I've been back at home for about three hours now. :) Just finished writing this up, so I'm posting it. Note that I wrote up each day after it had happened, then went back and maybe added some stuff in I forgot, so the timelines might be weird. Okay? Okay, let's go.
I got back home from Trotcon about 5 hours ago, and I'm finally all settled in and catching up on all the music that came my way over the weekend. :) It was a good time. Let's tell a story. (It's gon b loooong)
I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow, I get to return home.
It was nice meeting everyone. Folks here were really friendly, and I got to see a lot of very smart people say some very smart things. I got to talk with people, not just about ponies, but about all sorts of things. We were all among friends, and it was an enjoyable experience, apart from the odd bit of awkwardness.
I joined the Evil League of Evil in its invasion of a local food court.
What’s this? A Whinny City Con Report??? A month after the con???????? It’s quite an adventure, so let’s hop right in!
Pre-Con
This year, I was an average attendee! Kind of! I was an Equestria-level sponsor, a CG, and a panelist, but that’s about as close to “average” as I get these days.
Ponyville Ciderfest 2023: An Interactive Storytelling Adventure was two conventions in one. I ran one of them, and if you’d like a long-winded perspective on it, you’ve come to the right place!
Spring-Winter 2022
When the glory tries to tempt you, it may seem like what you need
MLP-MSP is Best Convention! I attended again this year at the Hyatt downtown from June 9-13, and holy cow did I have a good time. Here are some quick stats:
--5 days of pony
--3 cosplays
--3 panels
--Triple Diamond Sponsor
--Huge number of friends
--Even bigger number of memories
Check out the full report below, and I hope you'll join me next year!
This is going to get long, so here are the highlights:
--Flying First Class!
--Meeting tons of new people (including those I'd only met online) and hanging out with great friends
--Playing Hoof Work online, in costume, and in voice
--Getting in touch with other fanfiction authors both around the con and at panels
Gasp, smile, scream with joy, repeat.
Well... what an eventful week I have had. Firstly I would like to apologise to all the people who found this on FIMFiction, the amazing people who have been waiting for me to publish stuff where... I just haven't been able to do anything. Once again, university on top of being a part of Alicon has just made my life incredibly busy and it's going to be like that for a while. Please bear with me and come November, I will be dropping chapters like they're hot!
Back at Ciderfest 2018, Charlie Worthley pulled me aside late one night and showed me a video. I screamed, and a couple tables' worth of people stared at me like I was crazy.
And wonderfully crazy I was, because when Charlie asked me to be Vice Chair for MLP-MSP F, I immediately said yes.
Goodness gracious, a few days can feel tremendously long when filled with new things.
I am presently sitting in the lobby of my hotel enjoying the free WiFi. I have a (thankfully direct) flight back to Oregon leaving at noon tomorrow, so I’ll need to figure out when I need to go out to catch the train to get to the airport to get on the plane to fly back to Oregon.
I always bring a special shirt with me to conventions: the purple shirt with the black cuffs, the shoulder tabs, and the roll-up sleeves. Some might call it a cosplay – it is the shirt that my OC wears, after all – but to me, it's something even more special. It's a way for me to slip into someone that I choose to be, someone who's been a big part of who I am for over a decade, someone who is confident and competent and just wants to spend a weekend making people happy, and somepony who,
As almost all the community panels I attended were from people on FIMFiction, I trust they will post some of their notes or thoughts on those panels. If not, then I’ll have to steal all their ideas and seem super smart.
And I have some thoughts myself that I’m going to write up as proper articles about some stuff regardless.
I hung out with a bunch of people since I got into Seattle on Thursday. A partial, horribly incomplete list would include:
Xepher (rooming with him, cool dude as always, fair bit of presence IRL. Good at running panels, very efficient and good at sparking/spurring conversation)
Winston (Cool dude as always; a bit quiet, but nice to hang out with and chat with. He’s on the staff, so secretly rules over us all, like Xepher)
Mudpony (I’ll read that story, I swear!)
An incomplete list of people I met:
Bad Horse (he gave me a hat. And many people hats. The Evil League of Evil got a few glances, but while the initial reaction was muted, we made quite the collective impression)
Bradel
Admiral Biscuit
Pav Fiera
Not_a_hat (properly this time)
Cerulean Voice
Corejo
MaskedFerret (she said I’m not as scary as she thought)
Trick Question
Pascoite
