Supanova Pop Culture Expo 2012: Melbourne Day Two

The geeks were out in force today

by David “Aussie Dave” Lobato, Reporter

Supanova 2012 officially opened to general public ticket holders on a very sunny Saturday the 14th of April at 10am. The Royal Melbourne Showgrounds was the (not so) secret headquarters for the event, with ample parking spaces and several public transportation options (including a special Supanova train service) in operation meaning that getting to the event itself was a rather straightforward affair.

Special Event: My Little Pony Royal Wedding, A Second Look!

by Jodie Zoll, Guest Reporter

“How do you feel about ponies?”

I was in a parking lot with a friend and a fellow brony when I was asked this random-in-almost-every-scenario question. I could tell there was some underlying reference that I didn’t catch, but I didn’t know how to answer. My ultimate response was a hesitant, “…why?” The aforementioned brony gave a brief but relatively informative breakdown of the show, mentioning some of the puntastic names (i.e. Fillydelphia, Manehattan, etc.), and, if we’re being honest, I wasn’t quite sold. Like most girls, I loved My Little Pony when I was younger. I even had a place for them in my heart of hearts as I went into young adulthood in that Peter Pan “never gonna grow up” kind of way. Despite not having watched the movies or the shows due to my ever-lasting tomboy phase, the ponies never failed to make me smile. But would I, as a young adult, be captivated by this show like some of my peers seem to be?
