FA:U Review or Why I slept for 24 hours today.
15 years ago
"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it." ~Audrey Hepburn
So, Now that i literally spent a full 24 hours sleeping to recover from the con exhaustion, I figure Ill toss up my review of the awesomeness and tell you all what you missed.
(There may be mild language and mention of unmentionable appendages...you have been warned?)
Friday, was boring as hell. There was a huge group in the beginning around 8am but as soon as the free bacon was eaten, everyone vanished into the ether. It didn't help much either that a lot of people got there specifically at 8 for pre-reg and the staff didn't open things until almost quarter to ten...
That's two hours of time that I could have kept on sleeping, and considering I'd had about oh maybe 4 hours over the course of 3 days....yeah...this pony was annoyed but it ended up being a nice little powwow for those hours at least.
Saturday, was full of epic win. Epic WIN I tell you...W-I-N
I will keep this brief and sum it up as thus: 5 Back rubs + Free Horsey Pron + Free Noms + Ridiculous mounds of awesome commissions + Not being the only pony there + Awesome people (You know who you are!) = Happy V
I didnt leave the con until 3am on Saturday.
Oh, oh and the MED-KIT is teh awesomes! I will be making an Ubercannon for next year regardless of what the theme happens to be, that is how much the Med-kit has inspired me with its awesomeness.
Next FA:U I shall be Medic Pony. Huzzah!
Sunday was a bit less awesome than Saturday, but still gratifying in its essence.
I was working most of the day Sunday guarding the dealers den, the con suite, and generally corralling those who were far too inebriated to be left unmonitored. The Marriott hotel has got to have the best hotel staff I've ever encountered. They were so laid back and friendly but still professional at the same time and their food was incredibly affordable and super tasty as well.
Somehow, I ended up volunteering and working all 3 days of the Con.
It was totally worth it not only for the experience but earning free registration for next year didn't hurt either.
Some of you may have been herded by me, or told to STFU in the halls. I also ended up corralling some drunks and I was the one with the big gay purple heart shaped glow stick that ended up directing the back end of the fursuit parade. It was like doing air traffic control, but with peoples butts instead of planes.
I have discovered, through the course of working the Con, that I am extremely good at herding large groups. One would think I would have known this prior to the con considering I am a horse, but It was very interesting to just see huge crowds obeying my requests with very little repetition of instructions.
If I got you with the glowstick of shiny heart shaped purple faggotory, its effects have now worn off so stop blaming me for your buttsex!
You people that I made vows to stalk, I will be stalking you now because I'm awake.
If I promised to stalk you and I forgot, then poke at me damnit! Mutual stalking must be mutual, ya kno?
Sadly I wont be making it to Anthrocon this year unless I come into some serious funds some time soon or I get kidnapped... but I will be at Anthrocon next year.
