Mane Events
The Grand Guzzling Gala
Our answer to the Grand Galloping Gala. Fancy dress, fancier punch, and a red carpet made of a hallway runner we definitely didn't steal from the hotel.
Ponystock Unplugged
Acoustic karaoke for the bravest ponies among us. The neighbors filed a friendship report. We regret nothing.
PMV Contest → PBR Contest
Bring your favorite pony music video. We'll bring the cheap beer. Judging criteria: enthusiasm, chaos, and how many times we all sang along.
Beer Pong Chess
Cosplay chess, but every capture is a sip of something 5% or less — never spirits. Checkmate responsibly.
The Dignity Auction
Our charity auction parody: bid embarrassing karaoke songs onto your friends. Proceeds actually go to a real charity jar, because we do have some dignity left.
Autographs with Whoever's Still Awake
Get your program signed by the last ponies standing. Supplies of coherent handwriting are limited.
Programming Notes
All drinking games use low-ABV drinks or water only — never Everclear mixes. Nopony is chugging 190 proof over a chessboard.
Every event has a sober "Designated Sylveon" host keeping an eye on the herd and the clock.
Quiet voices after midnight, please. The room next door contains a sleeping family of actual con-goers, and we respect the herd.
All species welcome: ponies, furries, and Pokémon alike — fursuit heads off during drinks, hydration applies to every fandom.
