FA:United 5 & FIRST CON EXPERIENCE!

13 years ago General

TL;DR? FA:United 5 was without a doubt one of the best times I've had in a long time. We had an incredibly wonderful experience, met new friends with kindred spirits & beautiful personalities, & had more fun & excitement than what I was expecting. I am staying a furry & I am proud to call myself one!

Long journal might be long.

I'm not counting Furry Fiesta 2012 as my first con due to the fact that i didnt stay; i had a mini pain-attack & drove back home because i didnt really know anyone & was going alone. But yeah... road the DART trains (Dallas Area Rapid Transits) to the airport. Flew to Newark [with a 1-stop at Atlanta] & was very lucky & grateful to be picked up by Mana & Arthur. Comet was a hysterical comedian the whole con, Zai was a sweetheart, & Moonstar n Kovu almost made Arthur drive into a lake from the CONSTANT USE OF SQUEAKERS. I love yall but you gave Mommy Burd a headache. ;-; My favorite parts were enjoying time with my great friends & the dances.

I was in the artist alley for a bit doing extremely cheap commissions (i was just doing it for fun, not for money.. pretty much free requests). I only made about $8-$10 or so so i donated it to one of the FA:U staff/cordinators (:Dragoneer possibly?) because they were working so hard & they deserved a lil something! I got a big hug from them from that! x> i wanted to go to the History of the Furry Fandom & the Momma's Sock Hop (50s-70s music dance) but i wasnt feeling well. Zai & Mana said i was on fire or dizzy but after eating pills & potatoes i was fine. Went to the DJ Dance (feat. DJ Firr, DJ Genki, DJ K-Light, & DJ Vang). OMG i couldnt stop dancing [& playing with the rave/glowstick ball] it was so much fun. they played Rebecca Black's Friday & everyone was like 'wtflol'. danced too much because i couldnt go to sleep from my legs hurting. x> Comet got use a discount when we went out to the Olive Garden- this guy knows about culinary! >v< we went gaming on Saturday & missed half of the dance. one guy in there was completely drenched in sweat because he was partying hard... as in nonstop. after the dance a bunch of furs decided to have a 'ring-around-the-rosies' circle  & we spontaniously formed a Conga line! it was prolly 1:30am & management told us to keep it down. x> Zai & I went swimming Sunday morning (they have a connected indoor/outdoor pool) & i twisted my knee underwater somehow (& twisted it boarding a train in Texas). atm it still hurts some but i can stand up & walk on it a bit. Anyways there was a Miracle fruit tasting & The Fursuit Games. I wanted to take the little puppy home with me he was so adorable! ;v; I was still kinda tired so I kinda napped btw intermissions. >.> tired burd was very tired. i missed the Dragoneer blending & closing ceremony because i couldnt walk but it was great to hang out with Zai, Nemmy, SoreThumb, & others who ventured by. BIG thank yous to Arthur & Mana for helping me to the front of the hotel & Zai for helping carry my bags & dealing with all of my crap for the weekend. <3 I chilled at Zai's house Sunday night due to the fact that my plane departure was Monday morning. We had a bunch of fun looking at random stuff on the internet & other cool stuff! (continues to ramble) Besides all the unexpected events & craziness this was a really kickass weekend... I was told something about "PCD" (Post Con Depression) & that it might be hard if its your first con but im going to try & stay positive because Zai said we'll all meet again eventually. :> ..now if yall'll excuse me i gotta lay down for a while. & CUDDLE WITH THIS KIWI I GOT FROM THE DEALER'S DEN.
