Midwest Bronyfest Guest Announcement
Greetings everypony! Midwest Brony Fest in Kansas City is taking place on May 23-25, 2014. We are very excited to announce that White-Dove Creations will be making the return visit to Midwest Brony Fest in 2014. White-Dove Creations is a plush maker extraordinaire. She has been making plushies for the past three years. Sherry is married and a mother of two grown children, who are both artist in their own right. White-Dove is famous for making plushies for Lauren Faust and the voice actors of the show. She is also well known for her charity work. We’ve been told that those who attend her panel have a chance of winning one of her plushies!
Also joining us for MWBF 14 is White-Dove Creation’s son: Blackout-Comix. He became a brony near the end of season 1. After a commission to a sculptor went south, Brett decided that he was going to make his own sculpt, and so he did just that. After a bit and trial and error, he now makes a product that he is proud of. Be sure to check out Blackout-Comix during his panel, as he will be giving away for a couple of small sculptures.
More information about Midwest Brony Fest, including additional guests and registration information can be found on our website. http://mwbfkc.net.

GalaCon - BIZAAM Patch Note 3.1
Greetings!
A new year means a fresh start, fresh motivation and a fresh website. GalaCon’s online presence got refurbished all around for 2014 and can be found under http://www.galacon.eu now!
All basic information about the convention can be found there, with plenty more to follow!
Panel applications are open already, which you can find here. Other applications, such as volunteers and vendors, will be announced soon. And don’t worry, the beta in the url won’t stay long - We got a few more kinks to iron out, that’s all.
As previously stated in our AMA on Reddit, GalaCon will be on the 2nd and 3rd of August 2014 at the Forum am Schlosspark in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Look forward to a bigger convention area, meeting the wonderful Pixelkitties, and a few fun surprises!
Fun and surprises are guaranteed with our convention theme, too: The Golden Age of Gaming. Captain CanNi, Mage Sani and Soldier Wachmann will go on a wild ride through Ponygame Land on their quest for the elements of entertainment. Liking videogames won’t be mandatory to enjoy GalaCon in any shape or form, but if you do get inspired by our pixelated adventures, all the better!
Speaking of shapes, GalaCon’s staff team has seen a bit of a change. After being with us for 2 great years, Hunoldo and StaubRein sadly have to bid adieu to their staff positions. Their efforts with the volunteers contributed greatly to GalaCon being as good as it was, and for that we want to give them a big ol’ thanks! Whatever you’re up to next, you two, we wish you all the best!
We finally got GalaCon 2014 on the road - Hop on and enjoy the ride!
Best wishes,
Your GalaCon Team
