I'm going to a con.

A PONY CON.

Everfree Northwest, to be precise. Two days from now, I shall be ensconced in a Seattle hotel room, where I imagine I will be obligated to drink a bunch of Starbucks, watch a lot of Fraser, and listen to a lot of Nirvana.

(I'll probably wear flannel even without the city obligation).

Hey!

So we're at Everfree Northwest right now! We have a bookstore! If you happen to be here, come by and say hi. Both Compati and Into the Dark are on sale, along with so many other books, omg. The hype is real, you guys!

Post-con blogs are weird, how do I even do this lol

I had a lot of fun, for it being my first con ever! Got a lot of cool merch, attended a few interesting panels (including Iron Authors; unfortunately I had to miss the awards ceremony because of my flight), and even met up with a few of my EoJ crew. The highlight probably has to be being able to meet some of the fans who influenced me as a kid - got me into pony and what not - and just being able to tell them that.

So I went to Everfree Northwest 'bout 2 weeks ago and I forgot to post about it! Had a lot of fun, and had the chance to host a panel on Sunday, which I recorded (mostly) and uploaded to SoundCloud. Unfortunately I forgot to record the very beginning, so I missed where Relentless, Tofu, myself, and Stonershy gave our names, but I have commented throughout the recording to mark where we all are. You can listen to us all here:

At some point Mayhew had to ask himself if anyone even reads these things...

Any whey, I am now seated among the gray in a little room in Seattle... I freaking hate hotels, it is so freaking dark in here. Even with all available lights on it is still the flat end of twilight in here... so dark... so lonely... Oh well it is less than twenty-four hours until I get to enjoy EFNW2016.

One of the things I had vaguely at the back of my head for 2018 was to try out a con. Or, well, a PONY con, more specifically.

I mean, I've been to various gaming/other nerdery conventions before, but this would be the first time I'd admit to my magic horse cartoon fanfiction career in public. And yes, the term "closeted" comes to mind. I may go in disguise of some sort. Shut up. I'll be like the Thomas Pynchon of FiMFiction.

So, how did this all take place?

I arrived Wednesday, and met Olden Bronie at the airport. We started a conversation that didn't stop except for each of us heading to our respective hotels/rooms then returning to talk at Maggiano's for a couple of hours. Waitress was lovely and sassy and swore the tattoo of the slimes on her neck came from Zelda. No phone number unfortunately.

I'm wondering how many of you ponies are gonna be there, because I certainly am! All three days, August 26-28! Haven't been to a pony convention before, but it's certainly going to be lovely to be there and meet people!

Well, this was fun.

Though I suppose you’d like a few more details.

Well, this is long overdue. Let’s get to it before it gets any more so. (And for those wondering how this fits into my usual blog naming convention, see the flavor text of Experimental Frenzy.)

Okay, time to get into some details. First, here's me at the con:

A little late on getting the word out this year, but I just wanted to let you all know, I'll be there!

Mostly gonna be hanging around the writer track, doing writer things. Also will be doing at least one panel, on how to be a Dungeon Master (it was my roommate's panel idea, and I said I'd help with it, since I've DM'd before for a solid year-long campaign and got pretty good at it). Might also jump in on helping with other writing track panels if they need people, don't know yet.

I survived another con. But as much as I'm glad to be back home and in my own bed to recover; it still feels like it was over far too soon.

Was so great to see so many ponies I already knew, and meet some new ones. Even managed to buckle down and submit a (really really terrible and unfinished) story for Iron Author this year. Even got a couple tshirts signed (Nicole Oliver and Andrea Libman).

As a reminder, I’m at Everfree Northwest and thus this week’s card blog will be delayed. Here are some snippets of the con thus far to tide you over:

I’ll be at Everfree Northwest this weekend, working in the electronic gaming room. If any of y’all are there, feel free to say hi.

Polishing up a fic right now, a sequel that is very dumb and fun. Also, might have something else planned later. And I swear, I am working on that giant YonaBar fic.
