Good evening everypony (at least evening to those of us in the Western Hemisphere)! Not much of a blog for ya'll tonight, but I just wanted to give you all a quick explanation as to why I will be absent for the next couple of days. Shocking as it may sound, I, the Batbrony, one of the biggest superhero-obsessed members of the forums, will be missing the premiere of "Power Ponies" tomorrow *cue the inevitable forum-wide gasp*. Now, in most instances I would consider this an unthinkable sacrilege, BUT... this is different. My mother, sister, and I will be embarking tomorrow on a 2-day trip to Wisconsin to the heart of Packer country itself, Green Bay! There, we will be watching our beloved NFL team, the Green Bay Packers, playing the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in the most majestic stadium in the country, Lambeau Field itself!!! We've never been to a Packers game before (even though we have visited Lambeau Field a couple times in the summer, and even the Packers training camp one year), and we've been planning this trip for over a year. On top of that, the Packers are playing a do-or-die game with their playoff hopes on the line. They've got to win their next two games or else they most certainly will not go to the playoffs.

So basically this'll be Lambeau Field this weekend, and NOT just because our playoff hopes are on the line!

Needless to say, this should prove to be amazing and epic, and it's one of the few things I'd be willing to miss a superhero-themed MLP episode for in all the world! Now, that said, we will be driving back on Monday, and should be back late afternoon or early evening, so I should be able to watch "Power Ponies" then, and yes, I will most certainly be cranking out my usual review in both the episode thread as well as my own blog. Sure I'm sad that I won't be getting to experience the epicness that this premiere should prove to be live with all you guys, but I know that this is going to be an amazing trip, and I don't want any of ya'll to wonder where I've gone in my absence (since I'm sure my absence will raise more than a few eyebrows given the content of this episode ). I will be back everypony, just in a couple of days, and I can't wait to share in the awesomeness of "Power Ponies" with ya'll!!! Hope ya'll enjoy the episode and have a great weekend; me, I'll be freezing my plot off in God's country with tens of thousands of fellow cheeseheads watching the greatest football team in the world. GO PACK GO!!!
