Awesome People I met and Hung out with at the Con!

The Epic Roomies


All you other fuzzbutts!


And Special Awesome guest

And a Whole Shit ton of other people who's names I didn't catch or just can't remember right now! You're all Awesome!

Anyway, Con was awesome. Left my college at about 3 to pick up Liko, Nican, and his other friend in Worcester, then arrived at the con by 8. Got in line for Pre-reg, where I talked with Gel quickly after Nexus texted me to find her so she could know the status on the suit. Once out of Pre-reg drove Liko and pals to the Super 8 so we could all check in, Nexus and myself then getting quickly settled in and then heading back to the Crowne in her car (DAT BEETLE) and she suited up and down Thursday night while I kept with her to help with handling alongside Evo, who we had picked up in the Super 8.

Around Midnight we went back to the Super 8 and caught some shut eye, then woke up at 9 to greet Kavi and Pherric when they finally arrived. Got them in the room, went back to the hotel and did stuff, then went to opening ceremonies. After that attended a few panels here and there, hung out with people at random, and then headed back to the hotel around midnight after getting bored at Karaoke and not getting any bites on room parties. Eventually fell asleep by 2 AM. Not much really happened Friday though over all aside from meeting people and being the the Rockband Tournament. (3rd Place where 1st and 2nd was a tie).

Saturday! Woke up, got breakfast at Dunkies with the entirety of a Long Island High School Girl's Soccer Team, and went over to the convention dressed as my dapper professor. Wandered around, talked with people, met people, went to panels, went to events. Specifically of note was getting to hang out with Brauner and some of his pals while playing Zombiefluxx. Saw West Of Here and Loved them. Best panel of the day though was probably Duskysam's panel on SFX transformations, where I turned a girl into a bunny (Pictures were taken. If I ever find them I will link to them.) After that panel wandered around, then eventually went up to Ikaru's room after he invited me up for some drinks on Twitter. Discovered the lovely concoction known as Diet coke and Chocolate Vodka, stayed up late with Ikaru and DarkCougarKat (And for a while another fur who I WISH I had caught the name of. Nawlens XD), then went back down to the hotel at about 5 after being buzzed for a few hours and thinking I should head back to the room where, surprise, I realized I had lent my key to Mykul and had no way of getting in. So, instead, I hung with Hush, Azban, and a few others in the lobby from 5 to 9, when I finally went back to the room and caught an hour and a half nap.

Right, on to Sunday. After nap was complete I grabbed everything and headed bac over to the con space. Watched most of the Fursuit games before heading with Ikaru and his crowd to Friendly's for Lunch. Side note: That proposal during Fursuit games? So sweet. Anyway, came back and then hung with Ikaru and DarkCougarKat during the Carshow. Lawl'd at the Free Candy van, and then headed back to Ikaru's room and drank some more.

Finally left at 7/7:30ish, made a pit stop to get gas and food to stay awaken, and arrived at Guil's place around 10:15ish, where we talked a lot, laughed as he failed to get me Placebo drunk, watched the newest MLP episode, and eventually went to bed. Woke up at 9, hugged the sleepy ott who was out like a light, and then headed back to arrive to college at 11:45ish.

Tons of fun. Definitely going next year come Hell or high water, and DEFINITELY staying in the Crowne or at least the Holiday Inn. Fuck the Super 8. Also going to have to come up with a new costume idea, as my Top hat and goggles suffered a casualty over the weekend and the magnifies fell to pieces D: But yeah, awesome fun. I miss all of you already, and to those I didn't get to meet, YOU ALL SUCK! Next year! Make it Happen! Also! Next year I am actually 21. More Drinks need to happen.

Won't be available anymore though until my Thanksgiving break (Novermber 19th-27th) and then December (December 16th - January 17th). It's gonna be so boring without you guys, so when I come home for both those vacation dates I want to make sure you guys make me feel at home! :D

Anyway, yeah. Cougah out.
