FAU 5 Post Con Report
13 years ago
General
I got home from the con not too long ago and figured it'd be best to do the carnage report now before I sleep and the impact of the weekend fades from memory into legend.
Okay, got there Friday morning but got stuck in the shockingly long and slow line for pre-registered con-goers. But it did give me time to better know the guy behind me, none other than
BlickFen! Ate dinner with him among others, at a Japanese place that made the best potatoes I've ever eaten.
Also saw my beef-bros.
brauner and
solusar in line. Last night we went to Chili's, along with
yunin and then we played all manner of crazy modes in Halo: Reach. Closest thing I've had to recreating my college experience in a long time.
And on the note of games, did a massive game of Red Dragon Inn and a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity. Cards is the best game to bring a party to life.
And the zenith of the whole con was the charity even hosted by
dragoneer and
sciggles, a Will it Blend homage with all proceeds going to the NJSPCA. I kicked it off by bidding for 'Neer to start with sardines (I'm reeeeeeeeally sorry about that, Dragoneer. But hey, it was for a good cause, right? Please don't suspend me). Also got Sciggles to down cream of mushroom soup, but I shared the pain by taking a shot mixed with baked beans, garlic hummus, and gummi bears. It... was actually quite good. With the right soup to hummus ratio I might be able to get a great new dip out of it.
Still, Dragoneer, Sciggles I'm really, really (kinda) sorry about choosing those (Maybe. I can be a bastard at times).
You can expect art work incoming, both from Sciggles herself and from
gideon.
In closing, this was the best FAU yet and may even outrank last year's FurFright as my best con to date.

What did you order? 83
We had a blast! And I've learned that pickle juice, in fact, mixes well with nothing.
