Seems that Equestria LA have been busy beavers ever since they sold out of tickets on August 24. This evening we received a rather lengthy press release from Equestria LA’s press relations team which contained a number of updates from the con staff. Perhaps most notably, for those bronies who failed to register before the event sold out, Equestria LA has extended their dates to two full days: November 3-4, 2012. As a result, Equestria LA has reopened registration (along with a general revision of their registration policy) and has reserved a block of rooms at a special rate for congoers at the Hilton Anaheim near the Anaheim Convention Center where the con will be held (for details on this, please look below the cut).
Additionally, Equestria LA has announced two additional guests: FiM writers Amy Keating Rogers (previously interviewed on TRS and featured in one of our previous Writer Appreciation Day articles), writer of “The Last Roundup” and “The Best Night Ever”, and Cindy Morrow, writer of “Winter Wrap-Up”, “Sisterhooves Social”, and “Hurricane Fluttershy” (among others). This will be Morrow’s first pony convention (Amy previously attended Bronycon 2012 and will be attending Canterlot Gardens at the end of this month).
Finally, for those of you too far away to head out there on your own, The Round Stable (co-)editor-in-chief KefkaFloyd will be attending EQLA and will be sure to report on the con when he returns!
[UPDATE] The EQLA crew wants to mention the following with regards to hotel rooms:
We sent out a link for our hotel room blocks last night. Currently, the link we were given works for the main night of our show, November 3. We’re working with the hotel to add additional nights at our convention rate to our reservation website as they become available. We’re also working to add additional nights without our convention rate to our reservation link for easier booking. In the meantime, you can secure additional dates surrounding our show by calling the Anaheim Hilton directly and mentioning Equestria LA.
As always, the nitty-gritty details of the press release sit below the cut!
