Have you ever wanted to watch me:

Excessively gesticulate with my hands

Trip over my words

Laugh nervously at my own jokes

Chug Red Bull at 9am

Wear an outdoor jacket inside pretending it’s a suit jacket

Talk in this peculiar half-Mancunian-half-BBC accent because I’m trying to sound like Stephen Fry but I’d been in Manchester all weekend

Have not shaved for five days and it really shows

WELL HERE IT IS ANYWAY

HACKD LIVE AT BUCK 2014 CADENCE STAGE

Want to see a video of me being a jackass in front of a mostly seated audience at like 10:30am over in England? You'll notice that- while trying to MC and DJ at the same time- I inadvertently loaded Back Alley on top of the deck playing Maverick which (is definitely one of the worst mistakes you can make lmao) actually isn't as bad as I remember it being in the moment. Which is really cool because it sort of totally burned my confidence (thinking I made a super obvious error in front of what was still a relatively large crowd despite the time of the set) so it's relieving to see that it's funny more than anything. The "wowoknevermind" is kind of great. Also check them mad squid arms ahahaha.

Friendship is Magic has always had a very close fandom/staff relation, and as someone passionate about our cartoon pony show, you may not like something that happens or the way an episode plays out.  This doesn't mean you get to attack the staff behind it.  Don't be "that guy".  Complain in private.  Bombarding someone who traveled halfway across the world in a public panel scene just makes you look like an idiot.  Be respectful.  (source)

Dave Polsky versus a poorly phrased comment at BUCK 2014.

I'd like to point out that while a lot of people in this fandom and others get nerd ragey like this fellow, both in private and in public, the vast majority of the audience began supporting Polsky as soon as the question was done. And despite having been put on the spot and fumbling a bit, as anyone would, I think he handled this heckler with panache.

Here we have BUCK's closing ceremony :) First up were some awards, and then one gigantic sing a long at the end xD  I apologise for the camera work, I maaaaay have been bouncing it a little to get in time with the songs tempo at one point... and then sang along... Was absolutely brilliant and I can't wait for next years :)

POST-CON POST!

This has been the most intense week of my life.

A lot of things happened, and for the first time the good outweighed the bad. Many anecdotes were had at the convention, and all of them have been gathered in daily posts I made right after the day ended. If you want you can go visit these posts in their respective days down below these lines.

- DAY 1.

- DAY 2.

- DAY 3.

- DAY 4.

- DAY 5.

Aside from that, I did a ton of commissions, out of which I could only photograph a couple, sold a good amount of merchandise, and took a few pictures here and there. You can find both sets of pictures down below these lines!

- Commissions Post.

- Photos Post.

- SWAG Post.

Overall, BUCK was an amazing experience. I have no frame of reference though, since it's my very first Brony Convention. But what I saw, and what I experienced, was A+ Grade Class of Fun.

There is one thing that did surprise me about the whole convention.

We very frequently mock this fandom's motto, the whole "Love and Tolerance" thing and all that, and to be honest I rarely see it nowadays when I go online and I make the mistake of looking at the comments. But this past weekend I spent over 15 hours a day in that convention building, with 1000+ people, and I saw them walking around, talking, and not arguing or picking on each other. All I saw was the biggest group of weird, crazy, extreme, awesome, affable, lovely people just having fun and enjoying something with enough passion to light up the universe.

That, my friends, is priceless.

I've done it this one time, and I really want to do it again.

With this, I leave you all to get some well deserve sleep.

Goodnight everyone!
