FWA 2012: The good, bad and ugly
13 years ago
FWA was pretty awesome, lots of good friends, food and entertainment!
The good: Getting to hangout with friends like
lennymutt and 
greypaws, two of the most awesome furs around. Getting away and relaxing was nice as was the food. I didn't drink much at the con at all due to not really being invited to parties. There was a TON of sabercats there too! All in all, I'll be returning next year, hopefully!
The bad: I'd say the lack of parties where one can just hang out and chat with others. Sadly, if there was any, I couldn't find them. Furs tend to be a bit too clickish from what I've seen or the parties had a theme or actions I didn't care for. I'm still pretty new to the scene so the question is there anything out there for us that just want to chat and hangout and not "bump and grind"?
I also really wish I had my fursuit in time for the con, I think a lot more would recognize me.
The ugly: The area is ugh... limited parking is WAY too high and getting to hear an episode of Cops outside my door Monday morning. On offense to anyone who lives there but downtown Atlanta is just horrible, but not much can be done and it doesn't reflect on the con overall. Security and the police was a very welcome sight at the con.
Another ugly thing is the complete rudeness of con attendees. Really guys, I seriously wanted to smack some furs around the way they were acting. Here's an easy list to follow to help you extend your life span around me...
1. Let people get out of the elevator before plowing in and blocking the people that need to get out with your fat ass.
2. If you see a fursuiter, or anyone for that matter, attempting to hop on the elevator when you are getting in or out, be nice and hold the door. Fursuiters especially can't see the doors close on them or make a mad dash because you flew in the elevator and hit your floor and door close.
3. Be considerate to works and servers. I saw several times furs being flat out rude, and yes, they had a con badge on.
4. Respect others personal space. There's no need to breath on everyone or walk so close you can ride on someone's back. Enough said...
5. Please make an effort hide your porn/sex toys in public.. again, enough said.

Are you by chance going to attend Anthrocon this year, Slash? :D
Sadly I won't be there this year, it's a con I'll have to work up to.
I hope to see you there in the next few years, then! Hopefully by that time we'll both have our suits and we can have our own little saber party... lmao.
Have a great time at AC too! I'm sure there will be a ton of sabers there as well.
And thanks! I'm still kind of scared because of the mass amount of people that will be attending... XD But there totally will and SHOULD be a lot of sabers. :3 We are slowly taking over. XD
Deal! I'm sure I'll yell here on FA about the next con I plan on going to.
Hope to soon as well! Gotta get some saber pictures for sure. I'll be at AC in spirit so have a blast
