This journal will probably be a bit long... X'D.. no need to read the lot, this is mainly just a personal journal i wrote for my memories!
This time last week, Crazy and I were headed off to QLD for the first time and for the first time going to FurDu!
Thurs: Left 1/2hr late to drive up to Sydney and of course, there was delays and such which always give me fear of making us late. We eventually got to the Car Parking place with only 15mins to spare before check-in closes!! X___x Got in and checked in for tickets, then lined up to check in the bags, we were in line for about 30sec before it was announced those on our flight to go to the front and be checked in! SOO we were very close on missing our flight >.>... but.. as a plus, we didnt need to wait in line!! XD
Arrived at the Gold Coast and got picked up by Husky and Chevy who then took us to the hotel. After check in was all sorted we proceeded up to our room to dump stuff. XD
Went for a walk around only to find that this place was AWESOME there was so many great things that had to be seen!!! X"D and found a good $10 fish and chips deal =3
That night was rather restless, both crazy and I didnt sleep too good.. and at one point I screamed and scared crazy >.< (I never do that or talk in my sleep.. so yeh... bad night X.x)
Fri: We went to one of the awesome places I found the night before!! Ripleys Believe it or Not museum! YEEEYYYY!!! This place just rocked one thing after another!! What drew me in was the creepy but awesome animatronic display out the front... (I have ALOT of video of this and everything that I hope to edit up in the coming months.. when I get a damn new compy!)
After that we went to the Dracula's Haunted House! Which was just awesome all over.. but (IMO) totally not scary in the least.. just all the props and effects made it SOOO good!! (at one point a mum and her girls came through and chickened out at the kevin rudd ingestion part X'D)
After we finished this mad mad place we went back to the hotel to register and get badges! =) We then proceeded to get dinner!
After food it was time for the intro and dance! Everything was very well planned out and was presented awesomely ^_^ The dance was great even with not alot of lighting props, it looked like there was many! =) It was very pretty, loud and so much fun!! ^O^
Sat: Got up early to get ready to go to Putt Putt! ^_^ Although we ended up being late, we didnt miss a thing! We played the outside course, it was a really nice day =D Lots of fun and much silliness had! After that we had sushi train!! OM NOM! X'D
And theeeennnn it was time for Timezone!! Its been about 12 or more years since I last went to one, and this particular one is the largest in Aus! We got the deal $20 thing and played lots of sideshow type games and won some virtual tickets, then when the next hour rolled over it was time for Dodgems and Laser Tag!! (my armour thing was named 'pikachu' ! I was on the yellow team! X'D and crazy was Bumble Bee!) So much fun! But there was the few small children that stand in front of you and keep shooting over and over >.>... I didnt come last, but i did suck! X'D My best achievement was destroying one of the bases >:3 (got bouncy balls worth of tickets! XD)
Dinner break!
The Furry Game Show!! Now this was hilarious!! QLD vs TAS (or in other words.. everyone else!) Again, a very well organised event that went smoothly, much entertainment was had and enjoyed by all!! Loved every minute of it!! <3
Sun: After a late night, I got Crazy up to have some brekky and to then drag him along to the Smash Bros Tourney! Although it was entertaining and fun to watch, poor crazy was knocked out in the first round... (this does not help when the state champion was in it too! X'D) So after this I got Crazy to help me suit up for the EPICLY AWESOME PHOTOSHOOT by
! It was super awesome and so well set out, this tops ALL photoshoots i've ever seen!!! XD <3<3 (Will upload a couple shortly!)
Chilled for a while listening to Dyluck play the piano... which was rather awesome! especially when donkey kong country 2 music and banjo kazooie was played!.. WIN!
Then I claimed a spot for the dealers den. First time ever having a table at any con/selling stuff in person! And I finally got to sell some of my rainbow fluffs!! =D And.. I hadnt planed to, but I was also asked for some art! ^o^ So I did two artsie pieces too!! During the dealers den part, we had this awesme event called.. Iron Artist! Think Iron chef, but creating art, not food, although the challenge was making art.. with food! Cake and icing to be precise! X3 Everyone voices was 'dubbed' much like Iron chef and it was one of the funniset things ever!! I was dying with laughter!!! Kaz did some super cool voice overs here XD ... then a bit more dealers den, all up I made $100 =D This paid for our trip to Infinity! A mad laser/light show thing of weirdness, You got through lots of rooms in darkness or mirrors decked out with lights of insanity! It went alot shorter than I'd hoped, but it was pretty crazily fun! We went with a whole bunch of furs making it even more fun of an experience!
After this, we also got some din dins with a bunch of awesome peeps before heading back in time for the closing words and dance!
Here we heard the 'new' news for Midfur, changing its dates and that it was to be held at a convention centre! Technically it would be MiNfur now.. but they arnt changing the name :p.....The closing was nice and chilled, not too professional, so it gives that nice relaxed atmosphere ^__^ and then the dance begun!
