My Halloween
13 years ago
So as I do every year, my sister, her fiance, my boyfriend and myself all headed down to Church Street in Toronto. With the rain expected we thought the turn out would be rather small but boy were we wrong! Thousands of people were down there, and I lost track of photos taken at 80... while we were still standing in the TTC station. It was epic, the usual pace taken with *shuffle, shuffle, photo op, photo op* ect. We barely could walk 4 feet without getting stopped for photos! It did rain more towards the end of the night, but that's okay cuz I had a big pink umbrella so it matched me hehehe.
I met a few fans of furries, one or two locals I'm sure too as they knew my name, but of course in suit at night I couldn't see a darn thing.
Avilon was blown away at the amount of attention I got in suit, he was my body guard, keeping away the drunks and unsavory types. <3
The only down side to the event was my fursuit feet. They were like a sponge. After walking on damp pavement for 20 feet my feet weighted and extra 20 pounds >.> So walking was a work out, throwing my whole body into lifting each foot as we went. When in the subway, I was leaving nice neat paw prints where ever I walked, and upon arriving back at our hotel (which we decided to stay at the hotel used for FE this year.. super amazing) I had to squeeze out black city water from my poor feets. So they sustained some damage, but I'll be able to fix them for sure.
In the end we had a blast, totally worth it, and once more I look forward to going back next year, without a storm hovering over our province!

Won't be back until the 8th or 9th of November - but thats awesome! Sounds like you had a blast! Can't wait to see the photos!
Will shoot for next year, though!
Sucks about the weather though, we didn't get many trick or treaters...only about 30.
