FA:U con report
18 years ago
General
OK, let's get this outta the way cuz it has to be said. The con hotel was not that great. Not the staff, but the hotel itself, lost A/C during the con, had a strange mould-like smell to the hallway near where I stayed, and well, sorry, one word...Newark, heheh ^_^ I was raised in NJ, so I can say that!
*EDIT* YES there is gonna be a new much cooler hotel next year ^_^ So yeah, cannot wait, and still was a great experience to just meet lotta cool furs and hang with friends, new and old. Just like a good con should be like!*
OK, NOW to all the coolness of the con!! Con staff..awesome! Friendly and helpful; for a first time con they did great. I arrived Saturday afternoon and took a spot in the dealer room near Blotch the GOH's. They seemed really cool and preofessional and awesome artists! I sold some CDs and did some sketchbooks, thanks to all that got one from me, I always love it!
The thing I enjoyed the most bout this con, since compared to other cons, was fairly small....though a great number for a first year con, lil over 300...the thing I enjoyed most was hanging out with friends. Since the hotel was not ginormous it was easier to find folks and just hang out. Though the lack of a general zoo area for large numbers of people to hang out in was a lil sad, though I am sure it is something that they will get in the new hotel next year. ^_^ I got to just hang out and enjoy room parties and time with friends more than I usually do at the larger cons. Meeting people and new artists was a blast.
So, if you missed it...HA! hehe nah, just go next year!! It was a great con!

Dag, I must be square...
Some of the rooms have been remodeled, but apparently they were a little slow on the draw. :| The hotel is actually being taken over as a Wyndham next year, but we're not going to be back. :)
We've got a better hotel in mind -- and we're gonna need it.
Toronto/Canada in general has no decent furry cons.
And I'm still gonna get you for that one thing. >.<
Great staff for the con, great artists, good fun, but a stinky and hot hotel =p
Hopefully I'll make it next year when I'm actually in the lower 48 :3
Glad you had a good time.
If you're at Furfright, I'll have something you might be interested in sampling.

I will be with my BF and will be his first time at a Furry Convention. We also will be in our rubber (nothing flashy), but he will be possibly wearing a Zebra Catsuit, Zebra hood with zipper mouth including mane, and zebra tail with boots.
Special Ordered of course and pricey o_o. Me of course i will be wearing my CatMask and everything else. Looking forward in meeting you and others. Keep in touch whenever you feel like it :3. I will hopefully at least get to say hi and shake paws with you ^_^.
