Post-Con Report -- Anthrocon edition!

General
I'll keep it short as everyone hates reading tons of text in these things hehe
We're back! Wow what a con! Pittsburgh is the single furry friendliest place I've ever been. The drive up there was beautiful and since we were coming from Oklahoma the weather just kept getting cooler and by the time we got there it was perfect suiting weather for an Oklahoma fur.
I met so many great people there's no way I could list them all. The only downfall of the whole thing is you don't really get much one on one time with people as so much is going on. I put my mate through his paces as a handler, at a few points he was literally running to keep up with me as i would see something shiny and sprint through the convention halls to see what it was.
We've already decided we're going every year from now on. AC is a can't miss : ). It bordered on a spiritual experience for me, there was very very little negativity anywhere. Outside the con on the streets of pittsburgh, the city was extremely welcoming and even came around to take pictures and wave at us and of course get some hugs. Everyone and i mean EVERYONE seemed to be happy we were there, it was a totally new experience for me.
Anthrocon 2013 is already marked on the calendar , can't wait to go back.

You guys'll have to try for FC also, come January^^. Glad the weather was so befitting for the suiters. It can get shitty muggy up there too but that happens later in the year typically.
Plus FC is the 2nd largest con, it's the West Coast version of AC, so you gotta hit it up sometime, it's awesome out there^_^.
