Equestria LA Anyone?

[Snapdragon]

Is anyone going to Equestria LA (EQLA) this coming weekend? (Nov. 3rd and 4th at the Anaheim Convention Center!) Since it's local and it's ponies, I'll be there, even if it can't compare to the MLPFair! (Oh, if only the Fair would come to the West Coast again ... hint hint!)

I'd love to meet fellow Arena-ites, maybe we could pick a day/time to meet up or something?

I didn't realize there was going to be a FIM fair in Anaheim (my home town). Hopefully I'll be able to attend.

I'm going!

It's going to be my first convention, too, so I'm especially excited!

By the way, the EQLA site has released a list of the vendors at the event!

Among the vendors are some big companies such as WeLoveFine and Enterplay, as well as semi-famous bronies such as John Joseco and HotdiggedyDemon!
Michelle Creber(voice of Apple Bloom and singing voice of Sweetie Belle) also has her own booth for some reason!

[Snapdragon]

Hotdiggetydemon? Huh, who knew? Excited for WLF, Michelle Creber and Enterplay, though!! Maybe we'll have an exclusive card?! *dies of glee*

[hathorcat]

How do you get to be a famous brony? No actually scratch that...I dont want to know

Sounds like a massive event though - I hope you guys have a great time!

I'm going both days! I'm so excited, it'll be my first pony convention and the first convention I get to go to that isn't Comic Con (Comic Con's great, but variety is the spice of life after all). I'd love to meet some Arena members there. I won't be wearing anything extremely noticeable, likely just a Ditzy shirt and necklace of my ponysona. But it would be awesome if there was a time set up where we could meet.

I was unfortunately only able to get sunday badges (They sold out of 2-day and saturday badges the day right before I bought mine. Talk about bad luck!)

Hopefully I won't miss much, since most of the panels are being repeated on the sunday.

By the way, are you guys also going to the BronyCon Documentary screening on the sunday?

[Zenobiaa]

That's unfortunate. Well you'll still have fun, I'm sure!

I wish I was, but I'm not going to the screening. It would've been too much on top of the admission/hotel/etc.

[Snapdragon]

Yeah, I'm ... not impressed with the Bronycon Documentary, to begin with? And asking us to pay $100 to essentially be a test-audience (AKA, they usually pay YOU to watch their unfinished work )? No thanks! (Thankfully, I think 'rush' tickets are only $20.)

I'm sorry you won't be able to go the first day, Bread! Maybe we can schedule our Arena-playdate on Sunday! ^_^

[Bread]

I'm not sure you guys know this, but the documentary screening added the option for $50 pre-sale tickets if you can't afford/don't want a $100 ticket.

I guess they realized that $100 is a bit too much

[hathorcat]

Wait...$100 to see a pre release doc? Lol...as Snap says normally you get paid to sit on these things!

Is this the first showing of the documentary?

[Zenobiaa]

Paying the extra $50 to get the more expensive ticket only gets you a Blu Ray copy of it instead of a digital copy. Not entirely worth it imo.

@hathorcat, yes, this will be the first screening.


Also, I have a question. I could've sworn when we bought tickets that it said kids 13 and under got in free, and they'd get a free ticket at the convention (I even showed this to my dad when he asked if we should buy my non-pony fan 11 year old brother a ticket in case we cant find him a sitter) but I just checked the website and now apparently it's only 10 and under? Did we both not read it right or did it really change?

The site says that kids 10 and under get in free, and kids 13 and under must have a parent or guardian with them.

I guess this is sold out now?! ugh wish I would have known about this sooner! I could have got my mom to take me since it's SO close!

I know that's what it says now, but I thought for sure it said otherwise when we registered in September. Maybe Im just imagining things.
