My GSFC Experience...

General
I don't want to be negative, i did have fun just that some of the panels i attended had technical difficulties (projector didn't play their slides or couldn't find the right adapter), panel host got sick and sent their room mate instead to give the lecture... without their notes, one was cancelled straight up. ones I did get to go where fun things (Plushie Making 101 and BDSM/Dom 101). Met some nice furries there, took some pics bought some merch/swag and enjoyed my time there.... i was just... disappointed in the "After Dark Activities" I had seen and hear about, even joined a telegram group about that and well.......... I couldn't find myself a damsel to put distress when there were several of those "orgies" i heard about. I had about maybe 5 people interested in being bound up with no actual sexual activity and with consent of course but all 5 backed out leaving me unread when I asked do they wish to meet at the main lobby of the venue (hotel) to discuss it further because yes bondage can be dangerous and need to communicate with bunny and rigger before doing anything. I understand that I am not entitled to anyone's time let alone body, that would make me a bad dom if I thought I was entitled like that, but please to anyone else who show interest in being tied up but change your mine, let the other person know. Don't leave them unread, just say "no thank you, i changed my mind". Please, had any of them said that to me I wouldn't feel bad because it's about communications, so hearing them say no wouldn't be a slight against me because yeah, it might not be their thing and I'll respect that..... i guess that's why i feel like i'm disappointed... cuz I gave myself hopes to find a damsel to tie up without having to be part of a sex orgy or do any sex... but again I know i'm not entitled to their time and body... just hurts being ghosted... If I go back next year, I'll just go one day and that's it.
all in all, it was a "fun" weekend even though I left Saturday night, will i go next year? maybe, I'll give Another Furry Con a chance this year, just need to wait for their Hotel Block announcement first to see if I can get a better deal with their block or a different hotel.

The con experience is pretty universally 99% missed connections, plans that don't work out, and everyone else seeming to have more fun than you. The key is to figure out how to have a great time despite all that, realizing that everyone around you is trapped in a whirlwind of chaos just like you are.
