It’s time to whip out those vocal exercises because returning this April, is Season 4 of The Voice: Equestria! We challenge you to show us what you’ve got in that mouth of yours, in the ultimate contest of audible creativity. But we don’t want to hear your best impressions of Twilight or Pinkie, we want your own characters out of your own head. That’s right, we want your original characters. Make it past our pre-judges, to the final round, and Tara Strong, Tabitha St. Germain, and Ashleigh Ball get to hear and judge you, on stage, in lights, in front of a live audience at BABSCon 2017. So, do you have what it takes to impress Tara and our other Guests of Honor? Read the rules below.... If you, brave and talented soul, are attending BABSCon this April and wish to enter, submit to us a short YouTube video of yourself strutting your stuff and that wicked tongue of yours, then tweet a link of that video to @BABScon with the hashtag #TheVoiceEquestria, or post to our Facebook, to grab the pre-contest judges’ attention. Finalists will be chosen to compete and perform in front of a panel of our Guests of Honor for the grand prize and the title of being The Voice of Equestria. The Rules: You must be attending BABSCon in person and be 18 or over to be eligible. To enter, upload a video to YouTube (or similar service) of no more than 3 minutes in length displaying your range as a VA* (Note: This is NOT “mimic as many ponies from MLP:FiM as possible”…we want distinct characters with a variety of pitches, tonalities, accents, etc.). Tweet a link of your video to @babscon with the hashtag #TheVoiceEquestria, or post to our Facebook, to submit it, and send an email to pr@babscon.com with your name, BABSCon badge name, email address, and phone number. Our staff will select finalists from the submissions to compete on stage, live at BABSCon, where Tara Strong herself plus two more of the show's VAs will audition you! Finalists from The Voice: Equestria Season 3 are not eligible. We’ll be accepting entries from now until 3/31/17. GoH OCs by PixelKitties

In a world of voice actors, one man stands as a guiding force, a beacon in the star-filled sky, a new hope for us all. With the strength and steadfastness of an apple tree, he cries “Eeyup.” This Spring, BABSCon is pleased to welcome back the force that is Peter New! Peter’s iconic “Eeyup” has brought such life and character to MLP:FiM’s wise Big Macintosh, who is he is arguably one of the most beloved male characters of the show. But Peter New isn’t just a one “Eeyup” man. Many of the other stallions we meet are voiced by Peter as well, including Rarity’s and Pinkie Pie’s dads …plus Squizzard, the mighty squid wizard. Peter also had an amazing musical number in the episode “Filli Vanilli.” Lest anyone forget, one year Peter also arrived at BABSCon’s Saturday VA panel as the glorious Princess Big Mac. In addition to his “apple” acting, Peter New is the speaking and singing voice of Sunil Nevla on Littlest Pet Shop, made on-screen appearances on shows such as Psych, Stargate SG-1, Dead Like Me, and Point Blank, and even had a Leo Award Nominated role as Donald Dirk in Sunflower Hour. Peter New joins Tabitha St. Germain as a Guest of Honor at BABSCon 2017 and we have a lot more industry and community guests to announce! Register now at babscon.com. Also, be on the lookout for amazing Black Friday deals starting Thanksgiving night. Here’s a hint: the code is BLACKFRIDAY20

After the panels wind down, and the whole bay area is lit up with majestic colors of the setting sun, our stage lights up for the one and only NEIGHhem. BABSCon wouldn’t be complete without Saturday night’s concert trying to bring the house down with 11 top acts from some of the fandom’s best musicians. Featuring the talents of... Eurobeat Brony, Taps, Cyril the Wolf Jeff Burgess, Tarby, StrachAttack Garnika, Chang31ing, Additive Subtractive Darselex, Psycosis This year’s NEIGHhem is sure to be our best yet so you won’t wanna miss it. NEIGHhem starts Saturday at 8pm and jams long into the night. But before that madness shakes the dust from the ceiling, it’s time to dress up and get refined in our Friday night cosplay dance, The BABSquerade. No need for fancy moves, the music is here for you to just sway to if you want. Dress up as your favorite pony, griffon, changeling or other character at this masquerade party. But if cosplay isn’t your strong suite, then suit up or lace up that ball gown and don a mask and get your groove on. The BABSquerade starts at 8pm on Friday and lasts until someone turns into Pumpkin Cake. Be sure to catch Lauren Faust, Andrea Libman, Nicole Oliver, Kelly Sheridan, Terry Klassen, Josh Haber (writer of the Season 6 premier and story editor), G. M. Berrow, Director Denny Lu, Kora Kosika, Steph Mahoney, Andy Price, Jeremy Whitley, Jenn Blake, and our community guests! Now with more hotel space! Stay tuned to our social media as our full schedule is coming soon!

I had the space and just spoke to Simon and we will hosting a Poniverse meetup on Friday, after the Poniverse panel if that panel ends up on Friday. Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend!

