Additional Information:
The Summer Sun Celebration is a convention for the fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This is a convention for Bronies, by Bronies. We are planning for this to be held in the Lansing Center at Lansing, Michigan. We hope to have some special guests such as Daniel Ingram and Lauren Faust, and we have confirmed guests attending such as the Mane6 (makers of the highly-anticipated fan-made game Fighting is Magic) but that is merely pillow talk, as we have to talk with them over that. Other than that, the convention is basically for all of you.
Alas, the convention can not be funded from our own pockets, as the expenses are a little daunting. All of this will cover the convention center renting pricing, along with menial expenses such as food, electricity, Internet access for convention attendees, booth setup, and many other things.
Without the donations, this convention can NOT happen. We need your help, and any donation will bring us closer to our goal. The pony fandom has taken the world by storm; some celebrities are confirmed bronies. There’s products, along with other merchandise that can openly display your pride in this fandom. Why not make it official and take Michigan’s capitol by holding the first-ever brony convention (not just a meetup, like the ones in New York) there! Soon, we shall dominate the world!
No, but really, this is just a convention. We need your help. Any help you can give us, would be absolutely awesome. Pinkie Pie herself would be impressed if this actually pulls through. We have hope! If it does go through, pre-registration will be up for the convention soon. You can discuss more about it here @http://forum.canterlot.net/
Following us on Twitter as well for updates regarding the convention is a good idea as well @CanterlotDOTnet
We hope you donate and attend The Summer Sun Celebration, so here’s a message from Pinkie Pie:

Please note, all extra money we gain will be donated to charity organizations such as the Red Cross, Children's and Family Services, et cetera. So now, a message from Pinkie Pie:
“It won't be the same without you so we hope you'll say yes! So please, oh please, RSVP and come and be our guest!”

Aw too bad I don't live in MI.
Gah, this never happens in Tampa. :<
Hmm... wish I lived in the area...
If only I wasn't half a country away...
I live in Texas, but fuck it. I'll go.
Sounds like fun.
I live in Alaska. Ill be 18 by the time it comes by. I will save up the money and go! I hope I will get to go.
Darn. I've got Anime North at the end of May in Toronto. We do have a Pony panel there, but ... meh. We need a Canadian answer to this. :D
Hey, it's this thing.
Wow that is quite the endeavor. This has a long time to gain a following and with Season 2 there's bound to be an influx of new bronies, I'm sure this will pick up steam. I'll try to help if I can as seeing this come to fruition would be pretty fantastic - a legit, massive, full-on brony convention.
Maybe I'll even get to go!
it should be in Omaha. that way everyone is the same distance. also, I live in Omaha.
That would be a long drive from San Diego... but if Lauren Faust shows up, then so will I!
@RoseWe have a meetup that is likely to happen in Tampa on September.
there's never anything out in the Midwest...
*sob*
Oh joy, we'll get to bombard Lauren in person with ridiculously anal questions!
"In Episode BF12, you were battling barbarians while riding a winged Appaloosa, yet in the very next scene, my dear, you're clearly atop a winged Arabian! Please do explain it!"
too far away, have it in California!! Why are all the brony conventions in michigan and missouri and places like that?!
I live in forida.
Let's do this.
Heh. Will point out this has been mentioned in a Nightly Roundup already, but it needs the attention.
Aw sweet, now I just gotta save up money.... for a flight From Hawaii..
Aww man I would love to go. Too bad I'm in Los Angeles. Why aren't there more brony events in LA!
30 MIL WHOO!
@TopoCruz: Seriously? :o
My browser derped and could't screencap the 30M >.>
AND 30 MILLION HOORAY. ALL CAPS ARE JUSTIFIED HERE.
I'm perplexed. If you want people from the show to come to the convention, it makes the most sense to have it in Vancouver, doesn't it?
I live in northern Indiana, so this may actually be of some reasonable distance from my house. 0:
yay 30M
All right 30 million view great job everypony!
30mil Bitches!
@RoseNot Tampa, but near it, I believe:
"Just an update to those still interested, the picnic will be held at the Hillsborough River State Park in the Sabal Pavillion on September 3rd. Here's the address:
15402 U.S. 301 North
Thonotosassa, Florida 33592"
30 milli
BALLIN
Texas.
Not going to be 18 yet.
Just out of high school at that point.
LETS DO THIS SHIT.
YES! I knew living in Michigan would someday serve a purpose!
Agghh! SoCal needs more Brony events!
I live in Chicago I am so going.
5 hour drive? Screw it, i'm going. PONIES!!
Dam I live half of the USA to there and by the time I be there I have to be 18 to travel there. Where is the doctor whooves when I need him!
Guys, we live in an age where we can fly damn near anywhere in the country for a quarter of a months rent. I'm sure as hell going, and I live in Texas.
