Let me just start out by saying that the last three days could not have rocked any harder even if there was a world shattering earthquake. I would love to thank my lovely wolfywho made the whole trip one of the most memorable I have had in years! Thank you wuffy :)<3

At times it is the small thing's that'll get to sticking firmly in my memory and indeed there were small things that are now firmly cemented into my memory. Now truth be told massing all of the memories they produce a large cell memory... looky me soundin all fancy! Seriously though... the memory's of my first con... FUCKING AMAZING!

Friday was a pretty good start to the three day weekend. We arrived at the hotel and got all registered'n stuff I got a pretty neat little pouch thing with an ID in it o.o for me lol. We went out to Gator Land which was rather tourist trappish lol as horrible as it would sound it was rather fun... for the novilty of the place if nothing else. It was a small park dedicated to mainly to one theme which was reptiles of which the Alligator dominated the scene through out the good majority of the park. There where the obligatory gator themed shows with the big scaley fella's jumpin up'n chopping down on chicken with a small unexpected distraction of a buzzard that tried it's damnedest to get the chicken for itself. There was a much more selective group show that had all the gathered furries attending to which the animal experts had a bit of fun with the group! I was present and it was quite a good show!

After catching the shuttle to get back to the hotel me'n Shywolf checked in and the first room we got was'nt really all that good... we got to exchange that room for a one on a lower level that was much roomier and had a nice big sleep number bed for us to enjoy! Enjoy the bed we did! ;A; The nights we enjoyed sleeping on it where the best that I'd ever slept really! +1 for the awesomeness of Sleep Number beds! We had a couch/sofa, tv, desk for writting and whatnot, mini fridge, and an overly awesome AC unit LOL *nudges Shywolf with a wink*... :P Not much to complain about the room for besides the one fact that both windows... had no views of anything of the veiwing sort that was actually worth seeing lol. Both windows that were in the room were for lack of a better term industrial... lots of ac vents. That small detail is very worth wile looking past though due to the excellent company that I had with me in the room :).

We decided after getting everything dragged up and settled in the room to go about and see what we could see down on the conventions floors. We walked around a bit and met furs and saw some good friends of ours. We played some games in the game room which was packed full of games mostly arcade games from a fur that I know lol :P he's awesome even though the arcade's game titles were a bit limited and some where rather difficult to understand o.O;. Shy'n me tried our paws at an early Simpson's arcade game but it was rather... aggressive to any player not savvy to it's ways.

After a while we went back to our room and just hung out till we could figure on something to do... which was just kinda flop'n relax from what I can remember of the day LOL n.n;;

Saturday was a bit more active with me'n shy goin and walking around after having woken up at nearly 7 and both showering lol separately of course.

We walked around a bit until noon when we heard about a snack thing going on at a very high up suite so of course we went and got our snacks! Mm... Cheeto's and Cola *drools*!! What... they are awesome snacks! After the snack we got back to the main grounds for the con and explored a bit even going for a dip in the hotel pool after the kiddies had decided to clear out... furries and balls can be a somewhat unpredictable mix! After the pool had worn itself thin we enjoyed a slight dip into the hot tub and were joined by a few furries. It was nice to be able to go to the pool and just relax even if it did end up littered with kids at a few points. The hot tub on the other paw... my gods it was HOT!! therefor I did not get into the bubbling inferno that was the hot tub though Shy slipped right in the brave soul!

After a bit of pool time we went back to our room and dried off got into our clothing and drank a bit. Shy drank up some of his lemonade which he shared with me :) I'll miss that lemonade ;A; poor thing :c... :P We met up with some friends and joined them in their room just to hang out and chat :) we got to meet some awesomely super furs :P After the impromtue introduction we had a few laughs ate some Mangosteen fruit candy and went on our merry way! Shy proceeded to drink a bit more of the lemonade before suiting up and going out onto the grounds... it was pretty awesome even though we both were slightly buzzed... one more so then the other lol but all together. We went to the pool area and got to parade around there a bit with Shy hugging me nearly the whole time it was like having a large plush snuggling me! n.n We met some more friends there and kinda chattered about stuff such as how we were and such!

After a bit of walking around the pool me'n the big snuggly wuff decided to go into the Artist den and got all signed up for free badges! Well... did have to give away a hug to get the badges but it was still awesome :) I gave the artists who did the badges for me'n Shywolf a bracelet each for being so awesome :) I think they liked them I saw them wearing them around the con grounds! Shy'd brought his laptop and we both were using it... I'd gotten into the IRC for the floridafurs and some of the con folk were in chatting so I made the best of it! I got to meet up with a suiter and we got some snapshots! I am happy as anything to finally have met some folks out from behind this monitor! Putting faces to names is such a delight when you've barely been able to get outta the house in the past ten years!

A Pool party/Kareoky event had started near dusk and there was food'n snacks for all to enjoy. I finally got to meet and give her the Tamagotchi toy that I'd been trying to find a good home for. [A BIG thank you btw LatinVixen for giving it a good home!! Now I have a small bit less stuff in my room! lol] Near the end of the day *bout around 10pm when a dance was to begin* we both went up to a room party which turned out to be packed to the roof with furries! By this point Shywolf was out of his suit and had gotten a bit more then buzzed lol but he had incredible control over his faculties though I'm sure he'd parry back with a few comments [Ya know... in the way some folks go'n try'n outdo eachother with either compliments or strange tales :P]! The party at the room was packed and the 'danger punch' they were serving was apparently a potent mix since the rumor was it had EverClear in it. After figuring no one was going to be down in the dance we headed back to the room got things ready to clear out in the morning. After doing what needed to be done we simply flopped into bed and Shy fell asleep nearly instantly!

Sunday... oh what a day that was. During part of the evening in Saturday we had tried a damnable fruit candy... Durian fruit candy! The worst tasting stuff ever! Thank fully the fruit's horrid burp aftermath had worn itself off by night for me... Shy was still grimacing at the taste for a while until Sunday had rolled about [thanks again Kemmy >.> next time why not try'n talk us OUT of that kinda stuff! lol]. We kinda just rolled about for half the day until the hotel folk said it was time to check out! :P SO we did after getting our stuff safely to the car. After checking out of the hotel we stayed and played a few games with our characters merely flailing and committing to nothing but shooting in random directions or just doing nothing in most cases lol. We aren't bad at games... just unsure of the controls lol! After a bit of time we decided to go to the last event: Wet'n Wild! We'd already prepped for the event during the morning having gotten into our trunks with our regular clothing over it. We got to the park which had the normal day crowd along with the furry group that had entered in as a small bunch of globule masses. We were allowed to stay after hours for two extra hours due to our event! Let's just say I got to experience water down to a cellular level on one of the slides. My grip on the 'rides' was nearly iron... I didn't wanna let go and the world hadn't nearly stopped spinning when my stomach started to shout at it to ask why it was being forced into knots lol...

All said and done this was the BEST OF THE BEST for my first experience at an Elliot event! Hopefully I'll have a suit ready for the next fur event I go to O: and a cam for extra spontanious capturing of memories!
