BroNYcon

On a whim, I realized I had nothing better to do, so I decided to go up to New York for the day and see if I couldn't get into this BroNYcon convention. I like going to conventions so this seemed like an infallible good idea at the time. It was going to be an adventure! This was about a week before Saturday January 7. By the middle of the week beforehand, I decided I was absolutely going to go to New York. And then I figured I'd buy a ticket Thursday. They were sold out at 650 tickets. Oh. This now begins to put the convention into the 'fun' category.  So it was decided that getting there early was a good idea Saturday morning.

Derpy keeps my backpack in order.

Saturday arrived and now I was required to get to New York. I armed myself with my Derpy Patched Backpack of Holding with some survival items (flares*, bagels, sketchpad, ponies, etc) and it was time to go. Getting to New York early meant getting up at 5:50am, leaving at 6 am, catching the bus at 6:30 am and then finally arriving at Hotel Pennsylvania at 9 am.
