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.

A Random Question For Everyone

Just so my blog doesn't get stale (again), I've got a question/discussion topic for you.   If you could have any ONE superpower, as yourself in your own life, what would be your choice and why?   Choose wisely.   Also I'm pretty sure this is my shortest blog entry yet.

You Got Ponies In My Bionicle! (Update: Response #2!)

UPDATE: Here's an audio clip I threw together! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27614263/Twiley.mp3 Andrew Francis is the voice of Jaller from Mask of Light, as well as Shining Armor from the My Little Pony season 2 finale.   UPDATE 2: And now his response to the audio clip!   There are actually a number of voice actors with roles in both the Bionicle movies and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I posted this in Aho's blog comments a couple weeks ago, but here's a list I threw together: Tabitha St. G

Brickfair

Oh man, you guys.   Take a wild guess who's officially registered for BrickFair.   Yep, you guessed it!   Takuma Nuva!   And guess who our very own Evil Blog Master is going to be bringing with him to BrickFair!?   That's right, HIS COUSIN! (Man, you're so good at this)   Okay fine, I'll stop with the fake-outs and make my announcement:   I've just officially registered and paid for BrickFair!   I'll actually be hopping on Takuma's train when it stops through my area, hanging out with him all th

My Name Is Orange!

That's right, I'm finally a POBZPC! And it only took me 8 years, 6 months, and 18 days here on BZP to do it!   Maybe I'll actually use this blog now! =P   ~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)

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

1-Year Brony Anniversary Celebration

So one year ago on March 29th, Takuma Nuva convinced me to watch Episode 1 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I then went on to watch five more episodes that night. That was the night I became a brony.     I did not get a healthy amount of sleep that night.   In the past year, I've bought pony merch, helped out a bit with several brony collabs and projects, and I even got to meet up IRL with a brony in my area for coffee! (He even gave me an amazing hand-carved woodwork Fluttershy!)

LEGO Studios Backlot

Jeez, Johnny, I'm two feet away. You don't need to yell.   Anyone here remember playing this on Lego.com way back in the day? Crazy to think it was over 10 years ago since it launched; less than a year after Bionicle started!   Several fond memories: That one guy with the pointless three-question movie trivia Running around delivering coffee to the movie crew Spotting Takua in the Commissary (!!)

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

Welcome To Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum...

...Known from coast-to-coast like butter and toast! From headlines to deadlines, from schoolrooms to poolrooms! No other place in the contiguous United States or other environments of the world! Welcome! Yep, that's right, I stole Laughin'Man's blog's old theme! (With permission, of course. ) So, yeah, I'm pretty much a huge Tally Hall fan. Hence my blog theme change, and my avatar and signature change. I've had plans to do this for a long time, but due to procrastination/indecision (r

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

I Am Insane.

Completely, entirely insane. Clinically insane.   Why, you may ask?   Gaze upon my awesomeness!   Yes, that is what it appears to be. No, it is not 'shopped. Just an extremely good sale at my local Wal-Mart.   Oh, yeah, if any of you were planning to steal some, don't bother. I've got the perfect defense system activated and guarding them. Behold my Lazorcat Defense System!     EDIT: Hey, well whaddayaknow? I found another Axalara not pictured here just in the other room. Go figure! =P

Do What You Want 'cuz A Pirate Is Free!

...or at least SHOULD be...   After searching about 3 stores yesterday, I FINALLY found one with the new sets! I got Toa Onua (Who is awesome), and Takanuva (WHO IS EXTREMELY AWESOME). =P   Yesterday I played for a long time on Pirates Online, and I even recruited a couple BZP members for it in the past couple days! At this point, our Guild (club) contains: David Wavetamer (me) Michael Wavetamer (my brother who stole my last name. =P) Samuel Goldrage (DudeNuva) Sven Lockshot (Torhuki) Takuma

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
