xnufniwejkfmnrhgrwxelkg,lanjnld BEST CON EVER!
((If you remember anything I did and on which day, please let me know! I had so much fun that I don't remember most of it x.x))[[Oh and any pictures I find of Mylo will be posted on his Tumblr. I'll have links back to the originals on there: http://mylochihuahua.tumblr.com/ ]]
<<OMFG look at all the watches. O.o''' like...wow... I'm honored. <.<' >.>' >>
Thursday -
Woke up at 5 am, showered, packed up the truck, loaded the dog trio into the truck and held Jagdwolf's posters for his books. Off we go! We stopped to drop the dogs off at a boarder (idk how to spell that O.o) and started our 13hour drive from Bozeman, Montana to Reno, Nevada.
Talked about everything and anything whilst on the road. Driving the whole day was a good idea since we had previously had night drives that sucked so much and gave us no content to talk about (you can only talk about how dark it is for so long.) Got to the hotel at... wow I don't remember...but it was night time : D After a few basic gtf-ins I went down to dance a bit for the first dance. Nothing fancy, just Mylo in street clothes since it takes FOREVER to put on his fancy smanchy clothes.
also
MYLO IS A BOY. I'm just a girl...inside of him... *cough*
Friday -
Woke up early with Jagdwolf and we headed down to the nommy nommy buffet. Sadly the coffee was soooo dark that it was burnt x.x so that was kinda yucky. Otherwise, delish food and great service. Then down to Registration, we had Pre-regged so it was simple and quick perfect for me to run upstairs and get Mylo suited up to be all fancy schmancy all con.
Uhhh I think I was the first to wear the big blue inflatable thingy and let people try to knock Mylo over in it. It was a lot of fun though a dizzying experience. I met the floor many times (well done!). Said hi to all the dealers (atleast 3 times), cheered on gamers in the gaming room and tried to get people to hand over their precious tails to a sobbing puppeh. (Bwahahaha I'm so evil)
Opening ceremonies wasn't all too special. Basically just chatting about the rules, making note of discounts and other things. Mylo was a good boy and sat quietly for this. Then break time before running off to see Yuuryuu's First Con panel. It was what you usually see at this kind of panel, amusing yet informative. Especially with a loud mouth corgi willing to be used and abused for SCIENCE! err I mean an informative panel *nods*
Break time again, possible lunch too (I forgetz) then back to harass the dealers and everyone else at the con (BECAUSE I CAN!!!) Popped in to panels randomly, but mostly spent my time wandering around the con for fun things to do, bugging dealers and taking A LOT of short breaks.
The swing dance and solo charleston dance lessons were great and I've been integrating those steps when I dance to anything since they're a great way to keep my tail moving on the dance floor. Sadly I didn't dance much that night. I had hurt my ankle (AGAIN) at some point during the con. Um, I had hurt it about a week or two before the con but the tendons hadn't fully healed so one moment I'd be fine and then suddenly I can't walk on it anymore D: After short breaks I could walk normally but for friday, I only dance for a few minutes then gave up and went to bed.
OH! I also got my new tail from Pawsitively Furry (The Evauk & Thay Duo) they did a wonderful job making me another chihuahua tail for Mylo! exhufjiohdmufhsi ADORABLE as heck <3
Saturday -
Fursuit games!!!!!
Got to (attempt) to play duck, duck goose after watching other fuzzy things play musical chairs. So many games so little time. Also played dodge ball with a big yarn ball that kept unraveling and getting hooked on claws and badges (oh dear). Lasted for a bit in dodge ball since I avoided throwing the ball and just dodged everything instead. I was finally eliminated when I had to throw the ball and someone caught it. (SADNESS)
Took breaks in between games and after the games then off to ruin around like...well a Chihuahua <3
Stole, played with and bopped balloons while doing my rounds around the con floor. Plus lots of breaks, food, you know...all the usuals. lots of wandering around, squeaking, posing for cameras and surprising non-attendee onlookers was had up until the fursuit parade. A wopping 100 fursuiters participated as we paraded down the hotel's halls and posed for all the cameras. It was a HUUUUUGE parade line. Biggest I've ever seen before o.o'
Up next was FurMedia's panel inviting Military Furs to talk about their experiences with combining the furry fandom and the military.
more breaks, foods, water & Mylo getting doodles done in the back of his con book. <3 <3 <3
DANCIE DANCE TIME!
OMG Dance for most of the time. only stopping to go to bed around midnight so I'd be able to wake up the next morning. Bouncing, spinning, flowing, salsa dancing, solo charlestoning until bedtime <3
FYI
FurThe Record kept that dance going until there was no one left to dance. (6am) The dance until dawn <3
Sunday -
Oh gawd. soooo tired. I was actually very exhausted, making up for quietness by rocking my head back and forth (a move I totally stole from FayV ) and looking cute. After eating I had more energy but overall I was considerably slower on this day.
Participated in the nerf gun war, NEVER getting shot whilst on the filed (proud). Didn't stay the whole time because I hadn't taken any short breaks and needed to cool down for a good while and chug chocolate milk. Decided to stay out of suit and go visit the shooting in suit panel to get tips on what to do and not do when shooting in suit.
Next up was the dance competition. OMG these guys, you put my dancing tail to shame. If you haven't seen the videos yet, you HAVE to. It was AMAZING. I'm hoping to try dancing at RMFC if I can manage to choreograph something by then x.x
My next long break and meal was followed by Bucker making up songs on the spot for the audience whilst playing piana. A lot of fun and very amusing. I was also his mike stand for a bit, trying OH SO HARD to hide my stage fright whilst assisting on stage.
Closing ceremony announced that BLFC had broken the First Con Attendance Record and even earned waaay more money than expected. All extra funds would be going to this year's charity. This was followed by a 3.5 hour long feedback panel, the panel was kept going as long as someone had something they wanted to say. Lots of good tips and info on why the con was rather rushed was given.
FINALLY the NOT SO DEAD, Dead Dog Dance. This dance started at 8:00pm Sunday and ended around 11:30pm. An amazing amount of people were here for this and kept the dancefloor busy at all times. Got to see Evauk and Thay in suit finally and goof off in the fursuit lounge.
And that was my BLFC 2013 experience :3

* Keep your fursuit's mouth open all the time
* Running with your paws out in front of you pushes air through them

* Stretch before and after fursuiting (as well as before & after bed)
* Take long breaks after dancing, running, fursuit games and/or fursuit parades
