Ravinia with Discord

[Tyroq 344]

Hey Everypony! A while back on EQD there was a http://www.equestria...should-go.htmlpost about John DeLancie calling out all midwest bronies to meetup in Chicago to hear him narrate The Magic Flute, Mozart's only opera. Well I got to go today. It was a long drive from my home in Iowa, but well worth it! We had a huge turnout, and we got to meet John in person after the show. It was awesome!

 

Some pics of our experience... Cause everyone loves pics!

There are two Fluttershys in this first pic... can you spot them both?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and finally the moment has arrived... for me to [meet the king of chaos]!c

Those are some fantastic pics :3 Looks like a great day.

I was at thursday show but it sucks that I couldn't go today but I did get a pic with Mr. De Lancie however its from my friends Iphone. Sorry if the quality isn't good and the cyborg eyes but better than nothing I guess.

Cyborg eyes are the best eyes... just ask Sweetiebot (or Finesthour!)

 

Funny thing is, when my alarm went off at 6:30 this morning I honestly thought about hitting the snooze and going back to sleep. I hate getting up early to travel. But I'm so glad I didn't.

[thor9356 540]

Lol it was the opposite for me. I had to get up at 6:30 this morning to go to work and I was thinking about hitting the snooze button myself.

Yay! Real bronies that aren't my brother! (No offense to him), lol. Anyway, looks really fun to me. Hope you enjoyed yourself!

[thor9356 540]

I know I did and it was great seeing other bronies there too. Plus it was the first brony meetup that i've been to before so it was worth it! Still planning on saving up to go to BroNYcon. Oh and I remember John saying that he was hoping and planning to get a bronycon at the Ravinia park after thursday's show. I really hope that happens cause it would be easier on my travel budget.

Awesome! My topic here got featured on EQD for the nightly roundup. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/08/nightly-roundup-413.html#more Part of the Ravinia section highlights.

Oh man, I am so jelly right now! He's in Chicago!!! That's only like two hours from where I live!!! *sigh* But, sadly, with college quickly approaching, and my sister heading off tomorrow, I will be unable to go. I'm happy for you though! That sounds like it was awesome! Not just getting to meet John DeLancie, but getting to hear him narrate Mozart's "The Magic Flute"?!?! Sounds awesome to me!!! Glad you had fun!!!

[thor9356 540]

So this got posted in the Nightly Round-up on EQD. Obvious line to say here but I think those went just became 20% cooler lol.

Update! I've uploaded 3 videos from the event to my youtube channel. They're short, just a taste of what it was like, but better than nothing and a chance to hear John DeLancie narrating.

 

I would have added them to the OP but apparently it was too full to embed anything more.

 

Also, apparently there's something wrong with the site here, it won't let me embed the 2nd video. Says I've uploaded too many media already. Like 3 links to youtube is too many somehow. So you'll just have to click the link. http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png
