Confurgence 2018 Recap!

7 years ago

Ok, so Confurgence this year was pretty good. Nothing at all went wrong, very smooth sailing.



For me it was a really chill con, like I stated it would be in the meme I put prior to the the con.



Firstly before anything, I would really like to thank my two roommates and friends  Sevren2112 and  Maxtheshadowdragon for being good to me and just being awesome people. Made the con a lot easier to cope with, had some good moments too.



So on the Friday, I spent most of the evening in my room XD

I attended the opening ceremonies and that was it. The dance was pretty dull, so I didn't bother going down. There was an art panel I was considering going, but again I wasn't bothered. Spent most of my time working on a commission. 

I did however get some commissions organized at the dealer's den that night. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out.



Saturday was great. Had the Tonight with CynWolfe Show and Uncle Kage's Story Hour. Also had the Gala lunch, which was for gold and platinum sponsor members, as well as the guests of honour and the head staff. That was good too, very nice food for lunch. 



I also attended the fursuit life drawing panel, which was held by my good friend and a brilliant fursuiter  FURtitude 

It was having people drawing fursuiters in a pose for 5-10 minutes each. Now 5 mins for me is pretty much speed drawing, no matter what I'm drawing. I like to take my time to make sure I get something right, rather than draw it out as quick as I can to over and done with it. Now, the fact that I was drawing fursuiters made it WAYYY harder. You might think drawing fursuits is easy, try doing it in 5-10 mins and then try telling me that!



On the Sunday was my socializing with different people day, as it usually is each year. Made some new accquaintances and friends, had some good convos with peeps. Got some more art, took some selfies with a few suiters. Had the fursuit parade, charity auction with Kage and Cynwolfe, as well as the closing ceremony and the final dance. Again, the dance wasn't buzzing or anything. Mostly because there wasn't too many people. Usually in other years, the final dances are more hyped up than what it was this year. So I spent most of the time chatting and laughing with some people in the lobby. Some got drunk XP



So as I said, this was a very chillax con for me.





For next year's Confurgence, I am seriously thinking about taking up doing the dealer's den again. Need to get a few things sorted first, and make sure my commission queue is NOT piled up again afterwards like last year. Because that kind of bruised myself of being a reliable artist. 

Also, I'm really going to try and save for a fursuit. Whether I'm going to get an Anka suit or a Jaron suit, I'm not too sure. They're both very tempting to get as my first. All I do know is who I'll be choosing as the makers, depending on who I'm getting done. Hopefully I'll be ordering one some time this year.





In closing I'd like to thank the people I spent time with there and also meeting:  Sevren2112  Maxtheshadowdragon  Toxi  SibeorHusky  TheSaberFox  Silvixen  DocRat and some other people I have no clue what they're FA name is.



Lastly, Cynwolfe who was the Chairman for the last 10 years stepped down as the chairman. Some people have different views of him, and whatever they are I don't give a shit. I think he's a pretty top bloke, and not too many people get to run a big furry convention for 10 years. So congrats to  Cynwolfe for being a wonderful chairman for Confurgence all these years and good luck to whatever the future holds for you. 

Also good luck to Nonna Bunny and StarShadow, who are the new co-Chairmans. I'm sure these two people will take good care of the convention in the coming years.



Looking forward to next year guys. Return to Oz!
