RTX JournalIt was coming, only a matter of time.
So RTX 2012 was my first convention ever, and it was a great first experience! The thing that amazed me the most was that people recognized me. Some people wanted me to sign stuff and even take pictures with them. I was not expecting that at all!
I had tonnes of fun meeting awesome people from the community, walking the exhibit hall, and attending and being on panels.
Speaking of panels, I attended the Mega 64 and part of the Achievement Hunter one. I was also on three; The AH Community Panel: How to Break Into the Community, Internet Box, and My Little Pony. This was also my first time speaking in front of a group of people that large (around 250 people per).
The AH Community one was great! I'm glad lots of people showed an interest in making community videos for Achievement Hunter. I look forward to seeing all the new videos that will hopefully come through.
The Internet Box podcast was totally awesome. It was the first time Michael, Lindsay, Barbara, Ray, Dylon, and MisterSir had all met in person. The room was filled with amazing fans, especially the guys that made IB quote shirts and wore them! We even got gifts from some people.
Here's the lineup for the IB panel:
And a view of the crowd:
Now for the My Little Pony panel...
That was something for sure. We still had fun and everything, and had some great sing-alongs, but... What. The. Fuck. The crowd was, I guess the best words to describe them would be obnoxious and rowdy. Not the way to behave at a panel. We seriously thought they might riot or something. I highly doubt there will be another MLP panel next year.
Thanks to the guardians that ran the panel rooms and pretty much the entire event! We really couldn't have put these things on without you.
250 obnoxious Bronies:
As I said though, it wasn't all bad. Shout out to the guy that gave me a Rainbow Dash cupcake!
Huge thanks to everyone that gave me stuff. Seriously, I was not expecting that even in the slightest.
And an extra special thanks to LaRugh! She gave me the Fluttershy ID card (which I wore the entire event), light-up Fluttershy, and the Pinkie Pie remote controlled car. 
See you next year!

Glad you had fun. Wish I could have been there.
The pony panel was....probably in need of more planning than just mostly videos. I know you tried to talk about stuff, but there's only so much you can talk about to a room of people with different favorites. If you do try it again, maybe try a smaller group.

audio doesnt actually start working till 39 min in
seems like you had no idea what you were doing. I went to a MLP Panel at Youmacon where all they had was a PowerPoint presentation and gave out prizes at the end. Everyone was well behaved and it was an awesome panel to go to.

It was funny, but it was also incredibly awkward. Also, Mike, for what it's worth, thank you for not punching me in the face when I sat down to eat with you guys at the hotel Fridays. You dudes were super nice to me, and I was half-worried that I was coming off as a mouth breathing fangirl the entire time we hung out.
It's cool to meet people you know from the media in real life, and -even cooler- to know they're actually cool people and not complete d-bags off camera.

Had a lot of fun waiting in line for that panel, though. Met some cool random people and got a game of Cards Against Humanity going while we waited. Good times.
