| | 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. |
| BronyCon 2019 was the last BronyCon, taking place at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland from 1-4 [[August 2019]]. In the end, Chris survived BronyCon 2019 without incident. Surprising indeed.

|
| The only special thing about his visit to BronyCon 2019 was when he discovered [[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]], a fan-made shipping card game. After the convention was over, Chris would begin posting his own fan-made cards on [[Twitter]], being the successor of Chris's [[List of cards from The Wall of Originals#Custom Pokémon Cards|custom Pokémon cards]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh!#Custom Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards|Yu-Gi-Oh! cards]].
| | In total, Chris attended three BronyCons: |

| In July, Chris teased his attire for next month's BronyCon in two tweets.<ref>[[July 2019 social media posts#Chris leaves a mystery]]</ref><ref>[[July 2019 social media posts#Chris Makes a Pokégear]]</ref> Kiwi Farms soon deciphered that Chris would be cosplaying as [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Kris_(game) Kris], the female selectable protagonist of the video game ''Pokémon Crystal''. Considering Chris' [[Hair#Tomgirl hair|usual hack jobs when it comes to hair dye]], achieving such seaweed color would not prove too much of a challenge.

| ===Day 1===
| |
| In the early hours of 1 August, Chris made the journey to Baltimore, leaving at around 6:15 local time (EST) and arriving at around 10:45. The journey took Chris and [[Son-Chu]] about 4 hours and 30 minutes.

| ===Day 2===
| |
| On Day 2, Chris opted to wear his [[unicorn cosplay]].
| |
| | |
| ====All Star 3.0====
| |
| That morning, a Kiwi Farms user captured some covert footage within the convention:

| | |
| Eventually, they captured a video of Chris while [[All Star|Smash Mouth's ''All Star'']] plays in the background:

| |
| At first, Chris seems reluctant to join in with the singalong – perhaps, due to his [[Idea Guys|previous association with the song]]; however, from 0:54 onwards, he can be heard singing.

| | |
| ===="From the Matrix..." Panel====
| |
| On the evening of day 2, Chris attended the ''From The Matrix to Silence of the Lambs: Movies in Pony Voices'' panel,<ref>https://bronycon2019.sched.com</ref> which saw YouTube voice actors reenact famous movie scenes as MLP characters:
