RF con report
14 years ago
General
RF was great as always! 
shiuk and I flew into Portland, where we rode the rest of the way up with 
gamercoon and 
grecko. Big thanks to them for letting us share the car ride up with them; plane tickets were way cheaper into Portland than into Seattle.
The con itself was largely uneventful for me; I mostly just BSed with old friends and met a couple new ones. Three good things stood out:
* For the first time ever, I tried selling underwear in the dealer's den; shiuk had them at his table and was selling them for me since he was stuck there anyway. I made a decent profit even though it was my very first try! I was really surprised when all the smaller sizes had sold out by the middle of Saturday. I'll definitely do that again, maybe for FC.
* We accidentally ran across a really good Thai+Pho restaurant that was next to the nearest Wal-Mart (we were at Wal-Mart getting supplies). The place is called, paradoxically, "The Best Pho & Thai." Definitely go there next year, if you have a car.
* Wandering though the hotel, half-lost though errors of my own I'm sure, Gamercoon and Grecko and I ran across a couple who were playing a complex-looking board game in the other courtyard. We became fast friends and are looking forward to meeting up with them again at FC.
Only one bad thing happened: I forgot to bring any kind of fan (I also didn't really have any room to bring one), and wal-mart had only giant box fans, so I went fanless for the con, and my fursuit heads took forever to dry. Well, really, they kinda never really did. It was pretty gross. I'm gonna work on something more compact that I can always pack along in the future. grecko generously gave me some high-flow PC fans that he abandoned because they were too noisy. I'll see what I can do with that.
I got to see many friends, too numerous to list. I love that I know so many people in the fandom; it's like a big family reunion every time I go to a con, seeing all the people I know and recognize, even if I don't have time to socialize with them all.
Next con is FC. I hope to have a bunch of underwear and other stuff made up to sell there, and I think I have half of an artist alley table to put it up for sale. Look for pictures to come up on FA of what I will have for sale at FC!
