Welcome to Whose Line is it Anypony! The event where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Everfree Network to Stream BronyCon 2013

BronyCon is pleased to announce that we will be streaming parts of our convention again this year for those around the world who might not be able to make it to Baltimore this August. We are happier to announce that after much work, we have named Everfree Network our official streaming partner for BronyCon this year. Everfree Network streamed both of our convention in 2012, and we are excited to have them back for the biggest Brony event of the season.

BronyCon Announces New Location for its 2014 Convention

BronyCon is showing that the sky truly isn’t the limit by bringing you an “out of this world” experience by taking its convention to the moon for BronyCon 2014.

 “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Zephyr Sparkle, convention chair of BronyCon, said in a very reminiscent speech.

Sparkle went on to explain “that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”

BronyCon is leaving no energy to spare as they have already contracted construction of the moon base necessary for the event. The “Mane Event Hall” in the base is said to be able to accommodate up to 12,000 people for its annual music festival, BronyPalooza. That’s double the space available for its 2013 event! There will also be a special con discount rate for lodging on the moon.

BronyCon Finalizes BronyPalooza — 2 Days, 12 Hours, 33 Musicians

Last but not least, BronyCon has finalized its extensive and legendary lineup for BronyPalooza 2013, the largest brony concert in the world that covers a wide range of musical genres.

The demand this year was so great with an overwhelming 89 hours of performance time requested that BronyCon has decided to extend BronyPalooza across two days of the convention, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 2-3, for a total concert time of 12 hours.

After making incredibly tough decisions of who to select from the 150 applicants, BronyCon is excited to expand its performance list to 33 musicians with the addition of Assertive Fluttershy, Metajoker, Jeff Burgess, Flaedr, PhillyPu, Chain Algorithm, dBPony, Replacer and Feather.

The Baltimore Convention Center also offers the space for BronyPalooza to accommodate an audience of 6,000 bronies—which is enough to fit the entire attendance of BronyCon Summer 2012 with plenty of room to spare!
