Pinkie Pie and Celestia Heading to BroNYCon!

The semi-annual BroNYCon is happening once again in January! As is the norm for the ever-growing pony extravaganza, they have finally released information on the special guests attending the event! check out the copy paste below.
BroNYCon, the ever-expanding convention of pony goodness, has just announced two absolutely incredible Guests of Honour for its upcoming January event! The headliners this time are Andrea Libman (voice of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy) and Nicole Oliver (voice of Princess Celestia and Cheerilee).
Ms. Libman and Ms. Oliver join a star-studded cast of brony community celebs including John Joseco, PixelKitties, and the Bronyville colts, Apple Cider & Chef Sandy. Both of these beloved voice actresses will be available for autographs, and will participate in a Q&A session with the audience. 

The event date is Saturday, January 7, 2012. Registration info is here, and Purple Tinker informs us that the ticket price of $35 is about to go up to $40 on Monday, so get your RSVPs in early. The venue this time is the Hotel Pennsylvania in Manehattan, and a group rate is presently being negotiated for cheap rooms.

My head just exploded. If only I lived on the East Coast.

Flutterfan said...

Andrea Libman!!

Particularly excited because of all the VA's for the mane6 she's has the least info on the web.

I've never even seen what she looks like.

MaximillianVeers said...

Cruise or ponies.

Fuck this is hard...

Laurence Brown said...

Gah! If I had the disposable income, I would go cross country to be there for that.

Those who get to be there for it, you have all my jellies.

Mac3030 said...

Hmmm, this totally makes me rethink where I'll be vacationing this winter.

Reelix said...

Pity I live 7,000 miles away :|

lesserpoet said...

Confound this Ocean! :-(

Krizpy said...

lulz, my birthday is on the 7th xD

Flutterfan said...

I can totally imagine Andrea Libman going in Pinkie's voice "Oatmeal? Are you crazy?!" and bringing the house down.

Na´ash said...

You guys are concerned about living on the other side of your country. What about the others, like me, who live on the other side of the world? :-P

The voice actors attending is really awesome. I wonder how it'll be sitting there and having probably hundreds of eyes staring (also probably screaming and/or cheering) waiting for you to do "those" voices. Must feel great for them to get all this appriciation for the work they've done.

Unknown said...

Well i live in west Canada, so i guess im not going. :/

Masquerade said...

I might actually take that sixteen hour drive...

TimbukTurnip said...

Bah, another occassion when I wish I was randomly in America at the time. I'd enjoy just knowing what Andrea looks like, as I can't find a definite picture of her on google, and she voices my favourite character.

Sad times.

Jv9ufxcy said...

if I know the really crazy/dark fans like I think I do. I bet half of them will ask Andrea to make a Cupcakes quote and record it.

Bobbyzero said...

Wow, this is actually making me thing about extending my holiday leave on the East coast for a couple more days...

Anybody wanna pick up a random filly in Maryland? I wanna go!

Kaijyuu said...

Dammit. If I wasn't dirt poor I'd so be there.

DarcySupremest said...

Damn I have to get a rag
I anticipated all over the screen.

Flutterfan said...

Still can't get over the fact Andrea Libman is attending.

Pinkie Pie AND Fluttershy in one person!!

@Flutterfan

Wow, just envisioning it... the lolz

Stargazer said...

I may have to try and go to this, I want my fluttershy plush autographed =3

Bobbyzero said...

@Flutterfan

She was shown in a season 1 episode of the X-files. Memory is fuzzy, but she was a kid that had a serial killers spirit possess her mind. Foreboding, eh?

Altercation said...

If only I lived on the opposite coast. And in America. And had money to actually travel there. And the time to go there.

Seriously, this is amazing.

Kayriel said...

:| It's not ABOUT Cheerilee and Flutterpie.

