Aw don't feel bad, I can't go to any conventions either. I probably won't be until I'm 16 But I feel you, it does kind of suck.

It's very hard for me to go to conventions too. Mostly because I live in Brazil and most of the conventions are in either North America or Europe. Besides, the conventions always happen during school weekends, and if I miss a day of school I lose like a lot of possible content that will be in future exams.

 

So yeah, FML. If only there was like a Latin America convention hosted in Brazil...

I won't be a complete brony until I get a Thunderlane plushie and go to a convention.

I personally can't go because i'm a closet brony(Even to my parents) and because my parents would never pay the money for me to go to something like Bronycon. 

 

I wouldn't bother going to Bronycan honestly unless i had lots of money, because I live in America :P.

 

But i know the feeling, still there are lots of people who feel the same as you, so don't feel left out that much.

Awh, don't feel left out.

I live in Malaysia.  As if I can go to any conventions!  No one is going to bring me all the way to America or Canada to spend even more money on ponies!

But I'm sure there is some brony thing you'll get to go to!  I've been a brony for almost a year now and haven't gone to anything.  But on Saturday I'm meeting some Malay bronies at a cosplay event :D

So it just takes some patience.  Don't worry!  You aren't alone!

For awhile I know how you felt. I go to school on the other side of the state and I always wanted to go to an anime con. Problem was when I was in school there were anime cons in my hometown, but when I was in my hometown the anime cons were by my school. Finally something gave way and there was a pony con near my school while I was in school.

You could do what I plan on doing: tell no one where you're going and run away in the middle of the night. Everfree Northwest, here I come! 

 

(Don't do that. That is a terrible idea.)

 

(I'm totally gonna do that, though.)

I'm sorry that you feel left out. That's perfectly understandable and I can easily relate to your situation because i've never been to any con in my life. All the conventions are just so far away. BronyCan, GalaCon, and even the legit Bronycon are all way out of my reach at the moment because of money issues. :/

 

I really would love to go to one. Sigh. There is one opening up in Arizona soon, and since I live in Southern California, that may be the first convention I'd be able to visit.

 

Overall, I'm sorry. Your poor thing!  :(  *hugs*

 

lol It would be cool if all us bronies who can't make it to BronyCon due to money issues can put together our money so that we could go. Doubt it would work though.

 

Would be helpful nonetheless. :P

I'm part of the Vanhoover group and we're all going to BronyCan next week. we have our weekly meet up tomorrow. I can poke some of the ppl in our group to get lots of pics and I'll make sure they upload them here for you :3

 

I can't make any promises but I'll see what I can do.

And you should totally write a letter and leave it on your bed so that people don't get startled when you go missing. It can go a bit like:

 

"Dear Princess Celestia Mom, Dad, Sibling, Friend, Pal, Enemy, Pope, Whatever

 

I'm gone to EverFree NorthWest a place far far away, where the laws of physics don't apple apply. Please don't try to know my whereabouts.

 

Yours faithfully,

Me"

Here's my advice: you are not being left out by not going to a convention.

Make friends with bronies near to your location and go to meetups instead, you'll have MUCH more fun that way.

I'm on the same boat. I'd love to go to a convention but I live too far away...and I have little to no money I can spend to convince my parents whatsoever...so, yeah.

Have the courage to think and act on your own. And have the courage to disobey.

I know the feel! I live pretty close to a lot of conventions but I couldn't go to a single one due to summer camp, family vacation blah blah blah. I had to sit around on the NC Bronies forums listening to people talk about how much fun they had at Bronycon. But hey! There's always next year! Or maybe you could join in on a local meetup group, those are fun! Or maybe you could just hang out with us on the forums :D

Oh

Yeah, sure, that would work... Ya know, if I had money.

Now, that would be a good idea. Anyway, *hugs back*

Thank you! :D

In that case... Any Midwestern bronies out there?

Listen kid, take it from me, it's not worth it. Now granted I'm intoxicated right now (AND I DON'T WANT YOU DRINKING UNTIL YOU'RE 21) but that doesn't mean I can't give some great advice.

Cons contain some people that most would rather not see. Sure, you'll meet some friends now and then, but no one that's going to stay with you or entertain you.
The raves are the best part and even then I couldn't get any action (like WTF, right?)

 

Don't waste your money, big man. Save it for something else that will last you a whole lot longer and won't destroy your perception of the fandom. Granted, Bronycon is OK but it's nothing I HAVE to go to. It's probably the best convention I've ever been to, but that's not saying much.

Speak for yourself mate; been to BronyCon '12, Canterlot Gardens, Everfree Northwest '13, and BronyCon...again (this year) and I can't say I've seen anybody/thing that's negatively impacted the way I perceive the fandom. Sure, I agree, there's going to be something/someone extreme out there (it's a large crowd of people after all), but nothing to be actively concerned about. Anything crazy seems to occur behind closed doors/under tables, the cons like to keep a good public image.

 

Regarding making friends, your mileage may vary. Personally, I attend conventions for the atmosphere, parties, and opportunities to socialize with my fellow nerds. I lump an entire con and the people I meet under "one night bro stands"; we live hundreds (or even thousands) of miles apart and will carry on with our lives after the con. But for a regular convention attendee, it's nice to meet people and make connections. Who knows? You might just see them again next year. :mellow:

 

...and I wouldn't call them raves. Seems like most of the dancers aren't wired/fried (just drunk is about as messed up I see, and even then, lots of sober people) & the music is seldom consistent for a rave. But again, your mileage may vary.

 

I guess we just perceive conventions differently. I feel that a convention's atmosphere is unique, somewhere you can go full nerd and talk to hundreds (or thousands) of typically sociable people about all things pony. Local meetups can't match the sheer scale of the event. In summary, I do disagree that a convention is likely to destroy your perception of the fandom. For me, it's a nice break from life and well worth the money spent. Some cons are certainly better than others, but I don't think you'd regret going OP! There are always good times and memories to be had.

 

Don't get too worked up about missing it, these cons aren't going anywhere!

 

Cheers

 

(and the legal drinking age in British Columbia, where this convention is taking place, is 19. Assuming you mean to protect her from possible legal entanglements.)

Quite the trooper!

 

I went to Sakura-Con four times, and a few smaller conventions here and there. BronyCAN will be my first brony con.

 

Trust me, conventions are worth the spend.
