BronyCon 19: The Long Road and an End of an Era. · 4:34am Aug 29th, 2019
I am gonna preface this with an apology: Due to Google/Google Drive, a half destroyed Phone and poor internet this was delayed until now and I am truly sorry for that!
So I already had this written out, but sadly Google Docs Flubbed it and I lost it and it's back up so sorry if this is all around the place. But I am trying to remake this from memory. So I will be keeping it short.
Day: 0 Badge day) Shakespearicles, Kitwit, Crystal, GaryOak, The_Horsevoice, Reia Hope, B25, GAP Jaxie and Penstroke had all decided to meet up at Hooters (this was mostly my fault due to having to ask for a Delay due to certain things) I met up with them there at around I think Noon-ish? Boy was that a Hoot, my first time in a Hooters was nice to say the least and it was nice to talk to all of them Face to Face.
From Hooters (and with all of us having drinks in us) we made our way to BCC to get our badges and arrived early. We sat on the upper terrace (Above the water fall) in Harmony Hall and planned out our Events we wanted to see. Once Registration Hall opened we got our Badges and our Panelist tags!
From there we wen't to the Hotel they were staying at to plan some things out and on the way we managed to get a look at the Badge Line and whooooo boy was it large (I had video of it but it's lost in my phone somewhere) It wrpped ALLLLL the way from the main doors to the SkyBridge that leads to the Hilton.
Day:1 First day of Con) This was the first day of the Con and let me tell you, it was Hectic! Vendor Hall line was Massive!
At 4:00pm was Kitwits first Panel: KnitWits Tutu's for you and boy was THAT alot of fun! I loved being able to help out and I will never forget it until the day I die! I also Signed up this day for Shakespearicles My Little Assassin!
I got into Vendor Hall later on this day due to a Cluster with the Vendor Hall lines and the Opening Ceremony lines
I Reserved a Pair of Flight Googles! (More on those later)
I also bought two Thestral Plushys!
I love these two! I also wanted a Luna Plushy but sadly with how limited on money I was I couldn't afford $250 
Day 2: Half way there!) I got to the Con early this day and had a look around, had a play in the Arcade that I didn't get to do on Day one. At just before 1 pm I met up with Knitwit for her second and final round of Tutus for you and had a Blast as we Filled up all four tables given to us!
I lined up for Vendor Hall once again and picked up and paid for my Pair of Flight Googles!
I also held up my promise of helping out on knitwits last panel: Show the Power of Friendship-Share a Friendship Bracelet! I had alot of fun doing this one, I even made my own! The dude that was supposed to help flaked out towards the end or so I was told.
The Grand Galloping Gala was this day too and from what I heard the next day it was kinda a blow out.
Day: 3 Getting closer!) This day I once again got into the Con early (so early in fact I was there before BCC even Opened XD) and went strait for Hall 306 to sign up for Gopher duty (My plan was to pay back KitWit for her kindness over the course of the Con and I figured what better way then to earn the Badge Money back! but more on that later) I got my Gopher Badge and Time card and was only in the room for all of maybe 26 minutes before I was snagged and taken to help with the Hall of the Moon and The Hall of the Stars for Line Duty!
I was on Line Duty pulling Double hours for the next ELEVEN HOURS (28 hours in double time XD) so I pretty much set the first and last Gopher Record by earning my Badge back in a Day!
There's Proof if you don't Be-leave me! I can now Brag I set a Con Record!
I also managed to get a good few photos of various Cos-players which you can View Here!
I also managed to get a Photo of Shakes, Knit and Crystal in their Gala Outfits of Shining Armor, Cadance and Chrysalis!
Day: 4 The end of an Era!) I spent a good amount of this day in the Arcade before heading to Stable Top Gaming, here I got recruited into a game of Buck and Oh MAAAN was THAT fun! during the game (Of which I played a Thestral Warrior with mid-game magic, I got some extreme luck on rolls, Market and Loot. I never wen't down the Entire Game XD) I sent a Text to Knitwit asking if they were gonna be coming into the Con today and if they were to meet me at Stable Top as I had something for them! So about half way though the game Shakes, Knitwit and Crystal (Shakes and Knitwit were dressed up and Mister and Misses Cake) show up.
SO nervous as I am I open up my Surprise with "I did something stupid" which is true, even hours on my feet it no joke! I pull the wad of money out of my pocket and if I remember right I proceeded to say "You all did so much for me, way more then you had any obligation to do" and tryed to give it to them (their Eyes are wide btw) but Knit refused to take it saying something along the lines of "Thank you but we don't need it, you keep it and use it for what ever you want" I was blown away, I wasn't expecting this so I just Thanked them, Hugged them and took the above picture and then they left and I went back to the game of buck.
After we finished the game, I peeled off and headed for the Vendor Hall to snag some more Swag and purchased a bunch of buttons. After that I headed for Registration to line of for Closing (Sadly I didn't get in) I got there early and spent time in line talking to others around me whiel the staff set up Screens which then played the Charity Auction. During my time in Line the BC Staff were setting up for a final picture so I took the time to get a Thank you Staff chant going, if you were there then yes that was me 
The Closing Ceremony, while a Cluster, was amazing and saddening. I will forever remember this.
So in Closing and to sum up my feeling, it's a bit heart wrenching to see such an Amazing Con go the way of the Dodo. But at the same time I am glad I got to go, It has given me memories to last a Life Time and that alone is worth the pain and the Greyhound trip to get there.
This entire Experience has given me a drive, I want to see MORE Cons. Thus I am already setting up plans for attending Either Everfree North-West or Trotcon next year!
I hope to see you all at either one!
Whelp that's all, I just spent the last...... Blinks Three Hours Re-writing this. By Luna's Magnificent Backside that took longer then I thought it would!
Have a good Night all and May Luna Guard Your Dreams!
Nice post! And nice pictures too!
