Almost back from FWA - Con report
17 years ago
Wow, first FWA... (definitely NOT my first furry con, or con in general tho, lol) ... was a really nice experience, was a smaller con than AC, but sometimes that's a nice thing, to be able to go and relax and have fun and not worry about the pressure of "having" to draw while there, or sell artwork, or be pulled in about 18000 different directions by the 20000 things going on or people that wanna see you, etc... so yeah, that was good :)
got to try absinthe for the first time (and yes, it was the "real" stuff, thanks to some wormwood tea the drink was steeped in for a good 10-12 hrs)... and wow, yeah, that was fun, lol. definitely left me feeling it the next day tho (and any of the days following that were spent finishing off the bottle, lol)
actually did get a handful of drawings done (and one colored by hand, no less) that'll be posted within the next few days after I get home (still out of town ATM, away from scanner, hehe), so hoping that'll be enjoyed ;)
major hugs and shoutouts to all the wonderful furs that helped make it such a fun weekend. Kyllistin, my sweet poneh/kirin, of course :) Dragoneer for hangin out and having fun, definitely need to more often. Marc Leonhardt for the great company, convincing me to come to this con and helping getting my ass to draw again (after this last 7 month interim, let's all pray it's not as long before I draw again...) Phantasmas for being such a sweet and wonderful siamese kitty, you're so polite and nice, and giving ;) EraDragon, always good to see you. Herc, thank you so much for your little gift that made some things a LOT easier for epic lovins to give to my poneh :D Fennec, always a pleasure catchin ya :) Vish, was nice seeing you, been too long there pup :) Damaratis, you're great company and thanks for keeping FA up and running, being the rat behind the scenes ;) Foxxfire, was nice to catch you there, even if it was only for a brief hello :) Um... yeah, I know there were a lot more peeps too, and I apologize if yer not on that 'list' there, I's a very tired wolf (hoss) at this point and kinda fuzzy-brained, so forgive me :)
all in all, definitely a con I plan to attend again, was definitely a Blast... gonna hate getting back to the 'normal' grind, hehe. but I'll definitely be having some nice memories of a great weekend to help me through for a while :D

Or will we have to take some of your Russian aspirin XD
Good to hear you had fun at the con, though! I kinda wish I could've made it.
FWA should be called relaxing laidbacko-con. It has all the greatness and friends of the big con, but still small enough to be able to spend time with everyone.
