Andrew W.K. to speak about My Little Pony?!

Andrew W. K. and Pinkie Pie

If you don’t know anything about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, welcome to the web! Where everything hates everything and people just want to watch the world burn. We have bacon and ironic mustaches! Anyway, a My Little Pony convention called Canterlot Gardens is going down in Ohio this September, and since musician Andrew W.K. is basically the human male version of Pinkie Pie, he has been booked to do a speaking gig on how to turn life into one big party. Pitchfork reports:

Andrew W.K. is a veteran motivational speaker, and apparently, a “My Little Pony” fan (or, as male fans are apparently called, a “Brony”). As Prefix reports, those two passions will come together at Canterlot Gardens, a “My Little Pony” convention in Strongsville, Ohio from Sept. 28-30. He’ll give a motivational speech titled “In the Flesh: What Would Pinkie Pie Do?”. Spoiler: She would party. A press release for the convention calls Andrew W.K. “the real life embodiment” of the party planning pony. Naturally, he’ll give motivational tips on how to “make your job as fun as your party, and your party as important as your job.”

Other seminars include:

  • Sylvia Plath‘s “The Twilight Sparkle Method: How to go batshit crazy over something you’re supposed to write.”
  • Anna Wintour‘s “The WORST. POSSIBLE. THING: Finding your inner Rarity.”
  • Joey Chestnut‘s “Apple Jackin’ It: Forget you, I can eat all these apples!”
  • Cesar Milan‘s “Unleash Your Fluttershy: Make all your animals LOVE YOU!!!”
  • Danica Patrick‘s “The Sonic Rainboom: How Rainbow Dash taught me to be 20% cooler.”

And just because you’ll never get this out of your head, here’s Pinkie Pie in all her manic happy glory.
