Kind of wish I could go to that, but I despise that video they made for the page. For being 'all generations' the video made it feel like it wasn't =\ Just all kinds of stuff I could point out how I hate it but that's not what this thread is about X D

ANYWAY, sounds fun but I know I couldn't make it. = (  Hope I see you at the MLP Fair though! = D

[Elisto]

Wow...that video...I was thinking it can't be that bad but uh....sure, lets just insult and fly past all the previous generations!

I admit, I was interested until I saw that.

Oh good! I was thinking I was the only one who thought that about the video.

Oooh I can't go to pony fair but maybe I can talk hubby into this:D We're already driving to NJ the end of feb. If the drive from IL isn't too bad we might be able to go:D The vendor space is kinda pricey:/ Gonna give this some serious thought though:)

Same here! In fact, I wish we could have some of the voice actors too - In general, I love VAs more than actors and singers combined!

I can't deny, I wish I could go to the con. It looks so much fun!

Wysteria I think you'd do really well as a vendor feel free to hit me up on phone or email sometime! I will be in TN for the Fair, sorry you won't make it this year but very maybe possibly we'll get to meet up in my neck o' the woods!

We chose the voice actors we did based upon their friendliness with the younger convention goers and their past history doing older gen MLP.

Nicole Oliver (Celestia, Cheerilee) is going to do a really cool thing with the children that come to the convention. I can't reveal what yet, but we will update the site when we are ready to announce.

Cathy Weseluck (Spike, Coco Pommel, Mayor) is also being wonderful! She's so great, I know that you all will love her when you meet her.

We didn't want our guests to be just sitting behind tables for the show, you can get that impersonal treatment anywhere.

We are aiming to be different from other cons, we are putting on a show that will feel more like being in the audience of a Broadway musical or a variety theatre program than a big beige box of celebrities doing the same tired shtick for the Nth time.

The new website is so beautiful! Look at all the amazing artwork. Makes me so excited.

Yes, me too! I can't draw ponies worth a lick but I love, love, LOVE seeing what fan art the community comes up with! We've only just begun putting up artwork.
Our own staff artist Lissanne Lake has drawn us Bowtie, Liberty and Cabbie in all four generations styles! Lissanne is known primarily for her book covers, google her and you'll see her on fantasy novels, like Terry Pratchett Discworld, etc

She is now a pony fan and merrily dived into the classic MLP art styles, first gen one and three, and lately she's all about the graceful and slender G2s. Look for them on the site soon, and maybe I'll even talk her into making an account here so she can post her original works in Artwork forum.

I hope everyone can come attend, its going to be great!

Thanks for helping spread the word, Foxtale! It's going to be an amazing two days of pony art, crafts, vending, contests, and performances.

Lady Aria is working up her concert set now, including songs from MLP, Disney, and Broadway! And being able to use the theatre organ for a full length concert is going to be an amazing musical treat. Very special indeed

[FiddlePhan]

Lady Aria Phantasy is a friend of mine so I'm thinking of attending as I was already planning on being in NYC that week.  The theatre is so gorgeous that it's a reason in itself to attend.  Never thought I'd get a chance to attend any sort of PonyCon.  Now to decide what to wear. 
Any other Canadians attending?

[Foxtale]

Can't believe the Big Apple POnycon is so soon!! Every day there seems to be even more amazing announcements and awesome guests!

I don't know what I'm most excited about! The G1 pony panel with Bonnie, Cathy's and Nicole's events, hearing Tabitha,  seeing all the customs,  getting all fancy at the Pretty Parlor, Ponycakes... there is so much!

Even the venue is an attraction in itself. Being an antiques fan I am so excited about the super unique MLP themed Organ concert. https://www.bigappleponycon.com/Pony-Sing-Along

When will an official schedule be released online or will that occur day of?

(If anyone wants to be train or carpool buddies from Northern NY hit me up via PM )

[Clipper]

I wish I knew about this con..i was in NYC around this time too :-(. Kar, when you start registration for next year, I'd be interested in getting a vendor spot.
