That sounds great! I'm glad you'll try to make it to one. If you'd want to share your Twitter, I'd like to see what happens.

Lucky in my opinion, I admire Australia a lot, but please, absolutely do attend one, at least once. It's an experience to be had. The fandom is great and being there with so many of the other ponies is pretty exciting. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I've seen how others felt about going to one and I feel like I was missing out and I was right. It's like a non-stop party and you get to do it around horse famous people from the show, the fandom and all the other con goers that are really sweet. It gives you a much better appreciation for the work that people put in for the fans and to the show. I was thinking too, if you can't go to one locally, which is much easier, but if you want to go to one all the way up in the States, there's not gonna be a quick and easy way to make that travel. It's gonna take a lot of work and planning. I would first plan essential stuff before trying anything else, like what are the regulations to travel over sees and you'll need to get a passport put together and other things are required. Like if you're traveling over seas under 18 I don't know if there are other documents you'll need. Knowing which con you want to go and figuring out how to get around locally, like by busses/taxies and what's in the area for food. After figuring all that out I'd give yourself an entire year to save up, any shorter time might be too difficult. So if there's a con a year from now, try aiming for that one. I'm guessing from where you are, in total, you want to save $250-$300 a month for a year to get around $3000. That's should be enough for travel, lodge, food and spending money. If you can get full time work, that'd be your best bet. Since you're young you could try two jobs for just a month, or two, just short term so you don't burn yourself out, cause it's tough on your body. Be aware that some jobs do frown on moonlighting, but with two jobs, you might get 1/3 of the way to savings in just a month, or two. So it'll be tough, but I think doable. When traveling, try to find the cheapest way you can find, which will take a little research too.

This thread is for roommates that would want to share a room reservation at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, held at the upcoming 2017 BABSCon for April 14-16.

Hello every pony! Sorry for any that replied to my older post for spots open, I haven't checked back in a while and just now noticed that the forum was cleared. Well, I'm still here and still looking for 3 other spots. I have a reservation already and I have attended BABSCon 2016 and went really well with the con itself and the past roommates. The situation is the same for what I'm looking for, so you know ahead of time, I'm looking for clean, quiet, respectful roommates and prospective people that are looking for the same. (side note: I do give areas in the room, like the bathroom and bedside areas a little wipe down with sanitary wipes when checking in, to reduce chances to pick up any bugs. Seemed to work last time. So some hygiene is appreciated.) I sleep early and get up early, no later than midnight and up at least by 8, so I would need other roommates that would prefer a good nights rest as well. Basically a room to be kept private between the roommates so to take a break, or nap if needed. So I wouldn't be looking for parties and prefer no drinks, smoking and things of the sort. My reservation is 4 nights, check-in being a day before the event and check-out by noon of the day after, so it would be the 13th-17th. I would need roommates that would be okay with staying all those days and nights, to split the costs evenly. The room will likely be on the higher floors, which seems to be much quieter and I'll try to get a convenient spot neat the elevators. I did have a bit of an issue with a con goer that wasn't prepared to share the room with 3 other guys, so please be aware of that and there is only two beds, two people will have to sleep on the floor. The hotel does not provide cots, so please be aware of that as well and have something comfortable to lay on.
