Confuzzled 2012 conrep
13 years ago
CF2012 was a blast. I thought the way it was setup is perfect for an introverted wolf like myself. Many small events that I can choose to go to, and if it gets overwhelming, I get to retreat to the sanctity of my private quarters. All in all, apart from being very enjoyable, it was very relaxing.
The £1.2k bid at the auction has got the be the highlight of Sunday - it was super intense between two of our ukfurs, shaman and cueball for a tani original. 10% went to charity on that, good job guys!
Didn't get much photography done but I did get some shots of fursuiters I've been wanting to see. Clockwork creature suits are soo awesome!
Many thanks to those that attended the photography workshop - I think I made the fatal error of covering too much - definitely need more focus in the short amount of time we had.
Things I liked about the con
- Very well planned and laid out.
- Lots of events to keep occupied
- Hotel rooms are generous and spacious. My particular room lacked a fridge and I had milk curdle but that was a minor issue.
- Staff (both hotel and con) were very friendly and professional.
- Artist alley was very nice, sadly I only spent a short while there as there were soo many things to do, thanks to the busy schedule.
- Tiger Tom/Malamut's studio for the fursuit photography is amazing! Wait for his pictures to show up - it's a big step up for last years' imo.
- Dealers den appeared to be well sized, and the spacing for furs to move about pretty good.
- I liked the fact that the adult pieces were put up behind curtains. I seriously did not see the sign indicating adult pieces were behind the curtain, and I was going "hmmm, I really like the artwork at this con! All nice and pg!" Duh!
- I enjoyed the food at the hotel - maybe because my idea of an awesome meal is instant noodles.
- Good size crowd: I like being a face in a crowd.
Things I found lacking
- Middle of nowhere - fursuit parade around the hotel was quite meh, really need a vehicle to get around as the taxi charges are quite expensive.
Things I wish next year's con will have
- During this year's auction, many pieces went with 0 percent to charity! Come on, 5% would be a good token value, and may gain positive PR as well. I am quite saddened by how many artists had their pieces up at 0%. A minimum of 10% for all pieces on auction to charity would be my suggestion.
