TFS Revisited
2 months ago
Howdy, y'all! Been a little while I know, but things are doing better now. Hard to believe it's been a whole week since my return from Texas Furry Siesta. And yet, it feels like forever ago. Either way, I'm glad to be back home and already preparing for my next excursion to Tails and Tornadoes!
Anyway, as some of you know, I first visited TFS in 2023, and it was without doubt my favorite con experience to date (though TTFC 2024 comes very close). I'm happy to say that my impression of the con is still very positive. Though it's grown by almost 1000 since my last visit and had to spread out a bit more, it nevertheless still felt like the cozy little Siesta I remember from a couple years back. This time, I tried to get a little more into the con itself since my accompanying friend group was way smaller. I also managed to take advantage of some of the hotel eateries I wasn't even aware of back in '23, and while pricey, I definitely recommend the Hyatt food. Top notch!
Now, there were a few things I didn't get to for one reason or another, and they are as follows:
-Content creators panel (I was actually there, but the host never showed)
-Reunion Tower tour (we didn't know you had to book tickets in advance Friday night, and they sold out well in advance Saturday)
-Hotel pool (I've stayed there three times now and still haven't used it!)
-Twisted Tails Escape Room (I've never done one before)
So, while it wasn't all it could have been, it was nevertheless a nice, easygoing experience in the horrendous knot of highways that is Dallas, and a much-needed reprieve from the chaos that was this summer. It's safe to say that Texas Furry Siesta remains my favorite furcon, and that I will thus be returning next year to check off all those boxes I missed. In the meantime, hopefully I'll see some of y'all at TTFC next weekend. Until then!
