Con nonsense!
14 years ago
All in all, I had a damn good time! I love cons, and being part of this big ol' community and being around other furs from all the corners. It's a great experience!
High points of the con as I can think of them:
-Meeting up with local Oklahoma and Texas furs at Dennys before we convoyed to the con
-Stopping at McDonalds and being called out on my blackness because I ordered a fried chicken salad
-Belting out Lady GaGa on the highway in an attempt to keep from falling asleep, unaware that Chibi was watching me in her rearview mirror
-ALL THOSE CUTE COUNTRY BOYS AT THE WILBURTON MINI SUPERMARKET
-Confronting two old people in the camp and asking them if they were furries, and then meeting two others and having the older lady declare that she would "squat down and poop anywhere in the forest without a thought"
-That first night of sleep was HEAVENLY.
-Everything Kwaz the Drumming Raccoon related. TABLA >:E
-Everything Falconpunch related. I went home and practiced isolations!
-Watching Marvol play my bass :3
-Convoying out with Dobie and Torn and a bunch of other furs to Pizza hut and generally being loud and obnoxious.
-JULIE BUNNY MUST DIE.
-Dancing (modestly at first) at all the nightly dances, even though there was barely anyone there until the Dead dog dance, and THAT was a lot of fun :D
-Drawing the lollipop picture and having Crys help me with the hand after she saw me screwing up 100x times. Thanks!
-Getting rained on like a boss and cuddling up with Ganix to keep warm
-ENGLISH. TOFFEE. PUPPY. CHOW. HNNNNNRG. *explode*
-Everything Bucktown Tiger related, especially busting out every ghetto black line dance at the first dance to the techno music, that was great :D
-Coco's rap at the variety show, boss!
-losing my wallet. This is a high point, because I was really distraught for a bit, and Oki Doki told me "if you see it coming back to you, it wil;l." So for the rest of the day, i held to that statement, and focused on art and actually got a few commisions. Later that following morning as I woke up, I got out of bed, and my wallet fell out from between my covers. I know for a FACT I ripped my entire bedspace apart and nitpicked everything atleast 10 times over. I have no idea how my wallet got there. I'm blaing it on divine intervention. Thanks Oki for giving me hope.
-Hanging out in the bathroom with half the con after the tornado sirens went out, and having someone go pee right there in front of everyone. That was GREAT.
-EVERYTHING THAT I ATE AT THE MESS HALL.
-Volunteering Friday for a while washing dishes. I don't really care more than necessary about the big things in life like money, cars, fame. Seeing people look you in the eye ans say, "thank you" for a bit of service is where its at. Try it sometime.
-I can't remember who it was, but down at the campfire someone was spinning fire poi to Kwaz's drumming. That was phenomenal. I <3 your face.

Low points, just two really:
-On the way down my battery died, and I had to buy a new one. 112 bucks. On the way back home, my brand new battery died, leaving me stranded about 25 miles out from Henryetta. No cellphone service, so 35 minutes passed and a highway patrolman spotted me and called me a wrecker who said he'd be there in 45 minutes. Took him two hours and 15. tow was 125 bucks. Turns out the alternator had fried. Cost 315 bucks to have it fixed, and a five hour awkward wait in the lobby of the place. The lasy was really nice though, gave me some Mazzio's Pizza and watched me draw for a bit. I'm soooo lucky to have had my wallet returned to me otherwise I'd be screwed like a asian schoolgirl. I had to use part of my rent money to pay for it, so next month is gonna be rough financially, but I'll pull through, I always do.
-I really really REALLY miss everyone :( Talk to me on AIM! Post con sadness always gets me. I will find a way to visit all of you somehow!
I cannot WAIT for Oklacon! I'm trying to put together a dance for the variety show. I've been challenging myself to get a little more serious about dancing, so this is my shot :D

First change I get I'm jumping ship to a 3g provider.
We need to hang some time...seriously.
I really need to get outta this out and have a lil no monster time.
@-@
I haven't had a night to hang with people in ages.
Save me some time? Lol.
That was swift, colorful, and awesome haha! I always try to be too thorugh.
Thank DOG your wallet turned up. That's nuts yo, but the fucker turned up so muy bueno on that one yo!
Heh and yea you need to dance more son! You obviously enjoy the hell out of it and obviously know how!^_^ You were seriously busting some ass and gettin Yo'Groove on at the dances:D~
And yea I can't remember that dude's name down at the fire who was doing the poy, but Torn has video of him. I'm pretty sure hes' the same dude who was doing it with the lights and the flag things, at the dance as well.
And holy fucking Jesus, that sucks about your car! Damn, now I feel horrible that it was you, and we didn't stop, cause we weren't sure. FFFUCK. Next time I'm gonna go on instinct and simply turn around, or have Torn turn around. He was the one who spotted you, but wasn't sure. Arf, please forgive us for not stopping -_-.
Aahh "PCD" becomes less of an issue after enough cons or enough time with furries hehe. You'll be hangin with our silly asses soon enough I'm sure^^. Hopefully you can make it up for one of the bi-weekly meets again^_^.
But we can always chill on AIM dawg :)
<3 You are welcome to IM me at any point. :3 (my AIM is mawmutt)
Sucks that you had to spend so much for alternator shtuff and towing. :<
I also landed a gig this friday with the jazz combo, so thats an extra 60 bucks, even more if we get a good crowd who knows how to tip.
I'll be fine. Thanks for the thoughts!
