Season 3 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic begins this Saturday, November 10 at 7 a.m. PT on The Hub, followed by the series premiere of Littlest Pet Shop. Both shows feature songs written by Daniel Ingram, who was kind enough to speak to me on the phone about his process, the differences between writing for differing levels of reality in cartoons, his feelings about the many, many remixes of his work on YouTube, and things to look forward to this season.

The timing couldn't have been better, really. Three days after my final recap of the second season of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic was published on The Exhibitionist on August 15, I'd be in Seattle attending Everfree Northwest, the first annual My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic convention. Specifically, it was the first My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic convention to bear the name Everfree Northwest -- there have been plenty of other fan conventions in the twenty-two months since the show has been on the air, most notably the quarterly BronyCon, but this would be the first one I'd attended, and I was going to be a part of it!
