Bronycon 2018 Reflections Part 4: Closing Ceremonies · 7:22pm Nov 27th, 2018
Part 4: Closing Ceremonies
Part 4: Closing Ceremonies
Against all odds, I actually went to Bronycon this year.
Though it's a little strange. Being able to attend Bronycon feels like an absurd luxury I didn't expect to ever afford. I guess I'm just so used to being the one that says: Well I'm glad those other people had such a nice time that it feels incredibly strange to get to participate. And it feels wrong for me to go to something that so many others can't go at all.
BronyCon 2019…not just my second BronyCon, but the final BronyCon. I had been looking forward to coming to this convention since that fateful announcement at BronyCon 2018 that this would indeed be the final one. And it took quite a bit of sacrifices to actually get there, as a job loss and a lawsuit did my wallet no favors.
So, who is hyped for BronyCon 2019! With such a big lineup including Bonnie Zacherle and Lauren Faust themselves, this is truly shaping up to be a con to be remembered!
In that spirit, I have gone over the posts that I made of BronyCon 2018, reminiscing of the memories that were made then. And I'm really looking forward to making new ones now.
Otherwise known as Bronycon 2015, for those of you that don't speak horse.
Well, it's that time of year again, much like how three days ago, it was that time of year again. Bronycon 2015 has come to a grand and sad conclusion, and already I'm back at my computer, at home, typing this up to relive those moments just one more time.
From 3-hour lines to terrible and drunken clop story readings late at night, it was a wild time.
I've got three post BronyCon posts to make. I want to make one for each panel I was on, covering a few things I didn't get to or thought up later, linking to relevant people and things, etc. Those should be interesting and informative even if you didn't go to BronyCon. This post is the "I had so much fun and met so many cool people!" post, along with notes for next year, and thank yous to the wonderful friends who made this so much fun. So skip this one if those annoy you, but you might want to
After hours and hours of asking if we're there yet and insisting Sunset Shimmer is best pony, Corejo and Wanderer D let me go home. I think they just wanted me to stop bothering them. Or something.
Huzzah!
A proper post-Bronycon blog will come later.
First off, I rescued an alpaca plushie from quills and sofas where he seems to have been abandoned friday and never rescued. If anyone knows who his owner is please put them in touch so he can get home. I'll gladly keep him, but I hate the idea that someone is missing him.
I'm going to bronycon this year.
See some of you folks there I suspect?
Let me know.

Thanks to an extremely generous friend, I have managed to acquire accommodations for Bonycon this year!
Apologies for the overdue post, but as soon as I got back from Bronycon I came down with a bug and was laid up for the week.
Anyway, first con ever and it was pretty sweet and pretty much what I expected.
Gonna give you guys a highlight reel then get onto the souvenirs I bought from the vendor's hall.
Let's break it down!
So, I have been a very busy person. Below the cut is info on BronyCon and on my upcoming novel. If you're concerned about my lack of pony words and/or blogging, I promise I will be back to that soon. I just have about ten projects going on at once right now.
Well, so far, I have met:
Charlemange, of Snowdrop fame; he sat next to me on the plane ride over here. It was cool chatting to him.
Four people on the light rail whose names already elude me. Sorry, guys, it was nice chatting to you, but apparently my brain was already zombifying. One of them was an artist who printed out a ton of Twilight's Secret Shipfic Folder cards, one had pony tattoos, the other two seemed happy to be here.
Well, this time last week I was headed to Day 2 of BronyCon. I have to say, those three days were some of the fastest of my life. I went to Baltimare Baltimore unsure of what to expect. In case I didn't enjoy BronyCon, I had backup plans: the USS Constellation, Hampton NHS, the US Naval Academy. But in the end, I was at BronyCon from the 10:25 Opening Ceremonies Friday morning to the 4:30 Closing Ceremonies Sunday afternoon. I had a blast!!!
Things that I did:
