(YEAH, WANTED TO GET THIS OUTTA THE WAY, and whaddya know, it's preeeetty looong. XD But as my say here as well, thank you all for such a wonderful weekend! <3)

I... really can't find a way to form together words to truly describe this con was for me. Simply expressin' how much LOVED this con (which I REALLY) did is NOT enough. <3

This con was very surprisin' and special to me in so many ways. Not only did I enjoy myself as any other attendee/fursuiter (which I certainly hope is nothin' BUT positive things about it!), but I was given opportunities, invites, and privileges I seriously did not expect. And I couldn't feel more honored about it. <3

So much happened this weekend that it's such a blur all in one, but jeez do I recall a ton! Guess I'll try overall recap of how my days happened to have gone (especially so to sit down and rethink all these new memories)! <3

Thursday-
This day, of course, was when we had arrived! The moment that we did, I could tell the weekend was grand.
Got the pleasure & honor of meetin' , , and through the door. Quite simple to say, was very nervous throughout, but was a joy.
I suppose it's not seemingly 'blunt', or even egotistical to say at this point, but over the course of a few months ago, I was asked to make posters for Megaplex (that info, of course, was mostly kept hush-hush). I figured bein' they were posters, there may be one or two scattered around the walls of the cons, like all other fabulous signs/artwork! But walkin' through the con center, seems those particular posters were main ones that welcome attendees through the entrance. Quite blunt to say, I was quite shocked. Speechless for the most part, even.
After gettin' down to pick up registration for Momlando and I for the con, things went alright for Mom! For me however... I cannot thank Yappy and everyone enough for this.
It was really my utmost honor and pleasure to contribute artwork to the con, but wow... thank you SO much for no charge for my registration. <:') Was not expected, but I definitely appreciate and had me flustered. <3
Was able to make it to the bowlin' meet as well, which... pff, so much occurred that night; super glad I got to run into and , as well as , , , , and many others, would really be too many to list. But there were definitely a LOT of peeps I got to see around there, and that night in general! Was excellent pre-con fun, and a great first night. Thank you to everyone I ran into/finally got to see that day! <3

Friday-
Oh my gosh, this day. Thank you so much again for a surprise for one of those more 'exclusive' Megaplex shirts, KP! Was too too sweet of ya'll! And again, my pleasure to have contributed. <3
...And FINE, I GUESS I gotta say. He may have been such a mean tease, but it was great to finally meet yah , as well as , in the flesh, so to speak. :) Was great to see Yippee again, and fun goin' against Verms in Iron Artist, which was well had and ran by the wonderful (great to see yah again, dude)! :)
After this earlier fun, nothin' much occurred for me durin' the afternoon, but I can definitely say this night was pure gold. <3
Momlando and I had pleasure of bein' invited to come and chat around the bar, with Vermy, Xzadfor, Ruby, and all others that happened to come around, like , Tirrel, Bucktown, etc.! :)
Was also a pleasure to say hello to Uncle, Grandma, and Grandpa Kage. Kage is always a pleasure to happen to run into, and really enjoyed opportunity to meet and say hello to your folks! <3
Runnin' into and , as well, was such a pleasure, as well as chattin' was a big pleasure. Lovely seein' you two folks again <3 And thank you SO much again for the beach ball! It's SO much fun (and all that balancing)! <3
And I definitely ran into a lot more folks that night, but wow, again, so much and so many, it was great. <3

Saturday-
This day... this day, was somethin' else. Went to the fursuit parade, that's always fun, and definitely saw a good amount of folks there! <3 Shaylee, Buddy, and Rocky, you three are the cutest fluffy family, was great to run into you guys multiple times durin' the con. And awesome to you you guys had a wonderful time as well! <3

Past the mornin' was when things took me more to surprise. Imma broken record, but thank you again Yappy; heck in general, Megaplex staff, for the invite to the Sponsor luncheon with you all. The food and dessert served was very delicious, and I was most flattered to have invite to a more reserved 'event' occurin' at the con. :)
The late afternoon/evenin' of this day was spent in mixture of full on resting for once and suitin' around a bit! But, I was, once again, invited to sponsor suite for dinner, which I am again honored to have been part of. Again, great great stuff! :)

