• Everfree Northwest Wants You to Come Visit August 11th - 13th!



    Hello everypony! The Illustrious Q is here once again to bring you some convention news!

    And in this case it's from Everfree Northwest! Which will happen the weekend of August 11th - 13th.

    What news do I have to relay? Well for one thing, if you are looking for something fun to do in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue that weekend, they want you to come. 

    If you want to meet some of the cast behind My Little Pony: Make Your Mark/Tell Your Tale, they want you to come.

    If you want to rock out with some of the best Brony Musicians in the fandom, they want you to come.

    If you want to hang out for a weekend of fun with what has to be the largest number of community guests any convention has ever seen, they want you to come!

    Basically if you like My Little Pony, Everfree Northwest wants you to come. But you don't have to take my word for it. You can check out the amazing guest lineup, and perhaps some highlights of notable panels/vendors, after the break!

    Guests of Honor

    No Pony convention is complete without guests of honor, and boy does EFNW on that front. The convention will have 13 Guests of Honor this year! Featuring:
    • Jenna Warren (Sunny Starscout)
    • Ana Sani (Izzy Moonbow)
    • Bahia Watson (Misty)
    • Amanda Martinez (Queen Haven)
    • Athena Karkanis (Queen Opaline)
    • Joshua Graham (Sprout)
    • Bill Newton (Pony of Shadows/Stygian/Bright Mac)
    • Gillian Berrow (Make Your Mark Story Editor/Head Writer)
    • Tony Fleecs (MLP Comic Artist/Make Your Mark Writer)
    • Jeremy Whitley (MLP Comic Writer)
    • Tony Matthews (MLP: A New Generation Producer) - Friday 8/11 Only
    • Mystery Guest #1 (Revealed at Opening Ceremonies) - Friday 8/11 Only
    • Mystery Guest #2 (Revealed at Opening Ceremonies)
    I'm curious to find out who the Mystery Guests of Honor will be. And this is just me speculating, but it would be epic if Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Zipp Storm) and JJ Gerber (Hitch Trailblazer) were the mystery guests. But you'll have to come out to the convention to find out who they are.

    Featured Guests

    This year, Everfree Northwest is opening portals to the Boiling Isle and... prohibition era St. Louis? 

    Or is that just one portal to Hell?  Both happen to feature plenty of demons...

    Vendors

    I could very easily just make a list of all the stanbdout vendors who I highly recommend you should go visit and buy stuff from, but that's basically going to be a repost EFNW's Website! So I'm just going to say you should really check out the website and decide for yourself who you want to visit! I can gurantee you will not be disappointed.

    So I hope you are ready to have some fun at Everfree Northwest! You'll be glad you did. Hope to see you at the con. Until then, I am The Illustrious Q!
