BABSCon - RSS Feed

1. This year, we need to keep safe from the alien organism from planet COVID-19. Everypony needs to mask up while in con space and have their proof of vaccination ready upon arrival. Read and follow our COVID Protocols to keep you and everypony else healthy.
2. Also, have those Digital Proofs of Vaccination (or approved alternative) ready for the reg staffer when you pick up your badge. No one likes LineCon.
3. You can read our Con Book in handy-dandy PDF form on your supercomputer or space-PADD of choice. (i.e.Readable on any computer, mobile device, or the ebook-reader.)
4. Our Schedule of Events, just in case you'd rather browse it on the website rather than read a PDF.
5. This year’s theme: BABSCon…and BEYOND! (or, put another way for a different reference, Ponies…in…SPAAAACE!) We're exploring past the final frontier, our own limits, and even a bit beyond ponies themselves. We'll avoid weird monoliths, tho. Encounters with those never end well. 
6. Da Rules™. Here's our Code of Conduct. Learn it, love it, live it.
7. Our Vendor Area. Plan where to spend all your bits, credits, or gold-pressed latinum…ALL OF THEM!
8. 6-2-1. "What's 6-2-1?" we hear you ask. Simple…for every day of the con, every attendee (or staffer) should get at least: 6 hours of sleep, 2 nutritious meals, and 1 shower. AT. LEAST. No, a Red Bull and some Cheetos doesn't qualify as a "nutritious meal." People collapsing of exhaustion, low blood sugar, or dehydration don't have a lot of fun. And people who don't shower make things far less fun for everyone around them. So…6-2-1. Got it, space cowboy?
9. Stay Hydrated! In the same vein as 6-2-1 above, look for hydration stations and water service stations throughout the con space and the hotel to fill your water bottles and stay healthy & shiny.
10. ENJOY BABSCon 2022!!

Sabrina has done incredible work as a storyboarder, writer, and director on some of the best animated shows of our time, notably Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and current Disney hit, The Owl House.

Needless to say, if you aren’t watching these shows along with your regular dose of MLP, you need to add them to your media diet. You’ll thank us later. They’re also about to publish a book collecting their wonderful steampunk webcomic, The Glass Scientists.

Sabrina joins Guests of Honor Nicole Oliver, Grey DeLisle-Griffin, Vincent Tong, Peter New, Devyn Dalton, Elley-Ray Hennesy, Brian Doe Chua, Andy Price, Jeremy Whitley, and Dana Simpson, with one more yet to come.

We all know her best as Mistmane from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but she’s been acting on screen and in voice roles going back to The Care Bears in 1986 as Proud Heart Cat and Garbage Pail Kids in 1988 as numerous characters. Lady’s got range.

Also, she might have some surprises coming for us at con, and if you know her, you know her surprises are crazy amounts of fun.

To call Grey a star of animation doesn’t do her justice. Roles such as Azula in Avatar: the Last Airbender; Lady Briarwood in The Legend of Vox Machina; Asajj Ventress and Padmé Amidala in Star Wars: Clone Wars; the titular Mandy on The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy; Lana, Lola, and Lily Loud in The Loud House; and the iconic Daphne Blake in Scooby-Doo (since 2000), plus her over 1,500 other roles, should be enough to cement her bona fides. “But why invite her to a con focused on Friendship is Magic?” we hear you ask.

In part, because a VA of her stature loved MLP so much, she freely donated her voice to the fan animation, “Epic Rage Time,” as Derpy. In part, because she’s BFFs with Tara Strong and has worked so often with folks like Tara, Lauren Faust, and others that she’s practically family: Wonder Woman in DC Super Hero Girls to Tara’s Batgirl & Harley Quinn (creator: Lauren Faust, story editor: M.A. Larson, with episodes by G.M. Berrow & Cindy Morrow), Frankie Foster in Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends (produced & story-edited by, and character based on Lauren Faust), evil babysitter Vickie to Tara’s Timmy Turner in Fairly Oddparents, Puppycorn to Tara’s Unikitty in Unikitty, twins Todd & Ty McNulty to Tara’s Dil Pickles in Rugrats…you get the idea.

Grey joins Guests of Honor Nicole Oliver, Vincent Tong, Peter New, Devyn Dalton, Brian Doe Chua, Andy Price, Jeremy Whitley, and Dana Simpson, with a couple more yet to come.

In addition to playing the arborous camp counselor from Equestria Girls, Brian has also voiced Osamu Mikumo on World Trigger, Gabe Brunai & Katana Sakaki on Beyblade Burst, and more. 

He’s also started getting some juicy on-camera roles with guest appearances on CW’s Supergirl and Fox’s Wayward Pines, among others.

We in the MLP fandom know Devyn best as the sweet and timid changeling, Ocellus on Friendship is Magic, but she’s something of a shapeshifter in the rest of her career as well. (And extremely sweet, but not so much with the timid.)

She’s done other voice work, notably Shasa on Beyblade Burst and Zia in Barbie’s Rock ‘n’ Royal Movie. She’s appeared on-screen as Púca in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, the Angriest Boy in the World on Legion, and as Tabby in Netflix’s Hypnotic, among others.

Even more impressive is her lengthy resume of motion capture roles and stunt performance. She played Cornelius in War for the Planet of the Apes, Cornelia in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and has done stunt work for Stephen Spielberg in The BFG, all over the Arrowverse, in A Series of Unfortunate Events, Resident Alien, and in so many more.

Devyn joins Guests of Honor Nicole Oliver, Daniel Ingram, Vincent Tong, Peter New, Andy Price, Jeremy Whitley, and Dana Simpson, with more yet to come.

(Watch Daniel’s awesome announcement video here!)

It is impossible to overstate Daniel’s impact on the My Little Pony franchise. He wrote every single song in Friendship is Magic, Equestria Girls, and My Little Pony: The Movie. All of Them. From “Apples to the Core” to “Winter Wrap-Up,” from “Awesome as I Want to Be” to “Welcome to the Show,” it’s all him. Every time you’ve belted out “The Smile Song” or “Hearts as Strong as Horses,” you should be thanking him if you aren’t already. Oh, and he also worked on a few other little shows like Littlest Pet Shop, Martha Speaks, and others. No big thing.

Daniel joins our other Guests of Honor: Nicole Oliver, Andy Price, Peter New, and Vincent Tong, with many more yet to come!

So register now, think about volunteering for us, and don’t forget to book your hotel room to jam with Daniel and our other guests April 15–17 by going to BABSCon…AND BEYOND!
