It's funny, if you think about it, how conventions affect an individual. You might've been close to quitting the fandom, and decided to head over for a last huzzah before fading into the obscurity of the internet (only to inevitably emerge again in another fandom, years from now, when you thought you had put all of this BS behind you.)
This is a new experiment. It is also a Canadian attempting humour, so it will either be absolutely hilarious or utterly cringey.
Be warned: My memory may have modified itself to be more dramatic. Those who were there, feel free to PM me any needed corrections.
Some names have been redacted, just in case.
More to come later in the month.

One of the things I'm slated to do at BronyCon is help with an improv comedy bit called "And That's How Equestria Was Made!" Slight problem, though: The scheduled host, Super Trampoline, had the vagaries of life hit him hard enough that he doesn't have hotel money available at the moment. Hence, emergency commissions. There are only three slots left, so act now and get this magnificent madman to Baltimore!
For those who don't know Wubcake, she's an incredibly talented and sweet voice actor and artist in the fandom. And she's been stalked and harassed online for ages, as well as at Bronycon last year, by a guy named Gundagio (AKA Gunnar Armstrong or Legitman) who just can't take a hint she wants nothing to do with him. And whenever she tells him no, he plays the victim by calling her derogatory names,
Are you going to Bronycon?
Do you like fun?
Then read Super Trampoline's post, Who Wants to be On a BronyCon Panel? “And That’s How Equestria Was Made!” He needs a few more volunteers, pronto!
Even if you don't want to volunteer to help run it, read the post & see if you want to stop by and watch or play.
It’s a lot more ... optimistic of a take (he fails to mention lines or dakimuras or whatever), but it’s still an interesting article.
As for me, I’m slowly chipping away at The Princess's Speech. It will be silly.
PCD, however, is just starting to ramp up. After an 18 hour drive yesterday, I still have 4 more hours before I can officially say that I am home and my convention experience is fully dead and buried.
When I pull into my apartment complex, I'm probably going to cry.
Otherwise known as the horse's ass.
Get hype!
Van’s almost loaded for Bronycon. I’ve got books, I’ve got typewriters, and I’ve got more books.
The run-up to Bronycon has been a mad whirlwind of RCL activity! Five curators are attending (two for the first time!), and one of us is an official community guest. Several of us are participating in the Golden Oaks Bookstore (as author, author
Jake the Army Guy is Hitler. Pretty sure we just proved it in Quills & Sofas. Three times in a row.
Later edit : I forgot to detail out testing apparatus. Context is important.
The game Secret Hitler.

Several items to cover here. Firstly, if you want to participate in the Bronycon Bookstore (I personally plan on converting Oversaturation to dead-tree format,) fill out Aquaman's survey linked here before the day is out. It's not a hard deadline for signing up for the project, but it is a deadline for Bronycon vendor applications.
