  1. Well, it's been five or six years since I last posted here regularly, and I don't really do forums anymore. A lot has changed since 2013. For those of you that manage to see this (and still care about me, for some reason), I'm mostly on Facebook now (https://www.facebook.com/Senn555) and occasionally on Discord and Twitter - but even then I only lurk a majority of the time and don't comment / post. Feel free to follow but don't expect me to necessarily follow you back.

  2. Edit: No longer needed. Thanks to those who responded.
  3. Daniel Ingram posted this on his Twitter earlier today: "If there were a MLP soundtrack being released for Seasons 1 & 2, you might not have long to wait." https://twitter.com/dannyimusic/status/398556847843454976 It's about time this materialized - though I'm unsure whether to be excited or not until more details surface. Really hoping it's something the fans will actually want, rather than a hastily-slapped together compilation of just the TV versions of the songs for a quick cash-in for Hasbro. I also hope it contains a good chunk / highlights of the score by William Anderson and Kristopher Gee. Excerpt from a post I made here roughly 16 months ago: Daniel says he does not know anything about Hasbro releasing a soundtrack album for MLP:FiM - or any other TV show / movie he's written songs / music for. He said two different mixes of all of his songs take place in post production - one mix in 5.1 surround that is heard in the final product of the episode, and another mix in stereo that sounds radically different and is meant to be used and heard only in case a soundtrack CD ever materializes. He writes a lot of material that ends up being cut out for the final versions heard in the episodes*, and the mixes made for a possible forthcoming soundtrack album apparently sound far better than their TV counterparts. If a soundtrack CD ever does come out professionally (one that does not slap all of the TV mixes of the songs together as a means of a quick cash-in), not only will a number of songs be heard in full as they were written and intended to be heard by Daniel, but their overall sound will be greatly improved and heard like never before. *An example of this was the "Piggy Dance" song in season 2, episode 13, "Baby Cakes". It was originally written for the season 1 finale episode but it was cut out due to time constraints. http://mlpforums.com/topic/26980-senn555s-pony-escapades-and-meetups/
  4. Having seen some of season 3's episodes, I can vouch for the new Pound Puppies as being very well done. The season 3 premiere had Tara Strong doing a guest voice, as well as J.K. Simmons basically doing his J. Jonah Jameson role from the Spider-Man movies. This review does a better job explaining than I could: http://www.toonzone.net/2013/05/review-the-hub-june-premieres-pound-puppies-shezow-aquabats-super-show-wizards-aliens/ Being in Canada, however, I find it really difficult to get access to the series, but I was told that I can watch all three seasons on Netflix Canada, so... I better get an account there. >.> Haven't picked up the show in a while (or *any* show for that matter; I've been too damn busy), but I don't want to see it get canned either. Show your support if you can, please!

