Amy Keating Rogers Gives BABSCon its Cutie Mark this March!
Beloved and prolific MLP show writer joins voice Guests of Honor Kelly Sheridan and Trevor Devall
San Francisco, August 20, 2017: For
the first time since our inaugural event in 2014, BABSCon is honored to
announce the bard of pickle barrels, kumquats, and
chimicherrychangas—the one and only Amy Keating Rogers—will be joining us this March!
It’s no stretch to say that Amy is among the most beloved of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’s writers,
given that her credits include (among others) “Fall Weather Friends,”
“A Dog and Pony Show,” “The Best Night Ever,” “Pinkie Pride,” “Testing
Testing 1, 2, 3” and “Canterlot Boutique” before giving the Cutie Mark
Crusaders their cutie marks at long last in “Crusaders of the Lost
Mark.”If you’ve ever sung along to Pinkie Pie’s “ Smile Song” or any of the “Weird Al” Yancovic-fueled madness in “Pinkie Pride,” you have Amy to thank. (She might even be an evil enchantress!)
Amy is known throughout the pony world for her warmth, humor, and mad
ukulele skills, and we couldn’t be happier to have her back. She’ll be
joining Kelly Sheridan and Trevor Devall among our Guests of Honor.
You don’t want to miss out on your first chance to see Amy at BABSCon in four years, so register now!

About Bronies
Fans of the show My Little Pony use
the word "brony", a portmanteau of the words "bro" and "pony", though
it can be used for any gender. Typically, bronies are centralized around
the current edition of the My Little Pony franchise, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,
which was created in 2010 by Lauren Faust for Hasbro. Bronies are
typically between 15-30 in age, and majority male, but welcoming of all
genders. The fan community is known for its immense volume of creative
output, including art, music, comic, animations, and more. Beyond the
creative endeavors, Bronies have been noted for their charitable work,
inspired by the values codified in the animated series, and participate
regularly in events to give back to their local communities. It is the
hope of many bronies to help add kindness, laughter, honesty, loyalty,
generosity, and a bit of magic to the world around them.
