this is my wife and i's second day at the con!
honestly its not really what i expected. i thought it would a more chill atmosphere and that it would be easy to talk to people and find people to meet up with. most of the people that wanna meet up with me just wanna fuck. and everyone already has friends. it feels like you need a suit if you want people to acknowledge you at all. im feeling very pessimistic about this lol. im not very good at randomly talking to strangers either. like i go up to people and compliment them or point out that we both like a show/artist/whatever and theyre like uhuh thanks and get busy with something else. it just feels like you need to already know people or have a fursuit to enjoy this! i wish i only did one day and didnt pay $700 for a hotel here. ughhh.
but anyway. its not all bad. i had fun dancing drunk by myself last night. got some silly art at the dealers den. and being in a hotel is nice anyway. i also like being able to walk around with a tail and collar and paws and whatnot. its just sad that the atmosphere is not very welcoming to first timers and there's not a lot of activities that arent just "everyone who likes this go to this room" you know? im here with my partner and i like that we get to do this together and see what furry cons are all about, but we're just not having fun lol... we're just going to the city to walk around because its so depressing being here and not being able to do anything. we're just sitting in the hotel while people have fun downstairs. and if im not in the hotel room with him im just walking around the lobby looking for opportunities to talk to people (everyone is already too busy)
anyways. thats all. just really disappointed because i thought this would be different. :(
we're here tomorrow too, theres a few cool events and panels i wanna go to. maybe itll get better. idk.
bleh.
