Nightmare Nights Dallas
Hotel Rooms Going Fast
We at Nightmare Nights are delighted by the enthusiastic response we’ve received. As we’ve continued announcing guests, as well-known fan artists like Chaotic Brony and many others have decided to sell their outstanding work here in Dallas, and as Andrea Libman keeps re-tweeting us, our badges have been going fast. However, our hotel rooms are going even faster. Remember: while we may force you to pay when you reserve your admission—we’re jerks like that– the hotel does not! If you’re strongly considering attending Nightmare Nights this November, we’re strongly recommending you reserve your room now. Even though we’re still three months out, the hotel is filling up already. Go to www.nightmarenights.net, follow the link to our venue’s reservation page, and secure your room, deposit-free!
Nightmare Nights Completes Its Collection
We’ve been inviting all pony fan media members to attend, and will have representatives from Equestria Daily, Derpy Hooves News, Celestia Radio, Bronyville, Ponyville Live, The Round Stable, FOB Equestria, EFN, and (probably) Canterlot Radio. See? It can be done!
The Vendor List!
These are the vast majority of the folks you’ll encounter in our dealers room come November! It’s not fully complete as theres always negotiations in the background, but these are the community artists and craftsponies who will be vending at our event. If you’ve been wanting to purchase something from these artists and not had the chance before, come see us in November! The list, in no particular order..

Good news and bad news from us pony folk at BronyCAN. The bad news first:
Two of our previously announced performing artists – DJ Midli and Brony Beamshows – are unfortunately no longer set to perform at our convention due to unforeseen circumstances. We are sad to see them go; however, we wish both of them nothing but the best with their future endeavors!
The good news – and we know y’all are used to this by now – is that we are kicking off another wave of fandom guests! BronyCAN is proud to announce:
Rina-chan!
Forest Rain!
Bejoty!
Automatic Jack!
DJStrachAttack!

Rina-chan is a voice actress, singer, and content creator in the MLP community. She is best known for her fanwork as Twilight Sparkle in the PONY.MOV series and Double Rainboom, and as Colgate/Minuette in the Brushie Song and Toothpaste Cannon videos. She has collaborated to sing with a variety of brony musicians. She also works professionally as a voice actress in anime (Accel World, Blue Exorcist, Lagrange) and video games (Skullgirls, Castle Crashers, Mugen Souls.)

Hailing from Issaquah, WA, Bejoty is a frightening cross between musician, coder, gamer, and event planner. Originally the executive director of Everfree Northwest, he writes and composes original pony tunes as well. Only recently introduced to the music scene, his genre of choice is a mash between contemporary folk and acoustic jazz guitar styles. Bejoty has just completed his first national tour with Musiquestria, not only as the opening musician but also as the road manager of the tour.

A brony since December 2011, Automatic Jack first found his way into the show through a Game Informer article and has never looked back since the first episode. Though he’s made electronic music and been a drummer for 16 years, currently performing with ‘Jade Grenade’, his work first came to the fandom’s attention with the remix of Wooden Toaster’s ‘Pinkie’s Lie’.
