Anyone else unable to attend Bronycon 2015?

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?

Anti-brony family? Now I am curious. Care to elaborate?

Every kind of con (be Brony or E3 or whatever) I could never attend due to price and that they're usually far away.

 

Mini-meetups like Wendys Con with the SoCal Bronies, I have attended. And I have even attended the "Disneyland Resort Opened for 24 hours" event in May 2014 and 2015. Although, due to having at least one college class on those days, I was never there the full 24 hours; I'd go as soon as my class was over and stay within the Resort until the event ended the next morning at 6, never even taking a nap 'till after getting home.

 

*Sigh* I wish I could attend one of these cons. Brony-related, E3-related.

I've tried telling my parents about BronyCon but they come up with these excuses that just sound plain ignorant...very sad if you ask me. I'm certainly gonna try for next year.

Basically my family first found out I liked the show when I asked to get a fluttershy t shirt. They automatically said no and that getting that shirt is "very gay" as they are Christians. I told them that other guys my age love the show so they researched the fandom. They said no next because the fandom still looks like a bunch of loners, pedos, dangerous people from 4chan etc. Now I'm forbidden from getting any merch or going anywhere "little pony" related until I am out of the house. Then they said end of story and if I mention mlp again, I'm getting punished.

Unless something happens and the plane I'm taking home tomorrow has to take an immediate stop in Maryland to be delayed for days, even ignoring the fact that I'm not really able to talk up-front, I'm almost sure I wont be there :P

Sounds... Odd to say the least. Though to be fair, this is what happens when a fandom gets a lot of bad press releases because some of the "louder" members do some stupid stuff.

I will not be attending due to finances, unwillingness to leave my dogs with somebody else, and the state of Maryland doesn't have reciprocity with my state's concealed carry permit.  I don't really like to visit states that limit second amendment rights.
