My day at Furthemore

My good friend
Drakien drove me out to Fur-the-more today to give him some moral support for his panel on volunteering and to also see what this con was all about. I had to work both Friday and Saturday, so I wasn't able to attend those days. We get to the hotel and it seemed pretty dead..granted 9am on a Sunday at a con is usually a ghost town :-P He had some good attendance at the panel, and I was in Kellogg being all cute and fuzzy. I think he did a great job. Afterwards, we walked around. That hotel seems to go on forever. It was a little dated in its decor, but overall I was actually impressed with the fact it had some eating places within the hotel itself, plus was near some nice restaurants and shopping within walking distance. As the day weng on, more and more people were walking around. I actually got to see some good friends, some of which I hadn't seen in some time, and other cool peeps I met for the first time. From 10am until 1pm I was in Kellogg, after that a group of us went to lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, that place was nummy :-3 We got back to the hotel and we mingled some more until Drakien and I headed back home at 6pm.
Overall, even though it was short, I had a good time and wish I would have been able to go earlier. The amount of people for a first time was quite amazing to me, and since I like smaller cons anyways, this definitely had a nice close-knit feel I like.
I give this con 4 out of 5 paws :-P
