BronyCon Turned Upside Down, Starts Raining Chocolate

Art by John Joseco cause hes awesome and draws things in like 20 minutes holy Celestia

If the banner and the headline didn't tip you off already, BronyCon has been invaded by everyone's favorite lord of CHAOS.  John De Lancie, the voice actor behind Discord, has been confirmed for attendance!   Can they handle the CRAZY?  With their new massive venue, I bet they can!

After the break is the full writeup for those thinking about joining!



Hello, My Little Ponies!

First of all, the BronyCon staff would like to thank you all for pre-registering in advance. Not even a month since January's BroNYCon, we have already received over 560 pre-registered attendees. As we have reached this number in less than three short weeks (a number that almost reaches our January RSVP cap), we have come to the realization that come June we may have a much larger number than originally projected. Matter of fact, we are now easily expecting a few thousand attendees! This is great news! We are absolutely shocked and enthusiastic about the community's support. Every single one of you is contributing towards the love and camaraderie behind Friendship Is Magic. You are bringing the magic of ponies to reality.

To add to the great news, the number of ponies showing interest in attending professionally either as dealers or exhibitors has once again already surpassed our expectations. Thank you all!
This has raised one concern, however – The fact that our previously announced venue will no longer suit our needs. While the great folks at the Penn Plaza Pavilion have been nothing but great to us in our pursuit of the perfect venue, we have decided on a new location for the sake of the convention's success.

It is with great pride that we can now announce that BronyCon Summer will be held at the Meadowlands Exposition Center, in Secaucus New Jersey! (If you're wondering why we've recapitalized our name to 'BronyCon' instead of 'BroNYCon', this is why!) Accordingly, we are raising our attendee cap from 1500 to a mindblowing 4000!

The Meadowlands Exposition Center has previously been host to such events as AnimeNEXT, Major League Gaming, and the North East Pokemon Video Game Championships.

For those of you not familiar with the Meadowlands Exposition Center, please do not panic! Transportation from Manhattan to our new venue is just as accessible as any other major venue within NYC. The venue can be reached both via the Port Authority Bus Terminal (a simple, quick 20-minute bus ride), or even via the PATH train and a quick shuttle. Rest assured, you will not need to make special driving arrangements to reach the venue due to its easy access from New York City. The bus from Port Authority drops you off directly in front of the Expo Center; it couldn't be easier.

To top it all off, within easy walking distance from the Exposition Center are dozens of eateries (including Chipotle, Chili's, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Nikko Sushi, Dunkin' Donuts, and Starbucks), several hotels to stay at (Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn, Marriott), and even convenient shopping locations such as Wal-mart and Gamestop! Better yet, check it out for yourself!  (Regarding hotels: We are still working on our hotel arrangements for this con, so keep an eye on your email for announcements to that end. Those of you early birds who have already obtained reservations for midtown Manehattan hotels are still just a 20-minute bus ride from the con venue.)
Let us not forget, ponies: Our very special guest.

As you all know, Lauren Faust will be in attendance. However, she is not alone.
We are enthralled to confirm that the one and only John de Lancie will be in attendance as our second guest of honor! That is right, Discord (and of course Q) himself will be available for autographs, Q&A panels, chaos, and what we can only assume will be the best weekend ever. Nopony can even begin to imagine what may happen! Mr. de Lancie seems just as excited as we are, so we hope everypony does their best to give him a warm and open welcome into the community!

Fillies and Gentlecolts, may I remind you that it is only January! These are only a fraction of the announcements and surprises that you can expect from the upcoming BroNYCon this summer. In fact, even as we speak, we are planning a slew of other incredible Guest of Honour and Special Appearance announcements, so stay tuned!
June 30th cannot come fast enough!

For those of you who can't make it to the East Coast, fear not! Remember that Everfree Northwest is coming up from August 17-19 in beautiful Seattle, WA!

With friendship, magic, and much anticipation,

The BronyCon staff

HOLY CRAP!

I literally SCREAMED when I saw this!

YES! CHAOS FOREVER!

*ahem* Sorry.

CityFlyer502 said...

Whoaaaaa!!!! This is gonna be the BroNYCon to end all BroNYCon's! I just hope my check clears fast enough for me to get my ticket this weekend. This is one event I am not missing. Everything else just got final priority!

