Did you feel an extra… something in the air in Baltimore this weekend? You’re not crazy–this weekend, our fair city was full of the high-pitched sound of tweens screaming in unison, as well the disconcerting sight of a bunch of adults dressed up like cartoon ponies.
Don’t be surprised if you notice an influx of rainbow wigs and unicorn horns around town this weekend (August 2 – 4) . That’s just BronyCon 2013, the convention for teenage and adult fans of the cartoon TV show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. (The focus is usually on the guys, but gals are a part of this subculture too.) This is the first year the event will be hosted at the Baltimore Convention Center.
