BronyCon has held its last convention
Some of you may remember this post from last year. Well, it has happened: the last BronyCon. 10,215 people attended (with rumors that there were enough uncollected badges to hit the 11,000 hard-cap), beating their previous record of 10,011 in 2015. They chose to make this the last year because attendance has been trending downward, and the show it is built around (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) is in its final season.
I was there, and it truly was the experience of a lifetime. They intended to go out with a bang, and they absolutely delivered. Did anyone else here attend (or want to attend)? What were your thoughts on the event this year? Any other current (or former) Bronies on the site?
Some news articles about the event:
Also, people made a memorial on the 200 level of the Baltimore Convention Center. This was from August 2 at 2:37 PM, and this was from August 4 at 2:05 PM.
I'm really sad that I wasn't able to go but a few friends were there and it's been apparently been a lot of fun and they got their hands on a lot of merch/fanstuff. Apparently one of them managed to get contrapoints to sign their FoE book.
I still consider myself part of the fandom, I've met a lot of very good friends there.
I saw a pic of Natalie on /mlp/ and thought (since it was 4chan) that it was fake. I wish I had actually checked her Twitter, I would have loved to meet her in person.
Do you keep up with the show? Have you been to any cons before or plan to go to any in the future? (I'm currently debating if I should go to TrotCon or Everfree NW.)
I do keep up with the show and I do plan to go to Galacon in the future since it's the only con that is within realistic range.
Oh, you're in Europe? It certainly would take awhile to travel to the US. Have fun at Galacon!
