FurFright Report

General
Wow, did this years FurFright go well.
Friday:
We attended the opening ceremonies and I was going to just hang around stage in suit and be all cute and all, and came time for the "Attendee Guest of Honor" award or such and out came, gosh i forgot who, and handed a box to Belic, He then read "Buddy" and so i was going "oh well, least it went to a good fur" ... then Buddy said "I don't deserve to be Attendee Guest of honor" so they went back into the box (which was the gag one) and tossed it around until another JD came up with the real attendee box. Belic reached in and pulled out a name and he said "Oh I know this fur" And again was going "oh well..." then he said a moment Later "Shuri" I was stunned as yes, I was announced the Attendee Guest of Honor. And thus I was sat in front of all those at opening ceremonies to answer his "James Lipton" questionare. Thus started a wild Friday for me, right after OC, I had to run to the dealers room to get info and such for Artist Alley, so there I am sitting in the AA in suit (mostly) and actually got commissioned (Yay a first for me) then off for a panel with KwiK and JDPuppy .. Watched them teach the "Thriller" dance. Was amazing to watch the whole thing. after that, ran back to the room to change and get out of suit and goto the Dealer/supersponsor dinner. The Food there was awesome.
Saturday
i got up, suited up as what i'd be wearing in the Masquerade, and practiced my Skit up there with JTigerclaw. Ozzy Ozborne's "Let me hear you Scream" Went well, didn't during the main performance, hehe, oh well "Welcome to FurFright" ... but there was concern when I was told by the act before me that i'd have to bring the crowd back up. Which i was worried about but halfway through the song I got the crowd to yell during the song and it felt good to have the crowd there.
Also got to help JD lead the Fursuit parade, which was awesome this year, got to walk outside in the nice cold breeze. Wonderful for us fursuiters
Sunday
Got up and went down to make the attempt to play the Fursuit Games. Which was rather interesting, save for having to put on a dress and sunhat to go driving around the track on a razer scooter thingie. The other games were fun as well, almost busted my tailbone on the Musical chairs game as I missed my seat and hit the floor (almost an injury tony) but got up and walked it off. Over all we got Second place which was alot of fun.
Only sad thing was the Closing Cerimonies, where we knew the con was over and we'd have to come back home.
But Thanks to all the Staff of Furfright (Belic, Wags, K'Gra, Skippy... all of you) for making this a fun convention as always. And to all the people that said "Hi Shuri" or "Congratulations" ... it was awesome, and to all the suiters i got to meet and hang out with. Nekomon, JDPuppy, all of you guys rocked. I had the best time ever this year.

Thank you so much for supporting the con and being there with us! We love you! ;o)
Can't wait to see you again!
I cannot wait til next year! Got some plans stirring up already, but I won't mention the con to you for a while, because I'm sure you'd like nothing more than to forget about it for a couple of months. XD
*big tiggie hugs* And of course, it was wonderful seeing you! Thanks so much, once again, for helping provide one of the best times of my life every year. :)
For everyone else: Yes I was SO proud of my Shuri, especially for getting up on that stage! He and JT were awesome and no one cares about the mix up. I'm happy to see my mate so happy, he is a wonderful person and well on his way to being Popufur!
