Fifth Brony Anniversary

*comes out of hibernation/lurk mode*   Almost exactly five years ago, I started watching Episode 1 of MLP:FiM. It's been a long time since then and lots of things have changed, but I'm glad to still be a fan.   In the past five years, I've put together numerous song covers, was a part of multiple voice-acted projects (which were unfortunately scrapped D:), made a lot of friends in the fandom (and still regularly do so), and even attended two conventions (and after this weekend, three!). It's not

Need BrickFair/Bronycon Travel Advice/Help

As I've mentioned elsewhere in posts and comments, I'm hoping to attend both BrickFair and Bronycon this year due to their relatively close proximity to each other and being on consecutive weekends.   (For reference, BrickFair is July 29 - August 2, Bronycon is August 7-9).   Here's the problem. Should I fly home after BrickFair and then fly back for Bronycon, or do I try to stay somewhere in the DC/Baltimore area all week until the end of Bronycon, and then fly back home?   If I stay the whole

Fourth Brony Anniversary

Or specifically, the fourth anniversary of the night I started the show and became a fan!   I know I made and posted my annual song cover a few weeks early, but I'm really glad I did, because two days later I came down with an awful and persistent cold that's even still affecting my voice.   Anyways, not a whole lot of new stuff to talk about this year, since season 4 ended shortly after my last anniversary entry, and the fandom has seemingly gone into a bit of a hibernation during this insane 3

Need Some BrickFair Advice...

I've got something I hate to admit, but I'm at my wit's end and need help, so here goes...   I will be at BrickFair VA this year, as several of you already probably know/assumed, and I've already got travel and hotel arrangements taken care of, but there's one thing that I haven't done yet.   I, uh... I haven't actually registered for the con yet.   YES I KNOW, I need to register/pay by the 14th, and I will, but I've been stuck on one minor detail: deciding what to put on my Brickbadge bricks.

Third Brony Anniversary!

Oh hey, it's my 3-year anniversary of when I first started watching MLP!   Since you guys probably know the drill by now, I'm gonna cut to the chase.   As you may have expected, I've recorded another cover. I was looking for a song with a male vocalist from this season to sing, but my only choices were either one of "Weird Al" Yankovic's many songs in Pinkie Pride, or John de Lancie's fantastic "Glass of Water" song as Discord. And honestly, I'm not worthy of even attempting to cover those.   So

Totally Officially Finally 100% Confirmed for BrickFair

Many of you already knew I wasn't gonna let BrickFair VA 2013 pass me by, I just wanted to drop by and let you guys know that as of THIS MINUTE, the last details of my trip have been finalized and paid for! If you're anywhere remotely near the DC area and are free on August 3rd or 4th, BE THERE (early) OR BE SQUARE.   Oh, and on an unrelated note, I just noticed the other day that my 10th anniversary here on BZPower was this past July 7th! I was planning to wax poetic about how much this site ha

Two-Year Brony Anniversary!

(Or if you're Pinkie Pie, my 24th Monthiversary)     On the night of March 29th, 2011, I started watching MLP:FiM at the behest of Takuma Nuva, and I was pretty much immediately hooked. Two years worth of regular brony meetups, brony voice acting projects, and one brony convention later, it's interesting to see how simply being a part of the brony community for these two years has impacted my life in significant (and largely positive) ways.   You guys might remember my 1st Brony Anniversa

Better Than Pokémon

Oh yeah. I went there. --- In all honesty, though, I can't wait to get Pokémon X/Y. A 3DS-native game is long overdue, if you ask me.   ~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)

Happy Nightmare Night!

>Posts entry asking specifically for video game or pony-related pumpkin carving ideas >Gets suggestions for Pumpkinception, MSPA, BIONICLE, Ninjago, and Doctor Who series 5       Well, at any rate, I found a design! Some of the details were extremely difficult, because my brothers somehow managed to break all of our pumpkin carving tools on their pumpkins, so all I had to work with was a dull steak knife and a small screwdriver.   All things considered, I think it turned out pretty darn g

I Need Pumpkin Ideas!

As some of you may know, I try to carve a geeky/video-game related/pony Jack-o'-Lantern every year for Halloween.   The problem is, tomorrow is Halloween, and I still haven't picked out a pattern to carve this year! Anyone have any ideas?   I don't have any particularly nice tools (just cheap plastic saws from dollar store kits), and I'd prefer not to have any shaved/thinned parts as I found out they don't light up well with just a candle inside. I'd like to do another pony-themed pattern this y

Ask AT!

Ask me things and I will answer things!   Because jumping on bandwagons late is fun, and also because I need blog filler material since I have nothing else to blog about.   I'll put all answers here:   I'd say probably Joe.  I dream of electric sheep. Do they count as farm animals?  The difference is that one of them is a duck.  I dunno, but I'd like to shake his hand; he made my baby fall in love with me~  Approximately 28.2 sgu* of sand.  More like a Daytime Lord. And only during the summer.

Midwestria, Days 2 and 3

Oh yeah! I was supposed to blog about Saturday and Sunday, wasn't I?   Saturday (9/15) was most definitely the high point of the con.   I started out in the artists/vendors room, bought a bunch of buttons and a Vinyl Scratch hat. Ran into a friend of mine from my local meetups who was selling some of his own handmade plushies, and bought a Twilight and Fluttershy.   I headed over to the game room, where we had about 35 people gathered for a massive game of "Are You A Changeling" (Ponified versio
