FINALLY got some time to right up a con journal for FC. Longest I had ever been at a con, but man was it fun! Looks like I'm going to try and make a tradition out of this: journals recollecting what I can remember through the convention! Feel free to read through, it may be long though.

Wednesday

That's right! I got to the convention Wednesday evening. XP 7ish hour drive up and I picked up  serv on the way. He was the main reason I left on that day. He had to meet up with his otter  unition! So yeah, really long drive, but I think we did alright in keeping each other entertained for most of it. Except when it started getting dark and I had to cross through the mountains and Serv was napping! Scary! So we get there at like 8pm and kind of just pick the first parking lot available... which was really expensive. Whatever! We grab most of out stuff and head up to the room number in the Marriott and knock... nobody answers. Serv tries to call his roommates and we sit for a while waiting, then we find out the room is in the Hilton. XP Walk through the entire convention center! We finally get in and I got to meet Uni,  marfles, and  azlanfiretail. Canada furs! They're all pretty cool people, glad I could meet them. We settled in the room for a bit, then I headed back down with Serv so he could get the rest of his stuff. We come back out of the parking garage and a security guard stops us. Turns out there is a crazy looking guy stumbling around and mumbling in front of the entrance to the Marriott holding a large plastic bag in front of him. The guard said he has been around every night and been harassing girls walking by. Eventually we managed to get by with the guard, dunno what happened to the guy after that. Not much to do after dropping the rest of the stuff off, so we got food and hung out outside while a couple people smoked. Got to meet  mikau during that! Cool guy. After meandering for a bit, we headed back to the room and decided to sleep for tomorrow.

Thursday

Slept in because it was the first day of the con! Headed down with Serv and Uni to get breakfast, then we all poked around the shopping area. Serv got a new hat and skateboard! When we headed back Serv kind of got sucked into a group of a bunch of people I didn't know, so eventually I sneaked off to the reg line, since I recall seeing  halon,  raket, and  jfoxxsuiting playing cards against humanity in the front of the line when I walked past earlier. Watched them play for a little bit and then kind of just wiggled into line because I COULD. Yup. Didn't feel like waiting all day, which is how long it would have taken because they could only take four people in a time. Got that done and then met up with a very drunk  tiberiuswolf. XP We hung out for a little bit and then headed to opening ceremonies. After that we got free food! Chilled in Tiberius' room after that, met  scruffythefox, and had a few drinks while watching silly youtube videos. I couldn't get a hold of Serv... who was pretty much my only access to the room, so after a while Tiberius just let me crash in his room.

Friday

Slept in a little bit, then headed to the Dealer's Den! Haha, it was only Friday and I ordered a Derp from  painteddog, a badge from  likeshine, some prints from , which got me another badge, and a grey otter version of those bandanimals! I love it, and pretty much wore it for the rest of the convention. Tried to get a hold of Serv again because I needed to move my stuff to the new room. XP No such luck, so eventually Tiberius and I just went to Uncle Kage and 2's Story Hour. Guess I should have expected it, but I had heard most of what Kage had to say at Megaplex. XP Oh well, was still funny overall. After that eventually I kind of broke off from Tiberius because I was trying to get room things settled. XP I figured Serv might be a bit more responsive at night, so I switched tactics and tried to get my new room key first and I would just move my stuff when I was able. Texted and told her where I was. Spun my poi badly to guide her. XP Got the room key, finally got a hold of Serv, and then finally transferred my stuff to the new room. Headed back down to the lobby and got food with Tiberius, Halon(who had just got his partial, which was awesome), and . I felt like being silly and zipped up my hoodie and placed my otter bandana over it to become Otter Fett! lol. Once we got back and broke off, I stumbled upon ! He was heading down to catch the end of the dance competition, so I followed him there, which was pretty cool to watch! After that was the regular dance, where I was hoping to meet someone. XP Turns out he fell asleep. Anyway, eventually just went in myself and found Lockford. I spun poi for a little bit, Tiberius showed up, then I bounced around to the music for the remainder of the night. Oh! And I got to see spin poi in suit! That was really cool to watch. Got tired after a while and hung back, watching the dancers and spinners. Makes me want to practice! Everyone kind of drifted off after that and I was alone XP ... So decided to check out the new room and chill before doing anything else. Buuuut , my other roommate, was already asleep. Thought it might be awkward and annoying to be in and out, so I kind of laid in bed for a little bit before just going to bed.