PartyPony said...

Hell yeah, I totally need to go next time!

ZAquanimus said...

Huzzah! Now I can spill the beans!

totaluniverse said...

I NEED to go! As a matter of fact, I will.

ReDash said...

T_____________________T

Why must I live hundreds of miles away from this.

Dawnmist said...

I HAVE TO GO TO THIS.

Flutterfan said...

Lauren Faust AND John De Lancie? My knees are weakening.

Tenkoman said...

I must convince some company or person to pay my flight to the States NOW.

kilemeino said...

lets go dressed in star trek uniforms
next generation-voyger

Cesar said...

WHAT.

Ok, now to earn the money for plane tickets. I MUST GO!

Travis Smith said...

Still many many miles away......

Kether said...

And this is the day that Bronies and Trekkies are destined to meet in the same place.

Because I can totally imagine trekkies going there just for de Lancie alone :D

The_A_Drain said...

John De Lancie = Want. His voice. So awesome.

Too bad I'm in the UK and completely unable to attend T_T

ClosetBrony said...

What?!?! Seriously?!?! Wow!

CityFlyer502 said...

I'll put this up on Meetup as well as my profile. If anyone within a reasonable distance from Astoria, NY needs a ride, I can take six people. Just let me know well in advance.

Hibiscus said...

Please include HotDiggetyDemon as well! XD XD

Kurraga said...

I'm so exited and I'm not even going. The last one was awesome even on livestream!

Cesar said...

I get the feeling that it may have to last a whole week just to fit all the pure awesome in. Take that, Dragoncon!

Xeddrief said...

That soul-crushing moment when you live in the UK.

CogWeaver said...

So De Lancie isn't a Brony, and yet he's attending BroNYcon.

WHAT.

ssj4raditz said...

God DAMMIT! I need to figure out if I can go! Must see awesome people in person! URGH!!

Flutteryay said...

The question is, can Mr. De Lancie handle all the Bronies?

Maquabra said...

Oh god... Stop it... I want to go so badly... I love this guy from S-T...

Alexstrazsa said...

I'm a little frightened.

ScootaChicken said...

THIS IS THE BEST FANDOM EVAR!! I sooo wish i could come!!

Depo007 said...

Jeez, this convention just keeps getting bigger and better.

javelinstark said...

daaamn i need to save money for motorhead tickets

Dr_FillyBlunt said...

Wow thats pretty fucking mind blowing... I've been trying to plan for weeks how I'm going to do this on my budget (from kentucky mind you) and now this happens... I was really hoping this was going to happen in new york but I guess not. I'm not sure I want to even go anymore?

Artsie Bee said...

WHY must a trip from Oklahoma to NY be so ridiculously out of my budget?!

Lorenzo said...

I am brazilian and I can't go to BroNYCon.

Fellbadman.jpg

Al_Skylark said...

John....DE.... LANCIE.....
OK. This is. THIS IS.
THE
BEST
POSSIBLE
THING!

Tree said...

If I have to walk there from Chicago, Celestia damn it I will!

javelinstark said...

... and i live in new mexico...

MattTheCat said...

WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN TEXAS???? *cries*

PartyPony said...

God, this is one of the reasons why I sometimes hate living in europe -.- I hope I get some freetime this time and can convince some friends to join me.

zorinlynx said...

@Dr_FillyBlunt

NYC is only a short bus ride from the venue. If you wanted to do the con and tour the city you still can!

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Alright you guys, make sure you make a really great impression to John De Lancie at Bronycon, if we do, we will surely get more Discord Episodes in the near future.

Bombedrumbum said...

We know that sleep is out of the question with this guy!!



Hmm......get Ghost from True Capitalist Radio to come and then my jaw will be permanently dilocated. For now, however, it is only temporarily dislocated.

j1992g said...

That does it!
As soon as I get my check next month, I'm pre registering!! Bronycon here I come!

T-God said...

WHY DO I LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA?!

MiColt said...

It's in New Jersey? Oh my...

No wait, it might be on a day I have to work, let's see... JUNE 30 IS ON A SATURDAY?!

The signs are clear, I can attend, and no doubt will be!

Bombedrumbum said...

