Long Time, No Post

I know, I know I've been MIA from my blog for WAY too long and I apologize for not posting! I've had a lot on my plate lately and haven't had any time for ponies. In fact, I've only managed to log onto the MLPArena and TP about once every two or three weeks since July. This is a big deal for someone who used to religiously check both forums daily (Yes, I am THAT awesome!)

Anyway, I did attend the Cinci meet in July and had a great time. I need to give a delayed shout out to all the collectors who organized that event. You all are great!

I have somehow haphazardly managed to purchase a slew of new MLP products. Mostly, I end up throwing a few new items into my cart while on trips to Target or Wal-mart buying toilet paper or other random necessities. I did purchase the Junko Mizuno art pony online from Hasbro toyshop, but other than that, my online purchases, trades, and other pony dealings have been nonexistent.

It's difficult to get into the pony mindset when space is VERY limited and you're being pulled in so many other directions, but I'm determined to get back on track soon.

3rd Annual Cincinnati Pony Meet Will Be Held August 1st

If you happen to be located in the Midwest and want to get together with fellow collectors to buy, sell, trade, and discuss ponies you're in luck! The Cincy MLP Collectors are holding the 3rd annual Cincinnati Pony Meet on Saturday August 1st. Details can be found on their official message board or you can follow the updates on this MLPArena thread.

I know several of the girls who are planning the event and they are really great! At the moment I'm tentatively planning on attending and will be bringing book copies to sign and sell for anyone who might be interested.

Las Vegas Recap!

I had a terrific time at the 2009 My Little Pony Collector's Convention in Las Vegas. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by and introduced themselves to me at my booth, purchased a book, or shared their thoughts about the My Little Pony Inventory Collector's Inventory series. You all are awesome! I met some really great people including Pandorarose who runs the My Little Pony Talk weekly radio program, and some adorable little girls who were so excited to get their copies of my books signed that they were jumping up and down. Plus it was great spending time with some longtime friends. Going to these events year after year starts to feel a little like going away to summer camp.

I took plenty of photos for the scrapbook, bought an entire set of Mountain Boy Ponies from Ashlyne, picked up the gorgeous Peacock Art Pony exclusive, won a giant blank Pony Project Pony in the MLPFair raffle, and scored some freebies from both the MLPTP and MLPArena booths. If you get a chance to attend The My Little Pony Fair Collector's Convention in 2010 you should definitely go!

Las Vegas 2009!

I've been totally neglecting this blog, but I have valid reasons! Over the past couple of weeks I've been getting ready to make the big move from Virginia to Indiana. In addition to packing up the minimum I need to survive (aka what will fit in my Xterra), I had to pack up my classroom and lug all of my teaching materials home and single handedly transfer them to our basement. This involved a bit of maneuvering as some of the boxes almost outweighed me. On the bright side, I have some definite arm definition going on. It's going to be interesting to see how things go over the next few weeks as I won't have access to my ponies or other possessions until either we sell our Virginia house or I go over the edge. We have movers lined up to pack and transport everything, but we figured why pay storage fees when there is a house available. So wish me luck as I live out of plastic storage tubs in a studio apartment over the summer.

Back to the topic of ponies...

I will be in Las Vegas this weekend for the annual MLPFair Collector's Convention. I'm on the schedule of events for book signings both days, but will also have booth space where my books will be sold and people can stop by and chat ponies, pony guides, or whatever.

I'm flying out on Thursday morning and will be meeting up with the "Lafayette Girls" (Mary and Amber) to check out the sites before the weekend. It should be a great time!

Pony Takeover!

My G1 box is overflowing with accessories and ponies and since the Fair is in Vegas this year, I am limited on what I can take with me to the event. I have an assortment of G1 ponies, hard to find pony accessories including FT toothbrushes and toothpastes, mommy charms, a bait lot and more that need new homes! Check out photos and descriptions and details HERE. My loss is your gain.

I usually ship in bubble mailers for less expensive shipping and will be happy to get shipping quotes once an order is made. If you are interested in anything, please let me know via email.

Edited 5-27-09 To everyone who as sent me PMs last night and today, I am taking all the items asked about to the Post Office tonight to have them weighed and to get shipping quotes. Some items have multiple requests and will be offered to the first person who reponded and then the second if it becomes available etc. I'll be sending out PMs to detail this along with shipping quotes hopefully tonight (If not, then tomorrow). I've also updated the item descriptions on Flicker to reflect what is On Hold. There are still plenty of bargains available, so have a look. :)

Countdown to MLPFair 2009!

This year's My Little Pony Fair Collector's Convention is only a month away and collectors from near and far are getting ready for this annual event. This year's two day convention is being held at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas. Start saving your extra cash as there is sure to be something that will catch your fancy at the multiple vendor booths. Not to mention, this year's gorgeous MLPFair exclusive Peacock Art Pony will be available to attendees for purchase.

If you are planning on purchasing a copy of one of the MLP Collector's Inventory books at the event, please let me know via comment, or PM at the TP or Arena so I can be sure that my publisher ships enough copies for everyone.

Also, I just finished being interviewed on My Little Pony Talk. I'm certain I rambled a bit, but it wasn't that bad. If you'd like to download the show to listen, you can click HERE.

My Little Pony Talk Interview This Friday!

I've been asked to be a guest on My Little Pony Talk radio this Friday night at 9:00p.m. I'll be answering questions about the My Little Pony Collector's Inventory books I've written as well as anything else that is thrown my way. I've been told they'll be doing a standard interview and then will open the call lines to take questions from listeners as well as ask questions from Arena and TP members on the MLP message boards. Should be a good time as I'm almost certain to stammer and say something ridiculous.

The show will be live, but will also be available to download through itunes.

Check it out: May 22nd at 9:00 p.m. on My Little Pony Talk Radio
