| '''BronyCon''' is a yearly convention held by adult fans of [[My Little Pony]]. In August 2017, Chris drove all the way to Baltimore, Maryland, to visit the convention, staying for the full three days. While he was there, Chris took many pictures with some of the show's staff, as well as other fans. He also drew a new MLP/Sonichu drawing during his stay. | | '''BronyCon''' was a yearly convention held by ''bronies'', adult fans of [[My Little Pony]], each summer from 2011 to 2019. It was held annually at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland, beginning in [[2013]]. |

| Several fellow bronies from [[4chan]]'s /mlp/ board,<ref name=mlp>http://archive.is/lHRYe</ref> Twitter, and [[Kiwi Farms]] provided photos and reports on their sightings of Chris.

| Unlike the [[March 2012 Facebook Posts#Mythbusters|last event he went out-of-state to visit]] five years before, he did not bring [[Barb]] with him. One of his friends implied that she was helping Chris by promising to be on call for Barb if she needed help during the weekend.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/twitter-8-11-2017-chris-spotted-at-bronycon.33187/page-19#post-2507095 "a friend asked me to be on call for her mom while she is out of town."</ref>

| ==Day 3==
| | Chris had been a fan of the series [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE|years]] before then, yet he only began attending the conventions in [[2017]] as his interest in the children's cartoon deepened. He would continue to attend annually until ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', BronyCon's ''raison d'être'', ended its nine-year run in 2019 (despite Chris's [[June 2019 social media posts#Chris Spreads a Message from MLP Characters to Boycott the Upcoming Show|protests]]). Even with his [[Soft Exile|low regard]] among the MLP community, Chris has remained eager to congregate with his fellow fans. |
