We didn't end up going to the Meet and Greet like I said I would, since my brother didn't really want to and I didn't feel like arguing with him... But, that's okay, because we met you guys in line anyways (and if we hadn't, I would've gone to the Meet and Greet anyways without my brother to make sure I met you since I said I'd see you there), so it's no problem.
SO HERE'S HOW MY FIRST DAY WENT:
So after registration we checked out the vendor's hall (since it was open by that time, having taken us about an hour and a half of being in the line up to get registered; I'm not complaining though, the time seemed to go by quickly), bought some stuff, and then went out for lunch (to the food court at the mall nearby, which we walked to), got back, checked out the vendor's hall again, bought some more stuff, and then attended the "Ponies on the Internet" panel, where we watched Cloudbolt and Feld0 speak about their experiences of doing pony-related things online (I was very excited to see Feld0, since he created this wonderful site ). After this we attended the Brent Hodges panel on his documentary "A Brony Tale" (I also bought a copy of the DVD ), stayed in the same room for the Opening Ceremonies, drove to Subway for dinner (we could've walked, but it was a little cold out, plus we just didn't feel like walking), got back for the panel hosted by Jim Miller and Jayson Thiessen (and, as it turned out, joined by Stephanie Mahoney), which was pretty cool. Nicole Oliver was there too, just watching in the front row, except at one point a question was asked that pertained to voice actors, so she got up and said some stuff about it, so that was pretty cool. And then we went to the concert, which goes till 11:30 except that we left at around 9:30.
So overall, 'twas a fun day, filled with much ponies, very friendly people, and my buying WAY more merch than my mom was pleased at when I got home (I think it was worth it, though). A lot of people complemented us on our hats, so that's nice.
Oh really? What did you buy?
Not Saturday?
Unfortunately, I did not notice an anti-bullying shirt-wearing person... but if you do see me, feel free to introduce yourself if you want! Just mention you are Aquaryan so I know it's you. And I'm the one with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy clipped to the sides of my hat. If you introduce yourself as Aquaryan to the guy with Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie clipped to the sides of his hat, he won't have any clue who you are, though I'm sure he'd be friendly enough.
Luckyyyyy.....
Haha, sounds perfectly normal.
It was AWESOME. But the next days are gonna be even MORE awesome because there'll be even more awesome panels to attend, including quite a few that I'm really looking forward to. Gonna be a great weekend .
