government tested to be morally deviant FC 08 report
18 years ago
Now that I'm back home and gotten over 8 hours sleep (I always seem to sleep much better when I'm back in my old bed) I can better recount what went on for me at my 1st FC and second convention. Overall I had a great time there even though there seemed to be some moments where I was running back and forth very quickly to meet friends and to make dates and I do apologize to any if I seemed a bit rushed.
Getting there wasn't too bad I had to leave out quite early to catch my afternoon flight. Flight did go well I was happy they put me on and aisle seat rather than crammed in the center. I really wished the weather was much better, I get on a plane in Dallas and land in San Jose and it felt like I haven't went anywhere. But thankfully we did have at least a couple breaks in the weather. After and little mix up at check in apparently there where 2 Mark's that reservations and was was checking out that evening. But all got smoothed out rather quickly. We stayed on the 9th floor in Rm 974 almost to the end on the hall. It wasn't bad at all very quite, and I had a pretty lovely if not always rainy view of San Jose and really the elevator wait I was a little afraid of really wasn't to bad. I got in before vifyfox and spent the few hours exploring the hotel I wanted to surprise Vify with a hug at the front door but he was sneaky and got in from a side door and tackle hugged me when I went back up to the room XD. Also met Karen our other roomie, she was quite a fantastic personality. Vify brought over his Nightmare studio's Halo suit, sadly though I was a bit to tall to wear it haha other than very heavy it was pretty kick butt.
Next morning was the official start of the con, registration was very long haha especially pre-reg. After a little snafu in communications one staffer was saying if you wanted to upgrade to sponsor or patron you can get into line, well got up to the desk and was told they wouldn't take and upgrade and the reason was "because it will make the other sponsors and patrons have to wait longer" well decided it was best just to wait a few hours and talk to a different cashier where they where happy to upgrade me to sponsor. Met Mr.kigeni, Mr.morning_dragon, Mr.mottenfest, Mr.pyrophin,Mr.kemanorel01,Mr.drakkor, Miss shinigamigirl, Mr.oby, Mr.syrus_draco, Miss starfinder Snuck up and surprised Mr skadjer who was very happy to see me. New friends I met was Mr. Wind-dragon and Mr.slashox and many many others.
Rest of the convention went very well dropped by and seen Kig's show, sorry if I was in your way Mr. Kigs. I did try your cell phone trick and sadly the world didn't go boom D: haha. Made a quick dash to the Adult dragon panel, very impressed with everyones work Skadjer you and SlashOx did and excellent job. I think we all had the same feeling as Jace did was like WOW haha. Kudos to Mr.kitelessd you did and excellent job throwing out the candies to the randy dragon lovers out there and being the master of the panel and the fidgety remote clicker. I missed the dragon and scales panel hehe had the days mixed up, but I did spend much time weaving my way around the dealer tables picking up and greeting many folks. I was happy to be Miss Starfinder's water dragon for a couple minutes as she was working intently on the mass of con badge commissions she was whittling away on. I liked her system of having a signup sheet and payment system versus just doing it on the fly. Also happy to hear you where not suffering to bad from those annoying migraines I only had to deal with one set just during my flight over. Hope you enjoy the starbucks card haha I didn't know exactly what flavor of coffee you enjoyed and thought that was the next best thing.
Meet up with Radjin and Growlcoon who happily took vify and me out on several breakfast, lunch, and dinner occasions and and excellent dinner at the Spencer restaurant where they took a picture of me having a massive sweet shock from there chocolate cake. I swear if someone chuck that off the hotel it would knock a person out cold. Vify finally met up with the luskwood folks and they got him his gray fox suit hehe Vify called me his guide dragon just so he could get used to seeing and walking around. So if ya'll saw a gray fox holding on a guy in a black leather jacket's should that was us XD. I must give credit to all those that do suit, its a very physically demanding. I really felt sorry for some suiters at the dance most what I heard was fast pace trance and techno music and not many in a suit could keep up the pace to long before having to go and cool off. Still I look forward to possible getting and Acroth suit made one day XD.
Oh I did win a nice piece "A Soldier's prayer" from starfinder at the art auction. Only quips I had with the auction was it wasn't told in bold how to buy out a piece. I was a bit rushed when filling out the forms since they had 5 other's waiting to get there numbers. So I lost a piece I really wanted but hehe at least the artist got more than he was asking for ^.=.^ I'd of included that info on the back of the stickers since they didn't give you a copy of the bidders agreement. Also I kinda wish they would of added a minimum bid increments, I noticed several good works where they low-balled the bids up by only a dollar to push it into auction. Me if I like the work have them bid 5 or 10 bucks more so if it does go to auction the artist gets more than just 6 bucks over the minimum asking price if no other person bids on it.
Thank you Skadjer for inviting me to my first artjam. Your where a most gracious room guardian. I must say it was a rather interesting and most creative experience. I tried to steady myself as we both shared the bed and I have to say even though I was just sketching the eek feel when some one just bumped the bed was keeping me on my toes. Which was a good feeling really that was the first time I was drawing around other artists and people. Also thank you most sincerely for lending me a sheet a paper and your waldo book to sketch on XD. It was a very positive experience and I'm amazed at how many ideas where flying around the room I only regret for forgetting to grab my sketch book and sketching supplies hehe they greeted me as I came home all packed in my dragon art satchel. Next time I'll make sure I glue it to my hands X3.
There where a couple awkward moments during the con. For those people that know me I sometimes have either a dark or laid back sense of humor, plus Vify and myself are always there to help out anyone that needs it and I do like to surprise my friends. Sometimes it comes at wrong moments and for that I truly do apologize. But instead of brining them up and after talking to everyone afterwards I am pleased there where no hard feelings.
I do have to say Vify and I were very pleased to help get Mottenfest flight out to FC, and we where more than happy to give you some floorspace for the last day. Manchester looked awesome in Vify's Halo armor I really feel both me and Vify had much more fun seeing everyone else who we helped have a great time. Haha I did laugh when we tried to get some Chinese food and we drove up to the restaurant to find it all boarded up and fenced off XD, I wished we had time to hopped the fence and ride the Chinese dragon statue that was out there.
Of course the best part of the con was spending lots and lots of time with Vifyfox who holds a very close and special place in my heart. Hehe even though there where many bops to the nose to attempts by a very very amorous inclined draggy I very much loved and treasured all the time I spent with you vify. I still miss you very much Vify *hugs your sexy hindpaws* XD
Leaving of course was the hardest thing to do, I so much wanted to meet everyone who I knew there and meet knew friends (this dragon is friends greedy). I didn't have that bad of post con depression as I did during AC in 05 because I feel I had a great chance to say best travels to all my friends. (I try to make it a point never to say good byes just until we meet again) On my travels back I had the pleasure of meeting a UK fur Ash fox as well as the other traveling furs (arrghs I wish I wrote ya'lls names down), we both where delayed several times due to a late flight and it was a pleasure to help you out and a pleasure to chat with you during our Post FC Airport Mini meet X3 or PFCAMM XD
All in all I had a great time at FC and very much hope to do it again next year <3 *hugs to all*
and yup as soon as I talk to Vify I'll see if I can get copies of the pictures I took X3
