Awesome furmeet weekend recap
13 years ago
I love the furries I've met.
I got to
midnitemountainwulf 's at about 12:05 am Friday. We chilled and chatted for a few hours. He told me that 
skskunk was going to make it. My excitement level doubled.
soulman21 shows up and we're on our way to the International Peace Gardens in Salt Lake City. It seems to take forever to get there. We are early and there are already 10+ furries waiting. I don't recognize many of them - fursona pics from Facebook rarely help identify in real life. I did get a quick hug from April. I was most eager for the 
pyrochan , 
gdzeek , and 
gldnclaw car to arrive and also, of course, an aforementioned skunk.
I spent the day handling for SK. (easy, fun job), and kept crossing paths with Zeek and Pyro on purpose. They were great fun to watch interacting with furries or the groups of children from around the park. Two of the coolest things I saw that day were a skunk on a skunk bike and a green Dragon backflipping off a swing. Well, that stuff and little kids being so excited to see the "funny animals" wandering around the park.
The meet ended too soon, but an aftermeet followed by an after-aftermeet meet with good friends and good burgers lasted until after midnight.
Sunday morning felt really sad. We knew it was over and we'd have to say our goodbyes. Thanks for the couchspace Midnite and Mystic!
It wasn't the end, though. I had made plans to hang out with Pyro on my way home. After some confusion, Zeek took me in for a while. I gave him all the pics from my SD card while we waited for Pyro, whom I was handed off to. I got some free food, hospitality, and play a six way game of Headbanz. (a game based off twenty questions) The best question of the night came from a non-fur (I'm assuming). It was "Am I furry."
About 9:00 pm I decide I need to head out. My lack of sleep catches up to me around midnight. I had to choose between falling asleep while driving or pulling over to fall asleep. Remembering what
oswanwolf spoke of last week, I chose the one where I don't die.
Totally worth it. Totally wish I would have had more time. Plenty of people I just said, "Hi," to, I would have liked to spend a few hours with. :(

Thanks. It's going to be a great summer thanks to all the cool furries I've met in the last eight months.
