I relate to this on some level, albeit it I've yet to make it to any Mare Fair. Part of me thinks it'd be really fun, another part of me, not sure if it's just my ego or common sense, thinks I'm setting myself up for disappointment. I'm too old and lame. I'm 30 now, I'll be 31 when the next Mare Fair hits, and I have done nothing impressive. No interesting career, no degree, no interesting skills, etc. I feel like the ideal person to attend is someone in their early to mid 20's, with a career ahead of them. I know this isn't a contest, and I don't mean to turn it into a competition, but I fear I'd just drag down the vibe. I don't want to be that weird older dude trying to keep a dying party going.

>I don’t have much connection with most of the attendees
This also worries me. I think it's great people are still enjoying pony, and I like they have their thing with shouting "Mares!" and "Snowpity!" but I dunno. To me it feels distinctly like a modern /mlp/ invention. Then again, I can't even imagine what a 2012 and 2013 Mare Fair would look like. What would people even shout? "Go to bed seth?" "I fucking hate pineapple pizza?" Maybe just shout Derpy's name? Who knows. If I can get the money together, I'd love to go. If nothing else, I'd know for sure if it's an event for me or not. Maybe next year there can be a Werther's Original section for all the Internet Boomers to hang out in and talk about how much better it was back in our day and complain about joint pain.
