Back from Fur-Eh
a year ago
So, uh, yeah. Thaaat didn't quite work as planned.
Long story short - got up to the hotel, headed over to register in the morning, met up with
PitchBlackProductions (total cutie ps)... and promptly realized that it was 1. too warm, 2. too loud (and my earbuds didn't quite work as hoped, unfortunately), and 3. retreating to my hotel room to try and recharge energy just didn't work (too far from home + no privacy). As much as I would've liked to have stuck around, it was just too much for me to handle right now.
In the long run, though, it was probably better to get back home early - I've heard the smoke and heat have gotten worse in Edmonton, as have the forest fires in central BC (and the smoke was already bad enough that I had trouble handling it on the drive back). It would've been nice to hang out for more of it, but ah well.
Moving forward, I've got a better idea of what to expect from longer-distance furry cons. There's still Howloween coming up in early November, which is pretty close to me, so odds are good that I'll be attending that, at least. This also gives me a pretty reasonable long-term goal: working my way up to attending Fur-Eh! 2025. Having a better idea of the challenges I'll face means I'll be able to prepare for them better, y'know?
Hopefully Fur-Eh! was fun (and not too hot!) for those who stuck around for it. :> Here's to making it through next year's~

But at the same time, it's good to have that better understanding of your limits đź‘Ť
