Czequestria 2017 - Digital Frontier

[Melgarh]

Walking along the edge of digital world is our daily life nowadays. But we observe the thin line between our and the one-and-zero reality still from one side. How could it change our lives, when we decide to cross the digital border? What welcome would the digital Equestria inhabitants prepare for us?

Czequestria 2017 - DIGITAL FRONTIER!

When: 18.-20.8.2017 (LARP of Friday, convention itself on Saturday and Sunday)
Where: KD Krakov, Prague (more info)
Webpages: https://www.czequestria.cz/

Tickets: https://www.czequestria.cz/tickets/

Get ready for traditional MLP themed Friday LARP which is going to be different this year: it won't guide you to see the beauties of Prague as much as the last one but it'll prioritize the Role Play part. Will you help Sunset Shimmer to solve a friendship problem? We're counting on you!

Plus of course MLP weekend filled with fun, fans, guests and entertainment of all kind.

Guests? Guests! The very first one revealed!

Guests of various art professions are the adornment of all bigger social events and this year’s Czequestria won’t be an exception.

We are honored to introduce the first of our guests: the Slovak VA known to bronies for giving her voice to Pinkie Pie, Lenka Debnárová!

After finishing her studies at the university of musical acting she has been involved in dubbing as well as both radio and television moderation. Her voice brings many foreign characters to life, such as Padma Patil in Harry Potter or Stephanie Barnett in Big Bang Theory. Currently you can also see her on the biggest Slovak TV Markíza as a weather reporter.

The first “Czequestrian” from far, far away land!

 
As with anything complex, MLP:FiM was created by people of all walks of life. And thanks to these folks we’ve been able to experience the joy of this wonderful & mesmerizing TV show. And apart from the voice actors, it’s the script & lore writers that create the actual story for those characters. And even though there is now more than handful of those that have been involved with this show, there is only one that is quite more close to Czequestria than any other…
 
Without further ado, it is our utmost pleasure to welcome book & script writer and a person, that’s definitely no party pooper

M. A. Larson

Sadly due to these duties he won’t be able to participate in person (as you could’ve guessed from the picture bellow), but you won’t be spared of his voice as he will call in via Skype.

Charity auction: Hippotherapy is Magic!

 

As tradition dictates, Czequestria 2017 - like almost every brony conventions  - will feature a charity auction! This year, we will be supporting a more equine cause - Hippotherapy , which is a form of Equine-assisted therapy. A close contact with the animals positively affects patient's motor skills, coordination and balance. Haven't you ever thought hugging equines could be magical?

 

Anypony can donate a mlp-related item to the auction and all the money will go to support the above mentioned magical thing.

For more information (also how to donate) see https://www.czequestria.cz/charity-auction/

Trotting here from distant land: Przewalski’s Ponies

If you’ve already visited Czequestria at least once, you will surely remember the brony music band which comes to visit us every year and always brings beautiful songs to every pony at the con. This year we are proud to announce that Przewalski’s Ponies are returning once again! Now we’re looking forward to not just to listen to their songs, but also towards the reunion with our long-time-no-see friends.

Przewalski’s Ponies – Andy Feelin (bass guitar), 4/3 know also as Chord (guitar) and Velvet R. Wings (harp, vocal, percussion) – will present a new acoustic feature with Celtic harp. Old songs, new sound! Also Velvet R. Wings will perform her new songs by her solo project ILLUMNATION.

Find & listen to their music online at https://przewalskisponies.bandcamp.com and on YouTube.

You can also find them as @PrzPwnies on Twitter, at https://vk.com/przewalskis or Facebook.

Special guest from the machine realm: Sweetie Bot project

We are excited to announce the attendance of a team behind the real life pony robot – the Sweetie Bot project! These guys are building a robot that looks and acts like an Equestrian pony.

Don’t miss the panel presentation where four team members: disRecord, mutronics, Renha and Zuviel, will tell you about the latest news of the project and answer the questions from the audience.

They will also bring a working prototype, so don’t forget to come to their table to give a brohoof to Sweetie! Here are few words from them:

«Sweetie bot Project is a small team of enthusiastic brony engineers from Russia interested in ponies and robots and working together on the concept and realization of Sweetie Bot.

Our mission is to take advantage of high tech magic to bring ponies into life in the robot form. We believe that in future humans and pony robots will be able to be friends and live together in peace and harmony.»

Be sure to check the http://sweetiebot.net and YouTube channel for the latest news and updates! Also the article about their current progress has been recently published on Equestria Daily.
