FCN was amazing! Con recap
12 years ago
General
Now comes the time where I try to piece together my weekend and recount all the good times. At least, those of which I can remember XD
FIRST: If anyone has pix of me as smiley. LET ME KNOW! POINT ME TO THEM! :D
Pre-gamed for the con wednesday night with
uteki_kiyuu
sibelion
twitchytigs and The Captain (who was a grumpyface all night). Tigs and sibe left thurs morning. Teki, Captain & I headed out to the airport and we started on our way. I'm dumb, I forgot to pack so many things, like my phone charger and a freaking jacket of any sort >.< Luckily we didn't have to stand outside much. Our airplane even had an arctic fox on it! It's like they knew where we were going! It was weird. Was the first time I flew without a family member sitting right next to me, and the three of us were scattered. When we landed, we met up with Ty Fusky. He ended up being a cool guy to randomly meet up with, and end up giving a ride to the con. We planned to rent a car. LUCKILY they were out of cars, and we got an SUV instead. Ty had TWO suits, me and teki each had one as well. No way we'd have fit it all in a compact car!
Got to con space at like 3, and met up with
bigtig and
-ash at taco bell. I realized I hadn't eaten anything all day. Yup, I'm a dumb cat. Got back and met up with
benignfeline and wandered con space with him for a bit. He introduced me to a bunch of people he knew that I forget most of their names XD. I still don't actually know what that jaguar is like sober. He was drunk by the time I got there, and didn't sober up until he was on his way home! Left him, and went to be a derpy big tooth kitty for a bit. Found my way to
nexusfolf to give big dumb teeth kitty hugs, and she drove us to get alcohol! I got back to the con, enjoyed my drink. Shared the wealth. And realized I never ate dinner! I got to watch seƱor jaguar act a fool for a bunch of a bunch of non-furs at the hotel bar. He gave all of them animals, and the one lady kept touching him. He did announce he was a stripper, so it's probably his own fault :p Ended up hanging with
rrowdybeast and Ice Wolf a bit that night, too. I think that's all I did. The night gets fuzzy from there. But I did make it back to the room and passed out on the bed, in the spot
wolfpupTK specifically claimed earlier, since he wasn't back in the room yet. whoops >.>
Friday, teki captain and I went on an adventure. We were thinking about going for the magical Tim Horton's. Everyone says it's so great, but there's none around us. We drove in a random direction, pulled into a random parking lot, and couldn't decide what to eat. It was between TH and Dunkin. We look up TH on the GPS, and apparently we were right there. We saw a wendy's, a pancake shop, bajafresh, I tihnk a subway, but no TH anywhere. Settled on a DD that was like 5 miles out of the way XD. Got back, kitty-derped for a while. Got some pix from Abrahm. Can't wait to see how those came out! Tried to play rock band in suit, but that was a miserable failure. Got con sponsor suite food. Bounced around friends at a very rapid pace. Walked to Meijer's with Djaguar, and picked up some watermelon vodka and strawberry banana juice. Made a decent combo! Saw
imaginaryskye
sozanryker and so many more that go along with them, like sheepdust, yapkat, pianowolfie (are those the FA names?.... >.>) as well as Jake( i'm going through so many names for one silly little jaguar... PICK ONE ALREADY!), fen, ice, and met woodymutt, and there was another ice, icefox. Silly ice canids. .. I think there were more. I'm terrible at names.
peppercoyote gave me some pepper(mint)shots. SURPRISE i realized I forgot to eat dinner again. (Notice a running pattern?) I ended up hanging out with bigtig and ash again in some random room. We played a bit of cards against humanity. Followed back to bigtig and ash's room. All I remember is I laid down on their pullout couch bed to rest, and then suddenly it was 7am. I was half off if it, and my back hurt for a few hours into saturday from sleeping at such a terrible angle XD
Saturday, finally got to really meet
lyonlover. Saw him on friday, but only briefly. Another cool guy. He was wearing a YCH "suit" which was really awesome. I ... may have gotten a picture with it that will be uploaded eventually XD. I spent most of the day bouncing around with all of the previously mentioned people, and even more. My tail became the center of attention, regardless of if I was wearing the rest of the suit or not XD. Fen and woody couldn't leave it alone. I actually remember and forced myself to eat dinner! And then I went and got drunk anyway. Went to the dance comp WHICH WAS AMAZING. You guys really rocked it! Ran into a fur from the area I grew up in (which is the middle of nowhere XD). Ended up at the rave, watching over Fen to make sure he didn't overheat, and ended up in like a half hour long spinning hug with woodymutt. Nice tight hugs were fun, but at level of alcohol, spinning got a bit woozy XD
Sunday was a day of pretending to recover. Putz'd around the lobby for a few hours while waiting to leave. I had a great con, but that much lack of sleep and drinking had me ready to just go home. Hung out with a bunch of people. Gave so many hugs goodbye. Wished Kiwa a happy birthday XD Finally picked up my
chibi-marrow badge. Ordered it for at con pickup, but couldn't find her until a half hour before I left the con. Art is amazing on it! Just wish I'd gotten it friday instead of sunday :x
Other random thoughts:
Fen stealing my smiley badge and wearing it on his crotch all weekend
watching Pepper ruin all the lyrics to his songs at the concert, while shia sat there straight faced playing the bass
BERZERKER BARRAGE
I got to hug spazz! He smelled like maple syrup
I didn't pick up much swag. I never really seem to. Just a few stickers and another marymouse poster, and some certified tags.
Thanks to ice wolf for holding onto the one tag I dropped and had no idea.
I met so many amazing people, and want to hang out with all of you again! If any of you are ever in the philly area, let me know! I have couch space! My roommate will just have to deal with meeting more new awesome people XD
