A thousand ‘Bronies’ headed to Brooklyn for ‘My Little Pony’ convention
Hotel rooms selling out for Ponycon 2015
Brooklyn Heights is bracing for an onslaught of ponies – and “My Little Pony” fans from all over the world.
The third annual Ponycon will be taking place at St. Francis College over the three-day Valentine’s Day weekend. Between 1,000 to 1,200 fanatics, many in costume, are expected to flood the convention’s panels, attend workshops, play games, meet voice actors and catch a sneak peak at the animated “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” season five trailer.
Hotel rooms set aside for the convention at the Super 8 Hotel in Park Slope are sold out, according to the event’s website. This reporter’s attempts to find a room at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge also met with failure.
