GalaCon Cancelled Due to COVID

 

As the pandemic continues, GalaCon has unfortunately had to cancel their in-person event this year with hopes of being able to get everyone together July 30th-31st, 2022! Tickets that have been bought for the 2021 event will be valid for 2022 but if you really do wish to refund your ticket you have till June 30th, 2021 to do so!

While the news for conventions has been relatively bleak so far this year, it's encouraging that conventions are still hoping to return in 2022 rather than fold up altogether. Best of luck to all of our hard-working convention ponies out there!

Equestria Daily Galacon 2018 Retrospective

Hallo Alleponi!

This is The Illustrious Q, and low and behold I cover things other than comic books!

I am multitalented.

The above joke was Ferret’s fault. But what not Ferret’s fault, aside from the fact I used the joke, is that I and several others from Equestria Daily spent a weekend at Galacon in Ludwigsberg Germany!

That is all Gameleon’s fault. We just couldn’t say no to his adorable face.

So, how did this weekend go for myself and others from Equestria Daily? Well, User will have his own thoughts and observations recorded further on in the blog, but as for myself my Galacon adventure--which you can read all about after the break--started on the Wednesday before the convention during a side trip to Amsterdam...
