Aaaand it's GONE! · 2:56am Aug 4th, 2014
So it's come and gone. I feel totally drained after 3 days of constant stimulation and human contact. That's normally a nightmare for an introvert like me, but I braved it. Hell, i even did it sober this time! I admit, I didn't have nearly as much fun, partly because I was sober, and partly because there weren't as many events and panels that interested me. Also, walking anywhere took twice as long, since it was more spread out. I mostly spent my time either in Writer's Panels, or talking shop with my fellow writers in the Quills and Sofas lounge. Also didn't help that my friend kept ditching me, and I had a less than desirable experience with the vendor's hall.
Ugh, WLF sells the last of the shirts I wanted right in front of me after an hour in line. I was told that the next day they would have more, they lied. I was happy to grab my second choice from another vendor, so that made me a bit happier. Then I find the rare Derpy statue for $50, but the guy wouldn't take anything but cash, and I was broke save for my credit card. Day three found me ready to buy it, but it was gone. The other toys I wanted were triple the msrp, or sold out, and the one I finally settled on, the vendor JACKED THE PRICE UP! That's right, while everyone else was lowering their prices for a quick sell out, these bastards increased the price because they had low stock. They can go die in a fire. A slow smouldering fire. Yes, Level Up Studios can officially suck my fat brony cock, and choke to death.
But on the good side, I met loads of really awesome people. Writers I admire, and other bronies that were just cool to be around. We laid siege to Tir Na Nog, with 59 writers showing up for the annual dinner, and for one of the few rare moments in my life, I felt welcome. I even met fans of mine! Broohoof to anyone that said hi, and especially if you read my stuff. It really helped me outta my introverted depression funk to hear that.
And now I'm crashing again. My brain is finally accustomed to being assulted by people that being alone feels wrong. Bleh. Now it's time to break out the booze.
Stay Brony my friends!
Sounds like it was an awesome time. Congrats on getting to go

Ah, and see it's either one hell of a road trip or a flight away for me. I would have went though if I had the time off. Well... I would have tried anyway...
Who am I kidding... I would have walked outside and realized that going would have costed more than I had. Still... There's always next year
Feelin much better after a day of meds, booze and rest. Also woke up yesterday to find the item I wanted being sold at normal price by Hasbro themselves, so fuck yea!
It's going to suck when my friends leave, and even I have to admit I consider them friends even after such a short time. That is a rare thing for me. It's made worse by the fact that I had to work nonstop before and after the con, so no free time to hang with them. Next year my ass is taking a whole week off!
So how was everypony else's Bronycon?
2345288 Three friend from Michigan were staying with me, after a long ass road trip. I was broke as fuck, literally 100 behind on rent, but was lucky enough to get a $500 Credit Card with 0% interest for a year. I almost maxed it, despite not getting everything i wanted.
Plushies be expensive, yo!
The funniest part about Bronycon is, nobody noticed my eyes were blue the entire weekend, not even my friends.
Ahh, it felt good to get out.
Also, I got the to I wanted, so the dealers at the con can suck it! $50 on the hasbro store!
Still cant seem to find the damn special edition Pon3 toy, but thats a minor loss. I've spent far too much anyway. Now if only I could get my hooves on the Pics of the writer's get together! Anyone know one of the peeps that took pics?
