Report: FCN 2012

General
Greetings. I am a secret agent hired by the government. To protect my identity, I will only enclose my codename: Anomalous. As you may know, I was recently involved in the investigation of the murder of a wealthy corporator in the town of Novi, Michigan.
Accompanying me were agents tigertoy and sciencefun. After a lengthy investigation, we apprehended the suspect, known as Ms. Green. She subdued the subject in the sponsor's lounge and murdered him in cold blood with her Nerf pistol.
...I was actually meaning to go somewhere with that, but I am too tired. Just got back from FCN. Maybe I will do it later.
Anyway, the con was fun. Yeah, that is probably what everyone says, but try arguing that cons are not fun.
Did the usual stuff: poking around the artist's alley and dealer's den, playing Rock Band with random furs, chatting with people, drawing inappropriate things in public, etc. I actually did not really attend the dance--I mean, I stopped in for a while to check things out, but I did not actually dance, myself--because I randomly got weird pains in my leg on Saturday and so I figured it best not to push it.
One of the first thing I did, actually, was poke into the Dealer's Den. I managed to get the last copy of Red Lantern that Sofawolf brought to the con, which made me very happy (so... pretty!). I also picked up some other stuff, like a Certified Fox badge and some lovely bookmarks.
There were also some cool panels. Like, they had a writing panel hosted by Uncle Kage, which was rather surprising, and quite entertaining. There was also a Lego room that I enjoyed for some time on Friday, though I ended up skipping out on the contest because I wanted to attend Kage's writing panel.
I also attended some of the fursuit games this time, and I am glad I did. Honestly, it is not something I would normally take interest in, because I am not a suiter myself and I can certainly not afford one. But it was fun to watch, so I intend to go to the games at future cons, too. (Yeah, I knew suiters did fun silly stuff, I just never figured to go for some reason.)
They had a game that was going on at the con, too, which is what the part at the top was about. It was basically Clue, except the clues were scattered around the con and once you decided to make an accusation, you turned it in to registration and they were going to draw winners. They actually did not get many entries; only 14 people were selected as winners and they said that they would select 20. Anyway, sciencefun and I won and got free stuff. Mostly stuff from past FCNs, but also a set of smaller prints of the clues that could be used in a game of Clue.
...And I very well might. Yay Furry Clue!
Long story short, I had lots of fun and I am very tired now (got little sleep). Otherwise I might list more of the people I want to thank for having a good time with me, but I need to track down some FA pages before I could list everyone, anyway.
While I am at it: I also have some new stuff I need to post, as well as some old stuff (mostly photography) to go through and get up. So you might actually see some art from me soon.

Wadsworth: "The game's up Scarlet. There are no bullets left in that gun."
Ms. Scarlet: "You don't expect me to fall for that old trick do you?"
Wadsworth: "It's not a trick. There was one for Mr. Body in the study, two for the chandelier, two for the door of the lounge, and one for the singing telegram."
Ms. Scarlet: "That's not six."
Wadsworth: "One plus two plus two plus one."
Ms. Scarlet: "Uh uh, there was only one that got the chandelier, that's one plus two plus one plus one."
Wadsworth: "Even if that were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus two plus one plus one.
Ms. Scarlet: "Alright..... one plus two plus one plus... SHUT UP! Point is, there's one bullet left in this gun and guess who gets it!"
Anyway, aside from that random bout of silliness, I'm glad to hear you had an awesome time! :D
I didn't get to see the badges you made up for it, so I'm looking forward to seeing those, as well as the rest of the swag you got there :3
