Fur the More: Post-con report!
12 years ago
I'm typing this on my iPhone, so bare with me.
I must say, Fur the More was an awesome time. For a first year convention, I was impressed with what the staff put together. There was a lot of different spaces- nothing felt too crammed together.
I arrived to Baltimore on Thursday, and spent the night with the lovely
Ariella and 
neurotichyena. Ticky and I spent a good chunk of the night working on stuff for the con. She was nice enough to help me make a theme badge for the convention (I have a habit of doing that the eve of a con, haha).
We left on Friday afternoon, and although we left later than originally planned, we still got there around 3:30 PM. I pretty much dashed inside to find
miltoniusprime since he had been waiting for us to check in so that he could finish getting situated. I was pretty much freaking out about my panel by this point. It was my first one ever, and I was so nervous!
The panel went... okayish? I made due with having a setup that I didn't anticipate for. I see where I could do better in the future. I had asked my friend Reaver to grab me a Shocktop from the free kegs since my panel was right at 7. And then, when I hadn't even finished my first beer, in walks
techwolf with a Yuengling for me! I don't know who told him to bring it for me, but thank you!
After the panel, I hung out with Milt for the rest of the night. I don't think we ended up turning in until about 3 AM or so. Slightly early for both of us given our respective schedules but we were worn out.
Ari and Ticky got up kind of early on Saturday because of Ticky's panel. Milt managed to get down to the con space before me. I realized when I got downstairs that I missed getting into the poker tourney! So bummed!
I had ended up at the bar earlier in the day, thinking back on it, talking with Kitt3ns while he was there. Ran into Jasper before that. I pretty much wandered between the game room and merchants room for a while before my impromptu workshop that Sparf was kind enough to add last minute. We moved it to the zoo so that we had tables. Very laid back atmosphere. After that, it was to the bar with Ticky and Ari! I hadn't hung out with the girls much outside of the room so back to the bar I went! After awesome drinks, it was back to the game room for more chill time! I ended up laying underneath a table with my ORIGINAL Nintendo DS, playing Final Fantasy III and watching Milt play Rock Band.
Reaver came to join me for a bit under the table, with drinks (Tablecon!). I eventually sent Reaver back up after an hour and a half of so. I eventually had to take him on the elevator and kick him out of it to get him to stay upstairs (<3 you, mutt!).
I stayed to hang out with Milt again until about 5 AM this time? I went to bed before him so I can't quite remember when I dozed off upstairs.
Sunday was checking out and going to the Charity Auction. I bid against Ari on some cyberlox and tails, which made her scream out "BITCH" in the most comically cute way! She felt bad after but I was laughing about it. I let her win the lot. Ticky, Ari and I left around the middle of the feedback panel since she was beat and we had to drop their friend Archadia home. Milt nabbed me from Ticky and Ari's a few hours later, as he was gracious to host me for a night so that I could travel home Monday. Sunday night was full of youtube vids, watching him play some cool (and in one case, extremely crazy and hilarious) games, and me loving up on his black cat. Because I love black cats.
Anyways, very laid back times until he dropped me off at the Greyhound station on Monday. It took me about 3.5 hours to get from Baltimore to my parents so that I could catch up on sleep for work on Tuesday AM.
Overall, a very enjoyable weekend. Thank you to Milt, Ticky, and Ari for being amazing. Thanks also to those who came to my panels. There were a few of you who said that the info I gave was helpful. I feel relieved and glad that I could provide some new tools and ideas to you. Also, thank you to the wonderful staff, merchants, and everyone else I interacted with at
furthemore for relaxed conversation and being helpful.
I would name drop more, but I have to clock in soon, and typing this on my iPhone is taxing. I'll probably update this later.
Everyone was fun! Location was sweet. Wegman's is an amazing store and I wish that there was one in Delaware. I can't wait until next year. I'll probably be hanging out in Maryland more before the convention next year. Hope to get to see a bunch of ya'll more!
