Actually, at Rainfurrest (a furry convention) last year in Seattle there was a HUGE pannel for MLP!
There were about 200 people there and we all watched the first episode of the season, talked about MLP and even sung "Winter wrap up" while they set up the screen.
They served muffins (lol) and cupcakes and chicken and stuff.. Really super fun!
Even if you're not a furry you'd have fun there, there are TONS of pony fans among the furries.
It will be this year in September. Google "rainfurrest 2012"
But yeah, if it's around that time I might be able to make it to yours too. I live about 8 hours away, but I will be there for the RF2012!
