G5 - Where is Sunny's Mom?

Where, indeed, is Sunny's mother? We see Argyle, her dad, and the movie very strongly implies he's dead -- or has been missing for years, presumed dead -- but there's no sign of her mother anywhere.

Ropecon, the premier Finnish RPG convention, was held this weekend in Espoo, and I was there, too.

During those three days, I spotted two cases of pony cosplay (a Fluttershy and a very good Elusive, with top hat, too!), couple of people with pony-themed T-shirts, half a dozen folks with Mane Six badges and a guy with a Rainbow Dash cellphone decoration dangling from his bag. The official verdict is that bronies and pegasisters are well represented among the Finnish geekdom!
