CFZ 24

Hi Guys,
The CFZ 2024 event is now winding down, and I've decided to chill my room for a bit.
So I did have fun, and I did get to know more peeps like the previous couple of years I attended. I knew it would be strange this year, as the people I usually see weren't here, but Krissy, Alfie, Shadow and Fudge were, as was the ever awesome Zee-Zee, with whom I worked with for the PawPets show.
Also, the awesome Chester Bun dropped by for a visit, and he hung out with me, Zee-Zee, Alfie, Krissy and Shadow. Plus many others came to join us, and we formed 'Chester Con'. We had a dealer's den where Chester gave something (still a deal), panels (wooden ones behind us), and we had a couple of biros, so we had a 'PawPens' show! XD It was the highlight of the weekend!
Of course, there was PawPets. The show is now online here at Confuzzled TV. Gemclawed me into kindly asked me to help with the show last year with wrangling props for the puppets, and I just loved the camaraderie, that I volunteered willingly this year! Zee-Zee was awesome as Coney, and I was so happy for him to get the role, as he has a special affination with the character. I also had my first puppet and speaking roles this year. I played the Meenotaur (Minotaur) which is a new character, and I also took over the role of Seb, the French Metrosexual bat. I kept this secret as the bat's appearances are supposed to be a surprise for the audience. This role I found challenging, as Seb and his boyfriend Klaus are very popular characters. I tried to keep my rubbish French accent consistent, and cheesy like 'Allo 'Allo, but was difficult and my throat was dry when performing him. Don't know if I pulled it off, but it was fun to play. I found the Meenotaur easier as I put on a high-pitched voice. The main issue was that the horns the puppet had on kept slipping to the front, so I used the puppet's arms to pull them back, which added to a certain vulnerability to the character. This was all because they fell off back stage and was desperate to find them, which I did just in time, but didn't secure them properly!
After the traditional cock-up (or two... three I counted from my part) the show was still I feel a success, and is a testament to the hard work that goes in, especially from the producer, back stage manager and director. But we all sacrificed evenings, weekends, con time and suffered the stresses that go into the show. Well done everyone!
I also got to meet Skippy-Chipmunk briefly too before the closing ceremony which was cool.
Will I be back next year? Who knows? Will I do PawPets again? Who knows? (If you asked me within 2 hours of the show finishing, I would have said no! haha)
Moving further into the year, I hope to be able to go to FURther South con this autumn. Lots of my friends are going to be there, and hopefully we can all hang out and probably make a nuisance of ourselves! haha.
Take care everyone. *🐨hugs*
Gotta get a fursuit!
