>>43659896no thanks
>>43659896The 4cc happens during the convention. If God's willing, we'll be able to host a watch party. Keeps your eyes peeled on the thread for the time and location.
>>43659896>>monkey paw curlsThere's also that brony expo in march. Sticking to Fresmare, I am going but it really feels like rolling the dice with it. On the one hand, yeah, their mascots really tell the type that are organizing the event, but at the same times there's at least two panels on their schedule that have some anon involvement so maybe they're cool? Also, their site only just added their code of conduct (thankfully nothing as cucked as that uk one) which is kinda wild for being so close to the date
I would rather go to Mootxico than ever step foot back in fucking California
>>43659896Why the fuck would you go to a convention literally DURING Halloween/NMN... unless...>are u guys going trick or treating?
>>43659958Hey, get off my fucking team you stuttering fucking parrot!
>>43659944My experience with FresMare is, they are being ran by faggots, but they are chill faggots who gives off chill pedophile vibe. And yes, looks like they might have anon involvements and it's kinda based when Baja has to disown them because some staffs were from chudcon or something. I dunno about BronyExpo tho.
>>43659944>>43660037I think theres up and downsides to both Fresmare and BronyExpoFresmare definitely seems more chill towards anons which is a huge plus, but BronyExpo definitely seems like it'll be a bit better put together since even though the Fresmare organizers have experience with meetups, theres times they seemed a bit in over their heads and it felt like they rushed a bit to have the con this yearThat being said, Fresno fucking sucks and the Fresmare hotel is in an even more empty part. I can personally vouch that BronyExpos location is much nicer, actually has lots of food around, and will be pretty damn safe given its 4 blocks from the police department, and its much easier and cheaper to fly into if you're too far to driveBasically BronyExpo seems like it'll be better in almost every way besides anon involvement and tolerance, but for Anons, thats at the very least a pretty even matchI'll be at both though since BronyExpo is local local for me
>>43660037Why does this faggot think he/she has had any authority over the years at all?
>>43659896>tuo li
>>43660601>>43659896Fres-Mare is about a 3 hour drive away from me, and the farthest I've ever drove is to San Jose for Pinkaboo's Neighem last year, safe to say I'll be going to the Brony Expo next year instead. If Fres-Mare wasn't so far from me, I'd consider going, but yea I have some plans for the Halloween weekend anyway so>>43660606me me me syndrome
>>43660636>3 hour driveI'm doing a 6 hour drive for it, then an 8 hour for brony expo. Mainly because they're the closest things to local pony conventions I've had since las pegasus unicon
>>43659896I don't think i've ever seen a giraffe OC before...
>>43659896>Convention>CaliforniaDouble cringe
Any anons interested in a mini bar crawl or something if there aren't really any parties or things to do at night? Could be Halloween or another nightWe'd have to uber given across town given that Fresno doesn't have much in terms of thing to do around the hotel, or anywhere for that matter, but I think it could be fun
>commieforniaSo a gay orgy then?
>>43661222Yeah faggot come to our gay orgy
>>43659896Another day I wake up and thank God with all my might that I have never, and will never, set foot in the State of California.
>>43660601I'm debating whether to go. I've never been to a ponycon, but this one is 20 min away from me. Besides that anon panel & possible 4cc watchparty, is there anything else you guys do all weekend? I have no friends to go with.
>>43662467Hang with friends, meet anons, go to panels, etcTheres plenty to do if you're willing to go out and meet peopleSince you're so close, I think its at least worth checking out
>>43662467Show up and post on the thread, faggot. We'll meet you.
>>43662467May as well for a day just to see what's up. Since they're a first time coming their badges are cheap as hell
>>43662467>He lives in CaliforniaI'm sorry for your loss
>>43659896That's an awfully small necc for a giraffe, I shall boycott this convention until that mistake is fixed not that I could afford to go anyways
>>43662937Ah so you don't really need to stay at the con all day. My only con experience is AX which is huge, so smaller cons are new to me.
>>43659896I don't have any high expectations for this con, but could be cozy. >>43659922Definitely will be watching.
>>43662467>I'm debating whether to go. I've never been to a ponycon, but this one is 20 min away from meWhat the fuck anon? I'd kill to have a ponycon 20 minutes away from my place. Just go!
I'm visiting California from Europe right now and got a ticket in case I get a chance to visit and see what it's all about. Not expecting much either which is why I will probably only visit briefly.
>>43662467If you don't wanna drop money for a badge, you could swing by during the night to see if there are any parties going on.
I'm having an ESL moment. So tickets can only be picked up Thursday evening? Is it possible to pick it up on Friday?
>>43665127I think it's an ESL moment on the part of whoever put this on the website. You're able to get a badge any day of the con.
