Before you even start to ask, let me explain:
Bronycon is an annual fan convention for fans of the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Surprisingly and awkwardly, most attendees are adult males and teenagers, who dress up and call themselves Bronies.
So this summer when we found out that Enjoi was dropping a line of My Little Pony decks as a joke and attending the Bronycon convention to sell them, we figured we’d go along for the adventure.
I won’t lie, our original plans were to make fun of a bunch of grown ass men that dress up as ponies from a children’s show, but after a strange weekend of watching these fanatics gleefully hang out, play games and hug each other, we started to get a bit soft. Sure, most of them were complete weirdo’s, but at least they had each other to confide in. There was something so innocent about the whole convention and the people there.
So without further ado, we present to you, Jenkem Goes to Bronycon, a quick little edit documenting our journey into the dark depths of a weird pony alternate reality with Louie Barletta and Ben Raemers. While we probably won’t ever go back to the convention, or dress up, we are happy that these dudes have a place where they can just do their thing.

God damn, this whack-ass company is allowing skateboarding to get anally raped by a unicorn horn just for a few bucks and some content. Dark days indeed.
