It's going to be an exciting weekend! So, please come and see us! It will be the weekend of October 20-21. We hope to see everypony there!

Animethon Followup!

Hi everypony!

So, despite our severe negligence of the website, we have been very busy. We had a very productive weekend at Animethon up in Edmonton. We revealed there our first line of Calgary Brony Exhibition t-shirts! Thanks to everyone there for being incredibly supportive! It truly amazes us at how much everyone is behind this.
Now to more news! We are getting a lot of emails about vendor and artist alley tables and we are running low on space. So, please let us know soon if you plan on attending. We have put a table end date at January 31, 2013. I know it seems far away, but we are getting an incredible amount of interest! As well, we are working on more products to sell, so keep an eye out for them.
Lastly, Con Guy found this funny video from the Nostalgia Critic about Bronydom:

Wonderful weekend

Hi everypony!

Well.... where do we start!? We had a crazy busy, productive, and wonderful weekend at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo! For starters, as anyone following us knows, we were given wonderful gifts to auction off by amazing members of the community! It turned out great! Con Guy and I are now so very close to our goal of finalizing a venue! As such, expect the news of location and dates sometime within the next couple of months! We have also been invited to have tables and panels at both Animethon and Nishikaze! So, we are going to be two very busy ponies for quite some time.

I'd like to take this time to thank so many ponies! First off, I would like to thank the Expo for letting us be a part of the wonderful community there! Secondly, to everypony who stopped by and showed their support. It was nothing short of inspirational for both Con Guy and myself! Thirdly, to everyone who supported us by buying things! We can honestly say that we did not expect so much support in the financial department like that!  Fourthly, to everyone who was generous enough to donate! It honestly made my day every time someone did it! Fifth, I would like to thank Paper Street Cosplay for helping us out when things were looking bleak! Your amazing products were a great way to get people to come to our booth!  Of course, I wish to thank my fiance pony, Caring Hooves, for helping out on Friday! As well, I would like to thank Bob, Alex, and John, who all made things easier by being completely amazing friends and helping us out with whatever they could! I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our media friends who decided to record us and spread the news about the Exhibition! And, lastly, on a personal note, Con Guy and his girl pony, Simone, for doing so very much work! I, unfortunately, had to step away from the amazing Expo on Saturday for a family wedding. (I tried really hard to get out of it!) With that said, they put in so much work to keep everything going and talk to absolutely everypony they could at the Expo! And for this, I want to extend my most heartfelt thanks to them!

If I forgot to thank anyone at all, I put forth my most sincere apologies! All in all, it was a great weekend full of busy times and wonderful ponies! It was a wonderfully eye opening experience for all of us involved. We look immensely forward to bringing all of our friends in Equestria wonderful news in the future!

Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

More Info on Our Changes

Sorry everyone About being TARDY! but when I posted last night I guess it Didn't update. To explain we have  Been Making Changes in our Business name and the entire name of what we are doing, this has been brought on by a email we Received from Andrew Brockert. For those who don't know he is the Con Chair for the Original BronyCon, and we have complied with his request to change our name as he has made us aware of an issue cropping up, long story short the Name BronyCon is theirs and us using it causes legal Hassle for them, us, and any companies that interact with either of us. BronyCon is what we aspire to be if we can and we want to get there without causing any trouble for Existing Brony Conventions. There are alot or reasons for this change that are behind the scenes but I Don't want to bore you all with all the details but suffice to say we were inconvenienced re branding some of our established work but we were more than  happy to do so.

And that's How Equestria was made

Contest

Right,

As well, we need to make everypony aware that for the logo contest, please use our new name. As well, we haven't heard anything from Hasbro, so please do not use any trademarked image as we don't really want any more legal hassles.

Thanks!

New Name

Hello everypony!

It's been a fun morning of illegal doing. We have been told that our previous name was trademarked, and while that made us sad, we are moving forward! So, unless anyone has trademarked the work "exhibition, we are in the clear. Also, if you have, contact us so that we may berrate you and make you feel silly. :P But, in all seriousness, we are still moving forward! While our name has changed, I can guarantee you that our mantra has not. We still want to make this thing real and make it grand! If only the Grand Galloping Gala could be so magnificent as we hope this to be! But, I will let everyone know, that our twitter handle has changed as well. We are working very hard on preparing what we can for the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo! So, please come visit us there if you can!

Have a wonderful day everypony!

Hello Everypony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Check us out at the Calgary Comic and entertainment Expo at booth T06. We will be there to raise funds and let Everypony know who we are so stop by and say "Hello!"

But, we have some exciting news! *hoof roll please!* We are very close to our booth at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo! We are currently talking to the Expo Exhibit Directors and working it out! So, here is where we need A TON OF COMMUNITY HELP!

