New to the Fandom
15 years ago
So everyone,
A couple of my friends (Deca and Alistar) have been slowly trying to get me into the fandom for a couple of years now and I must say I am sad that I did not get into it earlier.
This weekend was my first Furry Convention and I have to say I had a GREAT time!!! I want to send some great complements to the staff, volunteers, and vendors at Furry Convention North and the staff at the Sheraton in Novi, MI.
I never thought that going to a furry convention would be so much fun. I went with some of my friends (Zeboa Zen and Harlequin) and met with Deca, Draco, and Alistar. I was pretty nervous because it was my first time around all of those mysterious furries. I don't think I have ever seen that many of AMAZINGLY nice people all in one place. I don't think I ran into anyone who wasn't kind.
I spent some time in a couple of panels and in the vendor's room. However, I spent a lot of my time in the Game Room at FCN watching and playing Rock Band. I met some awesome band during the Rock Out Knock Out Tournament called "Stupid Drunk Furries". I don't know about the first adjective but they definitely were drunk on "motivation" which contained Gatorade and Vodka . These guys welcomed me into their band as their light guy and one of their groupies. It was really fun singing with the guys when other competing bands were playing "Living on a Prayer".
Some other great highlights were listening to Uncle Kage ranting, watching the failure of trying to blend Glo-Sticks in a Blendtek Blender, watching Draco DJing and dancing at the Saturday Night Dance, going for Bubble Tea in Ann Arbor with Alistar, Zeboa Zen, Harlequin, and Teddy, and getting my first con badge and panda ears.
Before FCN2010, I wasn't sure whether I was a furry. I had decided if I was, I was going to be a Giant Panda. As soon as I felt how welcoming the fandom is and once I picked a name for my fursona, I knew this is where I should be.
Shout out to some of my new friends: Odendo, Kyotsu, Nanaki, Aurora, Mozee, Dingo, BunnyHugger, Wag!, FoxTuba, Odin and Irish Fox (as well as the other two guys of the Stupid Drunk Furries), {edit} and Eenyu (I forgot how to spell her name until today).
And a special thanks to Sandy Schreiber for helping bring my fursona to life by drawing my first con badge.