>>43661125Any cigar lounge nearby?
I'm gonna bring a bunch of anon mask to FresMare along with some pins. If you like one, this is your chance to get it without shipping.https://www.equestriasportings.com/products/prod_UlII8wuKgGAAFe
>>43665127Yes, you should be able to pick up or purchase badges any day of the weekend. Thursday evening is JUST for pick up, not purchasing.
>>43665503Theres one, but its the exact opposite side of town
Soon
Starting the drive. Hope I don't die from sharing the road with more californians than ever before
I would go but I don't want to.
On my way down from the bay and man I forgot how much the central valley fucking sucks
i forgot its this weekend lultoo bad i have a busy week
Anon pool
>>43667348The venue looks uh...aged...
>>43666754Can't wait to see them in person!
>>43661080For as vicious about conventions as you are, you seemingly never attack the individual people who go to them but rather the organizers, the events, and the notable namefags therein. The run-of-the-mill Anon board user who goes to these things, are they victims, or culpable accessories to the crime? Does it revoke their board user status, even if they do engage with it frequently? I am so intrigued by such a visceral hatred.
>>43659896This might be the most scuffed location for a con ever. Everything smells of stale cigarettes and mothballs
>>43666754Made it, and only saw one rv almost get sideswiped by an 18 wheeler on the way here. I'm not kidding, it was nuts
>>43667821I have no interest in the con but I saw that hotel room and wished I was there. I think I have hotel autism. I hope somehow this con isn't complete furshit and has at least some anons who can make it worth checking out next year.
>>43667577>For as vicious about conventions as you are, you seemingly never attack the individual people who go to themYou haven't been paying attention then.
Anyone up to anything tonight? I’m bored
>>43668148Seconding this
>>43668148I'm probably just going to check in to pick up badges.
>>43668148LET'S HAVE UNPROTECTED GAY SEX IN THE HOTEL ROOM!
>>43668148Anyone interested in playing some pony beatsaber. Brought my frame and loaded some pony songs onto it before coming
>>43668148Looks like I'm waiting for pre-reg to be up and running. Still
>>43668392Damn still? How many ppl are waiting?
>>43668466They got one station running now. Apparently they're having trouble with the printers connecting to the wifi or something
>>43668148Finally out of check in, anyone want to grab food?
>>43668775sorry I just ate and also I am at home and not going to fresno
>>43668775I made the mistake of eating a veggie calzone in my room and now the smell is stuck
>>43668775Any specific place in mind or have you already gotten something
>>43668962Just did a Taco Bell (it's like a mile away) run sorry
>Cons aren't for normalfags>Anyways who wants to hit up a restaurant?So which is it?
>>43667954any con in cali is going to be full of furfags nonny
Party in 269 bros
>>43669164This party any good?
Never seen a bottle opener in a hotel room bathroom before.
>>43669204How else are you supposed to deal with being in Fresno other heavy drinking
I really wanna go. Damn it.
>>43665530Hello,Some people have emailed me for the masks.My room is 205 and I will probably be there after the opening ceremony. Having breakfast ATM
>>43665530>>43670104I bought some masks during Mare Fair, and my feedback is that the eye holes stretches a bit funnily when you actually put it on, coupled with the white inner fabric outline, it gives you chink eyes. I'm sure you'd see what I'm talking about if you put it on. And the shade of green is a bit too dark, I think.But otherwise it's decent. The eye meshes was a brilliant idea. You can actually see shit.
>>43670156The shade is brighter this time. Left is the new batch, right is the PTS mask it's modelled after.The eyeholes are a little small, the chinks left a bunch of materials around the stitching tho so you can just bore it out a little
Sketchbook swap was fun
>>43659922Same, I'll be attending.
4chan cup watch party at 205 tomorrow.BYOB

>>43671386I got some whiskey in 223, just chilling for a bit. Stop by if you want.
>>43671415>>43671425Hmm....which room should I go?
So... Has this con actually been worth going to or anything? Think we saw more from the seaquestria thread by this point.
>>43671722haha maybe the anons are just having too much fun and aren't able to post in the thread haha right?
>>43671722I think I'd describe it as quaint so far. About on par with the other first time cons I've been to back home. Talked to some cool people tho so day one's been good in my book, unless it goes to shit within the next three hours
>>43671891This
Big things happening at the anon panel
man this con had 0 advertising, would have went if i known about it over mare fair kek
>>43672140https://mlpcon.info/
>>43672090I never got to ask my question; Does mare?
That old lady yelling at the receptionist was funny.
