BroNYCon is going to be FLOODED with big names. I can't believe how open the team behind this show is. Purple Tinker once again has a whole bunch of awesome news for you, including the big announcement of Ashleigh Ball (Applejack and Rainbow Dash) signing up to attend!
Anyway, check out the full writeup below!
Note: The new episode will be shown at the convention, you won't miss it. It's actually 100% cooler watching it with 300+ people anyway.
It is with great pleasure that we announce a last-minute Guest of Honour for BroNYCon January 2012, the wonderfully talented Ms. Ashleigh Ball, voice of Rainbow Dash and Applejack! In addition to voicing two of the Mane Six, Ms. Ball is a talented musician (heading the band Hey Ocean) and a seasoned voice actress. Her IMDB entry can be seen at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1868320/ .
Ms. Ball joins her previously-announced MLP:FiM costars Ms. Andrea Libman (Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy) and Ms. Nicole Oliver (Princess Celestia, Cheerilee) on our VA panel.
But that's not all. We're also adding a number of additional special features to the convention, including:
* A special appearance, via Skype, by PinkiePieSwear at our Musicians' Panel!
* A demo/appearance from the staff of The Fiends From Dream Valley!
* An appearance by the good ponies from EverFree Radio!
* A possible special surprise from the creators of 'Epic Cupcake Time'!
Plus, good news! Due to the huge number of special features we're adding to the con, we're extending the length of the whole convention by an hour or so! (The final schedule will be posted soon.) Even more amazing pony entertainment for your bits!
So, what are you waiting for? Go to http://www.meetup.com/Bronies-NYC/events/24366841/ and RSVP today!
Further information on BroNYCon is available on the official website at www.bronycon.org.
In the spirit of friendship,
Purple Tinker

And now I will try to get ahold of a ticket
ReplyDeleteTo the Lucky swines going to that - have fun!
ReplyDeleteI soooooooooooo wish that was an episode-free weekend. I have the cash, the vacation time, and the means to make it there. And I'm tethered by the show! D:
ReplyDeleteHeard about this at the meetup on Saturday. So excited! Gonna bring my SDCC poster to have them sign :D
ReplyDeleteLet's see.....Skype chat with PinkiePieSwear over at the music part, an appearance from the voice actor of my favorite pony (Applejack), and alongside that being a musician herself. Wohoo!!
ReplyDeleteAnd much, much more?! It's more than my heart can handle.....
As a request from your friend Wikipedia MLPFIM editor:
ReplyDeleteThose with cameras, if you could please get nice pictures of all the special guests and upload them to Flickr or Commons @ Wikepedia, we can visualize these articles betters with the people behind it (That's how we have Jayson and Sethiso on the main article at Wikipedia).
Holy Sh*t...That sounds like one awesome BroNYcon
ReplyDeletetoo far away. ;-;
ReplyDeleteAw man, the voice of the great Rainbow Dash herself is going to be there? I wish I could go.
ReplyDeleteSo glad she's attending. I guess that means her voice problems weren't serious.
ReplyDeleteI envy those lucky lucky LUCKY bronies who get to go.
ReplyDeleteDarn the powerlessness to get a decent US visa!
Why do I have to be so far away from New York?
ReplyDelete@XyroTR1 THE EPISODE IS GOING TO BE SHOWN AT THE CON! Fear not.
ReplyDelete*Sigh*
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see an announcement like this, it makes me sad that I can't go.
Then I go watch ponies and cheer myself up.
I guess i'll be eating a royal Jelly sandwitch for dinner...
ReplyDeleteWHY MUST I LIVE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COUNTRY!!! D:<
ReplyDelete@XyroTR1
ReplyDeleteAnd even better: watching the episode with all these pony celebs!
Damdamdamdamdamdam
ReplyDeleteWhy!! If I could meet her, my life would be complete...
She rocks(so does Rainbow) and Hey Ocean isn't bad
Still to far...
I wish this was in California. DARN MY CURRENT LIMITED CASH FLOW, GRRRR.
ReplyDeleteNow just get Tara Strong and Tabitha St. Germain and we'll have the whole Mane Six!
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteWonder how much it would cost to hold the con in Columbia? Or maybe Charlotte
So Andrea and Ashleigh? That's four out of the Mane6 ponies!
ReplyDelete>New York City
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, I'll stick with Chicago.
Nice! My favorite VA from the show. I didn't know she did Junebug.