And this night... yeah, has the be the MOST memorable. <XD Finally got to see (THANK GOODNESS) this time around, and was great to have hung around with him, Dingo, Aura, Vermy, Luie, Nbowa, and others' blindfolds, gamin', arting, talkin' around a bit, and all! :) I didn't think I'd have, let alone be given, the opportunity to have this kind of night with peeps I've more so wanted to meet/see again for the longest, and was definitely such great fun!
Thank you guys SO much for the invite to such fun! Was superb! <3

Sunday-
Twas a great day, this was. Was a day full of early goodbyes for quite a few, but if not that, 'last-time' great fun!
Fursuit games, I was thankfully able to make, and it was great great fun! <3 And seemed I was invited to come up to the sponsor lounge once again for sushi, which can I say, has been so long since I was able to have, and it was DELICIOUS.
And was once again a pleasure to get to talk with Kage's folks once again! <3

Did not expect myself to go, but also went to the charity auction.... haha, was I embarrassed. :) I'm once again flattered to have helped out the con in such a way, even more so to have helped with contribution to C.A.R.E. They deserve funds to help out the animals, and I bust out a big smile each time at thought that I, in some way, could help out. :)

Afterwards, of course, attended the always wonderful FPS (luckily didn't take too long to get back in suit upstairs). And what can I say, that was such great fun! ALWAYS one thing to watch the show, was another to get to watch them in the flesh again. Always great stuff from you guys, and thank you for the Sunday fun as always! :) <3

Past this, went out with quite a few folks for Giordano's (I've mentioned the lot of yah already, 'sides, you know who you are)! BEST last dinner for the con, and always great food.
And despite original thoughts, found myself goin' out and about in suit ONE last time for the late night parade, ended up in the dance, said my goodbyes to peeps (more or less). And by gosh, when I had to get to bed, did the true knowledge this was the last day hit me. So bittersweet, so worth it all. :')

TL;DR

This has had to have been the best con to have happened, hands down. It was well run, the new hotel was AMAZIN' for such a con with such events, and heck, the vibe of the entire cone jus' URGED for socialization and fun (with fur all around)! :D

There are definitely MANY more folks I met this weekend (if not saw again) that I didn't wanna too much list up (but peeps I did above, trust me, you definitely gave such extra sentimental and sweet gesture <3), but by gosh; Yuchi (EVEN IF MATH), Lau Lau, Starrick, Marinaneira, Rrruff, Han, Jreq, Brejar, Blue, Sterling, Rei, Sparky, Rawk, Diz, Stratosfear, Cream Cheese, Alakai, Wyoon, BeagleDerp, Gen, folks I've already listed above, all of Megaplex staff; seriously, EVERYONE. I contemplated even tryin' to list a good CHUNK of you guys here because so many of you guys made this con such a memorable one, whether I got to actually chat, saw you guys for a sec, simply saw, you're big parts. <3

And I cannot thank you all enough for that. Compliments and all on posters (if not my work in general, wow ;;), trust me, I took SO much to heart. <3
Tears were indeed rollin' down my face as I left the hotel this morning. But that was sign of how wonderful of experience it was for me. And jus' knowledge it'll be a quite a time before I can -see- a good amount of you guys again.
But for those I were able to say my 'goodbyes' to on Sunday night (as this mornin', had to try and get stuff checked on out by noon and slept quite a while <:)), I came to thought that those aren't my 'farewells 'til next time', but rather 'see you later'. Which I shall. :) Was a wonderful 'end' to my summer here, and I cannot thank you all (especially Momlando) for bein' a big part of it. <3

I GREATLY look forward to next year's Megaplex, AND with how confidence of things are lookin' already, ALSO MFF next year! :D Hope to see many of you folks there, one or the other (if not both, who knows)! :D
School starts up in a few weeks, hopefully this year tries to fly by as well! :) <3

Thank you all SO much, as well, for the watches over the weekend! NOBODY LISTENS TO CAMO OR LIKES THIS ART, C'MON

Gaah, seriously, it means SO much, and flattered you'd take such interest in what I manage to make! <:)
Hope I can continue to make decent works! <3
