FurFright X
13 years ago
Thankfully i am back safe and sound from FurFright 10. The hurricane made for dangerous driving conditions. Hopefully every furry made it home safely.
i saw the aftermaths of five wrecks in the storm on the way back, including a just extinguished smoldering car, and a roll over that looked fatal. If someone walked away from that one, it was a miracle. i ought to know, i've been in a hard roll myself and walked away stunned but alive.
FurFright was worth the trip and fun as it always is.
This year i participated in the Fursuit Games, thanks to friendly prodding by Bleis. Glad he talked me into it too, we won second place, and it was fun!
i brought my usual trash bags full with donations of plushies and things for the War Dogs charity. And i made a quick ink sketch for the charity art book. Several furs complimented it and i'm always reluctant to accept kudos. But then suddenly Belic practically explodes with "Dude that's awesome!" :D Belic being Belic, his enthusiasm absolutely destroyed my self-criticism. XD So ok Belic, it was awesome. :D
Finally i bought a souvenir shirt. The first time i could afford it in three years. Sadly they ran out of convention DVDs way too early. So i didn't get a copy of this year's documentary myself, and i'm in it.. well sort of. Heehee Imagine my shock when i see "someone" wearing a Smurf hat on the big screen in the documentary at opening ceremonies. 0.0 Myself and Bleis were probably the only ones laughing at that moment. To those who were there and didn't understand the laughter, well i'm not telling what the story behind the photo was. mwahahaha XP
Without any hints i was "surpiesed" by Bleis. 0.0 Maybe i'll be brave and post a pic or two of that. heehee
i participated in the first parade, sadly missed the second one. Went to some panels. Hung out with Bleis, Paws, and Wallaby. Hung out a bit with Waggable a bit too. Had a blast at Bleis' pizza party playing Cards Against Humanity with Hivuel, and everyone else. And the furs who could have same to the party and didn't make it missed out on a GREAT time and lots of pizza. Furs left this one with their sides aching from hours of laughter.
i'm sure i'm forgetting something, but there's so much to recount. This sums it all up pretty well. Well worth two days worth of driving including one in hurricane force rain and wind, not to mention the cost of gas. Yikes. But it's all good. Furfright is FUN!
