I got my pass within an hour of seeing that the announcement that passes were being sold went up on Facebook.
I went a little crazy this year and got the Patron level and a ticket to the VIP dinner. Last year was so awesome, I cannot wait until this year's con. I still need to figure out the hotel room though, My friend said he'd come with and split a hotel room, but who knows.
Though now I've also purchased my pass for BronyExpo in Edmonton, so I've got two Brony conventions to look forward to this summer. I'm just a little excited, yes.
