New Partnership!

Hop and Moka enjoy Pizza together celebrating the new partnership between Hop's Featherfest and the Spring Sun Celebration

Previously on Hop visiting Italy: she really doesn’t like coffee. But what Hop and Moka could definitely agree on enjoying is Pizza! Which led them to eventually shake hooves and claws and become Partners!

We are very happy to officially announce our Partnership with the SSC (Spring Sun Celebration) and look forward to exciting conventions together!

First of May in Austria

First of May in Austria

Happy 1st of May! This is a Maibaum

Happy 1st of May! Today is a national holiday in Austria and we celebrate two things – Tag der Arbeit (Labour Day) and the tradition of the Maibaum (Maypole)!

Labour Day honours workers’ rights and the labour movement. It started in 1890 with big marches demanding an 8-hour workday and better conditions for workers. Since 1919, it has been an official national holiday.

The maypole isn’t related – it’s an old folk tradition to welcome spring and just happens to be on the same day. Towns and villages raise that tall tree and celebrate with music, dancing and fun competitions, which include climbing to the top or even stealing the tree from another village!

A winner is you!

We are happy to announce the winner of the ticket raffle:

McKey

Thank you for playing and see you at the con!

How the winner was chosen you ask?

We don’t trust digital randomness so we had the resident DJ pony spin a classic Austrian record.

The song is “Zwickt’s mi” by Wolfgang Ambros from 1975, find the video and translated lyrics below.

You can watch the Video on YouTube or embedded here.

Lyrics (translated from Austrian):

Once more I go home by the subway train
Outside it rains, inside it smells and I can barely take it
People sitting and standing look so sad
I think that’s from riding the subway train
Can’t be for any other reason

At the bar I always meet someone who speaks a lot
He’s so rich, he’s so good, he knows the whole world
But actually he’s the worst, doesn’t work and is always drunk
He’s dirty, smells, in short, he’s a hog

Pinch me, I think I dream
This can’t be real, I don’t believe it
Pinch me, no matter where
I can’t believe it, it doesn’t make sense

But pinching really doesn’t help
Can’t someone please slap my face
Thank you, now I know
It’s true, it’s true

Youth has no ideals, no true values
They have it too good, they know no hardship
That’s how those talk who are greedy and give in
Retreat after a scandal, like a true role model

Pinch me, I think I dream
This can’t be real, I don’t believe it
Pinch me, no matter where
I can’t believe it, it doesn’t make sense

But pinching really doesn’t help
Can’t someone please slap my face
Thank you, now I know
It’s true, it’s true

Pinch me, I think I dream
This can’t be real, I don’t believe it
Pinch me, no matter where
I can’t believe it, it doesn’t make sense

But pinching really doesn’t help
Can’t someone please slap my face
Thank you, now I know
It’s true, it’s true