CELESTIA IS GOING TO BE THERE. HRRRGH, CONFOUND LIVING IN GEORGIA, MY SUN GODDESS IS MUCH TOO HIGH ON THE MAP. Dx<

Oh wow, John Joseco's going to be there, too? Awkward much? Celestia AND Molestia...

Octavia said...

I dunno. I almost feel kinda bad for them and how many crazed fans are going to try awkwardly hugging them and latching onto them through out the event. lol

Cylestia said...

I live a few minutes away, but I don't know if I'll be going.

Probably not.

Somepony said...

Wow, I'd love to meet them just to say how talented I think they all are. I'm considering... this would be cool!

HA_BISKY said...

AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHHH I want to go so bad! BUT I CAAAAAAAAAN'T. I hope somepony gets really good footage.

sparkle said...

Haha, the Joseco/Oliver combo is potent!

mycutiemarkisagun said...

$40 + travel expense.

Pass.

Sanakan said...

Someone's gotta get footage/audio of Andrea Libman doing some off-the-cuff Pinkie Pie/Fluttershy banter or something.

Somepony said...

@Octavia
Yeah, unfortunately I think you're right on that.

Mike said...

This is starting to look real tempting again.

Pele2048 said...

I've been to the Hotel Pennsylvania a few times. Decent place for the price.

I went for a totally different type of convention though. I assume it'll smell at least a little bit better for Bronycon.

Purple Tinker said...

@Octavia That is why I have a large security staff full of beefy bronies.

Purple Tinker said...

@Cylestia I'm sorry to hear you won't be coming. We'll all have extra fun for you!

Purple Tinker said...

@mycutiemarkisagun I'd run it for free if I could. It costs a lot of money to do these things. Thousands just for the GoHs alone. Thousands more for the venue. Thousands still more for the merch. Thousands more for food and drinks. Putting on a convention is not easy.

Bobbyzero said...

@Purple Tinker

Could you clone yourself and send her to Atlanta? Maybe one to LA too? Just kidding, flying all the way from Hawaii to see fam on the East coast around that time, seriously considering taking a side trip to NYC cause of you, keep it up!

Stephanie said...

Wish I could go to to the con , sounds like lotsa fun, but it seems very unlikely for me, even from Florida. Heck, we can't go to shows that are "business write-offs" right now.

Again, sorry for being such trouble, Tinker.

WizardWannabe said...

That's it. I'm pushing the UK across the ocean and super gluing it onto New York!

Vermillion Twilight said...

Long distances keeping you from poniponiponiALLTHEPONIOMG awesomeness?

Time to start thinking with portals!

Ajin said...

How awkward is it going to be to have John Joseco and Princess Celestia at the same con...?

SorinLion said...

20+ hours away, why couldn't it be closer to Florida? I'm really considering trying to go.

Jaay said...

Someone needs to record this!! I want to see how Andrea Libman looks like :DDD But too bad I can't go, since I live in Canada :( anyways, yeahh xDDD

getoman10 said...

Oh great, another bronycon I'm gonna miss. Meh, my bets it can't get anymore epic than the last one.
*reads that voices actors of Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, and Celestia are coming*
*Steals neighbor's wallet and calls friends to make excuses for disappearance and join the escape.*
January 7th will belong to the ponies, FOWARD MARCH

MudPuppy said...

Anyone wondering what Andrea looks like, haven't you ever seen the behind-the-scenes of MLP video???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc5e_hZzx9k&feature=channel_video_title

Nando said...

Sigh... See, I actually live in NY, and most likely the area will be only an hour away by train or so.

But I have no friends who are bronies. :< Wonder if it's worth going by myself.

Purple Tinker said...

@Nando Nando, we have brony meetups every month! We're also having a Brony Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving day at my place. You should go to www.meetup.com/bronies-nyc/ and join. There are two full monthly meetups before BroNYCon; you could MAKE some brony friends! )

Purple Tinker said...