It was here that I exited with Tinycat to discuss the next days happenings but we ended up just chilling in the games room with Hattie and Dyluck... which then merged into a Wii Games game! Hatties Wii has many many random Mii's on it, and I chose to be 'Dolf' the hitler mii! XD It was a nice long board game type game and with many hilarious moments, I really enjoyed chilling out with these guys and having a good game! I went to find crazy when I came across an epic synced dance fest in the dance room, all of them fursuiters! Too late for me to join, so i got out the camera and took much videos!! After that I went back to the games room were we played a 'how well you know me' type game.. i was quite fail, but when it time for people to guess my answers, Tiny Cat got 100%! EpiC XD
After that we finished and I proceed to find the Crazy and we flailed and danced pretty much until it ended! ^o^ Had lots of fun being silly pretty much on our lonesome in the smoke and lasers XD more joined in near the end and it was epic! After it had finished we helped with clean up to make everything faster for our busy con hosts! =D
All in all I had such a great time!! There was no boring bits or slow parts, just pure epic greatness! We'll be sure to attend next year!!
Mon: After a long night/ big day previously, we still had to get up early to check out! All was well and we boarded the Red Rocket Land Rover of Dylucks with TinyCat aswell to head up to Brisbane ^^ Arriving at Teh Kitty's joint we relaxed and had some tea, Hattie arrived and we soon all sat around the compy to listen to Actfur's new episode! ^____^ *Hooruh for bacon Quest!!* X'D
Tiny was super mecha-mc awesome pants to give me one of his old Gameboy Advance SP's with Pokemon Yellow!! X"""D! EEE!!!!! <3 I'm totally owing him something EPIC!! X'D Now I can play the advance games I've always wanted tooOOO!!! ^O^ AAWRRR YEHHHHH!!!! =D
Later that day we headed off to Oz Roo's place. Most were sleeping/ movie watching. I watched Atpaw work his magic on the photoshoot pics! X"D then we all piled into cars and went to Pizza Hut! (the kind with a buffet!!! XD).. (dont have ANY of these around no more!! so this rocked!) It was actually super nom and the dessert was my fave!! smidgen of ice cream drowned in hot choc fudge and choc chips!! =3 One nasy moment happened, crazy made a concoction of gross in his pepsi (pepsi being gross already..) he added colslaw, pizza, ice cream with cone.. and what ever else he had into this glass of gross....X.x... it looked like sick.. but the worst part was when Kaz drank it!!!! X___________X (I have it on film!!..or mem card to be correct XD) It was NASTY!!
Then back for some sleeeeeep X.x
Tues: I got up early and every one was asleep.. so I made this an opportunity to go to some caching in QLD =D The area around Oz's place is really really pretty, and I even found what I think was a small farm! (paddocks and horses too! XD) all in the middle of Brisbane =P Found the 2 close by and returned.. people still sleeping!! Went for one more and then people where awake when i got back =D
Went over the road to the mall for some foods for lunch and then soon after headed to the airport..... Now this is where it gets interesting!
We were dropped of by Oz at around 4 ish, 2hrs early for our flight, but Oz needed to go places, so that was all sweet. I checked in and as we put in our bags we hear that our plane is delayed 45mins... Hmm, ok.. thats not bad... hung around for a bit browsing stores.. then noticed our flight was delayed 1.5hrs!! X.x gah! Bought a souvenir and a book, crazy got a mag and then our flight was delayed even more! X.x... 3hrs!! Now.. its getting frustrating >.<
Now by 8ish Oz was back again dropping off another fur, and he asked if out flight was cancelled, it wasnt a that point, but only minutes later.. we all hear.. Our flight.. along with two others, is cancelled!! O_____O;; We noticed people running for their lives as if a bomb was about to blow... but we soon realised it was to get first in line for the re-booking! We walked.. fast.. and I made a good enough spot in line.. still about 1/2 hr or more until I finally got new tickets for the next day ... the line behind me... if it was stretched out straight, i reckon would have been a good 100m of people! As another 2 flights was then cancelled!
Why did this happen?? well it was all because in Sydney, 16 people went through security gates that were not working.. SOO the entire airport of people had to be re-screened! Even all the people on the planes!! X.x which in the end, cause 15 flights to Sydney cancelled as they were all backed up waiting for people =(
SOOOO... poor Oz took us back again... ;__; (sorry Oz!!)
Wed: Sooo New flights... today, Oz took us back.. again.. =( We got in and all was sweet... only 10mins late, but we got on! YEY!
Arrived all dandy, got the shutle to our car annnnnd.. the car wont start...*sigh* We were there for about 20 min and the car decided to work again... we figured the petty pump is on its way out!
Driving in peak hour.. slow... got to the Gong.. and... SUPER slow, checked phone why... 10 car accident on the HWY!.. gyah! Just close enough to squeeze by cars and take the exit into the gong itself. Got KFC.. Crazy locked the keys in the boot O.o... got it open after some effort >.>.... then headed home avoiding the affected part of HWY.
Eventually... we did get home! =D Gave chookin's cuddles!! We missed them very much ^__^
