FurFright 2012 AKA HurriCon AKA ParkinglotCon
13 years ago
General
FurFright was so eventful and amazing it is hard to sum it all up.
Thursday at about 9pm
~soulwolf~ and Gryphan arrived to our place and we packed the Flex for our trip to CT.
bt-armistice came home around 11:30pm to passed out people in our living room (not a stretch that can happen often) and me still awake (dumb).
Friday at 4:00am my alarm goes off and it is time to get ready. With an ample 2 hours sleep I pile into the car and we head off on the road. The border crossing was very simple, I am beginning to wonder if it is even necessary anymore ;) and a very uneventful trip was had.
We arrived at the hotel a little later then I wanted to but we managed to get a sweet parking spot right out front of the main entrance so that was a bonus. We unpacked the car and took the gear up to the room while Gryphan stood in line waiting to register. The rest of us picked up our badges and we were off to the con!
The first thing I did was go to the dealers room to pick up my new FurFright hockey jersey! I had made the decision that it would be my con uniform so no one saw me without it except for the moments when I was in the pool or at the gym.
The day was a blur really, I saw so many people and had so little sleep that trying to name them all would be SO HARD!
Saturday much fun was had up until
bigwolfbebad and
wulven took me to Planet Fitness and abused me by making me lift heavy things and put them down again. My everything hurt later that night and I still hate yet love them.
Sunday at 4AM we were woke to the loving claxon of the fire alarms going off and we all piled out of bed and into the parking lot of the hotel.
For second morning at a more reasonable 8am we got up and had breakfast. Much more wandering was done and hugs were had. It is so hard to remember the details as the con was just non stop. Attended the fursuit games and then the team photo for the con.
Much worrying was done about HurriCon that was coming up we decided that a 6am departure should keep us ahead of everything so that was when we left. Thankfully I had filled the Flex up with gas the day before just to make sure that I didn't get "Disaster Pricing" on it and to make sure that I did in fact get gas and it was not sold out.
We stayed ahead of the storm and made great time, probably due to the tail-wind that we had for a bulk of it. The border was crossed and we were back home in no time at all after that.
I had such a great time I just want everyone to know that meeting and seeing you all was the real highlight of the convention for me. And to everyone who complimented me on the weight loss and how different I looked, I am truly humbled by your words. Thank you so much.
I love you all

And Sandy took away our gym time. Bitch.
But I am glad I got to spend some time with you.
Glad you got back safe.
I was happy to spend some time with you too and hope we can do it again soon! *hugs*
