This Year's Experience at Midwest Bronyfest... · 9:58pm May 29th, 2016
Seriously, it was. There were much more voice actors coming to Kansas City, I had a few fun plays on the Wii U (first time playing Smash Bros Wii U by the way), and got some snazzy souvenirs (including a towel with Big Mac's cutie mark .
Day 1: I missed a voice actor panel because I found out too late that they moved the convention to near the airport rather than the Overland Park Convention Center like last year. Hopefully they'll release the footage of the panel like they did for last years convention by September.
Day 2: Making up for that, I came by early this time, watched the past weekend's episode, we had a few laughs and riffs, then walked out and waited in line for the voice actor panel. I thought it would be a typical panel (then again, I have been to very few actor panels), but the fact that they requested that we don't take pictures or video recordings (again, I'm certain they'll release the footage later this year) had me think otherwise. Pretty much it was a script reading of a story by Tabitha St. Germain herself (someone was talking about it on Twitter beforehand, but I don't have Twitter, so I can't say that it was the "big reveal."). I won't give anything away, but it was hilarious to watch, and I can say it in the Fimfiction format:

However, this excitement has left the upcoming chapter at a delay, but I'll finish it as soon as possible.
