I've been lucky enough to see many live performances, some of which include: Prince, Winnipeg, 2011. Deep Purple, Winnipeg, 2011. Trans Siberian Orchestra, Winnipeg, every year since 2010. Joe Satriani, multiple locations (I won a tour contest), 2013. There's nothing quite like the feeling you get when you see your heroes in the flesh, so whenever a decent act rolls into Manitoba I try everything I can to get the opportunity to go see it.

Wow, what a thorough response. Thanks. If you don't mind my asking; which was your favorite episode? And which was the episode that helped finalize your title as a Pegasister?

Thank you very much for the response, it was very interesting. Especially your philosophical perspective on the show. The fact that you find something philosophically meaningful about it means there may be something so deep it's unexplainable, which IS a major selling point for me. I like it when a subject's value exceeds it's visible worth. What you're implying, though, is that I simply become a Brony to learn it's meaning. I don't see how this is possible. Perhaps you're saying that I should just watch the show and discover something personal? If so (even if otherwise), which episode that you would recommend to me has the most philosophical weight?

I like my coffee black. A lot of people may not; but that's the whole point of independent perception. In order to understand why I like my coffee black, I'd have to explain, in detail, it's appeal. Which is why I'm here. You see, I love art in all of it's forms (images, music, interactive experiences, TV shows) and recently I've been noticing that there is a large group of mature people who think that this show, which I've never watched an episode of in my life, is a piece of fine art. These people call themselves Bronies and the art they love is My Little Pony; Friendship Is Magic. Now, as previously mentioned, I don't watch the show. But art intrigues me. So I want you to show me it's appeal. I want you to show me why you love this show so much that it may be considered high art. I want you to convert me into a Brony, if you will. Tell me your favorite episodes, your favorite characters, your favorite moments. Tell me why you became a Brony and why you remain one. Tell me what this show has to offer a man like me. Convert me. This is a respectful thread. Please, no insults or blatant rudeness. I just want to talk ponies.

How did you find MLP Forums?: I typed the word Brony into Google and here I am. How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I haven't, yet. That's why I'm here. I'm a multi-instrumentalist, an amateur astronomer, a writer (just a hobby) and a lover of art in it's many forms.
