Super Ponybeat remains one of the...
New Guest Announcement and Sponsor Badge Reminder!
Hello friends! We are announcing a change in our guest roster. Sometimes, life changes without warning and sometimes these changes lead to new and better things. Lee Tockar has been nominated for an Emmy! This spectacular news comes with a price for us, however. The Emmys fall on June 14th this year, the first day of our con, so he will not be able to join us for Trotcon 2013. We wish Lee the best...

New Guests from YouTube
Confound those ponies, they drive us to YouTube and YouTube video accessories! What mashups are to music, YouTube poops are to videos: varied, creative, sometimes serious and often silly, but most importantly, a good YTP is filled with plenty of ssuss. It can be hard to come by, but fortunately for all of you, two of the most prominent MLP poopers will be joining us this summer to provide more...

Unfounded rumors
There is currently a false quote being spread around that we are claiming that anyone who wishes to attend or support a certain other convention will be banned from our event and meetup group. This is both untrue and nonsensical. It’s impossible to control where people go and what they do, and the idea that we would even want to do so is entirely against the community spirit on which our...

This one is at the end of July… it’s in Columbus, Ohio, which is within driving range (far, but not out of the question) The registration fee is a reasonable amount for a 2-day event, unlike BroNYCon.
Also, they do allow adult art to be sold as far as i can tell… as long as…
