Bronycon, perhaps obviously, is about friendship. About meeting new people, reconnecting with old ones. The first year I went I made a post like this, but last year I ran out of energy before I really could put it together and then it just took too long. I did not want to make that mistake this year; you guys, all of you that I met and chatted with, are what make Bronycon what it is, and I want to make sure to acknowledge this. So, here’s to all of you wonderful bastards for being there, and

No Highlight yet (it's only Wednesday as I write this!), just a heads-up that some edits had been made to the Highlights that are already up.

Day one. I make it to the "Them's Writin' Words" panel five minutes late. From my spot at the back, I can't tell if any of the panelists recognize my battle-jacket. The panel is good, but I'm nervous about what happens after, because it includes two people I've never met in person. One is an Ewan McGregor-looking dude called AShadowOfCygnus, who is arguably my biggest fan. The other is Scribbler, who... is Scribbler.
