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:

Needless to say they were popular, but maybe the biggest fan was a 2 year old boy who was with his mom (grandma?) and was walking around the hotel (wasn't attending the con) when they saw my Celestia one (with my Cele plushie in the back).
Anyway here's the goods:

I was a sponsor so I got a t shirt, comic, poster, and some buttons as part of the deal. The Luna shirt glows under blacklight, the treasury edition of the comic is signed by Thom (an arc he did), and the paper pony (Raripunk) is from Miki Silence.

The plushie is a 4DE one, WeLoveFine Snake Future Twilight, and the best item of all; the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Yet to Come wall scroll by Spiritofthwwolf https://spiritofthwwolf.deviantart.com/art/Ghost-610888874 I get chills just looking at it.
It looks like the con will be back next year. :biggrin:

Thanks. Yeah it was nice to finally get away from everything and just ham it up (now there's nothing to look forward to until next year though. :huh: ). Here's a more in depth journal about it: https://lonewolf3878.deviantart.com/journal/CanterlotKC-Wrap-Up-712568727

Since I ordered them while I was at CKC, I'm gonna' include these. I ordered the CMC blind bag size set (it's about time all 3 were made in BB size), and a Skystar brushable. The CMC's came a couple days ago:

And Skystar came today. I thought she was going to be brushable size, but she's fashion size (brushable in pic' for comparison). Her eyes are behind clear plastic, which gives them some depth:
