Back from AC and Chilling in MI
WOW! AC was way more than I expected from my first con. I definitely think all my old and new friends made it an absolutely exceptional experience!
Between hunting down cheap parking places and trekking between the DoubleTree and the convention center a billion times we had a great time hanging out in the dealer's den for hours and chilling with artist friends, friends in suit, and just awesome people. I know cricket_fur had a wonderful time suiting in her costume and our hotel room was great fun with taiko_shepherd and thatoneguy297 supplying the laughs and all of us joining in on the lack of sleep (W00T "ZombieCon"). Not to mention all the fun we had hanging with Taiko's buddies carson10us, rlfjr03, and rory_husky.
What I learned from my first con:
- Sleep is overrated
- Buying new shoes before the con was an unforeseen Godsend
- Furries are creppy
- (10 minutes later) Furries are a lot of fun
- Friends of Friends of Friends are Friends too/are probably already your Friends
- Artists are a lot more humble than I thought and are really cool people to chat and have dinner with
- Dark Natasha is the Queen Furry and rules over everyone with Dark Mumsy at her side
- Furries are... W00T!
All in all this con really invigorated my love for the fandom and being there with all those fun people really made the experience worth re-experiencing. I want to go back so bad and am looking into the next furry con. I hope to see all you guys really soon! Thanks for making this the best weekend ever.
P.S. Money and time are always factors, but let me know about MFF '09, and FCN '10 I'll see what I can do! Hopefully AC '10 will be a definite.
P.S.S. Pictures and art will come as soon as I get back to my scanner in PA