ReplyDeleteStupid university, why did the winter semester have to happen while something fun is going on?
ReplyDelete@Steve Jobs
ReplyDeleteI wish there were some conventions in Chicago, then I would totally go to one. NY is just too far for me.
As fun as it sounds, I'm gonna have to miss it due to distance and the fact that it's happening the same weekend as Magfest :(
ReplyDeleteOh sure, just make me more disappointed that I can't come. ;P
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this sounds like a great con, and I hope all who're able to go have a great time, and the guests have an even better time.
That image makes me want some apple juice C:

ReplyDeleteI hope everypony has fun!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to stop off at Lombardi's on 32 Spring Street (Best NY Pizza I've ever had...)
i have the most important question there is to ask if somepony gonna go to BroNYCon.
ReplyDeleteis someone going to record the whole thing? idc if its atlease hrs long since i'll take the pleasure of watching it all from start to finish from this awesome event :D
crap. Someone needs to stream this or something, for the people who can't attend.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could make it to BroNYcon.
ReplyDeleteAlas, I live in Alberta, and cannot travel such a distance on my dime ;_;
@DJGaugen
ReplyDeleteA fellow Chicagofag I presume?
@XyroTR1
ReplyDeleteYou should GO! GO FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT! Seriously. Nopony will blame ya. Well, I wont. lol
That's cool. Eh, I won't be there unfortunately. Wish I could be, but it's just too much for me to spend right now. But I hope anyone who's going have a good time.
ReplyDeleteI shall just have to have faith in you NYC bronies with digital video cameras, and then live vicariously though you several days later.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it'll be SO! AWESOME!
D:
ReplyDeleteThis makes me 200% more guilty that I can't go to BroNYcon.
Steve Jobs gets a post, but not Kim Jong-Il?
ReplyDeletexD
Even if I could manage to get the money to go all the way to New York, MAGFest just happens to be going on that same weekend. Maybe if I'm lucky I will be able to go to the next Summer event or something though.
ReplyDeleteMy god, BroNYcon just keeps getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteYet you people complaining you live in the opposite side of the country, try picturing living in the other side of the FREAKING PLANET. Let's just hope there are good videos of the convention afterwards.
And XyroTR1, you have the time and means to go, but you will stay just to make the stream and give us that weekend's episode? DUDE, ALL MY RESPECT.
Rest In Pieces, Kim Jong-Il! :)
ReplyDeleteWhy must I be so young?
ReplyDeleteAnd live in Canada?
;.;
Looks like Bronycon is gonna be awesome!
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there.
Wonder what it's going to be like next year...
Imagine...
This depresses me. You guys better videotape EVERYTHING and upload this entire event on YouTube so the rest of us who can't go can enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteKim Jong Il died.
ReplyDeleteFlutteryay.
I would totally move to the United States just for this con... but alas, I am but a poor college student yet to even find a job... ugh... So. Jealous.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I live in South Carolina again?
ReplyDelete@gillnavisingh Forget? It should be mandatory. Hands down, the best pizza ever. Pizza Hut and all the other chains can just suck it.
ReplyDeleteI needed a push to RSVP for this, and this was it. So psyched! Probably won't sleep the night before.
Wait Kim Jong II died?
ReplyDeleteWhen was this?
*goes to news*
Oh
And I will be snapping pictures like crazy during this. Just hope my camera can keep up.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool and all but I certainly hope that the attendees can control themselves. I'm not sure what happened with Applebloom's VA's youtube (can't remember her name) but it seems fan related. The fans need to control themselves because not all forms attention is welcome or appropriate even if it was asked for.
ReplyDelete@keneticpes
ReplyDeleteWhich part?
Why do these Conventions always have to be on the East Coast.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud to represent such a great musicians panel. This is gonna be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSweet Celestia this thing will be awesome. Can't wait!
ReplyDelete@val_heart
ReplyDeleteI agree that the last thing we want is for the staff and cast of the show to think of Bronies as creeps.
I'm not sure what happened with Applebloom's VA, but it is a shame if some of the fans made her feel uncomfortable after she went to the trouble of posting a video for the community to enjoy.
Why must BroNYcon have to be at the other side of the country!?!?
ReplyDeleteI want to go SOOO bad but I can't take the trip over there
I demand that these panels get recorded so that us who cant attend BroNYCon can still see them.
ReplyDeleteGah feel so envious for the bronies who get to go...
