Oh yes, it's true.
It's that time again to cover another major convention. (without any of us actually being there). So we need your help in gaining as much information as we possibly can about Everfree NW. Send your pics, discriptions, scans, emails, miscellaneous knick-knacks to FOBEquestria@gmail.com so we can happly burrow through all of it and give you all a chance to get a feel for the convention without being there!
Otherwise, I'll have to troll several forums, read dozens of blog posts, and generally work my butt off. Why? Because I care! That's why! We do these and the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard!
SEMPER FILLY!
Logging you in...

First day was a HUGE flustercluck, it was just one problem after another, after yet another. I wont get too much into the details, but pretty much all the events were pushed back by an hour or two, and things were very disorganized. Me and my wife ended up leaving around 1330 because the lines were so bad and it was pretty warm out for the NW (it was a high of 94 that day with decent humidity) and everyone was miserable and a little disgruntled. Even though I didnt go to it, from the others I spoke to today, Ponystock was pretty bad too, people waiting for about 30 mins to get into it.
The second day though was MUCH better and more organized and things went over much smoother. The weather was also much better (a cool 74, 20 degrees than yesterday). A lot of good things went on today, and during the VA panel, a 12 year old kid asked all the voice actors that were there a great question (I cant recall what it was off the top of my head) but he completely stole the show. after the VA panel, it was time to wait in line for hours to get all 14 signatures of all the Voice actors and the song writer for the show (well that was my wife's quest, I only wanted tabitha's autograph) and nicole oliver (voice of Celestia and showed up only for today) to give signatures. After about 6 hours or so of waiting in lines for signatures, buying pony stuff (I got a poster of gamer luna, and had tabitha st. germaine to sign it, and taken a picture of me and my wife with her, and my wife got her picture taken with peter new) we just went home (we live only a short drive from the convention site.
Anyways thats how things have gone from my perspective. Its not bad for a first year con, and hopefully things will get much better next year (this year they got completely flooded with people and werent prepared). now that all the major things got accomplished today, me and the wifey plan on spending tomorrow actually trying to enjoy the convention. The convention is actually split up between the 2 locations (the marriot and holiday inn) and one is about 2 blocks down hill from the other, and they just have so much stuff going on to be able to cover it all at both locations. this is just from my perspective so take it for what you will, because I havent been trying to go to every single thing thats happening, and because of so many people at the event, lines get extremely long and I just dont care to wait in lines forever.
But I did take a few pictures of some good cosplays;several celestia's and luna's, and 1 amazing cadence cosplay, got a picture of a great Flim&Flam cosplay and a couple as wonderbolts. I didnt get a chance to take a good picture of the roidrage cosplay, or the giant princess celestia costume, and a couple other flim & flams that were there, but it was still cool.
I will post about the last day tomorrow when I finally get the chance to enjoy everfree.
Fobhopper out.