  19. Good news and bad news from us pony folk at BronyCAN. The bad news first: Two of our previously announced performing artists - DJ Midli and Brony Beamshows - are unfortunately no longer set to perform at our convention due to unforeseen circumstances. We are sad to see them go; however, we wish both of them nothing but the best with their future endeavors! The good news - and we know y'all are used to this by now - is that we are kicking off another wave of fandom guests! BronyCAN is proud to announce: Rina-chan! Forest Rain! Bejoty! Automatic Jack! DJStrachAttack! Rina-chan is a voice actress, singer, and content creator in the MLP community. She is best known for her fanwork as Twilight Sparkle in the PONY.MOV series and Double Rainboom, and as Colgate/Minuette in the Brushie Song and Toothpaste Cannon videos. She has collaborated to sing with a variety of brony musicians. She also works professionally as a voice actress in anime (Accel World, Blue Exorcist, Lagrange) and video games (Skullgirls, Castle Crashers, Mugen Souls.) YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/MeleePrincess Forest Rain has been creating Brony music since January 2012. His work ranges from alternative, rock, and pop/punk to orchestral and pop. He is involved in several community projects, and was the creator and producer of "The Massive Smile Project". He is currently working as a songwriter on the fan-made feature-length film: "MLP:FiM Journey of the Spark". YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/PutTrustInFate Hailing from Issaquah, WA, Bejoty is a frightening cross between musician, coder, gamer, and event planner. Originally the executive director of Everfree Northwest, he writes and composes original pony tunes as well. Only recently introduced to the music scene, his genre of choice is a mash between contemporary folk and acoustic jazz guitar styles. Bejoty has just completed his first national tour with Musiquestria, not only as the opening musician but also as the road manager of the tour. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/BejotyGames A brony since December 2011, Automatic Jack first found his way into the show through a Game Informer article and has never looked back since the first episode. Though he’s made electronic music and been a drummer for 16 years, currently performing with ‘Jade Grenade’, his work first came to the fandom’s attention with the remix of Wooden Toaster’s ‘Pinkie’s Lie’. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Automat1cJack DJStrachAttack is a 20-year-old electronic Brony musician and artist out of Calgary, Alberta. A newcomer to the scene, he produces a wide range of electronic music, including Techno, EDM and Dubstep. A couple of his better-known tracks include ‘Stitching It Together’ and ‘ShySt3p’. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/DJStrachAttack Additionally, the North Equestrian Summer Sun album has now been released and is available for purchase and listening! All sales of this album go towards the travel and lodging expenses of our musicians performing at BronyCAN, so please support them! http://bronycan.bandcamp.com/album/north-equestrian-summer-sun-album -- We would like to remind everyone that those interested in registering for BronyCAN may do so via our website.

  20. Despite an earlier posting, we've extended our arrangement with the hotel, thus the "BRONYCAN" discount code is still in effect! The code, along with all freebies - gift basket, contest entry, airport shuttle, WiFi, parking - will remain in effect at least up until con. Also, if you're coming to our con from the United States, we think these two pages may help you out with your planning: http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Travel-g153339-s602/Canada:Crossing.The.Border.html http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Travel-g153339-s601/Canada:Banks.And.Money.html
  21. If one were to inquire "What could possibly be better than ponies?", then BronyCAN would likely return the answer "SHINY PONIES!". As of today, BronyCAN is working with Force Start Comedy to bring attendees convention exclusive deals that can't be found anywhere else! The Funko POP! metallic Fluttershy and Chrome Metallic Derpy Vinyl Figure is now available for pre-order, and will be delivered as soon as they are produced between November and December. Is that all? Not by a long shot! The yet-unreleased Funko POP! Metallic Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle are also available for pre-order. Attendees to BronyCAN will be the first to take these shiny ponies home before they are made available to anyone else. Pre-orders will be taken by Force Start Comedy at the link below, and limited quantities of the Metallic Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle will be available for sale at BronyCAN. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mqlQYRh1PrrEoaulAK3CX5TUHycIq0wRasTitm5AZQw/viewform
  22. Just giving y'all a reminder that con book submissions are due on July 28th at 11:59 PM Pacific. That's exactly three days from now; likewise, graphics for your ad must be in by August 4th at 11:59 PM Pacific. http://bronycan.com/advertise.html Also a reminder that our special discount rate of $129 per room night (using code "BRONYCAN") expires on August 3rd. After that date the price on a hotel room will jump significantly, and you will not be eligible to receive freebies (a free gift basket of pony merch, an entry into our Hotel Booking Draw, and free Wi-Fi, airport shuttle, and parking), so you may wish to reserve your room now if you haven't done so yet: http://bronycan.com/hotel.html Lastly, our panel submission deadline has been extended to August 2nd. If you submitted your idea to us through e-mail prior to July 2013 it will not be accepted. Please view this spreadsheet for dates and times available and then submit to us here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Bij8vkEjLn3kUn3Z1yBLfVHLa8agdqcJRCB-Gh1E9ak/viewform
  23. For those of you in the east unable to attend BronyCAN, there is CANterlot being set up in Toronto as well as TROTtawa, both happening in November. Just FYI.
  24. Another Air Canada flight sale is happening now! There's five days to book a discounted flight to Vancouver, just five minutes away from our convention: http://www.aircanada.com/en/offers/air/websaver_fares/websaver_fares.html#YVR-CA3
