Never say never, dear pony friends, for this is the moment you've all been waiting for. It is our great honor to welcome the one and only Tabitha St. Germain as our latest featured guest. Tabitha makes her pony convention debut with an impressive list of screen and stage roles on her resume, in addition to her acclaimed animation career.

Besides playing the glamorous Rarity and lovely Princess Luna, Tabitha also stars in the titular role of DHX Media's award-winning Martha Speaks. Tabitha began giving voice to ponies long before Friendship is Magic, having played Minty and Scootaloo in the previous generation. She has had roles in the animated Beetlejuice, as well as Ed, Edd, & Eddy. Those of you who are anime fans may remember her from the English dubs of Ranma 1/2, Hamtaro, and InuYasha.

Outside the realm of animation, she has appeared in numerous television shows, including Supernatural and The Outer Limits. Tabitha also won the 1995 Dora Award for her appearance in Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins."

So there you have it, fillies and gentlecolts! Come and join us in Seattle to meet the pony everypony should know. But badges are going fast, and while diamonds are forever, the time to be a part of the first annual Everfree Northwest is not!

Sorry guys, we just sold out! You can e-mail [email protected] to get put on a wait list in case memberships open up.

Post Merge: May 28, 2012, 07:56:54 PM

I've been approved to run a contest here on the forums for one (1) membership to our convention! Details for this contest will follow soon. We also hope to do a drawing for a membership at the MLP Fair in July!

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

Never mind. Right when I posted, I check EQD and find out the tickets are sold out. I had been planning on going ever since January-ish when MicTheMicrophone announced he was going, yet my dad kept holding it off. I'm seriously crying right now. I was going to go for my birthday.

Doesn't matter, to be honest, my parents don't know I have an account here. When they found out I had a Twitter and wikia, they game me a lecture on internet safety. Those were both on differenct occasions. If they wouldn't lecture me about things I already know, I'd definatly try to participate. Unless someone decides to sell theirs online, I won't be able to go.

Maybe they need a bouncer, Wilford!

Fillies and Gentlecolts, you've given us no choice! Everfree Northwest is excited to announce that we’re expanding our venue to include the beautiful SeaTac Airport Marriott Hotel, which sits adjacent to our existing venue, the Holiday Inn. Adding this second venue gives us almost double the space and even more guest rooms!


Venue Expansion

The SeaTac Airport Marriott joins our team and adds even more space for us. Newly remodeled, the Marriott sits conveniently located across the street from the Holiday Inn and is happy to host us as one of their first events since renovating their extensive property. The Holiday Inn still remains our principal site and is working with us to help integrate our second venue into the event. With half a dozen ballrooms and over 13,000 square feet, this space gives us a unique opportunity to truly take Everfree Northwest to the next level.


Additional Memberships and Rooms

In light of our expansion--as well as popular demand--we are pleased to announce that we will begin taking registration for badges once again. However, we must caution that at this point, even with the new venue, that there are less than 450 spaces still available. General attendance badges and a limited number of Dealer’s badges will be available for the same price as before.

Registration re-opens on Saturday, June 9, 2012 at 7:00PM Pacific Standard Time. Understand this is the ONLY time that we will have the opportunity to expand, and that after this additional run of badges is gone, there will be no more available.

Furthermore, our badges are NON-TRANSFERABLE. They cannot be scalped, traded, or re-sold since they require picture ID on site when acquired. Be wary of strangers advertising ticket sales or offering hefty prices to buy your own.

This venue expansion also allows us overflow guest room space. More information on hotels will be available on the official convention website later this week.


Sponsor Badges

In addition to the normal badges, a special, limited run of Sponsor Badges will be available which offers the holder some serious perks. Please stay tuned for further details later this week!


Schedule Delay

As we are working hard to integrate our new venue into the convention, please continue to be patient with regard to our programming and events schedule. We will have it available soon!