Saturday

Woke up alone in the room! MrWolf, guy I was trying to meet last night, was texting me where he was. So I headed down with Tiberius to the end of the Live Animal Panel thing, talking about lemurs! Finally bumped into him after the panel and the three of us headed to the Dealer's Den again! I picked up my adorable badge from Likeshine! Looked at some other stuff, then went and got breakfast. We got back in time to watch the fursuit parade! Can't wait to be part of that. XP I think my favorite part was the rainbow/crayon group of furs, so cool! After that... it was time to BRAWL. Found out that MrWolf plays too and I got really excited, they were going to have a tournament. We headed in a little early and saw people doing free for alls, MrWolf jumped in for one... and then they announced that the tournament was starting. Uhh, where were the signups? XP Nobody said anything when we walked in and there were no signs... oh well, so we couldn't enter the tournament. You don't even know how badly I wanted to play while watching the tournament... it was painful. Oh! And a fursuiter won the tournament, didn't even take off his head or paws. I can't find him on FA though! His badge said Totem and he was a brown canine, maybe a coyote? But yeah, he actually looked pretty good, even in fursuit. MrWolf wanted to play him one on one and so did I. XP He was luckier than me, but I did get a free for all round with him in it and won, but those don't count! Was bummed about missing the tournament, but being able to play was still fun. MrWolf had to head off and it was time for the otter party anyway! The room was a lot smaller than I thought, and funnily enough I didn't see too many otters. XP was making delicious sushi though! I got to meet , he's a pretty cool guy! Eventually showed up with , so I got to meet him too! was there too! Yay meeting other otters! Otters noticed I wasn't drinking, so TJ made me a drink that smell strongly of alcohol, but didn't taste it. XP And it was blue! Hung out for a bit and then Raishiin invited me to his room when the otter party started dieing down. He took me to the Gay Party or something, where they were making tasty drinks corresponding to the different otter pop colors! I got a blue one. Then went up to Raishiin's room and had way too many glasses of rum and coke while looking at naughty comics. I got drunk. XP Got the sudden urge to text . A lot. So I did! Much to his amusement, I'm sure. XP Drunk texts! When I knew it wouldn't be wise to drink anymore, I stumbled down with Raishiin to the dance. Seriously couldn't walk straight, I would say random things and make random sounds. XP Watched the people dancing and spinning again. No way I was moving that much. XP Besides, I was too busy texting Tek! Once I started sobering up I realized that I was STARVING. Was still a little wobbly, but met up with Tiberius and MrWolf and got food. After that we hung out for way to long and I went to bed at like 5am. XP

Sunday

Tried to get up semi-early, since I found out it was the last day for the Dealer's Den. Headed over with Raishiin and Takum and picked up my badge from Rukis. Then Takum and I ordered badges from idess. XP MrWolf showed up! More Food! Tiberius showed up! Raishiin skittered off and once we got back Takum wanted to suit again, so we broke off and then met up again later. I wanted to see Takum play Brawl in suit, so we headed into the game lounge again, but only one tv had Brawl on it this time and it was pretty full. MrWolf and I eventually got to sneak in, but Takum was left out and I felt bad! He went to the headless lounge and eventually back to his room. MrWolf and I played some more Brawl, Tiberius rejoined us, and then we got invited to Takum's room party! Moooore drinking. Everyone got all comfy and one of the drinks I had tasted like a jolly rancher. Just thought I'd mention that. Didn't get as drunk as the other night, which kind of surprised me, but I was definitely wiggly. Seemed to sober up quickly though. Was fun overall! The party died down and we all decided to head to our separate rooms, since I had to leave the next day. XP

Monday

Not much to say about this day! Got up, got my stuff together, met up with MrWolf, share, and fantasee. Was trying to give Serv as much time as I could, since he rarely gets to see his otter, but eventually we all had to leave. Drive back took WAY longer than I thought it would lol, but everyone got back to where they needed to be. Except Serv left his phone in my car even after I asked if he had it with him while getting out! Awesome! I don't think I want to be the driver for a carpool like that again, or atleast not with that many people. XP Didn't get home TOO late though, so it's alright.

Because I can! They're cool too. Also to anyone else that talked to me that I have not mentioned above, you're all awesome! Thanks for noticing me. I had a really good time at this con, so glad I could head up there for the event! All my friends make it such a great experience, and it's always a pleasure meeting new people. Thanks for that.

And that's most of what I remember. XD There is a bit more, but I'll be here forever if I sit and try to recollect every last detail. If you made it this far, congrats, I hope it was a little entertaining for you. Thanks for reading though.
