2ND BEST FWA for me personally.
BEST FWA as far as amount of parties and EPICness of parties.

the elevator situation wasn't really that bad.

the hotel staff were really nice, although uninformed about what was
going on in the hotel/policies etc, compared to the horrendous staff
AT BOTH versions of the Sheraton FWA was hosted at in the past is was a
breath of fresh air.

~THE NEW HOTEL~

its funny how many trash on this hotel, but SERIOUSLY which of the
previous hotels did you honestly like better ?
the Sheraton with the Stairs of doom ? (tumbles the stairdragon)
don't forget, there were no resturants within walking distance...

the Hilton ? Retarded expensive for mediocre rooms

the "newer" sheraton with 2 towers (north/south) that literally
split the con attendees in half, and had ZERO cell reception
in the con space because it used to be a PARKING GARAGE and is
95% steel and concrete ?

THURSDAY

so i pulled up to the hotel around 4PM

1st person i recognized at the con when i came was  miraelcuco ~!
i pulled into the parking garage and called my roommate and host of the
room for the weekend,  dokatrall

he was nice and helped me carry my things up to the room. got situated
and went to register.

during the registration process ran into a friend
from RCFM (and Fangcon) - she had PAID for a room for thursday night
VIA PAY-PAL and they guy bailed and said he wouldn't be checking in until
FRIDAY~ (whaaaaaat????) so she knew another person who would have been her
room mate (had they not posted later, or had she not made her arragements in
advanced) anyway she didn't have that person's contact info in her phone
so we needed to use a computer in order to access FA to get into her account
and her notes to get that specific info...

so we go into the business center and the terminals are not free like
every other high-end hotel chain. So i have to hack to terminal to get on
to FA, because its foolish to pay $5 in order to look at the internet
for 10 minutes. so once we got in we were able to call dude and get her
taken care of.

A non-furry comes into the business center and needs to print an email.
an older guy in his late 40's early 50's... well the print operations are
disabled unless you pay, so i told him he had to basically pay $6 to
print one page... he said it was ok cuz he had to have it.
After that he was like " how long have you worked here ? " and i'm like
"actually, i don't work here, i just like to help " and he was confused
"i thought from the suit, and... well is there anything i can do to repay
you ??" and of course i was like " nah nah thats fine " so he introduced
himself as barry, and i introduced myself, and as we left i said "you know
what barry?? maybe we could share a coffee together " and he was like ok
" i will buy you a coffee " we exchanged #s so we could meet up later.

well after that i was looking for friends to hang with, and i don't remember
much of anyone i ran into thurs early evening... i did eventually run into
 Hazzardwolf and  dizzyfoxx invited me to the Bro party which was

awesome of him to do! Me and hazzard were then hanging out and he needed
to go smoke, so then as we were on our way outside, barry from earlier walked
by and i called out to him " Hey Barry, you didn't forget about me did you? "
well he said he was going to the bathroom then we could see about that

coffee.

well when we got to the starbucks, it was closed, so he said he would buy
me a drink at the bar... well he was REALLY generous and ended up buying
both me and Hazzard a Drink at the bar. we Discussed furries and his job
which was selling/distributing books.

after that event i went back to my room, cracked open a four loko
and began my 1st night of Drinking. at some point i paid a stranger
$3 for a slice of pizza, and later yet rubbed some furry's fuzzy head
in the lobby, he was like "cut it out" it was so hilarious... then
i began to meander through the endless cooridors of the hotel in search
of anything going on this late into thursday evening. eventually i ended
up harrassing Mira El Cuco and his lady friend, he wasn't his usual
playful self because of the lady, i guess he had to straighten up and
act 'mature' - i drew him a robot with big titties, he was not very
amused by the image. soon after i met a new friend Trenton, we hung out
and talked in my car. then eventually we said bye, and i went back to
my hotel room and went to bed around 6 or 7 am.