It is at times like these that I wish that I wasn't a closet brony.....


Sigh......i can't make it........

Dr_FillyBlunt said...

@zorinlynx well I've never really traveled anywhere and I have been nervous about this whole thing. I've never been to NY before so I was wanting it to be in NY so I could easily hop between bronycon and exploring. But yeah it may be a short bus ride but like I said my budget is going to be like $500-$600 that includes my transportation to and from newyork/jersey a hotel and bronycon tickets. How much do bus/train tickets usually run?

80PercentBrony said...

Um... Hold up a moment.
John de Lancie seemed pretty dang clear on his Twitter after the season 2 openers aired that his work on FiM was just another job to him.

So now I'm wondering, if he's so dispassionate, what can he actually bring to the con? He seems like he might be a "quiet member of the panel," but I hope I'm wrong.

I wonder if he actually has gained some kind of interest in this since then... Or if he was offered enough money to justify him being there.

Not being cynical... Just thinking. He seemed pretty dispassionate on his Twitter after all.

Well, looking forward to the con all the same!

rowcla said...

FUUU! WHY I HAVE TO LIVE IN AUSTRALIA! PONYCON ISNT GOING TO HAVE ANY OF THIS!

And its up in sydney...

ThunderIce said...

Wait, WHAT?
WHY CAN I NOT GO TO BRONYCON?

CityFlyer502 said...

@Kether I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Just hope no fandom wars break out.

countpony said...

And is there any possibility broycon could be where I live
No because I live in the fabled 48th state, the one that people always forget when asked to name them all
Good old New Mexico

j1992g said...

That does it!
As soon as I get my check next month, I'm pre registering!! Bronycon here I come!

Octavia said...

Wow, I'm rather surprised John de Lancie was secured as a Guest of Honor. Lauren wasn't a huge surprise to me. She's real nice and if she has time, I'm sure she's willing to make appearances to events like BronyCon. But John de Lancie, that's rather impressive. He's nice too, so same deal I'm sure. His attendance will probably make the already huge number expected soar even higher. :)

Not as enthused about it being in New Jersey. lol But it's for the best of the convention. You need a place to house all those many ponies!

Present Perfect said...

...AHH IT'S SO MAGICAL @_@

MyBoyJ said...

@CityFlyer502

It seems highly unlikely that a fandom war could break out. Bronies are too easy going for that.

WizardWannabe said...

I WANT TO GO TO THERE.
Curse my lack of money! And geography!

Depo007 said...

@80PercentBrony really? I had heard that he enjoyed doing it and wanted to do more. Granted, that was all secondhand from a fellow brony of mine, but still.

Kumquat said...

@Xeddrief

I feel your pain. Forever a UK brony...it was bad enough when I saw Lauren Faust herself was in attendance. Considering I possibly want to go into animation AND love ponies, I was about ready to rip my hair out in frustration. Now John De Lancie attending = RIP OUT ALL THE HAIR.

Raryn said...

Now there is no reason for me not to go.

Papyra Scribe said...

I must find a way to go! Even if I have to (bad pun incoming) Hoof It there.... (really bad pun....)

Stormcaller said...

@kilemeino

Actually, everyone should go dressed up as ponies wearing Star Fleet uniforms!

Huzzah! The geekiness has been doubled!!

I would soo do that if I had a chance to go lol.

Lightning Delight said...

I want to go to this so bad it hurts.

Damn you, Ohio!! Why do I live here?!

ponyvilleftw said...

Damn wish i dint live on the other side of the planet now :(.. ahh well

Dancingmad said...

I HATE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noy really guys,This is simply amazing! xD

Tangelo said...

Fuck you New Jersey and your almost diametric opposition to Melbourne. The shortest way there distance-wise for me is to tunnel through the Earth's core. And I'm considering doing just that, I'll have you know.

kwj said...

De lancie is going?
this is simply the best possible thing
but I live in another country and don't have the money to get there
damn me

CityFlyer502 said...

@MyBoyJ I knew that. I myself am ridiculously passive. Except when you put me in a car. That tends to have the effect of telling Fluttershy that Discord is gonna win.

80PercentBrony said...

