The greatest of little cons ~ BLFC Recap
12 years ago
Wow. So, I mean, like WOW.
Not very often have I found myself so pumped up for a con, then in turn have a con end with me feeling PCD, before leaving the hotel...in fact I would say that BLFC did such an amazing job for being a first time con, I was left in a state of bliss all weekend long, right until I woke up Monday morning and realized that I did not want to go home just yet. Having to be a dealer in the den, was a great experience for me which in turn limited some other things. I am so used to running around aimlessly all con long, but this time I got to sit down, really interact with people on a out-of-suit level. This itself was pretty awesome. So many people left our table happy and gleeful with a new tail, art, one of our collars or many of the other items we had.
Though I can not for the life of me now try to give you a day to day run down, much less keep my attention span going on this journal that long, I can give some epic highlights.
~ Drinking anywhere in the hotel space. JESUS FUCK YES OMG I LOVE THE Grand Sierra Resort!!!
~ Drinking with Kitty Loves Monster peeps and giving them jello shots <33
~ Jello Shots. Lots and lots of jello shots. Actually came home with 7 out of 10 dozen!
~ Dancing a lil Saturday and Sunday night. Only times I got to suit >.< But was fun regardless (especially Sunday night!!)
~ Making sure the Dance Comp happened. Myself and thayrustback were running it. Aside from a little late start and some minor hiccups with audio, it was AWESOME. We both plan to run it next year!! So be watching for info on that!
~ Gambling was fun..mostly because 5$ on the bar touch screen gambling thingies, got me 4 Long Island Ice Tea's!! :D
~ Waking up Sunday from a drinking spree. 330pm to 3am of nearly constant shots, jello shots, mixed drinks and fun!
~ Having the worst battery life ever. Dealers Den had the worst signal of all other spots I was at. >.<
~ROOM KEY!! ROOM KEY!? ROOM KEY!!!!!!!!!!?????!!??!?!?!?!?!?!!
~ The sub shop place, Port of Subs, jew'd me on a sandwich. Gave me bbq pork on just ONE side. *tableflip* Oh yea, the 45minute line for it too, yea that was fun. *eyerolls*
~ The Con Staff taking food orders for the dealers!!! OMG I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THIS!!
~ The Con Staff THEN TAKING ORDER FOR A SUPPLY RUN!! This was a huge life saver as well!! Thank you SOOOO MUCH!
~ The staff all around being totally awesome and helpful. They were friendly, on the ball, and when me and Thay were doing the dance comp setup, everyone was more then willing to do whatever we needed to get it going properly! Smash, if I recall the name right, was the lead audio guy, who without him & his helpers, we would have never had that Comp :D You guys were all so awesome!
~ The plentiful elevators and never having to wait more then like 10 seconds for them!
~ FRIENDS!!! BLFC was yet another PERFECT example of how friends, really make a convention. I would link them all, but holy hell. My linking fingers would break. Haku, Howee, Doryuu, Apollo, Palmer Husky, Rai, Kinen, Sky, all the KLM crew, SHAVII AND MOMO!!!, Midnite & Mystic, Tusoul & Kitty, several new friends we met and hung out with while I was drunk (Thay knows your names, I AM CLUELESS RIGHT NOW XD ), AMWUFFY!!, finally meeting TK!, Charm and his rainbowness, and many others!! Thank you all so much for making this con nearly my favorite one EVER! (the #1 is still MFF... but damn its a close tie in my opinion!)
Thats all I can think of right now. I have so many little blips and bloops of memories I want to ramble on and gush about, but I assure you, those who were nay-sayers about BLFC, ate their BS when we set the record for 1st time con registered attendee's! Over 700!!! From the staff being on the ball with helping, handling issues, taking care of both Dealers, to artists alley peeps, to just...ugh.. EVERYTHING. Not only were they VERY prepared but Tyco was on the ball making sure things got handled properly.
I am now suffering from an emotional conflagration inside of me, the happiness, joy, having to say goodbyes and such, just.. seriously PCD as FUCK right now.
Thank you is all I can say. Staff, Tyco and Shiuk, my friends, my new friends made, our customers, the lady who bought a tail from us just so she could wear it to walk her dogs, to the hotel staff who were mostly cool, and of course, my lovely mate thayrustback,

From the bottom of my heart to the top of my energy peak in suit, thank you all so much for an overwhelmingly epic weekend!
I'm so glad to have spent a real con trip with you guys, even more so when we got to hang out or be derps! Try not to let PCD get the best of ya, we all gotta stay strong! *heroic pose*
