Fur the 'More
12 years ago
Holy smokes this con was awesome.
The atmosphere was great, I loved the 50s diner-esque room that was the Zoo, I spotted so many neat nooks and crannies people could be hanging out as the con grows (and it will, judging by how many people I heard saying it was awesome!), and the hotel only has three floors. Three. Not seventy three (*cough* FWA *cough*), three. Heading back up to your room after eating out? Two flights of stairs to go up, tops. Need to de-suit and take a shower? The elevator will be there in a jiffy, since 1/3rd of the attendees will never use one, what with their rooms being on the ground floor and all. I cannot overstate how wonderful it is to have a hotel that is wide instead of tall, and Fur the 'More joins the ranks of cons like RainFurrest and ConFuzzled (two of my favorite cons, btw) with their short, wide hotels.
Add in the fact that staff was wearing ears and tails (their idea!), and that the vice chair is now a hotel employee, and I think we've got a con-hotel relationship here that's on its way to FC-Doubletree or EF-Ringberg levels. Good relationships mean cons that are allowed to do more things. :D
Seeing a bunch of the TFS/Furbowl peeps was also a treat, because even though I get to see them on a monthly basis, it's nice to get more than four hours of it at once! I also got to see
sandalwood and 
seikoesquepayne again, which I loved. Them not being able to make it up to Furbowls that often and me not having a car means that we don't get to see each other nearly as often as I'd like. Waking up to 
yappyfox bouncing at the foot of my bed was also a new experience (nice to meet you, by the way, Yappy!). :p
Being less than a three hour drive away was just icing on the cake. Definitely going to be hitting this one up over and over again!

It was at least two and a quarter! Think you'll do that sign language panel again?

That one was successful. The totem one not so much, but it may have been timing. The only ones I could get to come to ~that one~ were like mah best fraaans.
