And wonderful mascots they were.

Gwendolyn (or Gwen for short) here was one of the mascots of MLPMSP, along with Snow Drift and Prarie Heart

The Minneapolis MLP convention (MSP is the St. Paul-Minneapolis airport).
 
It was a fairly small, but very fun convention that packed its hotel to the gills with artists, talent, and fans.
 
Because M.A. Larson is a local, the convention gets a little more talent I think than it might otherwise attract. For example, one year it was held the same weekend the 100th episode aired, so we got to see it with M.A. Larson adding behind the scenes commentary and throwing Pandas at the crowd while the core “Bronies React” cast helped.
 
The hotel never got the cake out of the rugs.
 
The whole thing was very cash.
 

I don’t know what mlpmsp is, but I like this bird.

Cute greeter bird.
