First sorta-con ever
14 years ago
Back from Howloween (a sorta mini-con based in Burnaby, BC, Canada)
Its the first time in ages I have been to any sizable furry event and I gotta say...
Never in my life have I felt so awkward, thrashed my body so badly, eaten enough sugar to kill a village of diabetics and yelled and talked so loud I made my throat raw... and LOVED the fuck outta it XD
I went there with
The_Draconic_One and 
AlanTabby in mah lill Civic, not too bad except for traffic in that area is hectic and disorganized at best. But we made it in one piece and quickly hopped over to the pre-event bowling, pretty decent, we jsut mostly hung out, looked around for people we knew which sad to say many furs I knew years ago were no where to be seen, but did get to meet a few old friends of mine so it made up for it all ^.=.^
We were ready to head out and take the sky train out when we started talking about this sweet looking camperised 1964 Ford Econoline van we saw when all of a sudden this one guy comes running up to us offering a ride to the event, we figure we might as well since we would get there faster than the sky train lol so he jumps in the van and opens her up and clears so space for us to get in. God was probably one of the most (if not the most) cool vehicles I have been in! The whole ride back we were just talking about it, talking about our cars and what not. When we got back to the hotel we found out that he was this sorta steam punk craftsman and a collector of very unique antiques, had a whole bag that had everything from folding metal cups to a full sized coat hanger that was the size of a USB key O.=.o gotta say, one of the most random and most awesome people I met at that event! ^.=.^
The rest of the event can be summed up by a lot of sugar and loud talking among friends but my favorite part was the dance, I started off just watching as suiters and anyone brave enough decided to head out onto the floor, at first I was just taking some videos but after a while I was convinced by two fellow island furs TJ and Tonk to all run into the center of the dance floor and start air humping in a circle, needless to say as long as friend were going in then I was game as usually I am too shy on my own to do stuff like that in front of so many people lol. About 1/2hr later or so another local fur, Ruby managed to push Morrogh out on the dance floor with us and we all started to do it again XD After that my shynes pretty much melted away and I just started to dance on my own as the night went on because it just felt so awesome haha, left the floor TWICE saying I was too damn tired to go on and suddenly a moment later I was like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESbvkaiYK3g XD I probably looked like such a tool XD
Hardly slept that night and my throat was so scratchy and fucked, my legs felt like bricks and my abdominal muscles were stiff, but it was well worth it hehehe. I have been use to thrashing myself before, but going like that for like an hour or two lol even a self proclaimed "fit enough" guy is gonna kill his own ass XD
Cant wait till the next event in the area! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icQmyxPQjOc

Was awesome seeing you there and meeting Morrogh for the first time! Never thought that I'd meet you guys there!
God it has been way too long since I went to any sort of furry event so me and Morrogh had both agreed to book the time off work and get our asses over there ^.=.^ No regrets at all aside my horrid navigation skills heading home lol. Was awesome seeing you again as well, saw you out on the floor there a few times, dance better than me that's all I can say XD
Oh yeah, when you mentioned ever heading to the island, you are more than welcome to stay a night or two here if you are ever out this way, we got a big leather couch in the main room and blankets/ pillows to spare ^.=.^
I use to be so wary of cons cause I was like "gack too many people, most I wont have a clue of who they are etc etc" but after this event, hell as long as I got a friend or two to go with I should be game ^.=.^ haha I should show you some videos me and Morrogh took XD he has ones of me doing the air hump with some other islanders, me with my tail decked out in those glow stick bracelets and stuff with a strip of "Caution Do Not Enter" tape hanging off the back of my tail XD