@Depo007
Well, he said he did have a good time, but they always say that. ;) I suppose he could talk about the method he used to get that voice across, or if there were any funny moments in the studio (which I doubt, since, if I recall correctly, he had his lines recorded in LA, away from the rest of the cast (even Tara)). But yeah, go dig through his old tweets and you'll see what I mean.

Truehearted said...

*cries like pikie pie*

i cant afford to go to either of these cons...no fairsies!

rainbows said...

Time to go sob in bed...

CityFlyer502 said...

*the same effect as telling... Heheh. Trying to balance finishing my Day 4 submission and this announcement. I'm already allocating money for a hotel room; if this is still two days, I'd rather lay over in New Jersey instead of bounce between locations. Way too exhausting.

Nando said...

Hmm, new location only means less sleep and a few more bucks for me - unless I'm willing to get a hotel room. Tempting~ but I bet I'll be spending enough as it is on the merchandise, haha!

Man, missing out on BroNYCon January was worth it then. More money to spend on this one!

Casual Wisdom said...

Beautiful Secaucus, NJ! Where if the air doesn't kill you, then the water will!

Stahi said...

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?! HOOOOLY SHIT.

John said...

@countpony

Good to see a fellow New Mexican brony! *hoofbump*

Okay, I really, really, REALLY have to save some money for this summer.

Hawkeye92 said...

If I lived in America, I would totally go to that. Not only is it pony and bound to be awesome, but DeLancie is one of my favourite actors.

Hat said...

Someone should actually bring a pony and see what people do

MyBoyJ said...

@CityFlyer502

I know what you mean. My submission for today took about twice as long as yesterday's.

I haven't gone to a Bronycon and I immediately regretted not going to the one from a couple weeks ago. I definitely want to go to this one. I really have no reason not to go, since I would only be coming from Nassau county.

applbl00m said...

4000 bronies in one place plus Lauren and De Lancie!? *faints*

Fleetwood_Brougham said...

The USS Enterprise is in his tail! My nerdy friend Drew will be happy to hear that! In fact, I'll drive up to Washington State just to tell him that!

*Walks outside*
*Puts key in ignition of 1976 Cadillac Eldorado*
*Car turns into giant squirrel*

OH MY GOD.......
DISCORRRRRRD!!!!!!!

ScootalooIsBestPony said...

@Bombedrumbum
Ghost showing up would be one of the greatest things of all time... He's the reason I'm a brony in the first place!

109 said...

We seriously need a midwest con to pop up soon. Nt being able to make it to the coasts is killing me!

Sawdust1912 said...

@MattTheCat We share a common misfortune, my friend :(

TheBanteringBrony said...

>MFW it's only 1 hour 25 mins away form my house, but I'm still not going.

Kateasaurus said...

Excited for the new venue! Glad I paid in advance already!

But I guess I'll have to break my rule about going into Jersey for a couple of days.

Scribejay said...

I don't think the chocolate rain in Jersey is a product of Discord, or that it's chocolate.

mattwhite924 said...

Why do I have to be stuck in Kansas City? All the good cons are on the coasts.

This is sounding pretty awesome though, I might just have to try to make it work.

Mojo said...

eh I really REALLY doubt we will get 4000.

scienceandponies said...

I need to go weep in the corner over how broke and Californian I am.

Juancho.- said...

Argentina... Y U NO CLOSER TU U.S!?


GOD I live so far away :( i hope that some day i can go to a Bronycon

mycutiemarkisagun said...

if somebody draws a killer pic of Q and Discord doing shots or something, i will do Bronycon just to have him sign it

doozier said...

@Bombedrumbum

Don't let that stop you, dude. I'm not going to Bronycon, but I am going to a nameless indie film festival held in the same place on the same date at the same time, by sheer coincidence. Ya mean?

@mattwhite924

No shit? I'm from KC, too. If I can make it out there, I'm sure you can.

Dͪ͊ͦḮ̘ͯS̔̐̓C̹̔Ò͓͙̫R̀͠͞D͙̫ said...

@Bombedrumbum

nor can I... its probably for the best you cant have 2 discords in the same place...

Wollffeey said...

Sooo happier that it's in Jersey. Manhattan is expensive!

ChaosDX1 said...

Gah! It keeps getting better, and I STILL can't go!

1,000+ Miles away, and Everfree Northwest is even FARTHER!