@Stephanie I fly to and from FL on a semiregular basis. It's a quick and easy 3-hour-ish flight. :)

Thomas said...

there's no way I'll be able to get there.

doozier said...

AWW COME ON
I got to college in NY, but this happens during winter break, the SINGLE two-week period when I'm back home in the midwest. Sure hope the next one's not over spring break.

DarwinBird said...

Chain Algorithm and i think Tarby are going to be there also.

Syntaxcapt said...

Quite the undertaking! May just have to make the trek. Hope it goes well.

Shingo said...

Why, why does this have to happen during the winter semester of school? DAMN YOU LAURIER! DAMN YOU FOR HAVING SCHOOL HAPPEN DURING SOMETHING FUN! Ah well, I hope everypony going enjoys them self.

DcmRulz said...

I go to school in Florida too, but live in NY, and this should be in my break. I wonder if I should go.

yetti said...

I'm calling Coyote to borrow ACME catalog, maybe they have some teleport.

NYCLOAMR said...

*uses the trad. Canterlot voice* THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED :D

Duskfly said...

I live on the other side of the country. I still got time for planning but I'm doubting if I'll ever go.

Pyrobug said...

Must find my way to New York...some how...

shadowfalcon76 said...

If ever there was a BroNYcon I would want to go to, it'd be the one with Pinkie Pie's VA at it.

Too bad Texas is quite a ways away from NY.

Supreme Commander of Brony Mountain said...

(Sees Fluttershys voice actress is attending) -yay-
(remembers Im broke and live in Texas)

Nämahs said...

Hot dam, very impressive GoH, hats off to you Purple Tinker.

You made me realistically consider a 16 hour drive (32h round trip!). But then I realized the date is during winter break and I'll be abroad.

I have never before cursed the fact that I was going on vacation.

Eddmario said...

@Purple Tinker
Have you considered holding a BronyCon in Madison, WI?

Lemonite said...

I know I'm not the first to say this, but LOL MOLESTIA!

MKC3950675 said...

.....so far away.....so much monies.....ack.

Should I stay home and spend my money on pony things and internet, or should I shell out some money and go?

#firstworldponyrelatedproblems

NYCLOAMR said...

YAY about all the VAs and artists, fer sure, but I'm stoked to meet Apple Cider & Chef Sandy just as much. Their podcast is my favorite background noise when I'm doing art and customizing. Sometimes when AC does one of his silly voices / impressions, or goes on a rant about something I just have to stop what I'm doing and giggle helplessly until I regain control. That's entertainment!

Heartmend said...

@Eddmario

Considering that it's more like BroNYCon (New York), probably not! But I'm another Wisconsin brony!

If not for the fact that I work weekends, I'd be throwing a lot more events in Milwaukee. :)

pixelkitties said...

I am SO seriously geeking out of this event! Just getting to meet so many friends from the various pony haunts online is going to be awesome!

January can't arrive soon enough!

Jordan said...

As others have said, a modern Andrea Libman can be seen at 1:16 in the above linked video, but you can also see a picture of a younger Andrea at this page, where you can see and hear some other voice roles she's done in the past.

Master EG said...

NO FAIR!!! I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO AND IT ALSO HAS THE BEST CONVENTIONS (example: COMIC-CON). Why not have one in SD?!?!? DX

731 said...

What a pity that I can't get there.

I can't wait getting to the US as an exchange student. Then I could have a driving licence and travel cross the country... and visit these awesome events to meet you and those awesome people behind this incredible show.

Greetings from Finland.

efewf said...

*Sigh*
Oh how i'd lovve to come.

Stahi said...

Cheap rooms?

The standard King room rate is only $89, which is frickin' UNHEARD OF IN THE MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN.

I can't even find work in my hometown. What the fuck is the world coming to. People like bullshit like ponies make me believe I am the only real person alive. I hope some day god judges you bronies.

@Fridgesrants *Cough *Cough

It would be so awesome to go.
