For the second year in a row, an Australian Pony Convention has run into some serious trouble. This time it is PonyconAU which officially concluded several weeks ago, that has hit a snag. That snag? A tale than surely everyone is familiar with. It's like when you're eating at a fancy restaurant and you told all your guests that you would pay for dinner. Then dinner is over and the waiter comes with your check, you realize that you left your wallet at home...where it is also empty. So you of course have to ask your guests to cover the bill while you pat your pants nervously.
Ponycon AU ran out of money. They're about $8000 short.
