Califur a.k.a SAKE con, amazing!
12 years ago
(SAKE explained later in journal, mwuahaha)
Got back from Califur, my second con ever, sooo much fun. Lots of great memories!
Rode down with
goldenbullet666 early friday morning from San Fran and got to the Marriot hotel around 9:30 AM (Roomed with Golden and SeaWolf). Was kinda out of it on friday since I had only slept a tiny bit the night before but it wasn't too bad. Luckily I bought a monster at a gas station so I perked up and managed to stay mostly awake >:) Registration went smoothly even though the line was rather long. Noticed that lot's of people seem to think that cutting in line is something that is perfectly acceptable to do though D:<
Was super happy to see
happyangeltiger there! He's been a huge inspiration to me and I did not know he was gonna be there. Got to finally meet him so already my day was made XD.
Lots of fun things going on friday. Ran into fellow bay area fur's such as
wildchild , 
thatpurplefox and 
inashne117 which was awesome. Super fun time at the friday night dance. I was pretty much the first to actually go in but it was quickly filled up.
Was spinning flowlights and got to meet
simboku who had seen me spinning for a bit. Oh my gosh this guy is so insane at glowstringing its unbelievable! So insane watching both himself and WildChild glowstring, super legit. Yall make me want to start buying ultra's again! ^ ^
Dance was super fun, and I lol'd at how hyped people got when caramelldansen was played, ya crazies!
Saturday was awesome, lots of great stuff going on. The reading of the "Fursona Non Grata" was one of the greatest thing's I've ever witnessed. So many lulz were had, and I can't wait to see this production become a full reality!
Fursuit parade was awesome, although I am sad many did not get to participate due to the parade starting 30 minutes early and ending when it was scheduled to start > . <, it was explained later that there was some miscommunication and fursuiters started arriving at the starting point outside earlier than stated, and fursuiters standing outside in 85 degree humid weather is a bad combination so they were forced to start before any sort of medical issue might have occured.
Got to go out to dinner with a group of fur's to a nearby Japanese market/food court/mostlegitjapanesefoodyouwillfindincalifornia. Hahaha, no joke, that stuff was good, and not generic wannabe japanese food court food. And not to bad of a price either! (And thanks to Purple for not killing me when driving me there btw! ^ ^)
Saturday dance was again super awesome, more spinning with Simboku and WildChild. I love that this fandom has so many who are interested in the flow arts as such, it's a great release and element of expression that I think many people would greatly benefit from taking up. Lot's of fun :) (And btw, there was more caramelldansen that night, what the heck DJ's lol)
Sunday was an interesting day. Last day of a con is always kind of bittersweet, especially for Califur since it ends in the middle of sunday. Closing ceremonies was made officially legit thanks to
raket who started the movement of fursuiters messing with the individuals on stage. Plus the fact that he took a can of silly string to the face, props forever. XD
Big highlight was def hanging out in
rioku's room with J Foxx, Fire Wolf, and some others who I didn't catch the names of as we played an awesome game of Cards Against Humanity, complimented by SAKE (pronounced "sayke" as in for heavens sake, not "sah-kee", people need to get it right...yeah you had to be there.) I swear, that game is so terrible, but such a good way of bringing people together.
Rode back with Golden in the morning, and got ended up running into
tripecollie on the freeway (no not literally haha). We passed him up on the next lane, to which he responded by somehow managing to get his suit head on while driving and passing us up waving to us whilst wearing the suit head while driving. That guy's insane, Lawl. Awesome way to finish up the con experience.
Lots of great memories, made some new friends, had tons of fun, and now have a new con that I can check off of my "attended" list. Hopefully I can attend next year. I hope that they take into consideration the reccomendation of a dance competition that someone recommended during the Q n A on the last day. That is something I would def consider doing in the future.
Random thoughts at random and words: SquidPope, HURRICANE KATRINA, Backwards Never Gonna Give You Up, Barky high pitched fursuit that apparently was not a cat, guy with squeeker all around the con needs to be EXTERMINATED!
Good stuff, look out for my Califur Video coming soon in the next few days most likely!
See some of yall at frolic, or whenever!
*bark!* ^ ^
