TFF Recap!
13 years ago
What an awesome con~ -falls over- It was exhausting in such a great way. I met a lot of amazing people and got to suit with some great suiters! Piston made several appearances (naturally) and Rooster made her debut. After looking through some pictures I know the edits I'll need to do to her to have her perfect. c: So don't expect to see her again too soon since she'll be undergoing revisions. Piston, on the other hand, will be getting out every chance he gets! Tried out my new lycra skinsuit for wearing under the bodysuits and it worked like a charm after a couple modifications.
Both guests of honor were amazing. Got my badge from
marymouse and it's my favorite of Piston to date. Nabbed a couple decks of Borogrove from Kory Bing (
niennis better expect a gift in the mail soon >:]) and got to tell her how inspiring and amazing her comic is. Grabbed my Rooster badge from 
aerosocks as well and go SO many compliments on it, asdhfaisohf.
Hung out with a ton of amazing people, far too many to name (again). XD Though I'll get to see some repeats in a couple of weeks at FWA! :'D
tristwolf and I basically stalked 
pacerfox's panels and tried our best to mess them up. XD Too bad he isn't one to be fazed so easily! Also hit up 
okidoki's panel on fursuiting.
There was a cheerleading/dance troop that was also staying at the hotel. On Saturday I managed to get caught downstairs by them in Piston and spent a good 20 minutes having them all run up to me to have pictures taken. Even their overly-muscly dads! XD Only downside: a couple started calling me "Bolt" and it caught on. A sad joke started originally by
jugularjaguar. What jerks! They caught me again Sunday and I got a couple more pics as they were being ushered out the door. I do love when the "mundanes" like Piston and want pictures with him. c: Makes me feel all warm and cuddly that he comes off as that available.
Highlight of the con: There was a little kid (probably... 3?) running around the con who was noooot sure at all about the fursuits. XD Right after the Fursuiting 101 panel I spent about 15 minutes in Piston rolling the tennis ball back and forth with him. By the end of it, he gave me a fistbump. I was so proud to have been able to make him that comfortable. Plus he was adorable as all getout.
Downsides: Ran into a couple creepers but nothing I couldn't shake off. XD The hotel seemed a tad crowded this year, especially some of the panels and games (fursuit charades, for instance).
Tldr; Fantastic con (though admittedly I think we're getting too big for the hotel), fantastic suiters, fantastic people! Can't wait to see some of you at FWA!

And absolutely! If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a note or an IM or whatevs. c:
It was really cool that you got the chance to play with the kid at Mascoting 101. That was a really good discussion, also.
I have to say that yer Piston fursuit is one of the few that really inspires to me make my own. ^_^ Thanks for being there for me to admire.
Thank you so much! :'] It means a lot to hear things like that. You should definitely go for it and make a suit!
Hope to see you next year!
PS: I'll never forget the peanut butter fox comment. XD
Harrrr X'D
What's weird is FWA seems so far away and yet also feels like it's way too soon. ;)
I knoooow! I look and I'm like "Bah have to wait so long." Then I look at my pre-FWA to-do list and suddenly there's not enough time in the day!
I've hung out with Pacer and Ip before so yeah, I know they're pretty chill guys. c: After like the third time we interrupted his panel, though, we started to worry he was going to get annoyed with us. XD
Did you catch the little girl (4-7 yrs?) in fursuit? I think she even made it into the parade.
Yesss I totally did. I saw her going down the elevator. How adorable.
