• PETER NEW to Appear on TOGM Livestream, Charity Auction!


    The Old Grey Mare is livestreaming a special charity event tonight starring Peter New! A lot of cool things are up for grabs tonight at 6pm PST/9pm EST so check on after the break for the full details on what you can win for helping charity.


    Saturday evening at 6PM Pacific / 9PM Eastern, join the hosts of The Old Grey Mare (guest host SonyaLynn, founder of BABSCon, joining recurring host Purple Tinker, founder of BronyCon) as they welcome Big Mac VA (and veteran convention guest) PETER NEW to what's sure to be an interesting and enlightening panel on the business of pony conventions! In addition to Peter and the con-founding co-hosts, panelists will include Bob Carr, chair ofNightmare Nights DallasCayci Robold, chair of Equestria LA 2015; Tetsuo, DJ/producer and Bronypalooza lead for BronyConGarnika, musician & liason for Equestria LA 2015; Odyssey Eurobeat, musician and virtual guest of honor for the very first brony convention (BroNYCon June 2011). 

    Along the way, bid on a charity auction for a fantastic bundle of autographed Big McIntosh goodies, all proceeds from which will be donated to the David Suzuki Foundation, an environmental charity of Peter's choice.


    Ever wonder why conventions are always so eager to sell early-bird tickets? How about why community guests of honor often don't (actually, usually can't!) get paid? Want a peek at how the sausage is made? Join us and discuss what goes on behind the curtains, and how conventions perform an often terrifying financial high-wire act to bring pony joy to thousands of attendees. (Ever noticed why con orgs tend to only last a few events? After this event, you will know why!)
    Tune in Saturday, February 27, 2016, at 9PM EST/6PM PST— the link to the stream will be on greymare.net. And be sure to follow @GreyMareShow on Twitter for all the latest!
