BABScon 2016
Hello everypony, long time no post!
So, this year -- I got to attend BABScon! (like, in the title ^^' heh, heh ... I'm tired (up late last night) -- bear with me o.o ). I've gotten to see a whole bunch of awesome stuff (art, plushies (except for the Luna one I wanted ), and all the other cool trinkets ).
So, I figured that I would relate my experiences -- starting with:
=== Getting to BABS===
So, being that I live one state away from Cali, and being that I didn't want to go through a hassle or spend too much on transportation ('cuz that's muh Vender Hall moneys ), I decided to go with Greyhound ... I'll let you think of that how you will ( xD ). Surprisingly, I didn't have any issue on GH -- the REAL FUN began when I got to experience the San Francisco BART system...
Oh. My. Celestia. O.O First of all, I got to cart my luggage down the (at-the-time mildly warm) SF streets (towards the Embarcadero). Then I went down in a (rather musty ) elevator to the underground terminal, where the temperature increased slightly.
Now, where I'm living, "we ain't got no fancy trains like that", so -- fun stuff. I got a bit lost in the system, got on the wrong train, wandered the SFO a bit and not really feeling it (although, when I got to the hotel, it was such a relief xD ).
===The Hotel===
I must say, the Hyatt is quite lovely (even though I spent a little more money than I would have liked to ... what can you do?) The hotel staff was very friendly, and informative (unlike those people who work at the airport -- I think those people are dead inside ).
Even though this was my first year, I couldn't help but notice the crowds of bronies -- quite a lot of people.
The con staffers were quite awesome as well -- very friendly, very on point.
===PONY UP!===
I attended:
- the opening ceremony (pretty funny, I must admit)
- the Costuming On A Budget event
- the Poniverse panel
- the vendor hall
- My Little LGBTQ (Jenn Blake is awesome o.o )
- the vendor hall

- the Cosplay contest
- the vendor hall (I think there's a pattern going on right here)
- the Guest of Honor Meet and Greet (got to talk with Denny Lu -- very humble, very kind (it was his first convention too xD ))
- the FurCon room on the second floor (sorry again for drawsing that cringe-inducing thing on the thing, I don't do well on windows xD )
- a bit of NEIGHhem
- Cards Against Humanity ('til 2 AM xD )
- Konichiwa! Voice-sama!
(now currently in my room writing this stuff )
===Overall===
My opinion on the experience has got to be a resounding ... AWESOME!! XD