Show Talent Update

For those of you who missed it, here is our current lineup of Featured Guests:

Andrea Libman: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy
Tabitha St. Germain: Rarity, Princess Luna, Granny Smith
Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle
Michelle Creber: Apple Bloom, singing voice of Sweetie Belle
Cathy Weseluck: Spike the Dragon, Mayor Mare
Peter New: Big Macintosh
Lee Tockar: Steven Magnet, Snips

Plus let’s not forget our community guests and Ponystock headliners! For more information, check out: http://everfreenw.com/guests-featured.php


Thank you everyone for being patient as we work out the logistics behind this venue expansion. Our website will reflect the changes shortly, and more information regarding registration, hotels, and possibly even a couple new guests will be announced in the next few days!

Wow...you've booked an amazing line-up!  A friend and I were thinking about going - I'm glad that you'll be adding more slots!

The Show-Stoppers are here! Please give a warm welcome to Claire Corlett and Madeleine "Maddy" Peters, who now join Michelle Creber to complete the Cutie Mark Crusaders at Everfree Northwest. We knew we couldn't stop at just one and that Apple Bloom would be lonely without her friends, so we offered them the chance once more to earn their cutie marks. Will they discover their super-special talents? Turns out they already have:

Claire Corlett's talented voice has found its way not only onto Friendship is Magic as Sweetie Belle, but to the hit PBS Kids show, Dinosaur Train and 3-2-1 Penguins! as well.

Maddy Peters not only voices the spirited Scootaloo, but also appeared in previous animated programs, such as Danger 5, Barbie: Princess Charm School, and My Little Pony's award-winning sister production, Martha Speaks.

These three, talented young stars are sure to steal the show this August. Registration re-opens this Saturday night at 7 Pacific, but space is still limited so hurry! The Cutie Mark Crusaders will be here. Will you?

Still looking for lodging to come visit Everfree Northwest? Good news, everypony! We’ve secured rooms at a second hotel within walking distance of the convention for Everfree Northwest guests.
The Seattle Airport Marriott is offering rooms to Everfree guests at a rate of $114 plus tax per night. Amenities are slightly different from those offered at the Holiday Inn, so please check the Everfree Northwest website for full details.
http://everfreenw.com/hotel.php
Be sure to use the Everfree code EVEEVEA when booking with the Seattle Airport Marriott.

Now that you’ve got a place to rest your hooves, how about becoming a Sponsor for Everfree Northwest’s first year?
If you hate waiting in line and have been saving your bits, Everfree Northwest is happy to announce that we are expanding our registration options with the Sponsor Membership!
A Sponsor Membership is a full membership with some fantastic additional pre-paid perks. This membership gives you one autograph from each voice actor or actress attending our convention, normally $20 each with a basic membership. Furthermore, Sponsor Membership holders receive 'front of the line' privileges to all voice actor panels & signings at our convention.
Due to the perks granted by these special badges, there is a limited number available for this tier of membership. If you would like to buy this tier of membership, please e-mail us directly at [email protected].
Already bought your badge? You can also upgrade your current membership to the Sponsor level by contacting us at [email protected].

Finally, in recent weeks, we've seen quite the surge of submitted works appearing in the Everfree NW 2012 conbook mailbox, and the excitement is growing! Good news, right? The trouble is, some folks are worried that they won't have their art ready in time for the deadline, and we've barely seen any action on the writing front. What's a publications director to do, right? Here's what:

1) The deadline for submissions has been extended to June 17. That's right; everyone gets an additional week to finish up that story or get that piece of art worked up.

2) We're putting out a special call to writers to get cracking! There's still room in the conbook for your original fiction, articles, and poems.

3) Look to our updated conbook information page -- http://everfreenw.com/conbook.php -- for information about how to submit your work.

Remember, every Everfree NW attendee will receive a copy of the meticulously designed full-colour conbook. Over a thousand fans will see your published work, and it'll forever be part of their memories of the convention. Don't miss this chance!
