ROTLcon · 2:48am Nov 10th, 2013
I recently attended the Running of the Leaves convention in Colorado. It was a first time con, brand new. Awesome times there. Met some great people and had some fun. I bought a box with Solrac's signature on it for seven dollars during an auction and was able to see the rarest pony card ever sold for $120. Hey, if you lot are ever in Colorado send me a message. It would be a pleasure to meet any of you.

Funny, I'm at Orycon (general sci-fi/fantasy con) right now. Seems like everyone is at cons. I'm sad that Pony (and pony cons) weren't a thing back when I last lived in Colorado in 2006. Now I'm stuck waiting for Everfree again here in the northwest.
Speaking of... Remember Piquo? He got put in charge of the writing track for EFNW this year, and Horizon and I are assisting. I'm really looking forward to it, especially after this Orycon. The weird thing is that I'm at a con that's been running 35 years, and is theoretically larger and more "important." Yet I'm actually finding it compares poorly to Everfree on many counts. I thought Pony was maybe just a subset of sci-fi/fantasy, and that a more general con would mean higher quality music, art, costumes, etc. But it's just the opposite. Hopefully ROTL kept up the pony quality for ya!

Hey good to hear from you! That's awesome about Piquo Pie; I will go congratulate him. Sorry about the late reply; finals and work picked up drastically. ROTLcon was great, with plenty of pony to go around. You should join us next year.
