Everfree Northwest Presents: Ponyville Live
Everfree Northwest has something exciting and new that anyone with an internet connection can attend! Our new podcast, Everfree Northwest Presents, will be having an interview with Silver Eagle the director of Ponyville Live and We Are Borg the associate director of Ponyville Live! The show will be hosted live this evening (6/1/14) at 10:30pm EDT (7:30pm PDT) on the EFNW Presents livestream channel and on Fillydelphia Radio .
What exactly is Everfree Northwest Presents?
EFNW Presents is the premier podcast of the Everfree Northwest convention and is operated year round by people from the Everfree Northwest team. The show is a live podcast that is typically run by our three hosts Pony Tim, Lightsolver, and Dapper Jack. The show is broadcast every other sunday at 10:30pm to 11:30pm EST on our Livestream and on Fillydelphia Radio. Audio and video is broadcast on the Livestream while only audio is broadcast on Fillydelphia Radio. This show is rated PG-13 but we try to more often stay around a PG rating.
The show is split up into 3 main parts: The first part is our “Intro & News” segment where go over Everfree Northwest convention news and news from the fandom. The next part is our “Special/Main Event” segment where we discuss the show’s topic and/or interview special guests. Our last part is our “Random Cool Thing” segment where we each talk about something interesting we found that, pony related or otherwise. We shoot for an hour-long show, although we have been known to run longer if needed.
If you missed an episode you can catch all of our past shows on iTunes , EFNW’s youtube page, or on our website . Hope to see you at the next show!

Galacon – Super Soda Sisters
Hello everyone!
We can’t say it enough – Many, many thanks for your support! Thanks to your generosity at our crowdfunding,
TheLivingTombstone and
CrikeyDave will make it to GalaCon without any trouble. They’ll be a wonderful addition for our events. The same, however, definitely goes for the creators of the first promo, who will also be on their way to GalaCon:
JanAnimations – Quite possibly the most wellknown animation artist in the pony fandom, and not just well known for his unique laugh, but his unique style as well! Keroro Gunsou, South Park or copyright protected equines – Jan has given these franchises and more his incredibly talented treatment.
ShadyVox – From Jaden in YuGiOh GX Abridged to gamer pony Button Mash – Shady is one of those voices that you’ve surely come across online before. He’s even provided voices for videogames such as Dust – An Elysian Tail in which he portrays a soldier. Shady also successfully pursues music as a passion, with the composition and mix of Don’t Mine At Night being a good example.
But before we close our StartNext for good this year and get the gifts ordered, we got one last extra for you: A neat mug for all artists, writers, animators, musicians and fans who’d like something new to put their favorite drink into! The design Super Soda Sisters was created by the wonderful Acesential with all of our gratitude! If you’d like this mug, don’t forget to get yours today at our StartNext!
We wish you all the best and hope to see you soon – Only 9 weeks until we’ll meet in Ludwigsburg!
Your GalaCon-Team

Plushies
All my plushies are handmade, with hand embroidered eyes and cutie marks, and take at least two to three days to make, but each one is therefore unique. They are made of super soft Minky fabric, super soft wool (49% acrylic, 51% wool), and high quality polyester stuffing. Due to their handmade nature they are relatively fragile, but eminently huggable.
