F3 recap
12 years ago
The truth may come in clever disguises...
So I was GOH (guest of honor) at F3. A first for your Coyote, I never suspected to be given such an honor when i entered the fandom in 2008. What follows is my best attempt to recall everything that transpired over this weekend. the good-the oops and the unexpected.
:shasta_wolf87:
and so many others who I do not have the Fa for, especially the Wolf who cooked the best chicken stew any of us ever licked our muzzles over!!!! You guys made the con great for me and my family. Thank you over again. Most parents would not feel the level of trust we do with there cub, but among you, we know she was watched over, if even from a distance.
As with most things planned, things happen beyond our control.
had an unfortunate accident on his scooter and burned up all his sick/vacation time and was forced to cancel as GOH. Or so i thought...the old Cat managed to make the drive after he left work on Saturday-drive 5 hours to stay 5 hours, do a panel with me, run the Furry Drama show,then make the journey back to be at work the following day. Thats dedicated, but his true reason to be there was to get the free booze in his SWAG bag, so don't be fooled. He grabbed my leg from under a table and scared the living crap out of me...I owe him one yet again.
F3 is brand new, and as with most things of this scope, a few elements we're overlooked, even though i know they planned for months. but even with the schedule being off (only an hour or so) they did manage to squeeze in 90% of the events planned.
The vendors we're few but decent..and OMG the hit of vendor row was the fresh donut maker...yes, donuts...so good they ran out of batter.
Artist alley had some outstanding undiscovered talent with good prices overall. Something for every budget.
My fellow GOH
had her Que full up, so props to you Hazard, you rock girl!!!
My panels were as follows:
1.Using your powers for good aka(how to be a proper representative of the fandom)
2.How to train your handler w/ my wonderful mate
and our girl Rhayven in suit!!!
3.Fursuit performance w/ Calamity and myself
4.Two left paws aka Dance 101 (personal favorite)
5.Introduction to Therion/guided meditation (this had an amazing and powerful impact on a select few who attended. Even I was surprised at the level of emotion pulled forth by our collective journey. as is decorum, I never reveal any experiences on these journeys. for the record, a lot of paths have come to a crossroads of sorts~the direction they choose is up to them.
I wish to take a moment to personally thank all of you who waited so patently for the panels. All of us genuinely appreciate your attendance and participation.
All in all the con was a success and I'm sure in the future it will grow as most good endeavors should.
The numbers I am unsure of, i believe the attendance was around 130 with 20 suiters.
The charity auction i know fetched over 300 for the benefactor.
No drama-no fires-not a single law enforcement agency had to be called, hell not even a panic attack...I'm loosing my touch. Good friends-awesome rave-good times-the best SWAG bag ever. If i have the time next year, I will go back again~unless ZE GERMANS invade. Them my crew will be pre-occupied.
Coyote deuces...

Thank you for all of the kind words, and for causing me to be turned into a mushroom. That was hilarious! LOL
