So here is my delayed AC report! **Edited***
Thursday: Arrival round 1 pm Eastern, checked into my room, went to registration and took less than 5 minutes to pick up my badge. Those of you who pay attention know that this was my first AC so I had no Idea how registration would be. I quickly found that preregistering was a great idea. There were about 10 lines to go to to pick up your badge and it was all in alphabetical order...and when I got there...there was nobody else there. Those that were registering at con on Thursday would have had about a 20 minute wait in line, which wasn't bad. I have had to wait for upwards of 4 hours just to pick up a badge when I preregistered at other cons. The rest of the night was pretty quiet, between fursuiting in Perrie Dott and getting to know the area a little. Nothing else to report there.***edit*** Except for the fact that
was super awesome and fed me after spending at least three hours sitting in the lobby of the hotel talking. It was very entertaining and enjoyable. And i'm not sure...but I think more than a few people were surprised I was able to put down that whole pizza. ***edit***
Friday: Woke up at 7AM, took a shower and went for a walk through downtown Pittsburgh. The area is beautiful and I walked about two miles exploring the city and learning the best routes to get from my hotel, which was the Hampton Inn, to the Westin and to the DLCC (David Lawrence Convention Center). After that I went back to my Hotel to catch some breakfast before going to Opening Ceremonies. Sardyoun-San Did a small bit of juggling at the request of :Kagemushi: and was absolutely adorable. When Opening Ceremonies were over I went back to my room again and put my Perrie Dott suit back on and walked around until it was time for the Bucktown Tiger Concert :3 I am a big fan of Buck and it was super awesome meeting him over the weekend. I think I ran into him at least ten times the whole weekend and I assure you I wasn't stalking him. I didn't really go to any other panels on Friday. I do recall meandering around the con in suit until I got hungry and went back for food. I finally met up with
and
around 6PM and spent the rest of the night hanging with them while they worked on building fursuits. I also met a very interesting wolf that night...a guy by the name of
who I have actually met before, but never talked to. Anyway, we hung out for a bit walking around the con till about 3AM and it appears that I now have a body guard at all the cons that I go to :3
Saturday: I meandered most of the morning Walked the dealers room and talked with a few people which was difficult as I was once again in suit! I'm proud that I suited so much at the con, I didn't think I would do too much of it to be honest. I was also in the fursuit parade, again in Perrie Dott. In most of the videos on YouTube, I am about 12 to 13 minutes into the parade. Five of Drakonic's husky suits were at the con and all five of us were in the parade together, as well as the official photo of the event. That parade was the most fun I've had in a long time! I also met a cool cat by the name of
who had had a set of digilegs done by Drak the night before. She was a really awesome chick to meet and spend some time with. After the parade I spent some time hanging out with Morin again and we went to Furnando's where I got me a dog bowl and a sandwich and looked like an idiot because I didn't know how to order. I do feel that there was a major lack of organization in the ordering process, but I won't complain because Fernando was really awesome while we were there. Congratulations are in order as well for Anthrocon, as they now have their own Personal Restaurant. Spent a little time at the dance as well, but struggled to dance cuz I just can groove to techno the way I used to, especially with my bad knee.
Sunday: Not much happened here. I slept in and walked around with Morin after I got a shower. I made sure to finally find
's table cuz I promised her I would come visit and talk, but I had yet to find her. She is an awesome artist and a very sweet person, so if you don't know her please go check her out and consider commissioning her. I had also wanted to show her that I still had the badge she had done for me and gone up to her wearing it and to thank her, but I was dumb and forgot all my badges before the con. I also managed to not forget anything at the con. I remembered to get all of my stuff out of the bathroom unlike another con a few years ago where I left behind my brand new bar of soap and fairly new towel never to be seen again. I finally left the con around 6pm, an hour later than I had planned, and got home at 10:30.
I'm sure there are things missing here, and there is nothing wrong with that. What happens at Anthrocon will generally stay at Anthrocon. Thank you for reading, please take a cookie and have a good night! If you see any pictures of me floating around please let me know so I can favorite them! Love you all!
