Home from AC and my thoughts on my first fursuiting!
12 years ago
General
Just arrived home if only for a short while, we are off again tomorrow.
AC was a blast and my most exciting ever, my first attempt at fursuiting. I met a lot of new people and they were all great! I hope to find some of them here on FA.
spottacus is a blast and is soooooo mrrrrr, I really hope I can see him again!
Louiefurrywolfy did an E. Aster Bunnymund that rocked the house!
Lots and lots of great furries and awesome suits.
Saturday was a Mathhew Ebel concert so I stopped in to listen and who was there?
Runtt, playing the drums! Good to see him, we caught up a bit. Met 
ReccaWolf and lots of new people.
The sad thing is how many furs *weren't* there this year:
flatrat, 
roochak, Mejeep, 
silvermane, 
RondoGator and almost all the people on my watch list
I put up 3 pictures with hopefully more to come.
Wow, fursuiting is tiring. Well, it's tiring when you have to stay in the suit for 6 continuous hours; for the formal suit, once I'm in, I'm in - I can't get out of the shirt without help (French cuffs) and the tailoring on the jacket turned out so exact (factored without the mask, for daily wear). So on Saturday I was locked in the suit for 6 hours straight.
Probably lost 3 pounds of water weight
I have 2 outfits I wear, casual and formal. Casual is a kilt and shirt with knee boots, formal is the custom long coat with slacks. I have also worn full latex, which means I was covered with rubber from head to toe INCLUDING my head!
I wonder if I can have legs, with matching sandal dress shoes, made up o.O I was *this* close to doing full dress with the coat and a kilt but then I realized that the full length coat completely covers a kilt, so it really doesn't work well together.
The casual outfit is warm while the formal is just short of hot; I'm in layers with a fully lined coat. Luckily years of motorcycle riding has made me used to full encasement. There is something to be said about a mascot suit where the head pulls off instantly. On my mask even the nose piercing is real - I bought an oversized barbell that passes though my nose as well as the mask! My nose was a bit sore by Sunday night.
We'll be trying for MFF and / or FC this year! Can't wait!

Well, whatever you guys decide, hope it all works out.
I was told by Regi that for MFF you guys had roomspace or something? I wanted to try aiming for that.
Why you hidin? I dont bite!...hard :D
Much sadness ensued.
We do need to talk about what you may want to do in upcoming AC years - I don't think that the Dealer's Room is good for you any more, this year was mostly trinkets with almost all of the artists in the alley. I think the idea of artists in the Dealer's Room is somewhat passe.
I haven't been to an AC since 2005...and as of late being a responsible adult these last few years I haven't been able to reasonably afford going to more than one convention as much as I would love to go to another one.
How have you been lately? :hugs:
