status/863198568487690243
-
That is awesome Blurr! I like that plate Celestia face, lol.
-
Tomorrow I'm gonna get Britt McKillip's autograph as well. Then the circle of princesses will be complete.
-
Thats great dude! You at the convention all day pretty much or you explore around at all?
-
I was at the con for most of the day. After the Whoose Line panel I de-princessed and met up with a longtime friend of mine who lives here but I haven't met before. So that was great.
-
That is pretty great dude! Glad you are having a good time.
-
Hopefully you made it back home safely, Blurr! Can't wait to hear about your adventure and hopefully you got some pics to share. :)
-
I'm not home yet. My flight home isn't until 8:20 tonight.
-
But I decided to get a twitter account in order to post more. So keep an eye on that for more pics to come.
https://twitter.com/PrincessDedpool?lang=en
-
Lol! That Luna thing with the mask picking you up and that pose you did with them all. Great pics. Looks like it was an awesome time.
-
That's Fire Team Harmony. A group of Halo suited cosplayers painted up as mlp chars. They're really awesome.
-
Those are great, Blurr! So you are still outside of Seattle? Just chilling.
-
I'm still at the hotel. My flight isn't until later so I'm just sitting here, doin stuff.
-
Dude you should have been exploring the city all day! Nut job.
-
I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO! But I didn't drive here and everyone I know who lives in the area is either busy or can't drive. Also its raining. So I didn't really have much a choice.
-
You could have walked outside and gotten mugged...
-
Yeah. There isn't much to do in SeaTac. It's just a long stretch of urban sprawl until you hit South Seattle or Tacoma in the other direction.
-
Eeeeeeeeeyup
-
Did you walk down to the Taco Bell? I went to that one.... it was good and seedy.
-
It's sad the convention is held in SeaTac. Truly like the worst city to represent the area. It is just an airport town of hotels, motels, and junk. Lol.
Though I guess if you wanted to hop on a bus, five minutes away is the massive Southcenter Mall in Tukwila.
-
I don't really do Taco Bell. I did Jack in the Box, Dennys, and L&L Hawaiian
-
Lol! Never been to L&L Hawaiian. How was it?
-
The chicken katsu was delicious.
-
I love chicken katsu. Eating at local restaurants it always fun and Seattle is a foodie paradise. Portland is too. Food trucks for miles.
-
I may drive next year. IF I go next year. I want to. So badly. Once you go to a con once its hard to not want to go again the next year.
-
Was it a good con?
-
It twas yes. I always enjoy going to new places. and new types of panels are always fun to watch.
-
Thats awesome you had a good time. Cool pics too.
-
I have more. And then I have bronycon in 3 months
-
You are a busy fella!
-
I bought my ticket for bronycon last year, the day after it ended. AleximusPrime and I have been arranging roommates and that good shit. So you can be for damned certain I'm goin.
-
That will be awesome too! Sounds like you are well prepared.

