So, the weekend was good and some bad... but mostly good.

I will start with Thursday, I got to go to work, of course, but I dropped Jon  StarRazor off at the Westin around 7:15am (on the way to work) because one of his friends  Quicktron from where he lived before Pittsburgh was at AC this year, and they wanted to hang out Thursday. They walked a LOT. I was planning to run in and register after work but he wanted to go home so badly I decided to register Friday.

Friday, I had to work again. I took Jon  StarRazor to the Westin in the early morning. (I'm within my first 90 days at a new job, no paid time off yet) but I did get off 1 1/2 hours early. I parked the car and went in to register. Unfortunately, Jon's legs were hurting too much from walking again. He just wanted to go home. I saw a few furs briefly, then I went to the car with Jon. There were a couple things I wanted to attend Friday but I will be fine.

Saturday, Jon woke up with still horrible pain from walking. He was also having some unhappiness with the con itself. He stayed home and I went to AC alone for a day. It was rather strange to be there all by myself, I got to decide where I wanted to go and when and didn't have to get any other opinions. I first met my brother  CadpigJR and  Autumnfox in the Westin lobby. (Yes, for those who don't know, my biological brother, not a RP sibling.) I gave them some marshmallow peeps that were supposed to be mailed for Easter and we went to the Dealer's room. I ended up purchasing some art with my little $ I brought with me. I got a print from  TristanAlexander which was printed as a card but I will frame it anyway, I really wanted to buy something from Tristan and even though I would have liked to buy a bigger print, I didn't have the $ for that after spending a year on unemployment. I also got some postcards from one artist (I will edit this with her name later, the info is upstairs) and some buttons, one with a cute panda. I plan to get small frames for the postcards, they are all pretty. Since I missed Jon so much, I bought him a print from  Kalika_futago that had some nice boobies, which he really enjoyed. After that, I went to pick up lunch with jon's friend  quicktron and some of his hotel roommates and then back to the zoo to eat. Then I got a frustrating telephone call in reference to work but I don't want to go into detail here. After that, I went to the fursuit parade and got to hang out with  brendanroo and his boyfriend (I am sorry, I forgot his name) and grrr.. I am bad at names... The other Furry with us at that time was someone who was introduced to me years ago as Yuki and for some reason I can't remember what he said his correct furry name is. if  Flanowa reads this, he may be able to tell me as he's the one who introduced us at WPAFW one year. Anyway, distracted from AC2011... After the fursuit parade, I went back to the dealer's room and finally got to see  agentelrond who I was really happy to see again and I actually got to buy one of her smaller prints this year.

After dealer's was closing, I went with  Quicktron again over to the area by the ballroom on a big bench to wait for the line for the Masquaerade to start. His hotel roommates showed up again while we were waiting for the masquerade and we all went in together. However, the guy leading the line didn't go far enough over in the seats and I (who is barely over 5 feet tall) would have been sitting behind one of the big stands holding a video camera, so I sat a couple rows back by myself. But, another friend  Drako showed up and I had someone to sit with. The Masquerade was good and it lasted longer than expected so instead of making everyone leave and get in line for Uncle Kage's Story Hour, they told us to stay in our seats to save time since it was past time for Story Hour to start. It was also fun. After that, I went back to the zoo to find Thead  Akirashima who had vanished in pursuit of fireworks. I waited a while and talked to  TristanAlexander and others at the table.

Sunday Jon  StarRazor came with me again, I found the first seminar I wanted to attend but I could not figure out the location of the "presentation room" so I missed the second thing I wanted to do. We also took a walk to Lotus Foods for some fun oriental snacks. Jon wanted to leave and we were on the way to the car when we ran into  SimbaX who we talked to some and he was surprised we were leaving. Jon said he needed more alcohol to have fun, so Simba took us to the bar accross the street from the Westin (Tonic) and got Jon some drinks.  Wolger2579 and a friend joinded us. Jon drank a bit more than he should have for not eating that day yet and we took him for a walk where he hugged EVERYONE he saw that he knew (at least once, often more) and then he took a nap on a bench by the ballroom for a while. While Jon was napping, Drako appeared and we ran into Wolger again and we all went to the Fish Market for some foods. Jon and Drako had fries, Simba, Wolger and I had very tasty sushi. I would like to go there for sushi again sometime.

Then, I had to go home finally cause I had to work EARLY monday morning. I really enjoyed my time with friends, and to those who I only saw briefly or missed completely, I hope we see eachother again soon. There were even a few people I hoped to see that I didn't see at all. But, it's one con and I will see all my friends again, even if I didn't get to see them much at this con.

Edited to fix a few icons I messed up and will likely edit again for a few more little things.
