discoverychannelofficialSo, with much thought and a sad resolve, I must cancel BLFC.
Between the time off I get from my job and the money I make, I can only goto a certain number of cons. Right now that list is pretty damn big and I can not do all the cons I want to. :(
The choice was a combo of many reasons. BLFC would be the most complicated for me to get to mostly cause of where it's located. I'm not sure I could get free airline tickets, so I might have to spend a good $400 for transportation alone. The reason I can make the conventions I do is because they are local or in a city I can fly to for free. Same reason I can't attend AnthroCon or MWFF. The cost of ONE round trip ticket to Pittsburgh for example, is more then I spend at most conventions TOTAL. I have alot of expenses, including feeding and taking care of two people, rent, and car payments. The ONLY way I get away with attending the conventions I do is getting every bang for my buck. For example: FC will probably cost me about $300-400 total. If that.
So, because of the money and time aspect of my life, It limits how many conventions I can attend. They have to be spread out over the year pretty well too since I don't have the funds to save. BLFC would be in the spring and would share con resources with VancouFUR, ECCC and SakuraCon. That's quite alot of cons in a short period of time.
Because of this is why I now bring up BronyCAN. After EFNW13, I realized I need to attend more brony events. EFNW was amazing. Probably the best convention I've ever been too. Since BronyCon in MD is too expensive and far away, I decided to go with the next best thing. BronyCAN. I'm gonna take my cash and resources for BLFC and put them into attending BronyCAN next year. It's a hop skip and jump from VF, so I could simply drive there.
I hate having to be all conjelly again about BLFC after this year. SO many people had SUCH an amazing time at BLFC that I really wanted to make a go at it. But from how I can see right now, I won't be able. But, since I can't predict the future, something might happen to let me go. I had to choose between the two. Sucks having too, but 8 conventions is one year is TOO MUCH. I really can't afford it. :( My limit is about 7.
So, sorry furries, but yey bronies! See you ponies in Vancouver next year! :)

i really wana make it BLFC some year or MFF or AC or FCN, etc
it all really comes down to money doesn't it?
for me where i am in Canada is far from most USA cons
i havnt been to any USA cons yet only local Canadian ones
i herd bronycon is big and fun
FYI,
We got 820 attendees this year, so it was quite sizable for a first year con.