FRIDAY

when i awoke around 10:30 AM one of our roommates was in a shower
in progress... little did i know it was an EPIC shower, and the couple
staying in the bed across from the bed i was sleeping in (3 deep, now just
me - as Dokatrall had left and other dude was in the shower) they
were 'playing' and it was kinky, but it was kinda making me miss
my ex-boyfriend... so when he finished the shower at 12:00 the couple
got into the shower and they were in there until 1pm or so, anyway
in the midst of that as i was in and out of conciousness not totally
aware of what was going on, a knock on the door, two guys waiting
for dokatrall, i told them to hold on, asked the guys if dokatrall was in
the shower, they said yes... so i told the guys they opted to wait
outside of the room... well one shower completed later they asked
them whats up, and they were still waiting on dokatrall. but it was
a misunderstanding cuz well he wasn't actually in the shower with the
couple (woulda been quite an event indeed) so they were like "aww come on
what a waste of time~!"

well after that happened and the couple came back in the room they were
leaving i thought i may as well shower too... so as i'm about to shower
who should text me but barry from the other night, he invited me to lunch...
well i told him i'm about to shower but we could still eat lunch after.
he asked to come up while i shower, i was like SURE why not, so i txt'd
the room # and before i knew it he was in there watching me shower...
(i mean sure why not??) so before i finished i guess he got bored of
my tedious (thorough) routine and said he'd wait in his room.

well i was feelin a bit off from the drinking, realizing i had drank no water
i opened the complimentary water, and drank it, went to Barry's room
and set my water down before i was out the door to pick us up a lunch
he said he was too tired to do a lot of walking because he exerted himself
yesterday walking everywhere (god i don't wanna get old)...
so i got a Starbucks Sandwhich and some chips from the giftshop and returned.

the sandwhich was firm and had cranberries...O...K.... we cut it in half
and ate, i was then drinking my bottled water and Barry starts to get a
lil weird " you must not have gotten any sleep last night, you must be tired,
when did you go to bed ? " and i was like " um 5 am ?? " and he was like
"yeah thats no good, just lay down " and i said " i don't lay down in my
suit," he said " its ok to get naked, just, lay there i won't touch you
you will be safe " ... at that moment something strange happened
the room starting spinning and i was short of breath and my head was
throbbing. luckily i had seen human centipede and realized i shouldn't have
left my water unattended and it was probably drugged. it was just weird
the way he was trying to coax me similar to the way the kind german DR.
did in that movie. so after that i was like " i'm really feeling sick
i gotta get back to my room and sleep this hangover off " and he was
visably dissapointed, but allowed me to leave.

i stumbled to the elevator and to my room, about to pass out.
i told my room mate what happened and he set me straight
and said i was being a paranoid idiot,
and am just dehydrated from not drinking any water...
So i drank 4 glasses of water and almost immediately felt better.
i checked the water bottle and there was no sign of tampering,
and no debris in the bottom of it either. So yeah Barry didn't drug me,
he was just being a lil persistant is all.

i was really confused by the event because i've never felt that before,
and never been completely dehydrated. it sucks, drink your water people.
(also NEVER leave a drink unattended, even water)

so i went back to sleep safely snuggled in my room... i woke up
and would have gotten up, but i was thinking about my exboyfriend
again... i was really missing him and started crying. i texted my
friend  tarynwahboi to see if he would come up and talk to me
(he was the 1st person i told i had ended the 2 year relationship)
well no response until that evening when he (sweetly, o thank god)
invited me to dinner, i took a quick shower and put on my suit n tie
and headed for downstairs to meet Taryn and another fur we've both met
before, to be honest i remember playing 'are you a werewolf' with him
but not much else....

We stepped into the Game Room, and Saw DM Ashura immediately,
i told him i was jammin to his song the otherday (guilty pleasure).
We asked what we'd been up to lately, he commented on my sharp suit =3
we all played a round of beatmania, and a couple other friends came
up and we were procrastinating dinner... no big issue, because i wasn't hungry

for real,
but the mall is a food court and CLOSES 'early' so we leave at 8:50pm finally
get there @ 8:59 and the "Cajun China Grill" was the only place open but
the lady was like " CLOSING SPECIAL $5!!!" so we got in last minute
she was our savior of the evening and we saluted her like a hero when she
left. also snapped a nifty picture of Taryn about to bite into a peice of
chicken (hilarious) its in my photobucket...

when i got back i got a txt inviting me to a room party with

 Hazzardwolf got in, met some people, (photos in photobucket of
me hazard and forge)(also Brine jr folder the Bad dragon dongs/ cigs,
was from that party) - Forge had his playlist going, VERY good music.
During that party a charismatic young guy from the UK named  Borny
came down and asked for a cork-screw - which THEY HAD!! so we talked with
him and he did his American accent which was HILARIOUS~!!!!(sounded like
a desperate guy on crack, cuz he was speaking REALLY fast, lol)
the party started to wind down when Forge chugged a shit ton of Tequila,
and the people in attendance were already at their limit and needing
to leave for fresh air.
so i left (much love, you guys made my con, because i'm so happy i have
Friends) in pursuit of other con adventures...
at (seemingly Random) i ran into  twistedspectrum and they were handing out
jello shots. and i followed them along with some SUPER PROPER peoples
"Pip pip i say dear fellow, you are a proper gentleman!" omg the Fursuiter
in the 18th century neck-truffles, powdered wig, and knee-high knicker-bockers
WAS-TOO-FUCKING-MUCH do you hear me??? LAMO~

after a bit of a meandering and the crowd being told to be quiet because
of noise complaints (what noise complaints) some people taper'd off and
filtered away. with only a few remaining in Crew, i followed them to a
room, well one of the persons, said " we will be right out just wait in the
hall " and i was like " well i will be completely silent and if not you
can throw me out..." well they were not havin a drunken dude in a nice
suit in their room whom only one person knew, even tho i said spectrum
could vouch for me they insisted i wait outside...
so i did for like maybe 2 minutes (seems like forever when drunk)
before i lost patients and knocked... i told them to send Spectrum to
the door to speak with me, i told her i would be silent because i didn't
want to wait outside by myself... she was Actually HONEST (thank you
spectrum for not bullshitting me) and said they would likely not be
'right out' and it would be better for me to be on my way.

and i was fine with that, cause i didn't want to spend the rest of my
party hours waiting alone in a hall.

i went down to the 1st floor and ran into none other than  jasehusky
i hugged him, and we went into the headless lounge to catch up, along
with another friend of his he had not seen in a while. i took my jello
shot and told Jase it was nice to see him again after seeing only
the suit at cons, (but not him) he explained what was up with that.
after sitting in his lap (for some strange reason - i guess i just love
the guy) i told him i must be off to drink some more.

so i vaguely recall a party in suite 7003 - so lets gooooo~
i went up in there and met Borny again, and  soraslipheed and some
other furs from Mobile/birmingham Alabama area. Sora had an AWESOME
home-made fursuit where the Face mask was cast from a mold and cut/craved
by hand very detailed, hand painted, and beautiful. it reminded me of
the rubber anime masks (what are those called??). Many many times Tigerpaw
had to tell people to be quiet or there would be people thrown out...
also he eventually left and had other people in charge echoing the same

message.

Some of the prim and Proper late Century gents made it up in to the party
(brine JR. got a picture with George washington - see photo bucket).
Everyone was laughing and having a good time. eventually the party got
a little too repetative for me so i left...

i stopped by my room and refreshed my drink(4LOKO & Capt morgan RUM + monster

energy)
and went downstairs and Ran into  gunmouth and i told him
i wanted art, and drunken-negotiated a RIDICULOUS price !!!
He agreed to draw me~!!! omg its just, i think he's the best in the
fandom, and i NEVER commission anyone because only i can draw me just right
(Weird artist neurosis)... so i was super happy about that.

later that night Ran into old girl (from the reg line)
and we went to the Metro Cafe. as we approached the music was blasting
that song " gimme the beat boys and free my soul, i wanna get lost
in your rock n roll and drift away " so we had a moment, me and her
were singing it together and this black gentleman who happened to also be
on the street was singing it with us too, and he put his hand out to fist
bump me. so i was hesitant but i did. and then he started asking us where
we're from, and i started getting kinda uneasy...
Sure enough he asked if we had any money to spare... i was like nope and
we made a B-line for inside the resturant... that moment was ruined but,
luckily another one was starting.

when we got in and made our way up the neon-blue lit stairway we stopped
to look at the menu and chose our appitizer platter, at that moment Owl City
the Band from the Wreck it ralph soundtrack,(end credits) played
"(its always a) good time"

we were singing and dancing to it. when we got in there was another table
with 4 Furries at it as well, and other people eating. College guys then
proceeded to demolish "Smooth Criminal" on karaoke (3 guys, but his 2 friends

kinda dropped out on him and stopped singing, lol)
then a drunken white chic attempted to sing, you guessed it Sir mix alot's
" i like big butts " - the black people that were eating shook their heads
at that, lol.

we went downstairs in the metro cafe and Danced to " Billie jean"
followed by Maroon 5 "one more night" - a bout 6 other people were
dancing with us. Eventually as we were about to leave this group
of students wanted their picture with us... which was strange, because
we weren't really dressed " furry ", but i did have Brine Jr. with me
during the time. so i set down my drink on one of the tables towards
the exit. while we were doing our antics a homeless man swept in like
a hawk and took my drink from the table one of the students pointed and
said " dude he got your drink " i turned around to see the back of the
guy exit the resturant... i was kinda stunned like WTF... but could i really
do anything ? at that point it was 'whatever' because more than half was
gone and i had plenty back in the room.

so we made our way back to the hotel. we said good night and i went back
to my room to sleep.

SATURDAY~!!!

WELL i woke up again to the hustle n' bustle of the room mates in their
10AM rush to shower and get out the room. well right on cue old dude
was taking an EPIC shower of 2 hours long and didn't get out until 11:00
which i had interrupted at that point - he would have went longer but
i wanted to eat lunch @ Fire of Brazil.
so i got a shower and went to eat lunch there (See photo bucket for
picture of my plate with pineapple and steak cuts/ also me with the Goucho -
thats the server)... i went downstairs and was greeted by a parade
of St. Patricks Day... i was like ok...

Then i saw a group of bagpipe players, and i was reminded of my EX
(he plays bagpipes) and i started crying... i don't know a single person
who cries when bagpipes play (cept maybe at a funeral) but seriously
it was just... *Siiiiiiiigh~* luckily i was there at the resturant and
could duck inside.

it was 11:39am and i was the 1st person there (STRANGE
i know), i could tell because all the serving untensils were clean with
no food debris. also there was no one else in the resturant.
it was just me there and Brine jr. eating, while there only 2 other
people came in to eat... Strange not very busy... but then, a complete
"class" of teenagers came in, i was Vexxed, by that and the constant flow
of people coming in for the sole purpose of using the bathroom.

so eating at a resturant alone while getting over your EX is not a good
idea. i ate as much as i could, even went 2 plates... but i couldn't
help but feel so sad about loosing my man. i left the resturant, and
walked back to the Westin.

so i get back to the hotel room, which in the mean time the sexy couple in

the bed across from me had invited
a guy into the room. well they were like " do you mind ? " i was like
" HELL NO I DON'T MIND~! Get naked, get it get it! " so they were like ok
and they didn't get naked... but i did, and climbed into my own bed alone...

So old dude from the couple got kisses from
both guys at the same time i was like O____O (do want!!)
i was in the other bed, but still, i was aroused, and they were laughing
cus i was peepin' and they said " he's probably beatin' off " and i was
like "Do you see any movement in my sheets ? i'm happy just to watch"

so it was a mixed-emotion-erection for me, because i was excited yet
saddened because i REALLLLLLLY Miss my Ex at this point. so after
the room mate finished, it was an akward moment because the guy who
was invited to the room (didn't have a room yet - on saturday???what????)
was looking at his chubb in his denim pants, and patting it, and the
guy was like " well you don't Want ME to give you head do you~???? "
he nervously chuckled " heh...nah...its ok..."
(i was thinkin like Sheeeeeyit, REALLY!?! i mean fuckin' really? dude was
goin all out on that, even LET him force his head down! caught it with
no prior warning... you know even as a courtesy 'btw its about to' *ka-pock*)

So they let the guy stay in the room to snooze, i felt obligated to stay
i asked him if he wanted to be in the bed with me, i figured he at least
deserved a snuggle after all that hard work, but i guess he rejected my offer
because it was weird that the stranger in the room was asking to bed
with him, versus the 2 strangers that invited him up in the 1st place...
what do i know, maybe they knew each other from other cons.
so i slept in the room, he eventually left, but i did not get up...
i was REALLLLLY missing my exboyfriend
(btw if you're wondering who my EX is... its pretty obvious who my ex is),

i was laying in the bed Txting friends with no response further getting
no reason to get out of bed, and further into missing my man...
i called my room mate back home for some assurance... they could tell i
was crying and told me i was @ FWA to party and have fun (and get over my
ex)... well i dried my tears got into the shower, and headed out into
saturday night with an alcoholic drink in hand.

BRO PARTY~! Saturday night i did wander around, and went to the bro Party.
it was fun and took tons of pictures (most of the pictures of brine jr
were from the bro party.) Ran into a friend i met @ MFF  janu
also drank a lot there... Eventually went to another party and met
GIPPY and KANGAROO PAWS~!!! (two furry friends i met on another furry website)
wow i was elated... later that night went to the metro cafe
and had nachos with  JinxBlueFox who kindly paid for them~!
i told him i would do some art in exchange...

