Back From FAU and going through tail withdrawl!
14 years ago
HI HI!
Well, my first Furry convention was a complete and utter success. I haven't had that much fun in such a long time! I had no idea what to expect at all so I went in with no expectations at all. At first I was a bit astounded by the fursuits, but there must be mind-control devices in those things because now I want one! My favorite fursuiter was Zeke. I fell in love with the design and with his husky/collie's personality. I'm completely converted now and can't wait to get my first fursuit.... but of what??? I can't decide between a golden retriever, wolf, border collie, hyena, or African wild dog.
Friday, I (along with my best friend and resident red panda) was lucky enough to get an artist alley table. I love drawing in the alley 'cause I always meet a TON of awesome people! I was commissioned to draw pieces for a lot of really great furs. Among these were an adorable cabbit, a chibi blue leopard with a constellation on its tail, an awesome chimera, and a piece with two wolves snuggling on the moon! I even sold a few prints too! ^__^
Over the course of the con, I met so many awesome people (you know who you are and since I'm not sure if you want names mentioned I'll just say -- LOVE YOU) and hope we all keep in touch. I learned this game called Werewolf and it's absolutely addicting! Thanks to that, I gained the nickname hypno-butt because of my swingy tail defense! XD LOL! We played so many random games in halls and in the zoo (which you get yelled at for in most anime cons) and I loved it! ^__^ We did martial arts, had balloon battles, danced, along with other random misadventures!
Everyone was so playful and friendly, including the staff. Also, my roommates were awesome too. Thanks so everyone, I had the best time and really want to go to another fur convention. I just don't know where else they have them near/in PA. I'll just have to use my puppy senses to hunt them down! ^__^ Hopefully I'll get to meet some of my newfound fur-friends there as well!
I'm definitely sad the con ended. Afterwords I caught a horrible cold. I'm not sure if it was because of con-plague or my cruddy immune system, but I was out for the whole next day. I really miss my tail, though. I think I have some sort of phantom tail syndrome! I keep thinking it's there and then I'm bummed that it's not! ::pouts:: Oh well. Anywho, tell me if you're going to Otakon 'cause I think that's my next con on the list! Maybe I'll wear my tail there! XD
HOORAY FOR A SUPER CHEESY JOURNAL ABOUT MY FIRST FUR-CON!!!!

I saw some stuff about Anthrocon, but it's 5 hours away. Gas, with how high it is, would be the biggest thing stopping me! If I can make it financially, I'll definitely be there! I didn't realize it was THAT big! Makes me want to go even more! I'll see if I can! ^__^
Yeah, I was amazed at how many styles there are. I eventually want to make my own since I already make costumes. I just need to learn how to do the foam craft. There's so many ways. I even met someone that showed me how to make it out of cardboard (which is more in my price range! XD) Yeah, but I'll check out and see the groups that make one and see if I can afford a bought one. Who made yours? (If you don't mind me asking)
LOL! PuppyLaPew! I have to draw that now!!! As far as fursuits, I think I want to either do a golden or a wolf! ::nodd, nodd:: hopefully as I go along I will get to make both. Still, I like wearing just ears and a tail too! 0__0 A golden, a wolf, and ears and tail..... that covers all 3 days! YAY! I WIN!!! ::is a little over zealous::
Not scared, more like I know it'll get wrecked. I'm very active! Even today, I'm going hiking with my dog later and the tail would be destroyed after that! 0__0 Tail under a mini skirt?! Why do I feel like that would be totally adorable?!
Yep, the LePhew picture is gonna happen soon enough! XD