And the pics with the three lovely ladies i got autographs with this weekend
-
Dude! Awesome!
-
Gonna go to BronyCon with the BF, and my other friends.
-
Blurr is in Baltimore for the con!
-
Ooh, chances they might meet up. ;)
-
Haven't heard from river in a while. Wonder if she's still coming
-
Most likely. I've been talking to her today, and she hasn't replied anything. So chances are she's either preparing for the trip to Balt', or already on her way.
-
Let us know how it all goes. How is it there so far?
-
Opening ceremonies were Awesome! And I met River!
-
Cool! Told ya she'd be there. :D
-
How was it?
-
Yeah I'm curious.
-
We're you dressed as Deadpool at the time?
-
I hope you get some of the famous food from Baltimore! They got some good burger joints... at least Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives says so. ;D
-
I really like that show. ;D
(https://rileysrandomreview.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/diners_drive-ins_dives.jpg)
He's a great host too. Very fun to be around.
-
^ I love the host, Guy, and I like that show. I know watch Guy's Grocery Games. ;D
-
We're you dressed as Deadpool at the time?
He is. I've seen pics. ;)
-
^ I love the host, Guy, and I like that show. I know watch Guy's Grocery Games. ;D
I watched a family one yesterday. ;D Pretty entertaining.
-
Just an update for you all from our good pal, Blurr.
He said he is HIGH on ponies.
I told him not to let the authorities catch him high on pones.
-
So how was it Blurr? Share the deets!!
-
I'll tell when I get home from work
-
EEEEEEE!! :"D
-
Oooooooohkay. SO!
Day one! I arrive in Baltimore at 6 AM in the morning and take a cheap train ride to the convention center. I'm rooming with AleximusPrime and SilverSlinger (The custom jewlery maker) But both of them are still a ways out so I just leave my luggage with the hotel clerks and go out to explore the area as the sun begins to come up. It was really cool. Saw the inner harbor with the old ship tours, bunch of shops, and the con center itself is frickin huge. Wasn't quite allowed in yet til things kicked off but whatever. Anyway. I go back to the hotel and fall asleep for a bit on a couch in the lobby because I Couldn't sleep on the plane. I wake up and see that Silver has already checked in so I go up meet him, and then he goes to try and find out where vendors check in. Then AleximusPrime showed up and we hugged it out and went down to registration to pick up out badges. Decided to go down there as princess deadpool to troll some people and get things rolling. Loved it. Ran into a few friends of mine along the way, Dawillstinator, CosmicKeyframe, Tooncritc and a few others. Got our badges and then I run into some of my old friends who I hadn't heard from in a long time. One of them being my ripple effect. (The guy who introduced me to the friends I have now and therefore helped shape my life) So I head out with them and a few others where we run into the LostNarrator, Magpie, GutiusSerenade, and others all out having drinks and toasting Lost's and Mags recent engagement. That was a fun night.
-
Couple of pics from night one.
-
AWESOME! Great account of what was going on. Dude, I want that desert.
-
Alright so then comes day 2.
I get up, dress up, then head out to the convention center. The second I walk through the door I'm bombarded with people who wanna take a picture either of me or with me. Taking pics is always fun and having others compliment me on my outfit always feels great. We sit through the opening ceremonies, have a few laughs at Vincent Tong trying to trick everyone into saying Flash Sentry is awesome. We didn't fall for it. After that we go up to the RIffing is Magic panel. It's where the bronies react peeps all sit down and comment blindly to a horrible movie. In this case it was called "My Best Friend." Really cringey movie. On netflix. After that we walk about and I went to the starbucks inside the con center They had the unicorn frap back just for this convention so I bought it to try it out. I thought it was disgusting so I threw it out.
Afterwards I went to a few more panels and made my way up to the autograph room to complete my task. I had commisioned a new pic of Princess Deadpool with all 4 of the CMCs on it as well and wished for all of them to sign. I ended up getting autographs and photos with all 4 of them. So that was awesome. Then I went to the bronies react panel that night. Finally got pics with a lot of those guys but I still missed some. Someday. After that there wasn't really a lot to do. So I just got some dinner and went back to the hotel. That was day 2.
-
I have a silly question... but what did the unicorn frap taste like... or unicorn rap? ;)
-
Sounds like an awesome time if you ask me. :) Glad you went and had fun.
-
So awesome, @Blurr001!

EVERFREE NORTHWEST
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fWE_DBoXU2Q/Wg4HvruX5iI/AAAAAAACAvA/WxU_3WAUZ_QIxhZR27dJ4ShwX0BA5tcWwCLcBGAs/s1600/Capture.PNG)
An invite to all to come to the great pony convention around! This year is just getting started and they are going to be revealing a ton more as we get closer... it will be bigger then last year. ;) Shhh. It is located at the Double Tree Hotel at the SeaTac International Airport, about 12 miles south of Seattle, Washington. Still got our same great mascots from the first year way back when too!
Find out more here.
Everfree Northwest (https://everfreenw.com)

Im at EQLA right now
-
Everfree Northwest (https://everfreenw.com)
I think I am going to go this year. :) I did a lot of research and this is the con I will go too.
-
Depends on the day but i can nake vacation time if a lot of us are going.
-
I'm a bit late here but I attended my first Comic-Con in one of the rural areas not far from where I live. The Merced CA Comic-Con was pretty fun; I got broke on cash quick but still managed to take a lot of photos with the cosplayers, an autograph and a cool Bojack Horseman art print. This was back in September and I was on my hiatus from the forum at the time, IIRC.
There's another one in December but the holidays are gonna be so busy for me, but next year we'll definitely try and go again.
-

