Back from Oklacon
18 years ago
Well my dear God my legs are killing me.
I swear nothing beats Oklacon for a convention. You want to get out in the woods and see furries just hanging out and having a good time? Go to Oklacon. You want to walk around hundreds of other nameless faces and be another cog in the machine? Go any oversized con.
300 people at the con and you get to meet and see every single solitary one of them instead of just passing in the halls. You're all sitting in front of a campfire and waiting to see what Crazy John is going to burn next.
One of these days he's going to set a tree on fire.
Oh and if you are a fursuiter? Perfect convention.
Heats not so bad during the day that you can't walk around and play games in suit. But .... Night. When everyone is throwing on sweaters and jackets to stay warm you can stay in suit ALL NIGHT and not get overheated or anything. The weather is like being in a headless lounge but you just want to keep the head on.
I could not BEGIN to list the names of all the people I got to see this year. There were SO many but I have to say this was indeed the best Oklacon EVER. Walking up the hill to see 30 furs and three FURSUITS getting hit with shaving cream pies was priceless. Extra points to Jugular Jaguar, Zephyr, and Dingo for having the balls to pull that one off.
And Pred/Prey was absolutely priceless. Me playing Fire as usual and having Selkit as The Ghost of Steve Irwin send someone to throw water on me and 'Put Fire out' I don't think I could have laughed so hard.
Oh wait I did laugh harder. When I flying Leap-tagged Isfacat when he went up to 'Big Buisness' thinking they were 'Wind' to get in a safe zone from me. I think the exact words were.
Isfa: Why Hello 'The Wind' can you tell me Where 'Steve Irwins Ghost'is?
*dramatic pause as I am running at Isfa full steam*
Big Buisness: I am not 'The Wind'
Isfa with HUGE wide eyes: OH SHIT
Both of us run up the hill with Isfa trying to get to the safe zone as fast as he can with me gaining ground quickly until I flying leap and tag his leg for the Epic Win.
Check out You Tube for his revenge. We were talking about that one for the entire rest of the con.
The only bad part about the thing was Beryl was there AKA 'Carpet Scraps' AKA 'Spare Parts' AKA Creepy old guy that won't stop talking. AKA 'The asshole that grabbed me in suit and forcefully dry humped me onto the ground and re-injured both of my knees right after the Parade.' I swear if he keeps trying to talk to me I am going to make complaints about him at every con.
But for a con to only have one bad incident through the ENTIRE FIVE YEARS attending ... That's a fucking hell of a great time.
So to everyone that went ... It was Awesome seeing all of you and I hope to see you next year
to everyone in the headless lounge and all the other fursuiters ... DAMN I loved seeing you all. And thank you for all getting in suit and making it the best con of all time.
To everyone in the kitchen staff ... I never had better meals. I mean WOW that was great food you guys were making in there.
To everyone that was cooking around Campfire ESPECIALLY Beowolf ... Thanks for keeping our bellies full.
To everyone that took pictures of my suit ... Corsi[at]furnation.com ... EMAIL THEM TO ME PLEASE!
And finally to those that didn't show up ... GET YOUR ASSES OVER TO OKLAHOMA!!!! YOU MISSED ALL THE FUN!!!
A final thought for those that wonder ... Exactly what DOES go on at Oklacon ...
Picture a Room Party at Any con you have gone to. Now make that party the entire weekend only with more booze, fresh air, fire, and no broken elevators ... THAT'S Oklacon!
