Chris's artwork based on the convention.

Everfree NW (Everfree Northwest) was a My Little Pony convention held in Bellevue, Washington, from the 13th to 15th of August 2021. Chris intended to go, however, Everfree Northwest blacklisted him from attending and revoked his ticket during the fallout of the incest call, a leaked conversation in which Chris admitted to having incestuous relations with his mother, and, in any case, he was in jail while the con took place.

Part of Chris's planned trip was going to be to get Kiwi Farms users to chaperone Chris in order to prevent him from getting into trouble or possibly running into any potentially dangerous A-Logs (I.e., Jacob Sockness). In a sad twist of irony, Chris could've actually found a boyfriend-free girl at the convention, as "The Suitress" was set to be one of these watchers and genuinely had a romantic interest in Chris, but unfortunately, Chris was too interested in his own mother at that point.

Funding

Hey, everyone. I’m just about good to go for @EverfreeNW, but I need a few extra bits to make sure I eat well over the weekend, support the artists, and all other details, please.

In June 2021, Null announced on the Kiwi Farms that Chris was planning to take the approximately 41-hour drive to attend the convention.[2] Null, however, had arranged for Chris to take a plane flight instead, with funding for the trip and additional expenses being provided to GoFundMe in exchange for Chris having to complete commissioned artwork and video requests for the contributors.

On 9 July 2021 Null started the GoFundMe fundraiser with a goal of $1,000 with the plan that any extra funds would go towards any emergency expenses. The page featured a video Chris uploaded to promote the campaign as well as a couple of paragraphs outlining how the money would be spent and details about the reward commissions. [3]

The fundraiser surpassed its initial goal of $1,000 within 6 hours of the campaign starting and managed to reach a total of $5,085 on 13 July 2021 before it was closed for further donations.[4]

Chris released the first public shout-out video, Paid Shout Out to Lifeguard Hermit, on 9 July 2021, followed by Chris Chan's shoutout to JoSona6 on 14 July, which was released for public viewing by its requester.

Following the incest call being leaked and Chris stealing $750 from Barbara's bank account, on 31 July, Null posted an update to the GoFundMe page stating he would be returning all of the donations and that the GoFundMe page was in-part a test to see if Chris could handle completing commissions, with the hope that it be a way for Chris to reach financial stability in the future. Null has since then cut all direct contact he had with Chris.

Cosplay

On 11 July 2021, Chris posted to Twitter stating that he would be hoping to cosplay as CPU Blue Heart during the convention. He also stated that he would be willing to pay a costume designer for the cosplay to be assembled, implying that money from the initial $1,000 fundraiser would've been used to pay for it. The cosplay apparently would have included a one-piece torso outfit, shin guards, and the Commodore Wings.[5]

Chris stated a day later on Twitter that he had supposedly found a person willing to design some parts of the cosplay, however, that he was still in need of someone to design the one-piece torso part of the cosplay.[6]

The problem, of course, is the fact that high quality cosplay outfits usually take a while to make, and that they are even more difficult to create when they are made remotely, away from the person who would need to be fitted into the uniform. Given that Chris had regularly stretched the truth about his obesity problem in the past, and the short notice that the outfit would have been made on, the results would have likely been far from ideal.

Since the incest call was leaked and Chris was arrested on charges of incest, whether the unnamed designer Chris had found actually produced any pieces of the cosplay is unknown, although if pieces of the cosplay did exist at one point, it can be assumed that it has since been scrapped or repurposed into another outfit.

Blacklisted from attending

#EFNW takes attendee safety seriously. While we don't publicly discuss the standing of specific indivudals with the con, reported incidents of violent acts against the vulnerable are never ignored. Rest assured that we'll always take appropriate action to protect our community.

On July 30th, after a disturbing call was leaked in which Chris admitted to having sexual intercourse with his own mother, Barbara Chandler, Everfree Northwest decided to blacklist Chris from attending by revoking his attendance ticket, or in other words, silently banning him from the convention. They would later put out an official statement to Twitter regarding their commitment to safety; it didn't mention Chris by name, but nevertheless was clear they were at least somewhat aware of the situation.

Chris was arrested on August 1, which meant that even if he weren't blacklisted, he would ultimately not attend. Notably, the con was also streamed online, which means Chris could have at least watched it from home.
