FWA 2011 From The Perspective of a Folfsky
14 years ago
For me, this con started Wednesday afternoon, and it went a little something like this:
Wednesday, 3/16/2011 3:00pm - I texted a few people trying to find a ride from my dorm in midtown to get a ride to downtown. Eventually, around 3:30, a friend of mine was able to arrive here and give me a ride to the hotel!
3:50pm - I arrived, and saw several people unloading the moving truck full of FWA stuff. I took my bags, placed them against the wall, and proceeded to help move the stuff off the truck, but not into the hotel. As I was watching Ulf and
ranan dragging everything off the truck, I turned around to see a crowd of people walking towards me, and the person that sticked out the most was
skroy, with his bright crimson red jacket. We pounce-hugged each other ^^ A few minutes later of catching up with Skroy, I was poked by someone I didn't recognize, but it turned out it was Reactiv (
russiantiger
ticer)! You look a lot different with your hair grown out :3 Of course, I had to bug
frisbee, 'cause we're Alabama dogs :p Skroy introduced me to a bunch of people that I can't remember the names of.
6:00pm - After several pictures, I decided to hand out my cookies, Monster, and water to anyone who wanted it. The truck was unloaded, so Skroy, Frisbee, Reactiv, and I went up to the lobby to meet other people. I didn't know who they were at first, but Skroy introduced me to them as well, which were
doryuu
kendoro
diggyroo and that other guy I can't remember D:
7:00pm - We all had no idea it was getting so late, so Skroy, Frisbee, guy I can't remember, Doryuu, Kendoro, and I went to the mall and ate at Chik-fil-A.
..... This is taking too long .......
That night, I went to a small room party, had a couple drinks, and listened to the stories of
fursuiting
chronomega and I think
conankitty until 3am. I stayed up until 6am helping
feartree and
damianshadowpaw and ended up sleeping in Damian's room.
Thursday, 3/17/2011 1:30pm - Took all my stuff (two bags :P), attack hugged
Wayco went down to the registration office to help Feartree some more. A huge line was forming as the registration systems broke. I got bored, so I helped Kaelin with the hospitality suite. I went to the opening ceremonies, went to the dance, but got annoyed because of the dubstep, watched over Frisbee 'cause he passed out in the hall, don't remember what happened after that...
Friday, 3/18/ 2011 - I stayed up until around 6am and fell asleep in the Artist's Alley for an hour. I woke up freezing and went into the hallway to warm up. I went to the registration office and the long line was back there again. yadda yadda yadda, nothing happened all day. I went to sleep in the con suite for 3 hours. Took a shower in Mae's room, went to Tea Time, furry girls meet and greet with Tsuki, hung out with Tavi, Omni, Rama, Seaweed, and others, went to Mangusu's Furry Dating Game (which was awesome :D), did something, went to Kiyo's dance :3
Saturday 3/19/2011 - around 3am, I fell asleep under a table in the fursuit lounge, ended up getting caught, and then fell asleep in some hidden corner until 9am. hung out with Lunar, ended up missing the fursuit parade. went to fursuit construction to bother mirage :3, went to the pool for tea time, saw a photo shoot and took some pics, went to the bar with Zaine and Lunar, hung out with Feros and his friends, snuck my camera through a door and snapped a picture, went to Doryuu's room party, went to Milk n' Cookies! ^^, left and went back to Doryuu's party, then went to the dance competition, and then I followed Skroy with 5 others to his room for a party where I tried several things for the first time ;o Someone got sick, saw a guy passed out with a tower of junk on top of him, and ended up passed out on the couch covered in pillows around 4am.
Sunday 3/20/2011 - woke up around 11:30am, had to grab my things that were in someone else's room, went to the last bit of Kage's story, hung out in the fursuit lounge, went to the GAfurs greet for a bit, hung out in the registration office until closing ceremonies, went to that, stayed at the Q&A, then followed Skroy and friends for a calm get-together which ended blowing up tremendously. I got super crazy and had an awesome night ^^ I passed out who-knows-when...
MONDAY 3/21/2011 - Woke up around 9am, helped Skroy and Friends pack up, went and grabbed my bags from Feartree's room, moved stuff down to the lobby, said goodbyes to a few people, peeled like, 15 tangerines, went to eat across the street at Gyro King, and then went to the fursuit bowling and had an awesome dinner at Mary Mac's!
........ and then I had to say goodbye to everyone and was taken back to my lonely dorm room T.T No good food or friends to hang out with D:
But now I have memories to carry on :3 and new friends to say hi to ^^
