Sadly I don't have enough space to say everything I want to, so let me say I had a hell of a lot of fun this con, though ate horribly (aka awesomely) and walked several miles a day to put it nicely.

Rooming with  bravo who also enjopyed himself, and with  twitchdawoof which was nice and he's really good at getting people to explore the city. Last year I barely walked a block from the hotel, and this year we got on the tram to In-n-Out, walked to the doughnut shop, and then some. I'll definitely say this was the least I've ever sat around at a con by far.

Now for a general list of pros and cons and such, starting with the cons as frankly, you know everyone secretly loves seeing gripes first!

CONS:
*FIRST AND WORST OF ALL..... There was this one little female artist who I will not name who was a totally rude and mean-spirited person. I was walking in the background of numerous instances in which she would lose her temper after about 0.0001 seconds and go off on folks. She was ugly to anyone, had zero patience for others, and I have never seen any furry act this absolutely childish and immature in public..... this coming from me of all people too! If she didn't want to be at the con she should've stayed in her room. Cons are public places, and you should have some patience and respect for other people. It was a sad sight, and I wasn't the only one who noticed her behavior as half a dozen others knew instantly who it was when I opened my mouth on the subject. Sure, she doesn't have to worry about impressing people as she has her group of friends, but honestly she is never going to make new ones and I will never buy/commission art from her again.

*The Hilton. I didn't stay there, but it bummed out a lot of my friends who did have the misfortune of being there. The management were bums and went out of their way on several people to make them feel unwelcome. Also it would've helped had they shown every congoer months ago the little contract they pulled out of their asses at check-in. Basically they told furries no booze, etc. at the door when they'd have no time for alternative lodging. Pure douchebaggery and I think the FC staff is handling this for next year.

*Need a place to sit and draw that isn't on the 3rd floor and packed! Not like I got to use it anyways! hehe

*Elevators.... Four for the con in a 26 story hotel. You can probably guess how that went. I know a few people who got mad at those who rode down to go up, but if you were not at the first floor it could be a half hour wait. Bitch all you want as I did do this once or twice when I needed to go up, had waited excessively, and my joints were flaring up like a motherfucker so stairs were a bad idea at times.

*The fursuit headless lounge was in the most remote B.F.E. place it could have been.

*The con staff needs to tell the oversaturated DJ community enough is enough and they can't all have a slot. Pick the good DJ people, or hell, put a list up with poll and let the community decide a half dozen who can do sets. That's it. You don't let everyone with a pencil have a dealer table, why do you make exceptions for the music crowd? Honestly most of it was terrible, with people not realizing there were twice as many on stage than the dance floor. Thank you to a skunk, bunny, and wolf who were the only ones I ever saw people head inside for. (You guys know who you are).

PROS:
*Everyone other than that one little meanie was immensely laid back. You could hang out with anyone, and nobody seemed very clingy or jealous.

*FC has the best food in walking distance of any furry con I know of. From bottomless mimosas to doughnut stores that serve beer to garlic fry bonanza, it rocked.

*Pre-reg was actually faster than the regular registration this year! Also once it got up and moving, it was a fairly decent speed to get into anything. I know people will say there were long lines (true), but I've spent far longer to get into dealer's dens and registration at conventions.

*The staff to me seemed very knowledgable and friendlier than prior years. They checked badges this year, but it was just a "head on in!" instead of some years where it is more of "Let me see your badge and make sure everything is listed and stickers are where they need to be and blacklight verify this as we metal detector your bunghole...."

*The younger furries in the crowd are actually pretty good people. I know a lot of the older crowd is really hesitant to talk with any of them, but guys give them a chance. They're really sweethearts and I felt good meeting a few new faces and hope to see some of them again next year.

*Finally got to put faces with a lot of furries I know online or by their suits.

Overall there is a hell of a lot more to say, but I don't have enough time to say it all. Though I will try for FC next year and thank you all for the memories and such!
