I'm gonna try to write as much as possible while it's still fresh in my mind. (I'll edit & add icons later)

THURSDAY: Matsi-Wuff & I took off VERY early Thursday morning. We were making decent time, dealing with road construction & other traffic. Got about 1/2 mile from Alabama/Georgia line & traffic just stopped. Found out a semi had wrecked about a mile ahead of us & was on fire. We waited & waited & waited & waited & waited & waited a little more...then an SUV beside decided they were tired of waiting & their GPS had found an alternate route, Matsi asked if we could follow until our GPS had us going the right way again, he said yeah & we were finally off. SOOOO.....instead of getting there around 3:30ish/4....it was more like 6. NOT the best car trip ever. But, got my stuff in my room, got registered & wandered about for a bit before going back to the room & crashing! (I was pooped)

FRIDAY: Got up, wandered about & ran into IsfaCat. We were chatting about & around the corner came Gen & Uriel! I tried to stay calm, but I promise you I was "SQUEEEEEE"ing on the inside! (Greatest con moment #1) The crappy night before was washed from my mind as Gen turned to Uriel & said "Look honey, it's Hollie"! Of course, much hugging followed (I tried not to break Gen). They were in a bit of a hurry to get set up in the dealer's den. Shortly after that, I got a text message from WolfTeller. He was letting me know he was there. So Isfa & I went to find him. I'm looking around & hear, "That has to be a Hollie"! (Greatest con moment #2) More hugging!! After Teller got registered, we took his stuff to my room til his roommates arrived. Then we wandered, talked, visited Gen, met Matt Ebel. Which leads me to Greatest con moment #3...I asked Matsi to take a picture of me & Matt....Matt was trying to do the "hang loose" hand gesture, but ended up sticking his thumb up my nose! I thought I was going to DIE laughing!!!! So a second picture was taken...Matt's being all serious & I'm laughing my butt off!! After that, Teller & I talked, walked, picked up some art from P_Moss & had a good time. Limping Gnome, Charles Marker & Ryan White showed up around noontime (which was where Teller was staying). The rest of Friday was spent talking, walking, laughing, hovering around Gen's table & having a good time. Met TommiCat, Allonthe Cookie Dragon (which we did a cookie trade), RebelSquirel, Shane_LaFleur, and WolfWings. I also got a badge from Uriel!! For dinner Charles, Gnome, Ryan, Teller & I walked to a cafe. It was pretty good & didn't break the bank. After dinner, we got ready to see Matt Ebel's show. Had a great time! Matt said he only brought 30 CDs of his new album, I was fortunate to get #28!! After the concert everyone was pretty tired so "Good Night"s were said.

SATURDAY: Lots more of walking, talking, laughing, and having a great time!! Teller & I went back to the cafe for lunch. We were going to go to the Hard Rock Cafe, but the wait was longer than we wanted to wait. Back to the con & more hugging & loving on Gen. Trips around the artist alley & dealer's den. Watched the fursuit parade. Went back up to Gen's table & picked up Gnome, Charles & Shane. We were going to have dinner with Uriel, but it was going to be a while, so, we went down to the game board room & played "Oh Gnome You Don't". (Greatest con moment #4) The laughter that followed....Honestly, I'm amazed we actually got though the game!! Ryan joined us during the game & was kind enough to draw me!! OH....Greatest con moment #5...TonkaWolf called me!! He's home!!! We finished the game & met up with Uriel. (Greatest con moment #6) Went to the Mellow Mushroom for dinner. The pizza was pretty good. The walk there was...well, I'm glad I've been working out. After dinner, we walked back to con, dropped off food for Gen & went for ice cream. Another LOOOOOONG walk. It was great fun. And I didn't die!!

SUNDAY: Gnome, Charles & Ryan had to leave early. Lots of hugs & some sadness to see them go. Picked on Gen some more. Teller & I went back to the cafe for brunch & he got ready to head home also. I watched the talent show & Matsi won!!! (Greatest con moment #7) (Congrats buddy) Helped Gen tear down her table & SQUEEEEEEE!! Gen gave me her display rat!!! (Greatest con moment #8) Had dinner with Gen, Uriel & WolfWings at The Vortex! (Greatest con moment #9) It was lots of fun!! And I enjoyed it very much.

MONDAY: Had to leave. And after 13 & 1/2 hours of driving....HOME!!

I'm sure I have forgotten some things & I will edit as needed.

Had a wonderful time!!!
