I'm too tired to say anything much right now, but my highlight may well have been EileMonty's singing. Here's her set list:
1. My Funny Valentine
2. Pinkie's Brew
3. The Moon Rises
4. Diamonds are Forever
5. Snowdrop's Lullaby
6. Everytime We Touch
7. Dark Horse
8. Jump Up, Super Star!
9. The Magic Inside
10. I am Octavia
11. Die in a Fire
12. Picture Perfect Pony
13. I'm Nerdy!
Ghod, that sounds awesome!
That sounds great! I hope you had great fun, man.

It was incredible. There's a story behind it... in 2013, the first MLP con I ever went to, BUCK, also had EileMonty as a guest. She sang "I am Octavia" -- my favourite of her songs -- and I missed it, because I was in a side room watching The Living Tombstone play obscure stuff I knew nothing about. So I thought I'd never hear her sing it live. Five years later, I got my chance. I don't mind saying I had tears in my eyes. It was a really special moment.
As it happens, a fellow attendee recorded it -- the con people are doing an official video, but they're always really slow. This one was taken from the midst of the crowd, so there's a lot of noise. I was up on a side balcony and the sound was much clearer, but I wasn't recording. Still. here we are:

Sweet! Let us all know when the official video is released, would you please?

I'll try to! But don't hold your breath -- it took months last time.