Whyyyy must you torment me, Discord!?

GardBreaker said...

I'm thinking of going, but it would take me approx. 8 hours to get there...worth it. WE SHALL SEE!

Jordan said...

4,000 people? Even more media outlets will want to report on us!

Mike said...

NOWAI!!!

I'm glad I've already pre-registered, because the demand's going to go through the roof!

Dr. Robotnik said...

You know who else is upside down and raining chocolate?

MY MOM!

SilentRunning said...

Well I have absolutely no excuse now to not go. Awesome.

Nero said...

awwww why the hay I can't live closer!!!!
I live in south america (I'm Chilean), and its kind of cool and all, but, the are no much fellow bronys here (in fact, I don't know any other brony yet), so, there aren't any pony related event either.
I guess I'll be missing a lot of fun, at last for a couple of years.
Have fun for me at the Bronycon! n_n

Joshua C. Fizer said...

Darnit, why can't my parents like this too? Then I would be able to go!
No doubt there will be Livestream though, so I think I can live. Think. Q! Discord!
Discord is best Dracanneques.(<--the one word I can never spell right lol)

Jay6 said...

Bahhhhh! I only live nearest to Seattle! I wish I could go to New York... ;_;

Still, I want to know exactly what's going on at the Seattle's Everfree Northwest...

Flutterfan said...

Lauren Faust will break two loaves of bread and fish into 4000 pieces to feed everyone.

Hydra said...

Dammit now I have to go to this one lol.

R10t Pol1ce said...

Hold one in Kansas City, and I might go.

By the way, I was doing some internet detective work on Alexa.com, and the only fansite of an intellectual property that I could find that was more trafficked than EqD was the Elder Scrolls Nexus, and it was pretty close.

This website gets more traffic than any Harry Potter, World of Warcraft, Star Wars, Star Trek, Fallout, or what have you fan website on the internet.

And our Steam group is more popular than Reddit's. And we have the most popular Knowyourmeme page.

Because ponies.

Coolblue said...

Lauren Faust and Discord. If there's anybody else showing up, I seriously hope it's Tabitha or Tara. Along with the others of course XD

Asgrade said...

This is Awesome I live in Secaucus and have been to the Expo center many times, and let me say this that place is huge. I can't wait to just walk across town and be a the con opposed to waking up mad early and get on a bus to new york.

Shho13 said...

YESSS! This makes it SOO much cheaper for me to go!!! Right off Route 17 and hop on the Turnpike! YESSSS!!!!!!

Dirty Jersey is gonna be hostin' Bronycon July 2012! I hope the swamp is ready... (I think the only way it will be is if THE GIANTS bring home the SUPERBOWL WIN this year!)

pony-pufffs said...

bahhh i live in washington. BUUUTTT that means i get to go to EVERFREE. :D i'd need to find pony friends to go. *sob* pega-sister-loner. D:

Six Strings said...

;__;
...reading this only makes me weep because I know I won't be able to make it to BronyCon.... DAMN YOU OKLAHOMA!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!

Six Strings said...

can't even make it to Everfree ;____;....

MaX3o1 said...

INVITE MAX GILRADI!!!!!
JAPPLEACK DRAWER!!!

Gerk said...

I want to go to this so badly I cant even think of a pony reference to describe how badly I want to go!

Eddmario said...

Great, the voice actor for one of my favorite tv villains is gonna be there, and I'm stuck in Wisconsin.

Videogame9 said...

Stop making me jealous that I can't go to this.

brilliantspecter said...

This is me, doing an acrobatic pirouette right off the handle. It's like I want absolutely nothing to do with the handle. It's like the handle just dumped my ass and I'm getting away as fast as possible.

Oh my god.
Someone.
Anyone.
EVERYONE.
PLEASE
If you're reading this, and considering going, and need someone to share costs and room with, send me a message at andrewbenholt@gmail.com.

I feel like that's the only possibility I have of making this, is if I plan it with someone else.

Oh my god, do I ever want to go.

ZeroHero said...

God....Dammit.....why?

Why must BOTH of those great induviduals attend the convention i CAN'T go to!?!

I just hope EverFree NW can step up, cause BroNYCon has set a pretty high bar with this announcement.

