FurFright Wrap-up
13 years ago
General
Well start off, the convention was great as always, had fun seeing some of my friends again that i can't see at all during the year. Had some interesting times and will go down that list here :) (forgive spelling mistakes)
1) Attendee Guest-of-honor: Last year I won this prestigious award, this year my friend
aurilyn won this award. It was her second or third time she's been to a furcon so she was excited. Belic "accused" me of cheating. Silly bear :)
2) The arrival of the "Legendary" ... The One, the Only... the eternally lonely (cause its lonely at the top) Oki Doki Coyote!
Okidoki was one of the people that i turned to for Furry stuff. Advice, questions, comments, puns and prank ideas on one ... Calamity Cougar. He's been a friend of mine since 2008. It was great to finally see him for the first time. Got to see
erisvalgen,
Fionnadh, and
askari there, was a lot of laughs and pictures. ... Oki, when you see this i want copies of some of those pics she took :)
3) Watched the "Red Bandits" win the fursuit massacre this year. Went down to the final round of "musical chairs" to determine the winner. And the team stayed together and did well in the games. Finally coming down to Nbowla (spelling his name wrong I know!) and JTigerclaw. insuring the red teams win over the title, and JT won the last chair. Was awesome to see him win!
4) Fursuit Masquerade: I didn't participate this year and ... kinda wished that I did. But there was several amazing acts this year. Waiting for the CD for JT, Twitch and company's band, ... sleep dep is killing memory of the name. There also was a dance troupe that won the contest, They did an amazing job. I do hope that we can see more of them in the future!
5) Costume contest: Instead of "Franken-fursuit" event this year, there was a costume contest. Couldn't get mine to work, but will try harder for next year. But there was some amazing costumes, and felt good that the people that dressed up for the con got some recognition. Again memory loss robs me of the winners, but some good ones up there. I liked the costumer that did the "Bane" character from the newest Batman movie, he did a very good job!
6) Fursuit Dance Competition: There was an official Fursuit dance competition this year, got to see some amazing dancers. Got to see a friend of mine
Sadariuswolf win the big prize. Congrats dude! You earned it!! I would like to dance some, but this wolger has two left paws. Judges for the competition was JDPuppy, KwiK, Dex and one other (can't remember his name) an excellent panel for people to be judged by. Some of the great fursuit dancers.
7) Hurricane Sandy: This girl was playing a major role in a lot of our lives this year. She sauntered up the coast line and the forecasters telling us how strange she was going to be, and how dangerous. Me and my mate realized Saturday that we are driving through her projected path. So we left Early Sunday afternoon and began the long drive back home. Thankfully the weather wasn't too bad ... though have to admit. Drove 10hrs straight with only one stop for food and another for gas, ... this wolger was beat.
