Followed by some books, a Blackjack plush and print (Signed by Somber, author of Project Horizons)
Some art by the IDW comics crew. Signed up for a VIP dinner with Andy Price, Tony Fleecs, Sara Richard and Trish Forstner. Ended up not going, since there was a Roast M.A. Larson panel that I didn't want to miss. Was able to pick up the loot attendees to that dinner get: A rare art book, and a commission done by all four artists. Went with Best Mom.
Also got a couple commissions from Andy Price: That larger sketch features Windy Whistles cuddling a tiny Rainbow Dash, and the other one off to the side (Harder to see unfortunately) features Bob Ross holding Fluttershy.

Even more books. Would've gotten more, but was only able to get to the Bronycon Bookstore in the vendor hall was on day 2, they were sold out of a lot.

And the best part, plushies:

A 36" long Applejack by QTpony. Comes with a hat, magnetic apple, and removable socks. Adorable. Somehow I got the first spot in the day one vendor hall line. QTpony's plushies sold out fast.

Bad news is, I flew to Baltimore this year, and there's no way I'm packing that AJ plush on a plane. Thankfully a friend who drove up brought a bodybag with him, and was able to smuggle said plush back to Tennessee. I'll be picking it up later.

Got some more pics to upload later, I'll post em shortly after

Nice grabs! That is quite an impressive AJ. The bookstore was always so crowded.

I didn't get to the bookstore on day one, but apparently it was so crowded, con security had to step in and organize the line. Picked up a handful on day two, and intend to buy more from Lulu and the Ministry of Image (Based in Russia, includes english translations. Shipping's pricey and long though).

Finished uploading the rest of my pics from that trip.

Some highlights:
Seafood Cioppino at Gordon Ramsays restautant. I didn't get any steak, I live in the middle of Tennessee, and I reckon if I looked hard enough I could find some quality beef. Seafood on the other hand, not so much. Had some truffle fries and toffee cake as well, were delicious. About went back to my hotel room in a food coma.
