Well, now I know what it feels like to be horse famous. · 6:02pm Apr 24th, 2014

Just got back from BABScon in San Fransisco yesterday, and let me just say, that's gonna be the highlight of my year!

Why? This picture should explain it:

Sadly, I wasn't able to get a pic of the whole panel... but that should give an idea.

Anyway, BABScon was wonderful, and it was truly astonishing to sit alongside the great and the good of horseword writers and be considered one of them!
A big thanks to everyone who came to see it, and even more to my fellow panelists, not to mention Super Trampoline for asking me to do it!

That said, next year I think I'll be going to Everfree NW again instead... it's just so much closer, and it has a higher focus on writing.

Awesome! :) Wish I was there to see you guys. That's the first time I've seen pen stroke, regidar, and electreexcessive as well. All you guys look awesome :) Hope to probably meet you guys in the future :3

Lucky ducky... That sounds really fun

I am shocked, utterly shocked, to discover that you do not actually look like Colgate. :pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp:

Why would Iook like Minuette (Colgate)?
My avatar is Sea Swirl (Seafoam).

2042378
It's the best thing ever. :rainbowkiss:

2042331
Sooner or later, there's supposed to be a video of it online.

I wonder what it was like to meet them...

2042437
Fun, enlightening... and oddly reassuring. ^.^ A lot of the same issues and gripes. :rainbowlaugh:

2042414
Well, whoever it is that you don't actually look like, I am shocked to discover that you don't actually look like her. :pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp:

It was an absolute honor to be on the panel with you guys. Especially hanging out with ya after the fact was super fun.

2042453
It's true.
I'm actually not a pony. :rainbowderp:

2042472
Or is it? :ajsmug:

2042501
Well, the hanging out before it was fun. Sadly, I had to to go pretty early on Sunday.

Oh well, still had fun. :trollestia:

2042513
Ha :rainbowlaugh:
I take full responsibility for the parasprite infestation caused by the one I inadvertently brought attached to my head.

I feel so old. You guys all look the same age as my kids. :raritycry:
Maybe if I can slip $20 out of my paycheck every week and stash it somewhere, I could tell the wife I'm on a business trip. "Honest, honey. Everybody at the office meeting will be wearing My Little Pony t-shirts."

2042555
Eh, I'm older than I look, as are a lot of the panelists there. (Except Regidar).
(28, if you must know.)

Anyway, that's pretty much what I told my boss at work when I asked for time off. :rainbowlaugh: I told them I was going to be speaking at a writer's convention... which is pretty much true.

2042510
We still need to collab on some super crazy ridiculous story. Thanks for the follow by the way X3 Also, the angle of that picture makes me look far more fit and attractive than I actually am X3

2042613
My girlfriend's awesome photo skills. :twilightsmile:

But yeah, we do need to collab.
I had one idea about writing a universe where ponies, anthro ponies, and humanized ponies all live together and interact every day... that strike your fancy?

2042634
Sure. Sounds like somethin I could get into.

Awesome dude, congrats on being on a panel. I bet it was a blast. :twilightsmile:

Was this your first pony convention?

2042647
Nice. ^.^
Setting: check.
Now we just need a plot and characters. :rainbowlaugh:
PM me!

2042651
Nope, nope. That's my third so far, though it's my first time on the other side of the panelist's table.

2042837
He's actually pretty cool in person. :rainbowlaugh:
From what I saw, anyway.

2042778
Yep, keep those hipster glasses handy. :rainbowkiss:

2042915

For a brony, I guess, maybe.

2042555 Tell me about it. I felt like I was the oldest guy in the room almost everywhere at BABSCon... :ajsleepy:

2046225
It makes you special. :twilightsmile:

2046322 Yeah, "special" as in I'll soon be eligible for the Senior Special at any restaurant. :raritycry:

It's cool, though. I got to grow up in the 80's.

First of all: So that's what Pen Stroke Looks Like
Second of all WAY TO GO !!!! :pinkiehappy:

How did it feel to be basted with the bearnaise of approval? :yay:

2135553
I like bearnaise. :rainbowkiss: Approval has never been so tasty.

The fresh sprig of chervil to top it off, though, is that I got asked for my first autograph. :twilightsmile:
