My amazing trip to FurtherConfusion (super long) (plus vid)
13 years ago
If you want, you may call me Mangy, but pronounce the 'G'!
Been working so hard with so little time up to this point.
To think we thought it was almost not going to happen when we awoke on the day of our flight to see delta canceled it and rebooked us for friday night. But we managed to work around to get earlier flights.
Flying is so much better with a boyfriend next to you <3
Orlando - Atlanta.. had like 3 hours to wait in ATL so had a stupidly expensive dinner at the TGIFridays. It was only 2 cocktails and an appetizer platter! I wish these airports had a sky tower accessible to visitors cause I want to see how enormous they are from up high.
From Atlanta to San Jose we were on a well populated flight of Furs. (There should be a find the furries in the terminal drinking game) Take a shot when you suspect a furry, take another when you confirm it, if they aren't a furry buy them a drink and tell them all about it.
Trivia with furs on a plane is great, thanks Delta for that. I won twice!
So arrived at the con at about 11pm.
Went up into our rooms right away to find the 4th floor is covered in plastic wrap... I still regret not throwing soap and water down the thing.
I also regret not drawing on it.
FFFFAAAAUUCCK whats wrong with you MONGOOSE?
But yeah, that was the party floor. Thought the static shocks were hilarious.
After announcing my presence to a few of my buds I got ahold of Apollo so we could get me in his suit and tryout for dance comps at midnight. @_@ Man, dog suits are so much fun... screw this digigrade stuff! And just to have the chance to be a totally different character from MonsteRoo is fantastic.
Okay okay sooo don't really remember the order of events cause this is where I probably start Drinking. I'll just point out great moments of the con.
-KUIET KING'S KUP
Abbreviated to KKK cause Diggy can't play. Yeah this took place after party curfew hours or something... so we had to keep the noise down. (bullshitcon XD)
Wait was diggy there? I just imagine he was there for every kings cup.
I just remember I was sitting next to Skroy and Doryuu... Pokemon rule PIKACHHHUUUUU!!!
Anne Frankemon - used silence... SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Don't laugh rule? Torture!!! D:
-ALL THE FOOOODS!
FC has got to be one of the best cons for options in dining. FWA is pretty awesome with its peach tree center. But there is some super delicious stuff in walking and open late too! I shall list a few.
-P'zza by Chicago [awesome delicious deepdish we got at 11pm just as it closed]
-Iguanas [super filling and savory burritos]
-Hydration [yummm and Boba Tea!]
-Johnny Rockets [classic burgers, great milkshakes]
-Bijan Bakery [FFFFFfffff best croissants I've ever ever ever had]
-Pita Pit [the life saver for late night dining, cant get enough of that Chicken Slavaki Pita]
-SafeWay Market [hey thanks for the alcohol and giving me a discount without a safeway card! also I proved my manliness and devotion to booze by alone carrying 80$ worth of drinks from there to the hotel]
-Psycho donuts [we won half a dozen from FC:Unleashed. Those were some wicked donuts.]
-China Chen [you know the dodgiest chinese restaurants always have the best eats.]
-Subway [hey, you're right across the street]
-Frolic
Dash and I had a blast at this. Wow, did it get hot in there. If anyone has footage of MonsteRoo dancing on tables please send it my way! great time. Big Thanks to Dante for carrying our stuff and looking out for us. WATERRRRR.
-Dance Competition
Turned out to be quite a fun event! Great improvements from last year. I really wanted to try the freestyle cause I just love to improvise but I also really wanted the chance to do something completely new. So ever since Summer Olympics 2012 I really wanted to bring that to the dance floor. There was no way I could do it with Monster.. So Thank you So much Apollo, (I know I've said it about 50 times now) for giving me the chance and your suit to pull it off. Heres a clip of the magic that ensued. I love seeing everyone's reaction!
3rd Place! I got all tangled up in the end :P Was only my second time trying this stuff out in suit, was likely to happen at some point.
Congratz to Kyowe and Doryuu on the 1st and Second Place! And of course Apollo, Phor, and Telephone's spots in freestyle.
-FC: Unleashed
So looking at the past year's showcases I was really underestimating event. I thought it was going to be like all the other variety shows from cons. Wow, did they step it up this year. So many talented acts. I am so proud of Dash for pulling off the choreography we had put together in 3 days. The act turned out pretty damn adorable even with the few screw ups. The map scene totally failed! XD waiting on some good footage, so far all I've found was someone taping from real far back. Let us know if you've filmed us!
We also spent a day in San Francisco.
That was quite an adventure, very tiring, but so happy I got to go.
We survived through hobo town, it was like a break out of Arkham Asylum criminals. Was just odd, the city itself was so beautiful but so many lunatics shoveling around... one was literally dressed in a clown suit. Fortunately they all migrate to one section, once you cross over to Castro Street its nothing but attractive gay people and super expensive clothing stores. Had some awesome Indian curry, that wanted to show us how awesome it was even after we had digested it @_@ Seriously though it was delicious. Took a cab through the super steep streets to get to the golden gate. Loved the bridge. Wish I got to see the sunset though, but we were a bit late. Took the muni all the way back the Train station.
Crazy cool city, but not set on seeing it again.
IMAX DOME
Woah 0.0 So in that little science museum a block from the hotel theres an IMAX dome theater. WAS AWESSSSOOMMMEEEE!! We went there on Tuesday after everyone had left and we were waiting for our departure flight. If we ever go again, we gotta get more furries in on this.
Loved getting to meet my friends closer and also having my boy beside me and they could get to know us as a couple, finally.
Heres the part where I make some personal shout outs to the peeps we spent good times with.

Awww... mind is blanking out.
Nothing much left to say but what an experience it has been for me and Dash.
I really didn't have plans to go to this con, I didn't know what to expect. There was so much love for every moment. Had some really special moments just in his arms. This has been a great way to start 2013, I have a feeling our paths are on a good path.