ReplyDelete@Shiranai
ReplyDeleteIt didn't have anything to do with the fans. Apparently, she needed to get Hasbro's permission. It was mentioned in the last Nightly Roundup.
@Val_Heart: The issue with the Applebloom / Sweetie Belle video wasn't at all fan related. The video was taken down until Hasbro gives permission to repost it (at least according to Everfree Radio, reposting an email).
ReplyDeleteAnd man, this is seriously tempting me to attend more and more. I even have free flight tickets to redeem...
Ohh thats too far to travel from Equestria :(
ReplyDeleteWhy do I feel like I want to go, but too cheap to do so. ;-;
ReplyDeleteWow, major props Purple Tinker, the lineup of special guests are amazing. That's nothing short of impressive.
ReplyDeleteI hope some people get footage of all the main panels. I was a little disappointed at how little video came out of the last BroNYcon. There were lots of picture, which was great, but some nice YouTube uploads of the special guest talks would be really great for the other ~50,000 bronies that won't be there.
They need to move that con to BRRR Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteLibman, Oliver AND Ball together? Holy smackerel!
ReplyDeleteAnd here I am stuck on the other side of the country. :-/
Everfree radio is so excited to go.
ReplyDeleteI'll be one of them there! And now so many VAs! This will be awesome!
see you guys there! ill be walking around with a blue pony hanging around my neck, along with a friend from Everfree Radio (not telling who :D)
ReplyDelete@Autumn Spice
ReplyDeleteOHOHOHO!
YE DAMN RIGHT WE SHALL BE THERE >:D *notsosecretanymorelol*
Oh sure, twist the dagger further. If you want me I'll be in the corner with my Celestia cursing my Minnesota living and no money.
ReplyDeleteakljdf;lasjkfd;asldkfj I wish I had money TT_TT
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling mass amounts of sadness right now, because it's December, I'm in Australia and I don't think I'd be able to get the money for round trip air tickets and tickets to go to BroNYcon
ReplyDeleteAnd the worst part is...MY FAVOURITE VOICE ACTOR WILL BE THERE!!! T_T
@AllAreBestPony
ReplyDeleteWHY MUST I LIVE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE WORLD!!! D:<
Damn me for living in Seattle! So jelly.
ReplyDeleteReally wish I could go but alas I can't so I extend a congratulatory handshake to all those who can.
ReplyDelete...I wonder how much a plane ticket to New York costs...
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to attend but.... it's so far away and I'm brohohooke. *super sad face*
ReplyDeleteWill someone please, please, PLEEEASE do a video recording for us non-attenders. Share your recordings so that we may experience some of the sheer delight and awesomeness that will transpire over at the convention center. I would very VERY much appreciate it if we got some footage of the rally.
If I had the mony I would fly my flank over >.<
ReplyDeleteWe're trying to finagle livestreaming of the event.
ReplyDeleteAh crap, now I regret living in Europe even more!
ReplyDeleteOf course I would have to live just outside affordable means of getting there, and the time when friendly rides won't do it....
ReplyDeleteAh, it kills me to see these posts because I want to go so bad.
ReplyDeleteHope the livestream deal works out, it will be the next best thing I guess.
Ashleigh Ball will be there? OMG!!!
ReplyDeleteOne day I hope to meet her in person. Applejack is best pony!
Everybody take lots of pictures (especially of the voice actresses!) and shoot lots of video (especially of the VA interviews!) so that those of us who can't go (me) can still experience it from our bedrooms! (Or what/wherever)
ReplyDeleteHas Tabitha St. Germain attended any pony events before? There's youtube clips of all the VA's except for her...
ReplyDeleteWhich makes me sad since Rarity is best pony
@XyroTR1 Ideeeea! Bring your equipment along! Record at broNYcon! Just find some super high-speed internet to upload (I'm sure some NY bronies have high-speed lines). I would happily wait an hour for the episode if it meant somepony extra could attend broNYcon. ^.^
ReplyDeleteunrelatedly, Google Chrome has the following 'correct' spellings of "broNYcon":
bronchus
bronchial
bronchi
bronzing
...I live in Canada.
ReplyDeleteTHE KNIFE HAS BEEN TWISTED
I don't know why everyone always assumes the worst in their fellow Bronies.
ReplyDeleteLike the Ashleigh Ball youtube video, where there was a perfectly nice encounter and ppl made comments about how she was creeped out.
