http://www.buckcon.org/ Finally, some more details have been released on this year's buck! Yet again, it'll be in Manchester, but from the 23rd to the 25th of August! Guests of Honour will Include the Living Tombstone, Wooden Toaster and Rainbow Crash! I'm pumped yo! I've heard they've got a whole floor dedicated to Merch!! *Issothere*
Last year when I was there they had Firenze doing some drawing, plushies which went SUPER quick, a stall ran by two guys dressed as Flim and Flam who did a load of different merch, a raffle table for the Canterlot Castle and a ComicCon Derpy Hooves, a table which was all about a new card game which has now been released this year, a table which sold a load of embroidery, pony badges/i-Pod cases/wallets, and a load of artists. I presume there'll be another section on the ground floor for misc. anime and other fandom merch too. If you want to attend the panels though, make sure you get a good ticket. As soon as they go on sale, I'm getting the 20% Cooler (?) one so that I can get in relatively early and listen to all the musicians and things.
I would go but damn my non-brony parents seeing as im only 15 and its about a 1h 35m train ride from where I am.
It sounds like ya had an awesome time! Wasn't there an arcade Dance game, hacked for pony songs? I'll be attending for two main purposed- To buy Brushable ponies for my beautiful collection (and perhaps some shirts), and to meet you guys, of coarse! You guys're so awesome, and I need ta speak with ya in person!
applied for a volunteer spot. Guest team. But i dout I will get it. Hope i do though so if i do hope to see peeps there if not then next year...
Yeah I got a video of Foxytail and Tyro having a dancing duel on it. Also I've heard certain things from the BUCK Facebook page and staff that the VA of certain pink/pink and yellow ponies might be attending this year....
http://www.buckcon.org/tickets/ BUCK tickets on sale guys! Get them while they're hot! I've got mine for sure! @Grey Well last year it was me, you, Foxy, Tyro, and Merri. You, me, Foxy and Merri have all retired from the staff, so it looks like it'd be all up to a plucky red fox if he's going this year. Whiiiich doesn't really equate to enough people anyway.
They're bloody expensive... They weren't that much last year, where they? I'm sure they've gone up in price...
The 20% Cooler ones have gone up massively, but I think that's because of some of the more high status guests you'll be seeing at the lunch and stuff. The standard ones are definitely worth it, take it from experience, they're only £10 more for more vendors than last year, better decor, more space, the auditorium is being used rather than the conference room, and there'll be more awesome guests and people.
Wtf!! Only an HOUR and 35minutes!? You, my friend, are soso lucky. If i was you i would run like it was a jail break, buy a train ticket and get my buttox over to that convention. I do not condone running away though. Lol :3 just that convention is thousands of miles from me :/
Heh, don't care much for special guests anywho. xD That's not the reason I'll be there. Hey, any of you guys planning on attending on the Friday? I'm not sure whether I will be... Depends, I do guess
well, I'm 2 and half hour long FLIGHT and additional 4 hour train ride away. Anyway, @DoDo: I'll come to UK on Thursday, so I'll defiantly be around on Friday, so we can hang out. Although, I don't know yet what will be going on on Friday. I hope some pre-party.
I know you're all excited for BUCK. I just wanted to remind everyone that before the weekend of the Convention (24/25th) we have the Summer Sun Celebration music-fest on the 23rd! Starting at 7PM, and costing just £15, we'll have 5 hours of music including live acts like Rainbow Crash, DJ sets from the likes of Tombstone, and a massive laser show from LaserPon3. This will all be held in the huge Manchester Central, opposite the Bridgewater! We have a website just for it: see http://summersuncelebration.co.uk for more details and a list of artists.
more news about buck Buck staff just announced on eurobronies.org that Cindy Morrow will be coming on BUCK. more info here: http://www.eurobronies.org/showthread.php?tid=181
Good Gravity Gravy! How have I forgotten to announce this? Have you seen some of the events at BUCK? Card Games, Doodling and the like? Notice the Smash Bros Brawl and Vintage Game Tables bit towards the bottom yet? Guess who's doing that? No, not them but my special speaker microphones are working perfectly. It's me. I'm running a little SSBB tourny and a stall where you can play with my Mega Drive and my Dreamcast for a bit if you get bored. Why? Because my Olimar skills need an arena! I mean, errm...A bit of light fun on Sonic 2 or something.