Shiranai said...

If only I could go...

TaylorRose said...

Oh my goodness, I wish I could go so BADLY!!! Oh, you have no idea how loudly I shrieked when I saw this post, oh my gooooosh.

I can't wait for the videos to go up afterwards! Ugh, come on June, get here already!

Mattatatta said...

Alright, I'm gonna see if I can make this one. Gotta get out of AR any way.

Malta said...

I used to live around...and still have relatives within a 30 minute drive of Bronycon...thats it I'm going!

12rooster said...

Gosh darn. I wish I was in college already, I want to go somewhere in Boston and NJ isnt to far from there...

RazorEye said...

HOLY SHIT! MEADOWLANDS?!?! HOW THE- WHAT- I- HOW?!?!

PaladinDrakkenwolf said...

My bad day has just been undone....

RazorEye said...

Congrats on getting BroNYCon all the way to Harmon Meadow btw!

CygnusVismundCygnus said...

I'm so glad that I'm only a 45 minute drive away :D. And that's including the pony traffic .

CygnusVismundCygnus said...

AND it's cheaper than a train/subway ticket to NYC.

SparkCloud said...

Why do I have to live in Kansas and go to school?

Twilight_Sparkle said...

:( why can't Kansas have something as epic as this happen here.

B-Man said...

It would take something amazing for me to be able to attend this. For now, I'm just really jelly.

Alondro said...

@RazorEye Pony power is growing exponentially! Soon our army SHALL MARCH OVER THE LAND, CRUSHING ALL BENEATH OUR HOOVES IN A BLOODY MESS OF BLOOD!! >:D

*Alondro kinda missed the whole 'love & tolerance' memo...*

Alondro said...

@Casual Wisdom Isn't that pretty much anywhere in Jersey? I live in the Pine Barrens. Our water eats through brass pines! :D

Alondro said...

@kilemeino Get dressed up as ponies dressed up as Star Trek officers!

Alondro said...

@80PercentBrony *Cyberponies* JOHN DE LANCIE UNDERWENT AN UPGRADE. NOW HE IS LIKE US.

Scout said...

I now have no excuse.
Manhattan is a bitch to get into even on the calmest days, but the Meadowlands is only 20 miles away from where I live.
Can't fucking wait! I am going to take so many pictures.

Azure said...

Woooaaaaahohohohooo. That's amazing. Priceless, some would say.

Good for you, BronyCon! I won't be attending this time, unfortunately. Oughta come down to Texas one of these days!

Curttehmurt said...

@Flutteryay I'm sure we're no worse than all the Trekkies he's had to deal with over the years

Curttehmurt said...

well now I'm glad I already bought my ticket

Marcoooootje1 said...

Now I feel so soo bad for being unable to attend.

ClosetBrony said...

Wonder if I can convince the family to go. hmm.

SightlessOne said...

Oh HELL YES ! It just gets better and better.

EPHorizon said...

You had me at Chipotle.

No, but seriously, I am currently looking at Southwest Airlines flights right now. This looks way too awesome to miss.

Rulsis said...

I'm in Texas and I'm going to be there! As Celestia is my witness, I will not miss Bronycon again!

mattwhite924 said...

@doozier

I'm seriously debating it. I have the vacation time, and it shouldn't be to hard to save up for it. It is really tempting.

Flavin Bagel said...

I'm looking at that list of Restaurants... C'mon, man! The heart of the Italian food capital of America and you want to eat at Cheesburger in Paradise??? Treat your pony-overloaded taste buds to something while you're out there!

Justin said...

*Curses myself for living in Georgia*

Oh well there's always the streams

CheeseDeluxe said...

Oh, it's FUN living in SoCal. It's totally not a problem living in literally all the way across from New York City, my favorite city.

Nope.

Not a problem.

;~;

(But hey, at least I still get sun. So there's that.)

Flutterboss said...

The move from NY should make hotel costs much cheaper...hopefully. I'm glad I already grab tickets for my friend and I, and we plan on making an announcement to the rest of the ODU anime club next week(I think about half of the 50-100 members of that club are bronies) so I'm hoping to get some of them to sign on as well. This news should definitely help with that though!

Bpendragon said...