I think I am going to go this year. :) I did a lot of research and this is the con I will go too.
So is this a thing a lot of people plan to go to this year? I mean, I CAN. I CAN go if enough people are going to go.
-
I won't be there!
-
I was there this past year. It was a lot of fun. If all the cards are right, I do plan to return next year as well.
-
Depending on things, I might go.
-
Babscon has begun.
Check out @Toilet__Sparkle’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/Toilet__Sparkle/status/979829659574583296?s=09
-
Have fun Blurr!
Toilet Sparkle? Is she like... Twilight as a toilet? :D ;D
-
Lots of new announcements for Everfree.
https://everfreenw.com
BronyCon has added a new speaker.
bronycon.org
-
Everfree Northwest is MAY 18-20TH in Seattle. If you like ponies and nerdy culture and are going to EFNW, check this video out. Some cool locations for nerds real close by. Seattle is home to pretty much everything tech.
-
I wanted to go this year. I went last year. But unfortunately I couldn't afford to this year. But I WILL be at Bronycon in July.
-
Should be a great event.
-
It will be. Maybe I'll meet some more easterners. I DID meet River last year so that was great.
-
I do want to go to at least one convention before this fandom stops them.
-
Well that all really depends on which one you want to get to. BABScon is the one I work for in San Francisco. Bronycon is in Baltimore on the complete opposite side of the country. And then there are more and more in between.
-
You folks and your big city conventions. I'm going to the best convention of all.
Anyone who is anyone is going to the LEAF RAPIDS BRONY MEET in Manitoba.
-
Bronycon was great! But......unfortunately the next one in 2019 will be its final show. The post con depression has hit before the con even officially ended.
-
Glad you had fun, but it is expected that pony cons will quickly disappear. Weeding out "the rest" and it will leave just a few elite ones.
I am predicting though that Everfree Northwest will be one of the remaining few. It is currently the longest running (https://twitter.com/EverfreeNW) 3-day pony convention in the world.
-
I saw a few other messages around with some good points. This convention is dying but the fandom is not. And while this light goes out on this con, others around are still booming. BABScon. Everfree, Ciderfest, Whinny City.
Yeah. Its the end of an era but this fandom, which is still such a huge part of my life, is still going strong. And that makes me smile.
-
Thats good to hear. Many of the conventions will exist, mainly in the west. The decline of eastern conventions will continue, but o will allow for smaller ones to gain some traction. A lot of the brony fandom out east will combine with things like comic-cons and PAX-EAST or whatever it's called.
You know what they say, the west just keeps growing. :)
-
I'm surprised it took this long.
Vancouver BC is now getting their own pony convention called Vanhoover. (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/08/vanhoover-pony-expo-announces-2019-date.html#more)
Long since the beginning of the pony fandom, Seattle's "Everfree Northwest" as been one of the largest pony conventions in the world drawing in mass numbers. We'll see how Vanhoover fairs since it is sneakily going a few months before Everfree. Note though that Seattle's is during a nice weather period and Vancouver's will be during the dead of winter.... January 2019. Possibly a bad mistake on their part.
We'll see how it goes. Both convention's home site's can be seen below.
https://everfreenw.com
https://vanhoover.ca
-
Everfree Northwest is coming up again!
https://everfreenw.com/news/
-
I fear they will announce it will be their last year. I hope not.
-
Are there a lot of pony conventions still taking up large convention centers and stuff?
-
So who made it to Everfree Northwest and how was it?
Next year they are going to be at a new location further from the airport at the ritzy and really nice Hyatt Regency in glamorous Bellevue, Washington.
-
I was there. Posting pics already to my Twitter
https://twitter.com/princessdedpool/status/1130352980102803456?s=21
-
RIGHT ON DUDE! Tell us some deets! How was it?
-
Ohhhhh it was sooooooooo much fun. I had a blast being Princess Deadpool again. A few items I will disclose but a few I will not just yet because I wanna wait until video footage gets uploaded to youtube. Hopefully someone got it. Anyway, I bought a few things from the vendor hall. Namely an RD blanket, a Starebucks shirt from Silver Quill and an Autumn Blaze scarf. I did get a few more things as well but I bought those from the charity auction. I took pictures with all six of the student six as the princess with all of them holding my gun. You can just click on the twitter link to go and find those.
The big Gala Saturday night was blast. I got to see Eiliemonty perform for the first time as well as BlackGryph0n. Always fun seeing him.
Will disclose more in the morning if you so want me to.

Eilie was the one singing. The Pinkie Pie was someone else
-
I like how it's just "someone else." Oh well, we tried to pry it out of you. ;) Lol.
-
We may never know. That may be the intent.
-
This needs to be posted here. Last BronyCon I think?
So I'm doing this!
