Well now that I can say that I'm back finally, I'll do this post con thing. Sadly, there's not much to report on my part this year so I'll start all the way at the train ride part. First time doing this so I didn't know what to expect really, but it turns out they're more relaxed about shit than I thought they would be. The ride itself was pretty good, though slower than I thought we should be going at times, so as a result I was a bit late arriving. I get there and find out that my choice in arrival stations was... wrong. So I had to stand around for a couple hours, but from there it was smooth sailing.

Got to the con and helped  acebearpaws set up the photo shoot stuff while we waited for  maplegleam  fidget_duck and  The_Cheshire_Penguin to get in from their dinner. And well... then the con happened. Nothing really stood out this year for me and I don't really have a reason why. I was just off my game or something, I don't know. Wasn't successful at finding anyone to really hang with for any extended period of time, wasn't invited to any parties or anything, just ended up invisible really. Longest time I spent talking to any one person is a toss up between  Sasuke in the registration line (thanks for the booze by the way), and hanging with  maplegleam after the FireFright incident (which I'm sure enough of rambled on about so I'll spare you). So I dunno, maybe it's just not being able to shake all the things that went ass up before the con, or maybe it was just me over hyping myself this year, but I just couldn't find the magic. Not to say I didn't have fun, but not as much as I could have. And fuck this hurricane man, it ruined the end of this con big time. I'm use to helping with the truck and sitting down with the staff for an awesome dinner at the end, but this time everyone had to flee leaving the truck crew very small and the dinner not happening, though the dinner cancelling might have been  BelicBear not feeling so hot. If you read this man, I hope you're feeling better. Hope to catch up with you some once the smoke clears. I did walk away with some good art commissions though which will trickle in at different times I'm sure, but you'll all see them when I have them and they're almost all from artists I hadn't been watching before so that's fun. Also dove into Munchkin cause of all the fun I had playing it last year and walked out with three different kinds so that's also awesome.

Then there's the going home part, this part sucks. A lot. Drive home was... a little rain, so we're all thinking "what hurricane?" Then my phone goes off, but it's a number I didn't know so I ignored it. Voice mail. Odd. Give it a listen, and Amtrak is suspending operations which cancels my train home. So I spend an extra night at  acebearpaws' place and before I get a chance to myself, my sister moves my ticket to the following day. She's just good like that. So Ace and I are hanging about the night before I go back, I'm on a laptop and on a whim I check my email for a second time that night. Amtrak again with a suspended service email sent at damn near 10pm. Pretty dick move not giving people much warning there, don't ya think? Well Ace says fuck this and was awesome enough to take a day from his work and get me home so I could get to work myself, which kinda sucked cause it was that same night that he'd get me home. And my air mattress was dead. And my boss had the flu. Yeah it was a shitty night at work, but I was there. And now I'm here, trying to get back into my old schedule just in time to have it fucked up by daylight savings.

So yeah, that was my FurFright experience. Rather bland really, but can't always be the best experience ever, and there is always next year hopefully. Just needs less hurricanes and fire drills and more booze. Off to post some art now.
