    My sister was like 12 and it was her first convention. We flew in from Kansas City Missouri and she was basically the only child in attendance and was treated like a celebrity guest. The world's manliest brony carried her on his shoulders, the vendors gave her expensive merch for free, she was told to sit at a panel with the panel hosts and discuss pony lore, she was interviewed by Sam Swicegood and is the person in the pink hat in the front of the harlem shake.

    This con is the reason I met my husband!
    Two of my friends were going, and asked a local pony forum group if anyone else from [HOME STATE] would be there, and my future husband respond and agreed to meet up with them. The ensuing chaos and ruin of the con meant that they hung out as a group more then initially planned, and they became close by the end of the weekend. When they got back, my friends were like, hey we met this guy out in Vegas and he lives pretty close to you, you should totally date him. I met him like two weeks later, and although it took us forever to finally actually date, we became best friends pretty quickly. Every so often he'll reminisce about his fun trip to Vegas, then remember it was actually a really horrible pony convention and he'll cringe, but we'll always be fond of it that it serendipitously brought us together :3

    Oh god, Unicon, this was literally my first convention ever at 15. Words can't describe how excited I was to experience the community but never knew how bad it really was after the fact. Fortunately I documented the whole thing! I had gone partially as a regular attendee with PRESS passes accompanying Joseph Frye filming his Unicon recap, seen at 9:06, I still remember filming this cosplayer as well as the Cali Bronies flag at 15:10.
    We had no clue this was happening as we went around filming and interviewing the cosplayers, voice actors, and those horse-famous in the community. I even remember talking to Sandi on her scooter at one point outside the green room for the musicians when going to interview the VAs; yeaaa, she wasn't great.
    The celebrity dinner was an absolute nightmare by the way. I had paid $200 to have dinner with Cathy Weseluck, however, they screwed up so badly that her table was full. Luckily MicTheMicrophone got me a table with Lee Tockar which was great, and both Peter New & Andrew Francis left their tables to join as well for a moment which leads to some goofs in my vlog, very memorable.
    It's all in my recap vlog if anyone is interested in seeing what the dinner was kinda like. Genuinely a crazy first con experience, though honestly one of the best nights of my life getting to eat with the musicians after the concert had ended when I was both tired and miserably sick catching a bad cough there, and it absolutely made my night.
    It goes to show Bronies are some of the best people out there in communities.

    Pan never gets enough credit for the editing in these live-action videos, all the clips from cartoons and movies timed to tie in with the things he's talking about add a lot to the humour.

    It sounds like their main problem was that they started too big. With a first year con, you can't expect big crowds so you need to be modest with what you offer. Side note, Vegas does have a lot of family-friendly stuff (in fact, in the 90s they tried to rebrand as a good place for family vacations) so I don't think location was a big issue.
