Califur 7: Post Apocalypse 2011 report
14 years ago
Thanks everyone for a great con!
This was my second year as Lead for Fursuit track, and I think it went a lot better than last year, and all my events went really well!
My first shoutout has to go to
Coco_chocolate_wolf who was my 2nd in command for the first time this year, and without him I would have been scrambling to get everything covered. I hope we can be a team again this next year!
If you'd like to give me any feedback regarding Fursuit Track (fursuit panels, the Pet Auction, the Headless Lounge, the Fursuit Parade, Dragon Scales photos on Saturday) send me a private note!
We arrived Thursday night. Hallet was at the hotel most of the day doing set-up, and originally we weren't going to stay at the hotel that night, but Groggy offered to let us crash in his room for that night, so we took him up on it. He and Hallet stayed up hella late trying to each finish a few fursuit things. Gave Coony his cookie plush earlier that evening.
Wore my Weenie Roast '06 shirt for Friday, just to be ironic. Of course there were reg issues, but come on guys, it's Califur tradition! :P
We were cool enough to open the Dealer's Den and Pet Auction later that evening to people with non-badges to make up for the problems.
I had a panel that day which I think went really well, I'm sure Kero will have the video uploaded on YouTube at some point and I'll link to it here.
Fucked around with Anuvia and Aurora Wolf in the Dealer's Den. Aurora stop thinking about food all the time GOD.
For the first time, Coco and I helped out in running the backstage portion of the Pet Auction. We had about an hour to get 26+ suiters (and 3 non-suiters) signed up. All of our pets got sold, and we had a pretty easy pickup system! I hope everyone had a good evening with their new masters.
Got in Brandon to suit for a bit, took some photos with Lightning from KROQ, wandered about, ran around with Midwest Cougar, and Even and Brawl for a little bit, before desuiting. Eventually just chilled with Furball, Evan, Brawl, Dusty, Far, Beetle Cat and eventually Yipee for a little bit. Called it a night around 4am I think.
Saturday had to stumble awake and make it down for a reprise of my panel. Helped make sure Dragon Scales was good to set up for the photo shoots for the day. After that pretty much had to get suited up in Omi as Tank Girl and start getting prepped for the fursuit parade.
This year we tried something new, and we were allowed use of the Tuscany Ballroom out by the pool as an ending point. Suiters could go in there to get out of the sun, and de-head if necessary for a break while they waited for other suiters. Then we came back outside for a group photo.
I already know for next year, we need to have water stations waiting in there, and a longer break before I bring everyone out for the photo, but for a test I think it went well.
Came down with an uber headache that took a while to ditch, so sadly I missed FNL, but thankfully felt better in time to go to the Cabaret!
I put pennies down Mara and Raj's shirts >:3 After that Hallet had Cheza do a headstand in his crotch, and Kat the Leopardess came and rubbed her boobs in my face lololol... You can't embarass me!
I got a kiss from Mara, because I had the cherry chapstick XD
Cab didn't get out till midnight, went back and got into Brandon as a partial with my Kings jersey to mingle with the KROQ folks. Got back out of suit, wandered around, found Drunk Bucker™ in the FNL party, making up two line rhymes using everyone's real names. Eventually Hallet texted me and found my way to Nicole Alveraz's room (KROQ DJ) where we chatted, and kicked back. She wants to have her fursona as an owl, like Hedwig from Harry Potter. She also swears Yipee was meant to be a flamingo, not a coyote.
Sunday, woke up to the best surprise, being told we didn't have to check out till Monday! XD Took it easy that day, had no major events, only had to go to the Scritch and Bitch. After that tho, had to use my truck with helping of break down, to get stuff taken out, so my original dinner plans got cancelled. That’s ok tho, since it was pretty nice being able to help out with the con so much this year. Hallet and I did eventually get to go out with Kisho and some of his pals, once everything was taken care of. We ended the night in the hot tub for like 3 hours, relaxing, and having some drinkies…
Now then, I need to gather up video and photos to send to Whiskey! He says he prefers videos be in avi or mpg format. For me to collect all your files, either zip them up so I can download them, link me to where they’re already uploaded so I can download them, or bring them to me on a usb/sd chip that I can return to you later. I have to download all the files onto my computer, and put them on a usb drive which will be mailed to Whiskey. His connection over there isn’t strong enough for him to download all the footage online, so that’s how I have to get it to him! Note me here with links, etc, or email me pretty.omi[at]gmail.com
I’ll be posting links to videos and photo galleries here, link yours below if you want it added, and I’ll add the link up here too!

By the way, fursuit parade was so much more better this year compared to last.
Glad you liked the parade!
I'm gonna have to trek down south for CF one of these years.
Until then, see you at FC!
But wooo! Califur rocked. I had a great time there. Lots of new people there this year. I hope it gets even better next year.
Give me food and maybe I'll stop GEEZ. <3
butt a re-buttle to that, its best to be served to those most closest to you. its a way of saying "i love you with every breath you take. and every wind i break.
