Only a 4 hour drive... I can make that! :D
This could be my first pony con!
But I need alot of planning first. But I had to do that for another con I did, so I could manage that.
OOo~! I could probably go!

Brushie!
It seems like just the other day, Andrew W.K. announced his similarities to Pinkie Pie, now here he is heading to a convention. The pony bug sure is quick working these days.
We also have Lee Tockar joining him on the Canterlot Gardens roster. I wonder if Snips and Snails will be joining Trixie for a comeback episode in season 3? (She better make a comeback!).
And finally, Sherclop from Friendship is Withccraft will be holding a Q&A at the con for all you Friendship is Witchcraft fans. Hopefully with more Sweetie Bot!
Check out the full press release after the break!
Andrew W.K. Officially Brings The Party To Canterlot Gardens! Plus: Friendship is Witchcraft, and Lee Tockar. The Epic Tale Of Canterlot Gardens, Part 1.
Action!
It's official - Andrew W.K., the real life embodiment of Pinkie Pie herself will be appearing at the Canterlot Gardens convention this September, and he's bringing more than just his party. Andrew will be doing a panel specifically dedicated to all of the fans of Friendship Is Magic - We cannot even express how excited we are for his seminar. It will surely rock! Check out the description below:
In The Flesh: What Would Pinkie Pie Do?
Presenters: Andrew W.K.
Party party party, she wants to have a party! Pinkie Pie is certainly a party animal, but what happens when you can't be a candy-colored pony in an Equestrian world? We break the fourth wall to present Andrew W.K., the artist behind hits "She Is Beautiful" and "Party Hard", to answer the dire question: What Would Pinkie Pie Do? Join us for a look into how to make your job as fun as your party, and your party as important as your job.
Just as a reminder, pre-registration for Canterlot Gardens is open. In addition to Andrew W.K., we also have such guests as Tara Strong and Fighting Is Magic in attendance.
Round 2!
Sherclop Pones, the team behind Friendship is Witchcraft are now proud to announce that they will be at Canterlot Gardens. They will be holding a Q&A panel on our main stage, and we have good reason to believe they will also be bringing along some surprises as well. Our thanks go out to Griffin and Jenny for being such great members of the community!
Round 3!
Lee Tockar, voice of both Snips and Steven Magnet, is one VA that we are proud to add to our ranks. Yes, Tockar will be at Canterlot Gardens as one of our premier VA's, and of course present for panels and autograph signings.
Bonus Round!
If that's not enough news to make your head spin, we have a few fan VA's that we've been itching to announce for quite a while now. Check it out:
Kira Buckland A.K.A. Rina-chan of EQLA, Skullgirls (Voice of Bloody Marie), Fighting is Magic (Voice of Mayor Mare), HotDiggedyDemon's .mov series, and Castle Crashers (Medusa, Princesses) fame.

