Nightmare Nights Dallas sent us a press release and as this con is of special interest to me, so I thought I'd do them a favor and post it. It's this November, and there are some pretty big names attached. Check past the break for the details.
Nightmare Nights Announces Foalpapers
Nightmare Nights, held
in Dallas from November 8th through the 10th,
is proud to announce a Community Guest! If you’re one of the pony folk active
on Twitter, chances are you’ve heard of him: The British gent with the
classicist bent, Foalpapers! Foaly will be presenting an abstract of his
graduate thesis, which deals with Classical themes in My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic. If you’re embarrassed to tell your family and friends that
you’re heading to a Pony Con for the weekend, you can always tell them you’re
going to attend a symposium on Classical images and references in modern media!
Nightmare Nights Expands Vendor Space &
Opens an Artist Alley
We’re very grateful so
many talented artists of all stripes are so looking forward to selling their
work to our attendees (and our guests, and each other). However, we were a bit
taken aback when our Vendor Room sold out five months before the con. Still,
everything’s bigger in Texas, so we just moved it to a larger room! That’s
right: we now have an additional supply of vendor tables available for
purchase, first-come, first-served. In addition, we’re announcing the opening
of our Artist Alley! So, what’s the difference between the Vendor Room and the
Artist Alley? We’re glad you asked! The Artist Alley is less expensive, allows
tables to be rented by the day, and is open 24 hours a day. The catch is that
you cannot erect displays or backdrops behind your table, and you must accept
and work on commissions during the convention. Essentially, this gives artists
space to work on their commissions until the wee hours, if they so choose. It
also helps prevent the Vendor Room from becoming congested as attendees
describe the precise color shading of their OCs.
So join us this
November in Addison, Texas with the rest of our guests; Andrea Libman, Peter
New, Brenda Crichlow, Sabrina Alberghetti, Jim Miller, James Wootton, Mitch
Larson, Pixelkitties, and Sophie Cabra for a fantastic all-ages fan event!
