And do I have to print my ticket and bring it to the con entry?

We have no specific room for board games (though, there will be dedicated one for music games), but there are few places to sit around the venue. Also some people sit in workshop room with other games.

Yes, please print the payment confirmation with the barcode and bring it to con entry - you get the ticket there.

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

He just doesn't want to walk straight into the lion's den, and we all know who the lion is, hee hee.

Well... M.A.Larson at Czequestria is kinda "circle is now full" thing

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/

Me and Stiv64 a still looking for 1 or 2 flatmates for the Airbnb Flat we rented right next to the convention center. It's gonna be 15 to 20 Euros a night, depending on how many people we end up being.

[Malte279]

I'm just booking my ticket and am very much looking forward to this
Apart from the Czequestria Prague is a town I have been hoping to visit for a long time already, but shomehow I never got around to do so... until now

I got just two questions, is the Fancy Portal Ticket still an option (in spite of the site saying it is limited to the end of June (sorry for being late )) and in case it still is an option, is it possible to take a look at the three different options for the T-Shirt (Mare, Stallion or Filly/Colt) before deciding which one to pick?

[Lethrael]

I've finished my booking too.
My first Czequestria yay.
And my first visit of Prag.
I'm so hyped.

As we always do with foreign conventions: apart from the con itself, explore the city. It was always worth it   I can only recommend to look around the Prague when you are there.

Zitat:I got just two questions, is the Fancy Portal Ticket still an option (in spite of the site saying it is limited to the end of June (sorry for being late )) and in case it still is an option, is it possible to take a look at the three different options for the T-Shirt (Mare, Stallion or Filly/Colt) before deciding which one to pick?

Fancy Portal ticket is still an option - the site says Sunday, July 23th 2017 (if you find other deadline stated somewhere else, it's a typo - in that case please let me know!)

For the t-shirts, there are Mare/Stallion options both with size from S to XXL. T-shirt models will be the Fruit of the Loom Valueweight (for Stallions) and Fruit of the Loom Valueweight Lady Fit (for Mares).

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.

can we play bugball?

[Jamis]

There is a big grass field next to the venue and some space between the venue and shopping mall (waiting for reconstruction), so you will definitely find some bugs there and so playing bugball is no problem

There is lot of space for many outdoor activities, we just don't have them in the official program, as the area renovation was planned during the convention time. currently it's postponed until the November (that is also the reason why the surrounding looks how it looks).

Anyway... here is the actual panorama picture of outside of the venue (the venue building itself is in the center of the picture):

[JasterFox]

Few more weeks to go!
I'm so excited...I'm alread thinking about what I might possibly forget to take xD...and how to bypass it...
Ordered some money at the bank....hnnng e.e

I'm so very much looking forward to this. Also Merch! Yay!

[Emmanuel Goldstein]

You do know that I meant Buckball - we would only need buckets (and maybe something to mark the field - chalk would probably do)

Would be awesome!

[404compliant]

Buckball rules are on the GalaCon website: https://www.galacon.eu/wp-content/upload...-Rules.pdf

Bascally you need two buckets, a ball, and something to mark the playfield.

[Malte279]

With regard to outdoor activities, I'm going to pack chalk and if there is any larger smooth surface of asphalt or stone nearby it can be "Kreidezeit" again
