Everfree Northwest
Everfree NW (Everfree Northwest) is a My Little Pony convention that is held in Bellevue, Washington, on 13–15 August 2021. In June 2021, Null announced on the Kiwi Farms that Chris was planning to take the approximately 41-hour drive to attend the convention.[1]
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. | ” |
Chris encouraging people to support the fundraiser on Twitter.[2] |
On 9 July 2021, After Chris was convinced by Null to fly to Washington instead, Null started a GoFundMe fundraiser with the goal of $1,000 so Chris could afford a roundtrip plane ticket to and from Washington. During this, Chris uploaded a video to promote the campaign. Those who pledged money to the fundraiser would receive shout-out videos and commissioned pieces of artwork from Chris at a later date.[3]
The fundraiser surpassed its initial goal of $1,000 and is currently at over $4,000 raised.
Chris released the first shout-out video, Paid Shout Out to Lifeguard Hermit, on 9 July 2021.
Cosplay
On 11 July 2021, Chris would post to Twitter stating that he would be hoping to cosplay as CPU Blue Heart during the convention. He would also state 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 be used to pay for it. The cosplay would include the one-piece torso outfit, shin guards, and the Commodore Wings.[4]
