TrotCon Musician Application Deadline Change!
We had a great time at TrotCon 2013 with Eurobeat Brony, F3nning and many, many more taking our stage during Saturday night's rave -- so much so that, of course, we decided to do it all over again for 2014 -- adding a night of music in the process.
We had a great time at TrotCon 2013 with Eurobeat Brony, F3nning and many, many more taking our stage during Saturday night's rave -- so much so that, of course, we decided to do it all over again for 2014 -- adding a night of music in the process.
However, even though we've increased the performance slots available at TrotCon, we've still hit our limit -- and then some! -- and we still have a little less than three months to go before our original musician application deadline of April 26. As a result, we are going to be closing musician applications for TrotCon 2014 a few months early.
The new deadline to submit musician applications will be Feb. 6 at 6 p.m. ET. -- in other words, a week from this Thursday. After that, we'll be closing submissions and beginning the simultaneously exciting and harrowing process of narrowing down our applicants to a nice, sound lineup. By closing applications early, we're hopeful this will also allow a more convenient window of time for selected musicians to make travel arrangements to Columbus, Ohio, in June, if and when they are chosen.
All other applications -- panelists, artists and staff -- will remain with their original deadlines, unless otherwise specified in the future.
Want to apply to be a musician for TrotCon? Anyone can, whether you have some talent dropping the wubs, tickling the ivories or rocking the heck out of that kazoo. All we need is some basic information and a URL linking to a sample of your tunes -- be it on Soundcloud, YouTube or otherwise. Check out the application here (http://trotcon.net/
TrotCon will be held June 20-22, 2014, at the Sheraton Columbus at Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio.
Lunafest 2014 announced!
After two successful years Luanfest goes in its third round. Bigger then ever.
