Anthrocon was...

...the single greatest thing I've ever experienced.
I met so many wonderful people, got hugs left and right, went to all sorts of fun events, and I have never felt more at home. For once in my life, I actually fit in somewhere. I learned a lot about others and myself, had some good conversations, never got in a fight, and the food was spectacular (THANK YOU, FURNANDO!). If I were to die right now, I would die a very happy dragon. I even got a table in Artists' Alley on my first go. I only made one sale, and I missed the Homestuck fan meetup, but my only mistake was taking my table only on Sunday, because no one had any money left for $5 badges. Next year, I'll try to take part of Friday or Saturday.
I've got a few thank-yous to send out:
-To Dark-Dragoncat, for being friendly and forgiving me for being an idiot.
-To my roommates: KevShepherd, Ghimno, Prefectionist, and RailRunner, for making my stay comfortable.
-To Zylana, good company and conversation and for teaching me a few things about myself and dragonkind.
-To Dracallis, for offering me free food (though I chose Zylana's company instead, because I'm just so lonely :c).
-To 2 Gryphon, for chuckles galore, a shotglass, and for taking the time to get a picture with a squeeing fanboy.
-To Splash, for hanging out with me and helping me start an awesome flashmob.
-To all the artists I commissioned for badges and cool stuff. The results are better than I'd hoped. <3 You're all amazing.
-To that badass fur who fixed the Westin escalator using his face right in front of me.
-To Furnando, for some of the best food I've had. I'll be back for lasagna wraps next year. ;3
-To Uncle Kage and the Dorsai, for making sure everything went smoothly and for running the whole deal.
-To Pittsburgh, for being so welcoming.
-To everyfur at the convention, for making the whole thing possible. Anthrocon would be nothing without its attendees.
-To anyone I missed, because it's hard to get everything. XD
I hope I'll be attending again next year. I'll be doing everything I can to save money for AC2013, right after I pay back my mother for this year. >< I completely ran out of money, even though I prepared with several hundred dollars. It wasn't enough. So I'll have more next time!
I love you all. You are my family, and Anthrocon will forever be my home.
See you next year!
