Just when I thought it was safe to reinstate my “no-pants Saturdays” policy, it turns out I’ve got another convention coming up: one requiring a certain amount of travel, preparation, and yes, pants-wearing.
This month’s con is Running of the Leaves, a convention in Denver dedicated to celebrating “the eccentric and effervescent community that developed around the television show ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.'” I’ll be attending in my role as a designer and carnival barker for the My Little Pony Collectible Card Game. The con runs October 31 – November 2, so while others are lolling around the house in sugar comas, I’ll be at the con teaching people to play the MLP CCG and handing out promo cards to anyone who asks.
While the con is only two weeks away, they’re still taking registrations. So if you’re a brony looking for your tribe, or just a fan of animation and its related subcultures, check out Running of the Leaves. (But don’t tell them I sent you. I want it to be surprise.)
