color me impressed!
Well completely contrary to popular opinion, this years Califur was a friggin BLAST! They needed to knock one out of the park after last years hotel shit storm. Boy did they ever!
The new hotel was perfect for this con! we had the entire convention space the elevators worked, and despite the typical badge nazi-ing, which was far more tolerable this year than last year, and the behind schedule dance and cabaret, things went wonderfully. panels were there, shows went off, tho not on time on saturday evening. Hell the hotel staff was all smiles at the sight of fursuits this time around. The lady at starbucks was especially tickled and curious of the convention. Stark contrast to the shit hotel last year :)
The dealers area was quite large, the dance was good n flashy and loud, and the people and new friends i met while there were just BEYOND awesome.
So say what you will about this con, but unless you were there this year, you dont have a clue what you missed.
OH and seneca was loved alot by hallway passer bys. i had no idea folks still remember and like him :)
So after this year you can be damn sure ill be there next year. to rate this con i give it a good firm 8 out of 10!
2 points off for the sparse badge nazis. take care of the dork douches that cant handle the power and responsibility of being handed a 2 way radio, and youll have an awesome con. :)
The hotel tho gets a 9 tho. not a 10 only because the bar was over priced. Food was available within 2 miles of the hotel 24 hours a day. mucho points for that! Location is awesome.
way to go on a great CF 2009!
so for those that went, what do you think? id love to know what you all thought while there. :)
