Convention Thoughts?
14 years ago
So, it's been bugging me lately that I have yet to go to a good sized furry convention.
I've been to small meets, camping trips, and small events like Howloween, but never any of the big Cons like FC and such. Well, lately my craving to get more involved in the community has been kicking up a bit. I almost dropped off the face of the earth due to personal drama and getting life back on track. But I'd like to change that and start getting out more... I miss my fuzzy friends!
I think I'd like to go to some sort of Con next year. This year won't work financially, I'm already going to PAX and a Drupal con... So I'll have to wait until next year.
I pose a question to all the convention goers, if I'm gonna come down to the US sometime next year for a Con, which one do you recommend? I don't really care where I go, I can take get a plane to wherever... But does anyone have any suggestions? Good stories? Bad stories? Anything to help me decide?
Thanks!

We do have a small gathering here in Surrey BC, however, known as Howloween. It's located at the Compass Point Inn, about a stone's throw away from King George SkyTrain Station.
I think I've settled on AC next year :3
Of course, I did go to that Howloween event in '07. It was a lot of fun, especially when the Virtual Boy was brought out.
Hmmm, wonder if I can swing it this year. It would be kinda fun to go again :3
It's possible that you may run into people that you've always wanted to meet at AC, and a good chance they would recognize you.
I think I've decided on AC! I've heard so many good things about it, and it looks like a ton of fun. Plus like you said, a lot of people I know and want to meet with likely be there, so it'll give me a chance to finally get out and meet them! After all these years, lol.
Thanks for your thoughts! I definitely helped *purrs*
But yes, maybe you'll see me running around next year! ^_^
I'm really looking forward to it, there's so many great furs I've known for years that I have yet to actually meet! It'll be nice to finally get out there ^_^
PS- Love your character.
Haha, and yes, better get your stickers ready!
Awww, thanks! *purrs* ^_^
