Just came back from FWA (pronounced "fwah", for those who attended XD), and I can honestly say I had a blast. Lots of fun from start to finish, met lots of cool people and chilled with some that I already knew, and just had an all-around enjoyable time. Highlights included:

-Meeting Gideon, one of the artists I've been watching since (literally) the turn of the century

-Sitting in on panels featuring Bonk, and learning some of his methods of making kick-ass artz (and then getting a poster signed by him)

-Socializing with Furgeta, who flew all the way from freaking CANADA to attend the Con (and getting sneak peeks at stuff he hasn't even posted online yet)

-Meeting new friends and local furs, and getting hints at potential social gatherings of furry persuasion happening soon in my area (or within tolerable travel distance)

-Doing an art trade with 404, and opening channels for trades with other folks at a later time

-Getting all kinds of ideas of stuff to make for (and then sell at) the next FWA or any other Con I attend

And so on. This was my first Furry Con, and now I'm really looking forward to the next one. Shout out to everyone who FWA'd! Rawr :)
