General
Well AC has been over for a few days now, but I'm still on vacation and still touring all over, using those feets and wearing out my pads!
What can I say? I'm no longer a con virgin! And DAAAAAAMN what a con it was! So many reports this was the best AC ever, and with nothing to compare, I gotta agree! So many panels, so many workshops, new faces, so much dancing, and running around in suit! It just goes nonstop, 4 hours of sleep every night, washing my clothes in the tub, free breakfast mornings CRAZYAWESOMEFUN!
Hoolleeee crap was Floor Wars awesome! Big thanks to
Last-Fur-One for hosting this awesome in-your-face dance battle! Everyone knows about the AC main competition and it is awesome as ever, but this is where it's at when you want to see all kinds of moves nobody can do in 'suit! I can see this getting bigger and bigger, drawing more of a crowd every con, every year!
Also went to the LFO Dance Workshop, which was a lot of fun and great to see the dancers giving back! I almost feel like it should be scheduled for a longer block--I didn't want to stop!
Group photo was MASSIIFFF! 1044 suiters D= Look for me,
wolfang_blitz, and
Canine_Alters a few rows back from front, center, with our arms around each other! <3 you guys! Parade was hella long-lasting with all them 'suiters, but went pretty fast from my perspective. Kage made an announcement that the "finish line" headless room smelled like a ton of Fabreeze (which was a good thing).
Played Apples to Apples with randomfurs in the Zoo, hung out a bit with Blitz, hung out a lot with
KalenStarfire who BTW, got the best video of all the dance comps out first! Check it: http://www.youtube.com/user/KalenSt.....eature=g-all-u
Speaking of dance comp, the main event one was so awesome, I just about cried. Okay maybe that was more because I was finally seeing one in person, rather than on youtube! We also formed the most official unofficial line ever for the event because someone forgot to tell the Dorsai to come marshal the door!
mighty-creation's show was short n sweet, with crazy juggling and of course the insane balancing act over 20 feet high, all in suit! I can barely ride escalators and dance without ramming into people in suit, let alone pull off stuff like that! Afterwards, he went around to different parts of the con hall, doing mini performances and we kept ending up seeing him all over!
We had a peaceful room at the Hampton, just the two of us--a good spot to wind down, with free internets and free breakfast every morning. The only downside was the inconvenience of fursuiting--it's like you need a caddy to haul your shit around for you or else you gotta marathon it all day long!
I also found I <3 furry raves, and of course, dancing in suit! http://youtu.be/0wTnIl5WmMQ I'm in there a few times and OHHH YEAH, I always wanted to dance on the stage at AC, so I did it!
Renard_V tore up our earholes while a handful of us sneaked backstage to raise the energy level. So much fun, I can die happy now.
Ate at Furnando's, got waved and honked at by Pittsburghers, and finally drove off into the sunset, tear in my eye. Thanks everyone for making my first con so special, so much fun, and quite certainly, the best time of my life.