>>43670924This is embarrasing but can somebody bring an HDMI cable when you come to the watch party? I don't have one and the front desk wouldn't give me one
>>43672415I gotcha
>>43672156I don't think this counts as advertising
>>43672415I can drop it off now if you still need it
>>43672424>>43673276Thanks, we have a cable now1 more hour till the game
>>43673426We were 3 minutes behind and missed getting scored on. Pack it up, it's so over

>>43674741>ummm you’re a newfagI’ve figured out how to mobile post without my images being rotated upside down or sideways retard, figure it out.>>43674780>horsecock dildo>daki in the bathtubanon what exactly have you been doing?

Art jammin' it
Dude someone in the room above me is getting fucked hardI’m on the first floor and the ceiling/second level floor is really thin so you can hear people walking and stuff. I’m trying to take a nap and I can loudly hear the bed loudly rocking, hitting against the wall, and squeaking

The Blackwind dudes have been the best act of the concert (that I've seen)
Any room parties happening before I decide to knock out for the night?
>>43675422213 you fat fren :)
Cryptid sightings in 269
Did the party at 213 end? Any late night parties still going on to crash at?
Good night, Fresmare
i still got roughly half a bottle of bacardi and half a case of coke for any festivities tonight/tomorrowleaving after closing ceremonies though so get it while it's hot
>>43675561Day drinking at fresmare is gonna be a new low
>>43675561Where at
>>43676379tattoo panel, guy with the bunny earsroommates have pillaged the coke supplies so we die like men
>>43676402I see you, i im dressed like a fed
This was fun. Met some cool people, everyone got to meet the fillies. Hope this gets another year
Ok which one of you lost this?Lost n Found is closing up.If you can come up and identify the container of these items when these were found, we'll give it to you
>>43676886Had a blast as well, I'll definitely try to come next year if it does happen.
Anyone doing anything tonight?
>>43676924that's winter light's
The modest fresmare haul
>>43659896I can't believe I didn't find out about this shit until just now.... I fucking live here...God fucking hates me...
>>43679190There's always next year, Anon. I hope, anyway. I had to leave before ending ceremonies so I don't know if they indicated that there'd be another next year
>>43679190
>>43675288Thanks Anon!~BlackWind
>>43670599Yooo thanks for uploading this! It's my art! I just forgot take a photo of it afterwards
>>43659896Fresmare local (20 min away). Was a first for me, had lot's of fun. Will come again, Shame I found this thread late. Would have met up with some of you. Next year!
>>43673995SOVL
Did anyone stay for closing ceremonies, and if so can you give a cliffnotes? Any word if they think doing another next year is viable?
216 badges printed, counts staff, musicians and vendors, duplicates not removed so actual attendance is lower, around 200 or so people sounds about right.Charity auction raised $7732 total.There was mention of doing it again but nothing was actually confirmed.Closing ceremonies was mostly the usual circlejerking of thank yous but some admitedly sweet moments, they took a moment to record a video with the audience for ashley. Elley Ray also did a bunch of shenanigans with the results of a spider hunt she did, was pretty cringe ngl.Energy on the room was pretty great overall, you could tell people had a good time.
>>43679594>around 200 or soHuh, my guess of about 250 wasn't far off then. Glad for them, and glad most everyone enjoyed it (which I hope includes the dude who roomed across from me who had a very heated moment with his room keycard on night 2)
>>43679190rip anon
>>43679634Dude those keycards were fucked. I had to get a total of 14 of them between me and my roommates over the course of the con
>>43681391User error
>>43681391I definitely lucked out on that front. Didn't have any issues with the cards beyond nearly forgetting to take at least one with me when I left the room
>>43681763For about half of them, I'd get them fresh directly from the front desk, they work to unlock the outside gates and doors, and then they would not work for my room while continuing to work for the gatesAnother time I left two fresh cards on the wooden desk, completely away from both each other and any electronics, and when I woke up in the morning, one had stopped workingI can promise it was definitely not user error
>>43679594>Elley Ray also did a bunch of shenanigans with the results of a spider hunt she did, was pretty cringe nglNigga she promised (or joked) about giving the spider hunt participant buzzball from the gas station so that's kinda based.
My target is in sight. Move back to page 1
>>43679594I had fun being one of the 4 schmucks that showed up sunday only
>>43683730I was very glad that I pushed last minute for the sunday discount when I saw you folks registering My only regret about FresMare was not having the time to go to the room parties, the one I joined immediately went to the concert after I entered the room kekWe'll be sending a feedback email sometime early next week, I ask you to please roast us or else we'll send Sequoia to pay you a visit.
>>43679190wtf is wrong with you lmao
>>43683865The roast will be heavy, i didn't get any sequoia merch and im still salty about it
>>43679190>He lives in FresnoYeah, God DOES hate you!
This is the Trotcon promised to us 3000 years ago
Got some good shit at the charity auction
>>43684586Can you get this awful shit out of the way I'm trying to see what good shit you bought at the auction