I cannot Name which of the following three is the worst:
1. Knowing Lauren Faust and Delancie are to be at BroNYcon and that I cannot make it.
2a. Knowing I probably can't make it to Everfree due to a previous commitment
2b. Living within biking distance of where Everfree is to be held.

I almost can't wait to go to UND, means I'm equally far from everything.

j1992g said...

@RulsisAwesome!! im planning to go, i live in texas also :D

Littlepip said...

I may live 100's of miles away in the UK but Celestiadammit I'm going to go to this Bronycon this time no matter what.

Heartmend said...

This is awesome. I've already RSVP'ed because of Lauren Faust, but this beyond awesome.

I suspect my mind will be blown many more times by guest announcements.

This convention is THE. BEST. POSSIBLE. THING!!!

Wow. This is gonna be huge...

Saethwr said...

Ok....I'm jelly now >.<

outthedoor said...

Seems like a lot of bronys wanna go but can't make afford the trip, myself included.

Someone should make a pony 'hoof it' fund to help other bronys to make the trip.

I'd donate to help some fellow bronys make the trip even if I cant.

Ten said...

This Bronycon sounds so so epic, I want to go so badly :(

Jesse said...

Godamnit, Australia. If tickets to New York didn't cost me $1000 I would so be there.

Time to attempt bargain hunting, I suppose

James Rye said...

Wow, never expected that. I wonder how many will come. Guess it will be around 2000. Any more and it will be a damn wonder.^^

Amuter said...

at first I was thinking, hmm maybe I should go to bronycon since Lauren Faust is going to be there and all... but... JOHN DE LANCE AS WELL!!??? I'MMA SHOW THE FUCK UP!!!

Mike said...

Dude... That bus P.T. recommends taking? Not sure it could handle 4000 people in a day... much less an hour or two... I think I'll rent a car instead. But then if everyone does that, we might just cause gridlock. This is of course assuming that the limit of 4000 people is reached, or perhaps exceeded.

Daisymare said...

Why is there not a PonyCon in LA yet? I can't make it to either of the northern cons. We need southern Cons now. Come on Ponies! Make it happen!

Sincerely,

Me.

FreezingShock said...

HOLY. BUCKING. CRAP.

Seriously?! DeLancie and Faust?! It's almost enough to make me wish I lived in the US.

Maybe I should get my ticket now, instead of waiting.

Map Chart thing of the place gives me the eerie Willamette feeling.

@R10t Pol1ce

Yes, that is indeed true, but don't forget, if it wasn't for Trek, TNG to be more specific, the character Discord would more then likely not exist.

Of course, he might have, but I doubt he'd be the Discord we all know right now.

That being said, shame I can't go, cause as I said somewhere else, being both a Brony and Trekkie, this would've been quite awesome.

Bonnie said...

Will Faust and Discord's voice be there for BOTH days?

Arcticwlf said...

Is there somepony with carpentry skills who could actually build Discord's throne for Mr. de Lancie to sit in while at BronyCon?

Bobby G. said...

Woohoo!! :D This is wondeful news. John de Lancie is a awesome actor and he was wonderful as Q and Discord. Can't wait for this!! :D! Discord is the beast!

willheim said...

OMG, I think I ponied in my pants!

Rycr said...

@Rafasde Same here. I live way the heck down in Texas and can't afford to go flying up north for a weekend...

Corporal Pinkie Pie said...

You know... I considered going to the bronycon meeting. But its relocation in new jersey is ruining the best biryhday i can have. Looks like its either trek from brooklyn to new jersey or bust. But seriously, im fuming now.

Rasly said...

now, all i have to do to get there is to shwim over the atlantic ocean ...

landon's world said...

Well im going to be in Washington DC from the 24-29th of June. Then im going to half to have my mom drive me to New Jersey for BroNYcon. Then after those two days, drive back to were i live. For a total drive time of about 12 hours within a period of less than a week.

im going to be busy everypony :)

I have enough cash for the $$65 ticket BUT I live in FL and can't afford the got damn $166 bus ticket, let alone the $233 plane ticket. I hope it comes back next year-only thing I'm afraid of is hype dying out if S3 isn't as awesome. Sucks being unemployed (let alone at 22 years old and feeling like I'm back to being 15 with not being able to go anywhere).
