Here's an article about the convention. You can see the Twilight/Discord cosplays I talked about there.

There's also a picture of me drawing. :v:

Her grandfather's costume (in the third pic) is hilariously awesome. :lol:

Yeah. I'm wondering if he's actually a fan of the show, or he did it for his granddaughter, but he made me laugh everytime he walked by :lol:

That really is a hilarious and awesome costume, probably in my top ten cosplays. You look awesome too, Baker.

Well, I think "Secret of My Excess" is almost certainly his favorite episode, we just watched it tonight. I forget that episode always makes me tear up, it's a really good one.


"Secret of My Excess" is in my top 3 of S2.
Pinkie Pie: So, you see this here? This, um, this is um, a big, round room. It's known for its roundness, and bigness, and did I mention that it's round?

In case there's anyone who doesn't follow the comics too closely, I highly recommend finding a copy of Friends Forever #15 (starring Applejack and Mayor Mare; it just came out today). I think it's one of the best issues ever done in the comics and (as with pretty much all the rest of the Friends Forever issues) should be plenty appealing even to those who aren't especially big fans of the oftentimes more adventure-y issues of the main series.

Can you believe I still haven't checked out the comics? :v: From what it sounds like, this may be the first one I'll get.

Hard to believe this is probably the last week for the offseason general show chat. Welcome back monthly general show chats!

No one expected the wait to be this long. After all, look at the first post... :gotcha:

Hopefully, the wait for S6 won't be as long as this, though I wonder why the wait was so long... :pinkieshrug:

I'm pretty sure the Hub ---> Discovery Family transition was a major contributor to the delay but there could have been other factors.

Something random I thought I'd share: I spotted a pony shirt at a thrift store for what I'm pretty sure was the first time today. Actually, two, but one of them doesn't count because it's stupid and it sucks. The real one was this Octavia and DJ PON-3 one. There were actually quite a few We Love Fine shirts in general, including a couple identical Homestucks and a few of Bee and Puppycat, including this clever design. They all had special never-half-off price tags. I wonder where they came from.

There were also literally close to a hundred identical black shirts bearing the logo of GTX Castrol and the signature of... John Force, I guess? I didn't memorize the name, but Wikipedia says he's the racer who's sponsored by them. Somebody must have had a warehouse full of unsold merchandise and decided to dump them off.

The only place I've ever seen merchandise specifically related to our fandom, as opposed to the usual licensed MLP merch that's for kids, has been when it's for sale at Hot Topic. I've never seen anyone wearing a pony T-shirt or whatever.

The kiosk at Universal Studios Florida had adult pony T-Shirts and other stuff for the fandom. I'm editing all the (500! :twonk: )of the photos I took on vacation right now, I should have them up sometime either today or tomorrow.

For some reason, my T stop in Boston was like the epicenter of random people in pony shirts. I'd see one a month or so at least. During Anime Boston, I even ran into some people boarding the train in Pinkie Pie and Sweetie Belle cosplay.

Not to mention the 60-year-old woman I once saw there wearing a homemade FREE TIREK shirt. Total mix between :starity: and :fluttercite:.

I'm sure I mentioned this at the time, but I once saw someone wearing that shirt that has the main six in steampunk getups when I was on a trip.

At least I can now get up at the luxuriously late hour of 8am to watch it, since ponies seem to be taking the LPS time slot.

I just can't believe it. It's finally here. It's been more than a year but we're finally getting it. :party:

Also, what time would it air in Europe? And us there going to be a streaming service this year?

It doesn't look like any one of us will be able to stream it, at least for the time being. I'm sure that at least a few people in the rest of the fandom will set up a decent stream or two, though.

I have so many things to do to prepare for my flight out on Sunday.

All of them are important, but the most important, the most important of all, is to rewatch Season 4. :v:

Sat down just now and pounded back everything up to Bats! Debating whether to marathon the rest of the season in a single sitting, no breaks, and see how long it takes for the hallucinations to begin.
