I am actually headed to Bronycon this year! This will mark a couple of firsts for me: 1) This will be the first public pony-related gathering I will ever attend, and 2) this will be the first convention I have ever attended. If the two points I just mentioned haven't indicated anything, I really do not know what to expect when I do go down to Baltimore on August 1st-3rd. Still it is going to be an experience I will not forget. Is there anyone else going?

I wish that I can go....sadly I can not. And again will be watching con videos on youtube sadly.

That's so cool! You are so lucky to be able to go.
I've always wanted to go to Bronycon, well, always in terms of how long I've known about MLP.
But I have always wanted to! But I can't go for a couple of reasons... which sucks.
I guess I will just be watching Bronycon videos like Enii.

Um... I don't know what to tell you to expect. Uh, Pony drawings, cosplays, everything.
Just be carefull... I'm not exactly sure, but there is always... that side of the fandom you should stay away from. Unless... you want to... in which case don't let me stop you.

maguc : Do you mean the dark side of the fandom? I'm pretty sure they don't allow anything questionable at the convention since it is open to people of all ages.

AuraBlaze : Exactly what I mean. And I hope they don't allow any questionable content in it, considering it is a kids show, a lot of kids will be there. Let's just hope no-one tries any loopholes or breaks the rules or anything...

I really wish I could go to BronyCon, but I went to Comic Con one time, and my mother hates my nerdiness, so she's gonna hate me going to a convention full of a bunch of pony fans. Good luck at BronyCon though. And what side of the fandom?

maguc : Kids never go to BronyCon

Well first of let me say that I hope you enjoy the experience. Obviously I can not go as I am from the United Kingdom and it would cost me an arm and a leg just to ever get there. 

We do however have a convention over here called BUCK, that I am going to so that should be awesome.. Plus I meet up with other bronies in my generic area once a month,. 

The one thing I would say is expect to be sweating a lot.. From my past experiences at conventions they are really hot and humid areas due to the amount of people walking around and the lack of fresh air being circulated around the building. 

Besides that expect a lot of noise from people talking, Screaming, Singing and just people being themselves... 

Also conventions are usually very dear when it comes to food and drinks.. And some venues don't allow you to bring your own food.. So keep that in mind
