FWIW was pleasantly surprised when we learned we were invited back to the Bay Area Brony Spectacular, BABSCon, this year. While last year we wanted to know how furry conventions and a brony convention are similar, this year we looked to get the perspective of the professionals involved in the show and their thoughts on furry. Tugs, guest host Haku, and Koru (!) share their thoughts on the event, followed by an extended interview with Cathy Weseluck, who voices Spike and Mayor Mare on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