Every bit counts everypony! Please, if you have any suggestions/comments/questions, email/twitter/facebook us! We are trying very hard to get this moving forward, but we need the help of the Equestria community to do so! We will keep posting info as it becomes available!

Sage Charger and ConGuy

Con news!

Hi everypony!

Let us start by saying that we are so sorry for the long wait in between posts! Turns out that starting a convention has many, many legal sides to it! So, Con Guy and I have been working as quick as we can doing the legal type things... and by Celestia we are making progress! So, some time hopefully very soon we will be able to update everypony on some of the other things we are planning (we can't yet for legal reasons)! So, please, keeping spreading the word and getting pumped for the convention! And, if you have any questions/comments/queries(/anything at all!), please just write us a letter (Dear... Calgary BronyCon Lords? :P ) and fire away!

And as of now, I'm officially stealing and modifying a popular phrase (and remember that you heard it here first!).... Keep calm and BRONY on!

Have a wonderful day and weekend everypony!


P.S. Also feel free to leave comments! The more word from the community that we have... the better!

Poll Results - Favorite Mane Six?

The results are in everypony! Your favorites are:
1) Twilight Sparkle
2) Rainbow Dash
3) Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy (it was a tie!)
4) Rarity
5) Applejack

Our new poll is going to be about the con itself, so help us out by giving your input!

Thanks and have a beautiful day!

Vendors and artists galore (hopefully)!

Hey everypony!

So The Con Guy (Nick) and Sage Charger (Steve) have been doing more work on getting this going! Right now we need every ponies help! We are looking to bring vendors and artists to the Calgary Bronycon! But, seeing as our cutie marks have nothing to do with art or making cool stuff, we need help in locating some! We need everypony to talk to friends and post in their various social networks about this! We want the con to be a vibrant place of fun and harmony! As such, we would like everypony to ask around to see if there are any vendors or artists who are pony-centric and who are willing to come and set up a table for the convention! The price is yet to be determined, but we are working on it! So, please do your best to ask around, because I'm sure all of the ponies attending would love to see the amazing pony artwork  and pony stuff in one place! So, again, please pass this on!

Hoping you all have a great day!

Sage Charger

Calgary BronyCon Logo Contest!

Hello everypony! Thank you for entering the Calgary BronyCon logo contest! Of course, this contest has us judges all very excited! And, we hope that you are also excited... and if you weren't before, maybe the prizes for winning will make you excited! So, not to hold you in suspense too long, here are the prizes!

• First Place
• Two VIP tickets to the convention, an item autographed by Tara Strong (yet to be determined), and your work as the face of the con!
• Second Place
• One VIP ticket to the con, a Brony t-shirt in the winner's size, and one regular pass to the convention!
• Third Place
• A Mane Six bag, and two regular tickets to the con!

We have quite the rigorous judging panel, composed of Bronies and Non-Bronies alike! So, nopony will be left in the dust! Our judging panel will judge each entry on a numerical and objective basis! And on that note, I proudly present the other information: No entrants are involved in the judging process. Each category is labeled 1 through 5 in junction with the points, where 1 is the least possible score in the category, and 5 is the maximum. Therefore, there is a possible score of 20 for each entry and all entries are judged on this scale. Here are the categories:

AWESOMENESS

1. Cool, but not radical.
2. Radical, but not awesome.
3. Above average awesome for a pony work.
4. Amazing to look at.
5. Awesome by definition... it truly inspires awe!

REPRESENTATION

1. The only representation of the convention or Calgary is in the logo.
2. Contains minor elements from Calgary or Pony culture.
3. Uses both Calgary and Pony cultural elements in a way that ties together.
4. The image very easily represents both Calgary and the Bronies.
5. This entry captures the very essence of the spirit of Calgary and the spirit of Bronies in an integral way.

PROMOTION

1. The entry has no visible element promoting the convention.
2. The only indication of the convention is the logo.
3. Logo is evidently attempting to promote the convention in style and text.
4. The entry clearly promotes the cultural phenomenon associated with the convention.
5. The entry very easily depicts the cultural phenomenon and the brotherhood we would like tied to the convention.

CREATIVITY

1. The image has a simple idea and a lack of proper execution. Artistic elements within the logo are not cohesive and do not fit the theme of the convention.
2. The logo has the possibility to be unique and original but it does not live up to its potential. Also, the entry has a lack of execution.
3. The logo has an original idea but it does not have awesome execution.
4. The logo has an original and unique idea and above average execution. (Ehhhh. it needs to be about 20% cooler!)
5. The logo encompasses a completely original idea and has excellent execution. All of the elements present with the logo make a harmonious whole. It exemplifies what it means to be a Brony!

Well, here is where we thank everyone for their wonderful entries! We look forward to looking at every entry! All entries can be submitted to CalgaryBronyCon@gmail.com. *fangirl squeel*

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:

By submitting an entry, you accept the following terms:
