That woman you see on the right in the photograph above you is Tara Strong. She is Twilightlicious, and she is going to be at the Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles on May 12. With her will be Andrea Libman, Ashleigh Ball, and Cathy Weseluck, and if any of this sounds familiar, it's because this is a fantastically huge deal. Oh, and the other woman in this picture, with the lovely pink highlights? That's Meghan McCarthy. Y'know, the person who wrote things like Party of One, Lesson Zero, and A Canterlot Wedding. Yeah, her. She's going to be there too. Surprise!
In addition to autographs and the chance to watch some of your favorite episodes of Friendship is Magic on a much bigger screen than usual (an experience in and of itself, believe me!), There will be live readings taking place, and songs will be sung. To emphasize, twenty dollars will buy you a chance to sing songs with Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie and Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, and Spike. How there are any tickets left at all is a complete mystery to me.
If you live in or around LA, go to this event. If you live in any of the surrounding major cities like San Diego, go to this event. If you live anywhere in which it is even remotely feasible to make it down, go to this event. It is a chance, and an exceedingly rare chance at that, to meet all of this voice talent. And not just meet but interact with them, in a totally pony event. No conventions pulling their attention every which way, no concessions to be made for other productions, just you and them and My Little Pony Project 2012. If you don't go and you could have, you will kick yourself. Don't wait, don't risk it and try to buy tickets at the door. Get them now. Go right here and buy them. You will be glad that you did.