Went back to the hotel and SLEEEEEEPT...

SUNDAY -

this morning i had no time to mourn my EX, i was up and at em early
went to dealers and dropped $50. Checked on my art from GunMouth...
he told me about his con experience and we laughed about that.
and i told him about my EX. he totally understood and was a good listener.
he was finishing up my art as we chatted, suddenly he was like " i smell
curry " (and i did too) i said " it smells delicious " so i asked them where
they got it - o that indian place in the mall food court...

So i asked GunMouth if he wanted to share a plate, he was like "fuck yes"
so i went to get it with the quickness, when i returned he was putting the
finishing touches on my art. we gathered his belongings as Artist alley
closed and made ourway downstairs to EAT our curry. we talked some more.
its nice to know even the AWESOME artists of the fandom are down to earth.

sunday night was party night, i tried to start early on the drinkage.
9pm i was hittin it hard. bounced in and out of parties and the room,
(i did eventually completely kill my Capt morgans,& All my 4 loko's),
around 11pm invited  spix and her husband to my room to look at art
and talk. drank and drank... went to the dance and saw  Cajunkitty there
and gave him a big ol' hug, and told him  Saril said hey, and gave him
a 2nd hug for her (he was in suit, photo with him and brine JR. in

photobucket)... after the dance wound down ran into Taryn (YAY~!) and
we went to the party @ 6618 took a few pics in there (brine JR. again)

Taryn had hurt his ankle, and this dude was being a douche and wouldn't
leave him alone, and i was like "LOOK dude, my friend is hurt, quit thinking
of only your dick ok!? " - so Taryn ended up going to the hospital.
i feel good about defending him against the guy, but slightly guilty that i
bailed (i didn't goto the hospital with him)... to be honest i was really
drunk and wanted to party longer... which wasn't too much longer
because a few hours later it wrapped up and we were wandering through
a near empty hotel. at that point Ran into  cana256 and we were
talking to the mexican ladies who were cleaning the lobby (in spanish)
and that was a lot of fun... eventually we split up and i ran into another
random guy at the hotel who wasn't with the con but was cool none the less
and some other furry...

So we went over to the metro Cafe and i bought us all Nachos, and we
talked and talked. Turned out the guy worked in the movie industry and
was helping with working on " the Anchorman 2 " we talked about a lot
of different stuff, eventually told him about my ex and my situation,
he was cool and understood. Also showed him my car =3
after that we walked around he asked if i wanted to trade facebook info
i was like "nah, maybe not," lol (not to be rude but i don't associate
with many non-furries) we hugged and he left for the elevator and i went
to sleep...


MONDAY~

we had to vacate the room, we all packed up and left... i ended up sticking
around in the lobby and hung out with some really cool peeps...
including  tamarik who was REALLY awesome and helped me carry
some things down from my room.

i put my things in my tiny BMW Z3 which either Shrunk during the con
or my things expanded because my stuff barely fit this time...
then i went to go get some sushi from the food court. Talked with the
Guy from the City Staff, a black guy named Tim, he was Awesome as hell
and even walked me to the mall. we were looking at what was going on and
i pointed out an Angry asian eating an icecream cone which is Strange because
normally you don't see angry asians... and who can be mad while eating
icecream?? its designed to bring you joy~! which Tim was awesome and said
that you never know what anyone has been through that day, and a good guy
can have a bad day...

So i got my Sushi & brought it back to the westin and ate and chatted with
friends, however, no one wanted to share it with me. which was fine, more
for me~

 2gryphon sat down with us before he had to get on the shuttle
and talked with us. he was nice as always and even talked about the
brony drama, and his favorite pony (wait??? he has a favorite??????)...
i told them my theory that the person who wrote the letter is an
ultimate Troll who wanted there to be MORE porn of twilight sparkle
so they did that to intentionally stir up people to draw porn.
or the person could REALLY be that sad... they were talking about
they should write him into the show, as her husband... LOL~!!!

After talking with Lumi and Cana and a few others for a while
it was time to leave.



all in all FWA 2013 was a REALLY good con ! and i cannot wait to go
to 2014 !

See you guys @ MFF... btw if you see my ex tell him he broke my heart
and its sad to see us split up ='3


thanks if you read ALLLLLL of that
and BTW don't forget to look at the Brine Jr. Images on
photobook, they are HILARIOUS!
