You're in my hometown! Gives me more incentive to go now. :3

[STVO]

Whoa, it's on my birthday (the Sunday date.) Haven't jumped on the Brony Bandwagon yet, but you never know. I'll pass it on to Brony friends though.

[Mari_Queen_of_Fools]

I'm just going to flail my arms around for a while.
You can ask my sister, I sit around and talk about this con all the time.
Midwestria is just the best name ever.

:x fun times ahead

[cloudacmaster]

I might go to this. As it is relatively close to me.

Passed the info to a few MLP friends of mine. Needless to say, they are thrilled.

I can die happy. Between Midwestria and Kollision Con, Pheasant Run will be home to not one but two excellent cons this fall.

How far is this from Chicago?

[KnitChick]

It's about 20 min west of Naperville, if I recall correctly so... like an hour & a half west of Chicago I'd say? It's the western suburbs, it's not too far but it's not close like Rosemont.

[Hikari189]

By car it's about an hour and by train it's roughly an hour and a half to two hours. That's from downtown so travel times will obviously go down as you're further from the lake.

Gnarly.

[MasterHavik]

Thanks guys. I'll think about it. It depends on where I go to college this year. Since that's during when school is starting back up.

[chamgirl89]

The con date is so close to my birthday! I must find a way to go!

[cactusmomma]

-Thank you- for not being the weekend of Ramencon.

[MasterHavik]

Let's see those prices.

Edit: Not bad. I might go for a day though. Depending on what college I go to.

I'll be anxious to see a guest list to see if I want to make this trip.

[dorkatlarge]

It's September 2012. So that means that Midwestria is just under two weeks from now. Hopefully the artist / exhibitor list and the panel schedule will be available soon.

Right now, I'm thinking that I will attend only on Saturday, which would be $25 at the door. I've thought about attending an FIM specific fan convention for some time, but I'm not committed enough to spend the money required to attend a con outside of Chicagoland. I expect that Midwestria will be a quiet, low-key event.

[rondo]

It's on EQD at the very least, so that should help its numbers.

I am so happy that the convention went so well and everypony had such a great time! Hopefully we can get this going next year as well guys. I was working staff just checking badges during some of the time there. But kept my morale going by playing music on my phone. And people were singing along to it and dancing xD. I really had a good time as well though the panels were excellent the guests were great and i met all of them. Didn't hear any complaints at all really. BUT! the only thing is we would like more people to come to the convention! Some of our guests consisted of the writers MA Larson, Charlotte Larson, and musicians eurobeats, taps, EHT, and a few others as well .
