So, as some people may know, I went to Year 2 of Furnal Equinox this past weekend. Overall, it was pretty nice, though I feel that this year I didn't really *do* much at the con. The main problem I had with the con this year was that the panels that I wanted to attend happened at 10 am on Friday before I even got there, and then at 4 - 6 pm today, when I had to be home. Nothing else seemed to grab my attention that much. Video Game room was cool. Met a few people (although briefly) and got to say Hi and chat a bit with friends I saw at the con, so it was nice overall. Here's a bit of a breakdown for those interested.

DAY 1 (Friday, March 11th 2011)
Got up, showered and made a final check of everything. Put my stuff in the car and then drove to Burlington to pick up Ayres from her place. We went to see her mate at his work, then to her work to get some supplies. From there we were off to the con. Got there and checked into our room. The hotel gave us fresh, warm cookies on check in. I was floored. And they were SO good. From there we got our room keys and then took 3 trips back and forth to the room with our stuff because they didn't have any luggage carts.

We chilled in the room for a few and got set up, then wondered down to the con space. We sat and mingled a bit and then went to Opening Ceremonies. From there we decided to get food at the Japanese place in the hotel (and right beside the con space) Ginko's. It was a little pricey, but overall it was absolutely divine food. Ayres and I shared Gyoza and Yakitori, and she got some sushi and rice and I got some beef teriyaki type dish. After that we got out Apples to Apples and played with a few of the people we met last year. Got back to the room, had some snacks and went to bed.

DAY 2 (Saturday, March 12th 2011)
Got up, showered, and went to check out some stuff around the con. Got some stuff from the dealers den (some Prints from Zen, who's a very nice guy. Nice to meet you!) and then some gaming. Went with Ayres to the pool. Very nice hot tubs and pool, even if the chlorination was a little strong. We showered again and then wandered around a bit, waiting for Ayres' mate to meet us there. He got there by 9ish and we went out and had some food. Jack Asstors. Good food and reasonable prices. Got home and I laid down and rested while the other two went to look for a room party because I had a hell of a headache.

DAY 3 (Today, Sunday, March 13th 2011)
Got up and took a look over everything and said Hi's and Byes to those I had run into again before I left. Got some more Zen Prints (naughty ones this time) and then we got some lunch at Harvey's, drove Ayres and Alfer home, then came home myself.

Didn't do any fursuiting due to not feeling well on Saturday, otherwise I would have done some and actually been in the parade. I dunno, it seems I' get sick at the wrong times when it comes to it. But I did have fun and will look forward to next year, hopefully with a few more friends to share the fun with! Hope everyone else had fun and for those I met this year reading this, don't be shy, feel free to drop me a line on messengers, comments or notes!