She clearly isn't creeped out by Bronies since she's attending the convention. I wish people wouldn't get so paranoid.
Yeah there was that unfortunate incident with Andrea Libman panel but that proabably wasn't a brony asking.
@Eric
ReplyDeleteIn the iTunes interview Seth posted a a couple of weeks ago Tabitha noted she doesn't attend conventions. Which is sad, but that interview was years ago so maybe she changed her mind.
I wanted to do everything to be there especially with the voice behind my favorite pony Applejack.
ReplyDeleteAshleigh? the VA that strained her vocal cords? If so, I hope this means she's better.
ReplyDelete@Purple Tinker
ReplyDeleteA historic moment, and hopefully a game changer for North Korea.
You put the wrong pony in the picture. The correct one is, of course, Rainbow Dash, the only pony to ever pull off two sonic rainbooms and an atomic rainbomb.
ReplyDeleteThe more i hear about this convention, the more i wish it was possible for me to go.... =(
ReplyDeleteMan I want to go to this so bad :(
ReplyDeleteNah, I love Applejack as a DJ.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I have to live half a world away from all the awesome things to happen? :( I can only hope someone will livestream this.
ReplyDeleteNooooo why dö I live in Sweden :'(
ReplyDelete*do
ReplyDelete@Eric
ReplyDeleteAccording to Voiceprint with Trevor Devall back in March of 2008, when Tabitha St. Germain was Trevor's guest, Tabitha didn't seem interested in doing the convention thing.
It's a shame, really, because I think she's hilarious. Seriously, look up the podcast. She's very silly (which is awesome). :D
I wish I didn't have to do an international flight to reach NY. I want to go so badly T_T
ReplyDelete...Damn
ReplyDeleteAustralia.. Y U NO IN NEW YORK?!
So much win, so far away...
ReplyDeleteSome pony please stream this for those who can't make it. I'd love to see one of the bigger meetups.
ReplyDelete@ShortymainiaWhere you from? We probably have people coming from there who you could carpool with.
ReplyDeleteGetting there early the day before to site see, hoping to make a trip to Rockefeller Center.
ReplyDeleteBut but most of the animators and voice actors are based right here in Vancouver, Canada....why can't we ever get a convention like BroNYCon? =( oh well I guess I'll have to wait for it on Youtube.
ReplyDeleteThe BroNYCon will be one of the most anticipated show for the My little Pony fans since July's Comic Con 2011. I Can't wait for the actual BroNYCon to happen in January!!!! ^_^
ReplyDelete@AuroraDawn Hey, fellow Albertan! Yeah, I'm not going for the same reasons. Travel to the US in general is prohibitive, never mind also adding in traveling across the continent.:(
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be so huge. How I wish Twilight Sparkle had taught me that teleport spell last time I visited T_T
ReplyDeleteTo anyone going to BronyCon, please see if you can request Nicole Oliver, Andrea Libman and Ashleigh Ball to have Princess Celestia pull a light hearted prank on Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
ReplyDelete@Purple Tinker
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I still have to send it to the YouTubes, which requires me to be stuck to my computer for a few hours.
to think I was almost disappointed that I couldn't go to MAGFest that weekend, this is totally gonna be way better
ReplyDeleteUgh....
ReplyDeleteThanks to this post, I have spent the last twenty-four hours in total agony. I love Ashleigh Ball, and my initial reaction was that I must go to BroNYcon to see her. Technically, I have the time and the money to do it.
However, the hotel and plane would cost me nearly a thousand bucks--no small change for me--plus I'd have to accommodate my work schedule around this thing. I literally couldn't sleep last night because I've been trying to figure out if it would be worth it.
After all that agonizing, I've decided that it's just too last-minute and too expensive for me. However, I'm holding out hope that Ashleigh Ball will return to a future BroNYcon.
Fellow bronies, please be kind to her. I hope she has a nice enough experience at January's BroNYcon that she will want to return another time.
@vulpix
ReplyDeleteTotally know how you feel. I'd have the option to stay with a few different friend in NYC, but I don't have a job at the moment and really shouldn't be spending a month's worth of rent on a plane ticket.. as much as I want to meet Ashleigh Ball.
I might possibly be at the con via Skype for the Epic Cupcake Time stuff, but that's not good enoooough ):
I´m from Argentina and I´m making some plans to travel to the USA just to go to this event. So USA get ready yourself because here I come.
