Whinny City Con 2017! · 12:46am Jun 1st, 2017

(Once again, better late than never.)


Another con in the books! though i anticipate this blog won't be quite as long or eventful as ciderfest xD Whinny City, overall, is a much smaller con, but it was still fun and i had a great time.

For starters i met up with Nighty Scribbles and Changeling #32 again, and just like last year at this con, Kestrel made the trip and it's always good to meet up and hang out with my partner in crime.

I actually didn't take any pictures outright this time :twilightsheepish: i was mostly just chilling out and relaxing so i didnt really think of it (but i did take pics of what i bought and we have two videos below courtesy of changeling #32.)

But it was still a lot of fun and I attended a fanfiction panel, where i was surprised to see a few people recognized my name tag. We had a great 'roundtable discussion' the entirety of which will be posted below with the vlog.

In general, it was a much more relaxed experience than Ciderfest, and i actually didn't know many of the guests of honor outright (I mean, come on, it's hard to do better than John DeLancie) But imagine my surprise when i was sitting outside of the guest of honor panel and i heard:

"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

in Goku's original english dub voice.

I immediately grabbed my program and realized that Ian James Corlette was there, the voice of Silver Shill, but as he just demonstrated, the first voice of Goku in dragon ball Z before the voice actors were all swapped later on to the ones we know today. It was also at that moment that i found out he also did the voice of Megaman in the 90's Ruby Spears Megaman cartoon that i grew up watching religiously as a kid.

So...

during the cocktail hour i approached him and brought it up. He was surprised because everywhere he goes, he always gets 'goku' so the two of us chatted about the old megaman cartoon and he told me some pretty interesting things about the voice casting business as well. It was pretty cool. I wanted to ask him to yell "PLASMA POWER!" but i held off :rainbowlaugh:

Another one of the guests of honor was DustyKatt, also known as The Manly Brony:

And... well...

I'll let you guys watch the vlog below to see :raritywink:





But before we get to that... WHAT DID I BUY?!

Well, not much this time, i get the feeling i'm starting to really clean out the Wonderbolt merchandise, but i tried :derpytongue2:


A Soarin tag!




Assorted pins:



A Soarin cutie mark patch:



A Surprise cutie mark patch! (the vendor gave me props for knowing it was her's and not pinkie's also. Boi i know my Wonderbolts)




A wonderbolt hat! (Hey, am i being watched back there?)




A cool card game deck that included Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts in it! (That top left random shadowbolt looks a little bit like Angel! ;0)




A Dash poster i thought was cool:




I simply couldn't resist...




And last but not least, i caught eye of this and immediately bought it. A custom painted Spitfire vinyl figure...

painted to look like Dashie!


Pretty cool stuff!



And so... lets get moving on to the videos! Both courtesy of Changeling #32:

The vlog:

and the fanfiction panel!

Had a lot of fun, it was great to let out my inner brony for the weekend :) Looking forward to ciderfest later this year!
