FC over :(

Got to meet Meesh, Kadath, Necrodrone, Rukis, Shinigamigirl, FEL, and a couple of other artists. There's alot of artists I wanted to meet but didn't get the opportunity.
Attended a few panels, most were exceptionally well done, fast paced lots of topic covered. There was a panel I attended where I had a mis-preconception about what was being done at the panel*, which detracted from my overall experience in that particular panel. I just kind of wish there were better descriptions on what was going on.
Missed alot of panels I was going to attend, due to bad habit of not keeping track of accurate time, getting lost watching the furries do what furries do ;p and just trying to enjoy watching everyone else have fun.
Panels I did make:
Anthropomorphic Sculpture - Fri 3-430, California
Colored Marker/Pencil - Sat 1-230, Empire
Making Digital Art Cheap - Sat 3-430, Fairfield *
Anatomy and Art - Sun 8-930, Glen Allen
Anatomy and Art (Adult) - Sun 10-1130, Glen Allen
I failed to make:
Digital Zone: Illustrator - Fri 1-230, Fairfield
Figurine Sculpture - Sat 5-630, California
Adult Dragon Panel - Sat 10-1130, Glen Allen
Hightech tools in Artistic Expression - Sat 11-1230, Fairfield
Poses & Expression - Sun 11-1230, Fairfield
Manga Studio - Sun 1-230, Empire
Also missed DJM's DJing at a room party on Sunday night :(
Missed Lilglendoggy in the Creators lounge all weekend, and Shadowkeeper attempted to meet but we never actually wound up being in the same place at the same time.....
Won a super awesome piece by FEL in the art auction, as well as nice pieces by MilesDF and Rukis.
Watched Legion (don't waste your time) and Dr. Parnassis at the Camera 12, which wasn't a terrible theater.
Spent most of the con alone, except when I saw DJM to pick up the comic he made to pass out, and when I was chatting with artists for sketches in the dealers room. I definitely need to have people to hang with for any future cons.
I might have to change my stance on not being here to make friends also, there were alot of cool people at the dealers areas, and people I didn't meet but saw just having fun all over the hotel. I got a real big kick out of seeing furries in costume mingling with people outside the con helping handicapped across the street, taking pictures, acting goofy etc, getting pictures with children and such, it really was a blast. Going to try as hard as I can to make it out to AC, which has been described to me as the biggest of all.

FA+

Twitter can aggregate everyone's tweets into a single list, which is convenient since you can see the most up to date info on where someone's heading - assuming they update regularly. And it works if you have an iPod Touch, phone, laptop - yeah, usually Internet access is needed. Unsure if a Kindle can access that too, but maybe!
If you have +watch on people, then if they're updating FA journals again you can see updates and click on the ones you are the most interested on -- all dependant on Internet connectivity.
I just don't travel as it's spendy, results in my missed list being even greater than yours, coming home with little to show for it, usually catching some germs, and almost always getting seated right near the loudest brat on the plane *near deaf now*, and as well my luggage does get lost (always fun), and curious little items find themselves missing from them. And I PAY to send my bags on airplanes? Gee, thanks! Forget it.
You could have my email or phone for the asking, but somehow I doubt you'd ever be in El Paso. Nobody ever comes here. I'm safe from visits even from the Devil himself! This is where he sends the bad people from Hell...
Already covered twitter.
Until FA gets a REAL and USEABLE note system in place, as well as the option to turn journals off for specific people this is a no go. I have to sift through 50 journals of pure drivel daily, if I read every single one I would lose several hours a day. ;p
No qualms with your perception on travel etc ;p