It's gonna be a few years before I get to travel where I want. The problem is, bronytism might not be as strong by then. :/
Ahhh.. Live in a tiny town in Georgia, where nobody has ever heard of friendship. ;____;
My mother judges me for liking ponies. Nobody will go with me. Alas, I fear that this shall be but another year of closet bronydom.
@Athens
What this guy said. I'm definitely planning on going!
Finally! A good convention coming to where I live.
YAY!
GAH. Only 13, and I'm in MN.
I am flying from Australia to go to this. You people that are only a state away should really reconsider.
A road trip from cali is demanded over this! Hell if your from sol cal north county we should form a bronie caravan~
Welp. Looks like I have a convention I definitely want to make it to next year! :D
Ponyfeathers! Going to this would be SO AWESOME~!
for the love of luna, why can't my genetic research make a breakthrough already? im hoping that i can eventually grow a pair of wings for myself. when i do, i'm gonna dye them blue and fly there myself. better get to work on that rainbow bandanna too...
I smell a road trip coming on. Anyone near Oregon? We can make a BRONY CONVOY.
@adestroyer360
I agree with idea, we can flood the streets of the us, everywhere, on the way to the con.
Do start one up in fl bronies :)
Living in New Zealand in fun!
Mark my words, the brony standup comedian will be there. He will perform and there will be much rejoicing.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.
Anyway, nothing I like ever comes to Hawaii.
Oh yeah! I'm only an hour and a half away from Lansing! I am SO going to this!
Darn, I'm from Arkansas. That's a long ways away.
But still, I just may have to make the effort.
@Everyone complaining it's not in X timezone / coast...
Originally I had the idea for the convention to be in Florida but Tampa, Miami, and Orlando convention centers were far more expensive. Furthermore, it wouldn't be fair to anyone on the west coast to have to go so far. It was either Michigan or Florida. Michigan is closer to the central US, which means SOMEWHAT easier for people from all states to visit, including people from Canada.
Hope this helps :3
I live in Queensland, Australia.
IT.
IS.
ON.
Hell YEAH! I knew moving back to Michigan was a good idea! This is just one more notch but by Celestia's beard this is one hell of notch on top of going to a Wings game for the first time in years!
heck i live one state down and i will roadtrip it up there especially if i can pick up bronies on the way
I wish I had money to help donate...maybe soon. I just really want to see this happen. ;U;
if it does, I am totally willing to drive from ny and go!
Hello, all of you. I'm the man behind all of this.
If you have any questions relating to The Summer Sun Celebration, please ask them here, or in this forum on Canterlot:
http://forum.canterlot.net/forum-77.html
I live in Michigan, but I don't they would want a 14 year old girl there...
;-;
Don't care, don't care how, don't care when, I WILL make it to this convention!
I'm actually really thinking of buying a plane ticket from France to Michigan, this sis waaay to tempting ! >_<
I'm worried about people not donating though - this can't happen without the proper funds to rent out the place, and get everything set up.
It's ultimately up to all of you.
I only live like 2 hours from Lansing so I'll try to go. (depends on a couple of factors)
No money to donate though, otherwise I would.
Out of the way Atlantic Ocean! Iggy's coming!
Did they just insinuate that Bronycon in New York isn't a convention? Thats kind of dumb. I mean The director Jayson Thiessen himself is gonna be at the one in september.
I need to know if I'm going to be in boot camp by the time this rolls around. I'll wait until it is about a month away before donation $100
>MFW NY BroNYCon isn't a convention.
>Me = Chief of security for said convention.
MY LIFE IS A LIE O.O
Seriously though, even though it's probably an honest derp-up, somepony might wanna get that line changed...
@Nanashi "No Names" Tanaka
It is agreed, I couldve sworn I was security for a Brony Convention.
I was paying for a convention x.x
Though... if it's not a convention, heck we're pretty cool dudes if we got the director and seth coming to us.
On my next paycheck I'm going to donate, I want to see this happen!
I will so be there if this happens and by luna it will if i have anything to say about it! I knew living in michigan would be worth something if only I could convert my friends to the herd...its lonely being the only brony I know. =/
It's too bad that I can't go, seeing as I live too far away, but I will donate so others can enjoy it!
I'm sad that this is on my 17th birthday (and the day after) because I probably won't be able to go. (I live in New Mexico after all.) It is 8 months away, so maybe when I get a job soon, I can save enough money to convince my mom to let me go. I'm gonna go see how much a flight to there is now so I have an Idea of how much cash I'll need...
Don't know how the name on that last comment fucked up so bad, but the name that was supposed to be there is shrimpchris (my NG account and others are by that name) Still using this screwed up thing so you guys know it's the same person though. I commented with that name before... I kinda forgot how to though. I'll figure it out.
Fuck yeah, Michigan! I'm happy to be living here for once. Will be there if this goes through.
Just so no one gets their hopes up, this is not going to happen.... http://www.canterlot.net/news-and-announcements/on-the-summer-sun-celebration-and-midwestria/
