Somewhat in-brief FWA con report
14 years ago
General
So FWA. It's done.
Got there Thursday after hectic driving in a 2 car carpool (me alone in one car), having to call the hotel while driving in traffic trying to keep up so I can get a friend in the room early...etc etc.
I felt that Thursday was Friday, same for pretty much everyone. Opening was on the first day (missed it) and some other stuff. I danced pretty much every night of the con except for dead dog (mainly because when I passed by the room the music sounded pretty bad/undanciable.
Saw 2, Uncle Kage, Ebel's concert (fucking A Runnt and him have a good vibe going). Pretty funny stuff.
I attempted to enter the fursuit dance competition. I should have known better. At the audition I was nervous, didn't have music and sorta dicked around. I knew I didn't do so good, but I thought I had a decent chance at qualifying. 20 people probably and I knew 3 were right out under me. But...well...I forgot there was only 12 spots, with about 4 or 5 of those automatically taken by the good people. Anyways, there was also Ticer Tiger, who I hear is a professional Russian ballerina or professional dancer. I assume so because well he's insane with skill. Then there's the fact he placed 3rd. Yeah, snowballs chance in hell. There also probably was 10-20 more people at the second audition. Just means I need to try harder next year. Jeff's being quite helpful with advice and tips. I am not entirely sure if I bombed the audition and he's just encouraging me, or if I just need a bit of work. A closed room and no visibility makes judging yourself pretty hard.
Talked a whole bunch with Dingoroo and a new guy I met Araclast. As well as Sir Raiu Koren, the reindeer.
I sorta felt that Livewire > Daverab as a magnet for attention. The suit is older and was featured in the 2010 recap video and the photos at the end of that con along with Dr. Pepper. I let both Leon and Laphin wear livewire, think I may be a little more lenient on lending out suits. Cleaning and all that.
Uh...played beatmania in suit...that was interesting. Cannot scratch with no grip.
Overall it was a blast.