Last year, BABSCon had the honor of bringing hot new Season 4 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic show writer Josh Haber to his first pony con. And, based on his reception here and elsewhere, how could we not bring him back? After all, he wrote not one, not two, but three amazing episodes in a season that went from strength to strength: “Castle Mane-ia,” “Simple Ways,” and “Leap of Faith.” Eeyup, Josh gave us an epic pony dungeon-crawl, “Applejewel” and a truly masterful performance from Tabitha St. Germain as Rarity, another toe-tapping Flim & Flam song-and-dance number, and the role that brought fellow Guest of Honor and voice acting superstar Ian James Corlett into the MLP fold. Josh joins the strongest slate of Guests of Honor since…actually, since BABSCon 2014! Along with Tara Strong, Andrea Libman, Cathy Weseluck, Peter New, Claire Corlett, Ian James Corlett, Rebecca Shoichet, Brian Drummond, Brynna Drummond, Marÿke Hendrikse, Danny Ingram, Steffan Andrews, Natasha Levinger, G.M. Berrow, Heather Breckel, Tony Fleecs, Heather Nuhfer, Bobby Curnow, and Jenn Blake, he’s going to make this year’s con even better than the last. Our own caste, the sumptuous Hyatt Regency SFO, awaits. Book your room and buy your membership now at http://registration.babscon.com. You don’t want to miss this!

She’s baaa-aaaaack! My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’s Gilda the Griffon has miraculously transformed into darling ditzy Dazzling, Sonata Dusk, in Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. So grab a taco and experience the one and only Marÿke Hendrikse at BABSCon! Like many of her cohorts on MLP:FiM, Marÿke is a well-rounded voice acting talent. Her credits range from the rip-roaring Revy in Black Lagoon, to several Princesses in the Barbie franchise, numerous bubbly Bratz, and even Brights Brightly from the Generation 3 My Little Pony movie, A Very Pony Place. She will be joining our other BABSCon Guests of Honor—Tara Strong, Andrea Libman, Cathy Weseluck, Peter New, Claire Corlett, Ian James Corlett, Brian Drummond, Brynna Drummond, Danny Ingram, Steffan Andrews, G.M. Berrow, Heather Breckel, and Tony Fleecs—to bring you a bigger, better, badder BABSCon this April. So, ensure your chance to meet all of these amazing personalities by registering now at https://registration.babscon.com! The Bay Area Brony Spectacular (BABSCon) is the first convention devoted to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in the San Francisco Bay Area. In our first year, we became the second-largest MLP con anywhere, and we’re back for our second year April 3–5, 2015 at the SFO Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, CA.

Yes unfortunately a small stage play that John had a part in this past April had a small chance of returning for 2015 and it got lucky. John de Lancie will be playing the title character, Mr. Wolf and the play runs March-April. Don't despair too much because we are planning on getting 3-4 extra Guests of Honor to make it up to all our attendees.

It’s Just Not a Party Without Andrea Libman, So BABSCon Got Her! Are you ready for a Boxing Day miracle? After all of the Hearth’s Warming presents were opened, we found a big, beautifully-wrapped box today. And, to our surprise and delight, it had Andrea Libman in it! So we thought we’d share her with all of you at BABSCon this April. You all know this smart, talented, UBCP/ACTRA Award-winning actress as both Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but she’s also voiced the titular Madeline in The New Adventures of Madeline and Andraia on the classic ReBoot, as was a regular on children’s shows such as Dragon Tales, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot, and Strawberry Shortcake. She’s a fixture on the MLP con circuit because, let’s face it, no pony party is complete without Pinkie Pie. Her presence guarantees that attendees will have the best of times with her double Mane-6 party power. With Andrea joining fellow Guests of Honor Tara Strong, Cathy Weseluck, Claire Corlett, Ian James Corlett, Brian Drummond, Brynna Drummond, Tony Fleecs, and Heather Breckel, it’ll be an experience that’s not to be missed. So, register now and prepare to fire those party cannons! The Bay Area Brony Spectacular (BABSCon) is the first convention devoted to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We care a great deal. We have based a great deal of the convention's theme around JDL that we now have to redo. In addition seeing our attendees such as yourself being upset is upsetting to us. The dramatic reading wasn't actually in our original plan as a tier reward. When it was discovered much later that JDL wanted to give his dramatic reading we thought that our up tier memberships shouldn't have to pay for anything additional. If you feel there is something more we can add to the membership to make up for it, I am very open to suggestions.

BABSCon brings you the unstoppable dynamically daring duo who bring you all the magical melodies you know and love from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, including such hits as "Smile," "Winter Wrap-Up," and "This Day Aria."

Daniel Ingram boasts an impressive breadth of musical experience and talent. With over 200 songs composed, Ingram has been featured in Littlest Pet Shop, Combat School, The Stagers, About A Girl, and numerous other works. Daniel Ingram has composed every ballad, aria, rocker, and wub-fest you’ve enjoyed in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, and Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. Additionally, Daniel directs the vocals for every song on the show, coaxing the singing sweetness from the voice actors we all know and love. Steffan Andrews creates the orchestral component of the enchanting music from My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic. Andrews has also been featured in Littlest Pet Shop, The League of Super Evil, and Martha Speaks among others. Andrews’ orchestrations add scope and depth that helps make the music of My Little Pony better than all the rest! Between them, Steffan Andrews and Daniel Ingram share two Leo Awards and one nomination for Best Musical Score in an Animation Program or Series. They’ll be joining Tara Strong, Cathy Weseluck, Claire & Ian Corlett, Brian & Brynna Drummond, Heather Breckel, and Tony Fleecs among our Guests of Honor at BABSCon 2015.
