my AC experience...
18 years ago
well, for sake of plugs and props, i'm gonna try to post icons for as many peeps as possible... forgive me if they dont' work or something...lol
well, goodbye 4th of july, hello Anthrocon... i wasn't pleased with the fact that it took place at this particular time frame, but oh well... i left at 3AM, july 4th... drove with my friend all the way there, we got lost once but no biggy, what sucked was driving into pittsburgh at the end of the fireworks display (and the resulting traffic jam that caused me to have to drive around in the same 1 mile area for 2 hours...) around midnight i finally arrive at the center, which is crawling with furs already, woohoo... I parked and ran into my friend
revenent and the guy i was rooming with, seth. we went upstairs to meet a few more people, i can't recall everyone that was there then, but i met Kaze, i know... that night went by fairly decently, and i went to bed, assured that registration would be a royal BITCH the next morning...
July 5th, I got up and went to Registration, and i got to stand in line with
lekko in front of me playin his PSP, and Kaze in suit behind me, while i was chatting on my DS (with kaze randomly snatching it to scritch something into the touchscreen at random, lol). ultimately registration wasn't as bad as i thought it would be... me & lekko got through it fairly easily, whereafter we went to get somethin to drink and then he took me to his room and showed me his art stuffs... a-freaking-mazing stuff to see it for real, like that... :) then he and his friends went out to sushi, and i tagged along, downing a marble-sized ball of wasabi just to make em laugh...oh big mistake, lol. then it was time to try and chase down something to eat that i was used to eating...hey the kwik-e-mart had moon pies, i was sold...lol at some point I did meet the rest of Rev & Seth's gang of friends...
Kofu
audidmutt
tmfox
f0xt0dd
foxglove
kiowolf Famo, teej, and Grif... spent all day socializing and that night i was overseeing the inebriated *chuckles*
July 6th I woke up on someone else's floor, got dressed and followed Rev out, we went to the dealers den and chilled out, i met
kevlar
fuzzyroo and plastick and i also kinda met
pinkuh and lucky coyote... i was too shy to actually say anything and introduce myself lol, first day of the con i was just the little guy following someone around yknow... after that i went to see seth for a bit while he was getting fangs done... then i went to see 2's show with rev before i left to see another friend of mine. i saw most of 2's show then left to go to Canton for the night, and met
sibertigr and we spent the night together, he's awsome too... also, sometime during the day i think it was this day i went to sushi again with rev and ?Dex? (that coon magician guy i believe?)
July 7th. Woke up with Siber and we spent the day together, went to eat chinese, and spent the day just cuddling and enjoying each other's company...around mid-evening we left, Siber came back with me to meet
felixpath because felix was going to meet kritter by bus, and he had a "45 minute layover" in the greyhound, less than a mile from the convention center so me & siber went there, and we got there just as his layover was scheduled to start... we waited for a few minutes and then went inside to see if he was in there...wow was it hellish, siber saw felix while i was checking the arrivals, and we went over and started talking to him...sadly a "45 minute layover" is apparently interpreted as "you spend those 45 minutes getting off the bus and back onto the next one" so our meeting was like...5 minutes long..i was a little heartbroken at it being such a short and public meeting :P but at the same time i was very happy to have met another one of my dearest friends in person...however short it was...that and i was sad to hear about his problems with the chicago terminal the next day...and i was also sad cuz i wanted to get back in time to go fetch fuzzyroo cuz i know he would have loved to meet him too... :P Siber stayed the night with me, thanks to seth's grace and permission <3
July 8th, I got up and took siber back home, and came back to the con just in time to sit down and relax with seth while he regaled the end of the con to me and we just chatted before heading to the glorious end-of-con mixer at the zoo (for the uneducated LIKE ME... the zoo, as it turns out, is referring to the lounge upstairs in the westin's lobby floors, NOT the actual zoo in pittsburgh, IF THERE IS ONE THERE) at the zoo, i met the graces of my ex (but still very close friend)
fullbloodlion as well as
damaratus
fossil
maxblackrabbit
stickdevil and (i THINK)
dcrabbit aside from that i also hung out with rev and his friends for a bit, i met a bunny suiter named...ace? and (again i think...)
lace
alas i cannot recall the time because it was a chance encounter... i met
thesonicgod as well, a longtime friend of mine from back when i was still even in high school... and i graduated in 02...
which leaves alas, but the day of the end...monday...i got up and we got checked out (after some trouble, i wont elaborate, i'm sorry, its not my place to) and i said my farewells to as many people as i could, and had one last chance to hang out with pinkuh and kofu and the gang... tho again i didn't speak much at all...sorry guys... I got out of town and drove to meet another friend of mine, siber's mate,
industrialwaste9 and sadly only got to hang out with him in a public setting, i wanted to give him cuddles... and it was only for like an hour or two... then i continued my long journey home...which put me back in town just in time to go to work... ugh...driving SUCKS...
NOW... i hope i didn't miss anyone...sadly i know i missed a few at the con... Streak...DOPR... and i had to bail on FBL & Damaratus before i got to meet the fabulous glenndoggy, i r pwnd... :P i also missed a chance to meet the fabulously awsome 'gami as well :P or raven, or maybe sharue (i can't recall if sha was going or not, but prints were available to buy...hmm)
oh, and damnit, Fossil, Max, stick, and DC freakin are awsome to hang out with, again i was too shy and crap to actually say anything most of the time but still, if you get the chance to hang out with them, do it, they are badass dudes
NOW, if anyone is in this journal and you can't understand why, lol... review your days at the con and you MOST LIKELY know Sethcat or Revenent... I was the dude about shoulder high to them with the purple nylon collar that was following them around doing random crap like holding stuff, etc...etc... if you STILL don't get it, IM me and we'll figure it out, lol...