Well have a nice, big bucket of fun Anya :3!
I don't know that we've worked out the entire guest list for attendance, but we ought to announce the full listing as soon as that's possible. I do know that a fairly large number of team members will be in attendance at this one, however, as I will also be making an appearance. It would be cruel of me to deny my adoring fans my presence.
I really really really want to go, but it's going to be hard because I start college in August and I'd have to figure out my schedule quickly. Is there anyway to be put on the "tentative" list?
I will be there obviously lol. You will see me running around I will not be on the panel as I have a convention to run.
Canterlot Gardens Announces The Great Cathy Weseluck, Voice of Mayor Mare and Spike! That's not all - D.C. Douglas, Cristina Vee, and more! The Epic Tale Of Canterlot Gardens, Part 2.
That's right! Cathy Weseluck - The voice of both Mayor Mare and Spike will be in attendance at Canterlot Gardens this September 28th through 30th in Strongsville, Ohio. It was fantastic working with her to coordinate this appearance, and we can assure that her presence will only increase the warm vibe at our convention! Meet Cathy for autographs, and of course make sure to see her during our VA panel.
Today we are also proud to announce that we will have D.C. Douglas in attendance. D.C. Douglas is perhaps best known for his work portraying Wesker from the Resident Evil series, and upcoming Resident Evil 5, not to forget in games such as Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. He is also known as the voice of Legion in the Mass Effect series, his appearance on Workaholics, Raven in the Tekken and Street Fighter Vs. Tekken series, and even as Chase in Transformers: Rescue Bots. Douglas' work in voice acting is so dense that we cannot even cover all the great things he has done. We'll simply leave you with this.
Joining D.C. Douglas this September is Cristina Vee - Most recently known as the voice of Cerebella in the hit game Skullgirls. Cristina Vee has been a big figure in the voice acting community over the years, having also voiced Noel Vermillion in the Blazblue series, in addition to Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Oh, and did we forget to say that she even portrays Mio Akiyama in 'K-On!'?
Both D.C. Douglas and Cristina Vee will be available for autographs, and other soon-to-be-announced surprises!
In more community-related news, Legends of Equestria are officially going to be present at Canterlot Gardens! Their game, a 3d MMORPG, will be shown off at the Gardens along with other special events! In addition to that, we suspect that they may just be doing a panel, and showing off their progress since inception as Equestria Online.
Finally, musician news! Forest Rain, known for his work on numerous community driven projects, will also be in appearance at our convention for a live musical performance. Forest Rain will be performing songs from his huge library of work, and we hear that he is going to have the support of Decibelle joining him on stage.
Please keep up to date with Canterlot Gardens by joining us on our forums, and of course @canterlotgrdns on Twitter! See you next week!

The entire event was a blast, and we can't believe how many people made it out to play the game.

Nicole has been so enthusiastic about our event, so we owe her many thanks. Much like the other VA's, she will be available for panels, autographs, and more fun and interaction that we promise to provide at Canterlot Gardens.
Furthermore Grey Delisle, perhaps best known as Betty and Linda on the Powerpuff Girls, Wonderwoman on the upcoming Faust project Super Best Friends Forever, Oyuki in Afro Samurai, Vicky in the Fairly Oddparents, the Female Wizard in Diablo III, Mandy in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Frances, Duchess, and Goo in Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Catwoman in Arkham City, and many voices in the Misadventures of Flapjack, Chowder, Harvey Birdman, and even the Mass Effect series. Not to forget that she did the voice of the Ice Queen in the rule 63 episode of Adventure Time, Fionna and Cake.
Psst, by the way... Did you see Andrew W.K.'s new limited parody t-shirt? http://andrewwk.com/store#ecwid:category=271394&mode=product&product=13489298 Oh, that guy... He's one brony that knows how to party hard. We were as surprised to see this one as anyone else.

I'm going. You all jelly? ovO
I like jelly!
I hope they livestream the event especially if they show off LoE some more, although even if they don't someone else is bound to record it and put it on youtube. :D
Everfree Radio usually do livestreams of every major convention.
They did with Bronycon and Galacon.
The event will be livestreamed.
I'll try my diggity best to watch it.
And I will do my best to photobomb every shot!
Look for the big guy with a Lucario hat. :P

I can't go but I will watch it on livestream.......is there a livestream website for canterlot gardens? Anyways, if I miss it live, im sure the staff will post something on facebook like a recorded thing of it! I can't wait to see the new pony model.....I heard u guys were gonna make a new one when I watched galacon
I imagine EverFree Radio will provide Livestream coverage, as they did with Galacon and Bronycon, also EFR is listed as a "partner" on the CG website, so that makes it even more likely to handle livestreaming.
In 1 week... we get our next content release when CG comes. Can't wait :3
nothing happens in washington DD:
why cant 1 pony thing happen hear ovO :c
Nothing exciting ever happens in Cali :c
Maybe through some sort of clever planning and hard work we can make something happen in Cali!
Oh, what a world, another pony event that i'll miss... Someday, someday
Will you guys be there on Saturday to. I'm gonna go but on Saturday and Sunday X3
We have people covering our table all three days from 10 am to the evening.
