These things from the Drawfriend earlier remind me of Magic the Gathering monsters for some reason. I can't get enough of them.
Onward to roundup stuff! It's a huge one tonight. Head down below to check it out.

Moonrise Auditions - Symphonic Metal Opera/Album
Copy Paste:
Are you a singer? Are you interested in participating in a symphonic metal opera about miniature equines? I'm currently writing a suite of songs about the rise and fall of Nightmare Moon, 1000 years ago, and I'm looking for a few vocalists to help me out.
Recruitment Video
I've released a preview of the Prelude, the first part of the opera, which you can listen to here.
I'm looking for three soloists: Celestia, Luna, and a Narrator (most probably a male voice). If you're interested in auditiong for a solo part, read this.
I'm also looking for a full SATB chorus, in a manner similar to Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir. If you're interested in being part of the chorus, read this.
As well as singers, I'm also looking for a lyricist - I can write lyrics, but not particularly well, and the lyrics will be kind of important here (!), more information here.
I'll be accepting auditions until September 21st. Thankyou for your attention, and I hope to hear all your wonderful auditions soon!
My Little Musical Recruiting

Bergen Meetup
Since Norwegian cinema did not feature Equestria Girls we figured that as soon as the movie came out on Blue Ray we would rent a movie theater and hold our own screening.
Coming up to the even most of us tried our best to avoid all EQG related material and other spoilers, which was rather hard when you want to keep an eye on the fandom but finally the day had come.
