Show me the way to go home, I'm tired and I want to go to bed...
Sunday afternoon at Furfright! I'm tired, I'm sore, but feeling pretty good and want to get my "con report" out of the way before
It's been an entertaining con, but there's a dearth of things to do during the day if you're not really into gaming or you've run out of money to shop. But it's been a pretty good trip besides.
Thursday we got up here by about 2 PM, wandered around the con and met different folks, had dinner at Chili's, getting registered and called it a night. It was definitely a thrill to see my short story in print- even if someone went a little crazy with the punctuation when editing, in my opinion ;P
Friday we wound up having to hike from the Super 8 hotel in the driving rain up what I have now come to term The Scary Hobo Path- a sad little trail going underneath the two bridges leading to the main con hotel. In trying in vain to avoid the ankle-deep puddles in parts of the path, I wound up getting a gigantic scratch up one leg from a sticker bush. You also had to duck through a brush tunnel that put me in mind of trolls living under bridges (funny, since I just watched "Troll Hunter" on Netflix not too long ago).
We kind of felt like old fogies all day Friday, but finally wound up meeting up with some cool new folks and playing a furry-fied game of Marco Polo in the pool. Afterward, we had dinner with our good friend Tikky, which wound up turning into a gigantically fun Karaoke session when the restaurant gave over their space. Didn't get to sing because there were so many people ahead of us, but we had fun nonetheless!
Saturday was kind of the same, except I woke up feeling groggy and grouchy. We hiked up to get a pizza, then I decided to just go take a nap since nothing was going on till that night. We took part in Pie Con, our friend Tikky's alternative to Cake Con, and that was a blast as well!
So today is our last day here, and we're heading home later this afternoon around 5 PM. It's been an interesting trip, and fun time, but I have definitely used up all my Party Energy for the time being! It's been good to get re-immersed in the fandom again :)
