I attended a new pony con in Kansas City (actually Overland Park) called CanterlotKC (rising from the ashes of Midwest Brony Fest). Being a first year con with no big guests (only ones were Thom Zahler of the comics and popular MLP reviewer/animation maker Ilovekimpossiblealot ), and being on the same weekend as the last Nightmare Nights Dallas, attendance was pretty light. It was still fun though (and the lighter attendance made it more personal and less hectic).
I hammed it up with 4 cosplays over the 3 days including a new one I made for the cosplay contest: A combination Changeling/Team Fortress 2 spy. Didn't win anything though (there were only 6 people in it). The best event was the musical Tesla coil display (it almost didn't happen as it failed to work when they first set it up. It was tested and the problem was found so it was held after the cosplay contest).
I took both of my R/C trucks loaded with plushies and was running them around the event:

Anyway here's the goods:

It looks like the con will be back next year.
