MY FIRST CONVENTION TO GO TO WAS THE BEST!!
13 years ago
General
So here I am home in Oxnard, CA
Things feel Waaaaay different then how it was at Pittsburg.
When I first arrived at Pittsburg I was sooo scared and shy to talk to anyone,
So throughout the convention I was alone and nervous to take pictures of the furries I've see on YouTube and also the one who were friendly and sooo nice to talk to!
The dances were so AWESOME and very colorful thanks to Fizzy!
And on my way to my hotel room I meet up with Kazzam n he sure loved to party a lot!
At the Fursuit Parade I meet a nice guy name June in wich we had a lovely conversation about art.
Day go by of laughter and joy, and just like Uncle Kage said
"We are now at the point to wake up from our dream"
but I didn't wanted to go back home yet!
I then decided to go to the Weston and site down just to be around people for no reason
I ended up overhearing a funny conversation between Fizzy and Mattrex who were also talking about handing out a lot more glowsticks then this year.
I was nice of Fizzy handing them out and for that I call him The Bringer of Glowsticks!
Then Fizzy started to talk to me about the idea and told me I wanted to help, I do and I will find a way to help Fizzy with his dream.
That's when Mattrex told me if I wanted to go to the Dead Dog Dance and help Fizzy give out Glowsticks and to have some fun.
I agreed and went with them to the event.
I was nervous doing this, but as soon as I gave some glowsticks to some people, the minute someone tells you thank you and gives you a high five or a hug, I could see why Fizzy likes doing this.
It's a great feeling and it's a very nice thing to do.
I was still nervouse being around the dance floor until the most funniest thing happend to me.
Mattrex started to dance right before my eyes and encouraged me to move along.
I was shy, but being with someone like that came make a man feel happy and just not care about what others think about you and then you end up doing it and having a blast!
I will always remember that night with those two.
When all good thing must come to an end, I was sad to leave Pittsburg, also knowed as my new home, leaving and seeing everyone go made me want to cry, until the taxi driver, Tom, noticed my sad face and started talk to me and wanted to show me the whole city by taking a different road toy destination, he also told me about a song that seemed like it was a great song to him to play when it come to furries leaving Pittsburg.
The song was called "Don't Be Sad" by Brad Mehldau but he likes to call it "Don't be Sad Furry"
And when the song started to play and seeing the whole city right in front of you and also Anthrocon being the first convention to go to, can bring tears to your eyes.
So I'm at the airport ready to leave untill this nice guy named Zander talks to me about himself and I was amazed to find someone so nice and compassionate to friends and others. Zander is also planing to make a convention at his home town in Virginia and I wish him good luck and to take good care of himself and to also hope to see him again next year.
When I was all alone and no one to talk to and thinking to myself
"Now here come the time for me to cry in a corner and be alone, untill I meet a furry name Red Wolf who noticed my AC2012 badge and he started talking to me.
Red talked about how he broke his hand and he still dance the night away!
That my friends is hardcore. X3
Things started to go smoothly and soon I started to feel happy now and going home may not be my Mid Summer Night Dream, but it is my home town and I do wish to see my friends and family there.
So as I close to ending this long speech, I would like to say to all my new friends, old friends, family and all the furries out there:
Howl Till You Drop!
And may we see each other again next year.
