Okay, it's recap time (I'll probably be answering the contest question tomorrow).
Oh my, I am delerious. I totally missed out on a huge chunk of the story: what happened during the MtG PTQ, which went pretty well; I went 4-4 which wasn't bad considering I regard myself as a terrible Sealed player. I get a brohoof almost immediately (I was wearing my Operation Flutter[9] shirt), which was pretty awesome. Anyway, I'd say about 2-3 of my 8 opponents recognized my shirt, though they weren't bronies. One time I was sitting down to play someone and his friend was like "yeah, you're playing Rainbow Dash over there".
It also turned out that one of the judges at the event was a pretty big brony; he even had a custom-made foil Magic card with Fluttershy and her Element of Harmony symbol as the artwork. Sadly, I only saw a pic on his phone as he didn't have it with him, but it was really amazing. I also met and played a guy that I convinced to check the show out. Christ I love my pony shirt.
Anyway, that happens and we're heading back to Vancouver. Driver turns at the wrong time, misses highway back to ferry terminal. We quickly stop at a gas station and ask for directions. Turns out they're bad and fuck us over. We get stuck in Vancouver as a result of this because we missed the last ferry back to the Island.
After a crazy time looking for a hotel, including driving through a couple blocks that smelled so strongly of pot, it was more intense than when I was smoking in a garage in Anaheim. We also run into a skunk in the middle of downtown. Yes, a skunk.
We finally get a hotel and eat a crazy good dinner and play some buzzed Magic before going to sleep. Oh yeah, we also saw some creepy old guy hit on/barter with a hooker across the street from our hotel room window before they both went into a bar together. Then we go home.
Anyway, onto the episode. I couldn't properly identify with it because I've never had siblings. I could see a lot of what it was going for, but it didn't really hit me at all; I got the typical MLP reactions, but nothing spectacular. That is, until the ending. When it happened, I sat there with my mouth open for a couple of minutes as my vision started to get blurry. Definitely the most emotional moment of season 2 for me and is probably within my top 3 of all time for the show itself. Luckily for me, I was too tired and braindead to pick up on a few clues that others did, so the ending came completely out of nowhere for me.

One of the judges at the Iowa PTQ will be a huge brony

It's this Saturday. I can only hope that mine goes as well as yours.
