Walk like a dog across penn ave.

AC was a lot of fun!!! There were SOOOO many people and each year i know more people so it was hard to hang out with everyone. There was one point where i couldn't walk like, 20 feet without someone coming up to me and saying hi! It was crazy!
I had a budget at this con and I managed to come in way under it. Unfortunately the only thing I purchased was the RuffTrade comic book (which I make a cameo in Via
hottapwater I also couldn't eat the whole con, which happens to me a lot at cons but this time was definitely the worst. I think I spent like, 45 dollars on food the entire time. (I couldn't eat the whole con, it was too many people. )
SOME THINGS:
1. Dressed as a flasher with a trench coat during the parade. I wasn't sure how this would go over, or if people would know what I was doing, but the reactions were pretty great. Most people I flashed screamed in horror!
2. Playing with LOOK LEFT, a lot of people showed up despite it being Sunday morning. I was sort of apprehensive about playing in a band since my previous 10 year band just had a really dramatic break-up which I'm still disgruntled over, not to mention I am sick of playing in bands in general. But playing with Look Left was a completely different experience. I've never been in a band before where all the musicians are EXTREMELY good at what they do and super into being in a band! On top of that, we had a minimal amount of equipment as opposed to my previous band that had 6 members. And people actually liked us, like there were people in the audience? And I got money? What the....??? *brain explodes* I fucked up on some songs, but it was still fun.
3. Me and Pepper tried out for the masquerade with an accordion/singing duo. We didn't make it in. I know, I KNOW. I know. No, believe me, I know. They told us that the accordion and the vocals sounded really bad on the sound system. Whatever, it's all good, I just walked around and entertained people with the accordion. And didn't get told to stop by the con chair (cough *fcn* cough)
4. Participated in Duke's Video, showed a bunch of people the dance moves. I don't know how I even learned them, but I did! That was a lot of fun. Can't wait to see the result, Revit's videos are always amazing.
5. Walked around in my doctor outfit with Tilt in his Microwave head ! Got some great reactions! If you don't know why we did this, it's from this video: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xz.....n#.Ud2VNPnF2d4
6. I Didn't do the dance comp, instead I just watched it this time! Way less stress to just watch! I also watched the floor wars this year for the first time, WOW. Super inspiring! So many styles of dance coming together! Such disregard for everyone's own safety! Maybe I'll do it next year.
7. I did Karaoke In Fursuit with
peppercoyote , which is something I've been wanting to do for a while. I did it at Furfright last year, but this time it was in front of a HUGE Amount of nonfurs at a bar down the street which i forget the name of. I picked "Africa" by Toto, which is a song I know all the words to already so i didn't really have to look at the screen. As soon as the song came up people went nuts, it was really fun but I'm not sure how people reacted towards my terrible voice. I think they were confused. Also following pepper wasn't the best idea, they probably expected all fursuiters to be able to sing well.
Next year I'll probably do the dance comp again and hopefully do karaoke, we'll see!
Thanks for being awesome, you guys.

FA+

he hasn't replied since the con
I'll text you his number though!
Glad I got to run into you before the con was over. This AC seemed crazier than my last few.
meeting with you at conventions
Glad to hear you had a good time! How awesome.
The not-being-able-to-eat thing sounds pretty rough, though! Have you ever looked into drinking meal supplement shakes? Some of them are gross, but you can find yummy ones too. Though I'm not sure if that would still count as eating for you!
I've got a really weird stomach, I used to drink those meal supplement shakes all the time throughout middle school and high school, I can't eat for a few hours after getting up. Sometimes i would throw those up.
Me and tilt only did the microwave thing for like, 30 minutes on sunday night. There's no ventilation in that thing, he was dying.
Tilt premiered his "the detention club" movie sunday morning, I was only in it briefly as a Greifer stunt double.
and you saw my half purple bottom :3
I can't eat in crowds either....or in restaurants....long story...has something to do once concerning a sheep and a pair of mukluks...call me later if you're curious.

I was hoping to find you guys drawing again like last year, But I didn't! I'm at my tallest right now, maybe I had more hair.
