Andrew WK & My Little Pony: Coming to A Convention Center Near You (If You're In Ohio)

1.

It seems the inevitable consequence of parading around as the unflappable lord of party starting is that you will one day be compared to a party-planning plastic pony and invited to speak at a convention for fans of similar plastic ponies. At least, this is path that party proponent and perpetual nose bleeder Andrew WK has followed, and it’s taking him to a “My Little Pony” convention in Strongsville, Ohio from September 28-30, where he will give a speech entitled “In the Flesh: What Would Pinkie Pie Do?”

For the uninitiated, here’s a brief description of Pinkie Pie, courtesy of Wikipedia:

Pinkie Pie is an earth pony with a pink body and magenta mane and tail. She is a baker/confectioner at the Sugarcube Corner and a party planner, but is very friendly, hyper, air-headed, and quite random at times. She also enjoys singing and playing pranks…

WK–known for his insatiable desire to party, his loud and fast brand of rock, and his motivational speaking–is a perfect match for such a party-rocking pony, and, according to the convention’s press release, it sounds like the speech is going be one for the ages:

Party party party, she wants to have a party! Pinkie Pie is certainly a party animal, but what happens when you can’t be a candy-colored pony in an Equestrian world? We break the fourth wall to present Andrew W.K., the artist behind hits “She Is Beautiful” and “Party Hard”, to answer the dire question: What Would Pinkie Pie Do? Join us for a look into how to make your job as fun as your party, and your party as important as your job.

Our advice? Get your tickets now and ride the candy-colored pony to freedom.
