When Midwestria, a My Little Pony convention, comes to town next week, more than just 10-year-old girls will be representing. Fans called "bronies" and "pegasisters," adults who love the toys and show "Friendship is Magic" also will be riding in.
Bronies, who are becoming something of a cult phenomenon, have made it into New York Times articles and "The Colbert Report," and count among their members Andrew W.K., who's said he relates to the character Pinkie Pie on "Friendship is Magic." Fan sites like Equestria Daily and Ponychan are full of My Little Pony videos, fan fiction and news.
