Well THIS has been interesting!

First day I wandered the Hyatt glancing at EVERY name tag I could to see if I knew anybody. By 2 pm I realized this is NOT going to work! the sheer volume of the masses!!!! I got into a few brief conversations with strangers about stuff.

I went to "so it your first con, eh" panel. The ranting gryphon was there and uncle Kage and the Con head whats-his-tits. DAMN. and we learned how to be at a con. Oh yeah and they had the help of their lovely assistant, Sinatra the bunny!

Then I went to figure drawing session! Hosted by on the the guest of honors , Chilly". OMG she is so talented! A few lines on the paper and she already captured the pose. Just amazing! I did a few people and a few fur suiters. One of the suiters was Sinatra again! I think the actually think the last two fursuit pics turned out alright- If I still think so at the end of the con I'll post em here. Tonight there is going to be a nude drawing session. If I am real clever I hope I can punch out a few good drawings here too.

I ventured into the artists alley. I toured it without looking a anything too closely yet. (saving that for today) I ran into an old school associate who attempted to teach me about photoshop paintings when we went to college. Now don't be angry folks but this guy has more talent than anyone else in the room. It is just not to be believed. AND hes not even a furry artist XP. I went through his latest work which is ASSBLASTINGLY AMAZING. I guess he is depending on the cross genra (sic) nerds who are also into whitewolf role-playing. I offered condolences on his breaking up with his old GF (they broke up two years ago) he is now engaged to his ex's ex best friend.

I finished off the night with what turned out to be a several hour long variety show starring uncle kage, the ranting gryphon, and the audience. XD Kage is fun to listen to. great stories. If you go to a con definatly see him! As for the ranting gryphon. lol its like this. My brother (who I charge with getting me into the fandom XP) loves the RG's comedy- my brother doesn't do the fur stuff anymore but he still listens to the ranting gryphon. To me the ranting gryphon always sounded like a gay dennis leary (who I can't stand (so sue me XP)) That was before tonight. My god he is HILARIOUS in person! oh my god is that shit funny. The only issue I had was for all the hours I sat there I couldn't help but be distracted by this pervading PEE smell emenating from some one close by.

After that I drove my car home (20 mins away)

Well I didn't run into anybody I knew (which I now know is statistcally unlikely) but I had alot of fun! Lets see what the next two days bring!
