Halloween!
14 years ago
So my Halloween event was amazing. It started off Sunday night I had my past boyfriend over, Tavis. Him and I dated for 9 years and in the end, we ended our relationship quietly because we didn’t have enough in common. He is still a really good friend, and so I had him over to watch Simpsons and Mythbusters with me. It was great, nice to have company over again. He helped me pack for the hotel and grab everything I needed. He headed off to work and I headed down to Toronto.
Once down there, I checked into our hotel down by the airport. It was quite funny. I got up there to room 505 and opened the door. To my surprise I saw an unmade bed, random cookies, a dirty floor and even shattered glass. A really nice cleaning lady with a heavy accent asked if I wanted a new coffee maker and I showed her the room. She said in an hour it’d be clean and that she was so sorry. So off to the train station I went.
I drove over to the Kipling TTC station to pick up
tiger_sammy On the way there I was stuck in a huge line of traffic slowly making it around a transport trailer who stalled in the middle of an intersection on Dundas. Yeah a really bad place to stall. Once I grabbed the tiger with his snow leo in tow we headed back to the hotel. On my second visit to our room I still noticed it was dirty with the broken glass so I called front desk and explained everything to them. She said she was sorry and gave us a new room. Now comfortably sitting in 509 Sam and I started out to go find food, and after a confusing drive around following my GPS we decided to go to the lone stars right beside the hotel.
After a wonderful meal, I started getting texts from the others attending our event
yazoobishi My twin sister Cody, and her finance John. We ran over to the hotel and as the others trickled in we started getting ready for the evening down town on Church street. Cody took about 2 hours to get her make up on but in the end she looked amazing. Sam and I just had to jump into suit,
yazoobishi had to get all decked out and John had to put on his camo gear.
After a quick order of pizza which ended up taking an hour, we headed out. One funny looking group of furries, and non furries alike we started down to the islington train station. At 6:30pm I put my head on and I kept it on solid until 10:40 when we got back to the car. I was devoted.
So we got on the subway, took a few pictures of randomness, made a lot of people smile, and posed for a few fanboy photos. Once we got up to church and welsley the flash photography started. I am not kidding when I tell you guys I lost track of how many people asked me for a photo. I counted to 254, then stopped trying because I didn’t even move for all of those photos. I was standing in one spot about 40 minutes and had over 400 pictures taken of me.
Our group didn’t even walk a complete block, we walked half way down and stopped in front of the Second Cup where the music was blearing. Beacause dancing in suit and posing for photos is awesome. While dancing there to some awesome house Halloween mixes I had a woman in a witch hat approach me and
tiger_sammy and ask us to go dance on her patio. We were both like wow, uh Okay! We danced for about 4 minutes and did a crowd ever gather! We were such a hit, and after we were offered free coffee, lol.
About another hour or two later the other furries started gathering, I saw a few friendly faces there, and some new ones too.
mmm-dumpling and
Dodge showed up and hung out around us for a while. It was awesome seeing them both there and I know
Dodge got some great photos and video.
So after another hour or so we were all exhausted and decided to head home. It took us about 50 minutes to get to the TTC station once more but it was so awesome. Aside from a few awkward photos, and dances with random individuals we had a blast. All of us did. So I want to thank you all who showed, all who I saw and all who said hi. Thanks for making it so memorable. I will be posting photos soon. *hugs* thanks for reading!
