Confucius 194 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 (edited) Hey Everypony! As we all know Bronycon 2015 will be underway Friday, August 7th. Many lucky and great people I know are going but at the same time there are many who cannot. I for one have an anti brony family who banned me from merch and anything pony related. I was wondering for those of you not going, what is keeping you from attending? Edited August 7, 2015 by SergeantShy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,854 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 A whole lot of IRL adult things hampered my initial plans to attend. Illness, work, and a death in the family basically made it nearly impossible this year. I am looking forward to BABSCon though. And 2016 will happen come hell or high water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMT Brony 65 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I have no extra bits to spare at this current juncture of time. Why doesn't your family like the brony merch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,632 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I pretty much cannot attend any con at this point. No extra money, no transportation, and I am always extremely introverted. Combine all of those together and you get...me not going to cons anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard User 2,127 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I probably would have been able to go, but I have/had to return to university a few weeks early to do my RA training. It starts Saturday night...bleh. Maybe I should've gone anyway, at least for Friday. As for future cons, I am tentatively planning on attending Everfree Northwest and/or BabsCon the next time those two roll around. 1 oOo RIP Forums Writing Centre ;_; oOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailTrixie 239 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 Closet brony, and even if people did know about it my family doesn't have the money... One day I'd like to attend BronyCon, like when I'm an adult or something, but by that time I fear that MLP and the pony fandom will be dead and there won't be a BronyCon... So it looks like I'll never get to go 1 | Original Sig > | Join CTaM! | She, the magnificent Trixie, A mare among mares! She, paragon of ponies, With wand and with rope!

Attack of the Pwns 894 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I'm not going cause I'm living with family, and it'd be super awkward to ask them if I could go, and it's halfway across the country from me. Might go to Midwest Brony Fest next year if I get up the courage to ask my Aunt, though, as that one's literally 20 minutes from my house. Does anypony know, is that con a good one? However, in two years I'll be living on my own, and I have an interesting plan. I've always wanted one of those VW Microbuses that seat like, 12 people, I've priced them and I think that I might buy one when I get out of college. And then it occured to me- If I do buy one, I could drive to BronyCon once a year and offer free rides to anyone between Missouri and Maryland. So, what do you guys think, would anyone hit up the "Brony Bus"? Signature by the ever-awesome Overdrive! Pinki Pie FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I was gonna go with someone but then the plans got a bit complicated in my personal life. Nothing serous though. I hope I can go next year though since I'll be 18 at that point. Besides, it's the same weekend of my vacation to Michigan so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yummychickenblue 301 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I really wish I could since I live really close to Baltimore, unfortunately tickets cost an arm and a leg. Anybody know when and where Ponyville Live streams it? Check out my EQTV channel The Chicken Coop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyme Soundstick 266 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 Lack of money and the long distance between me and the convention :l Also family not knowing about the brony side of me would make it difficult :l 1 YouTube (Gaming) - - https://www.youtube.com/user/other11000 YouTube (Singing) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5SSb4adOp6w35ojdDIzwqg Lyme Soundstick (Good Guy OC) - https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/lyme-soudstick-r7593 Slei Ansuz (Bad Guy OC) - https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/slei-ansuz-r8665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest90210 3,568 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 No money, no car, no driving skills, no in-person Brony friends, all prevent me from going. I'd love to go someday though. I'm jealous. It seems like a magical experience that I'd like to attend one of these years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many lucky and great people I know are going but at the same time there are many who cannot. I for one have an anti brony family who banned me from merch and anything pony related. I was wondering for those of you not going, what is keeping you from attending? Well there is travel costs, hotel costs, and things like that, so Money is an issue. There is transportation itself. I have no one to go with, sadly, and I am also a closet brony. So yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey 5,717 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I'm from Australia, so we don't get any Bronycons here. It would be nice to attend at least one some day, however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like I'll never get to go Yea I worried about the same thing but my friend Selfie Pony reminded me that why would the con stop it it keeps growing and making more money? Hasbro may make the next gen just like gen 4 but more possible hold on the 4th gen a bit longer. The fandom will even still continue to exist even if the show stops.

Not as easy for me to fly halfway across the country for. You adults have it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan_1 132 August 7, 2015 Share August 7, 2015 I dreamed to go there, but I live in Indonesia, and the plane tickets is very expensive, so I'll be stuck here, have a good time for y'all that can make it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
