Michigan and Anthrocon

General
[left]What a crazy (expensive) two weeks. It didn't start well that's for damn sure.
(WARNING: This first paragraph is about Michigan, it was crap. The only good that came from it was picking up my JAGDFOX license plate and visiting my Family and a friend. It's really just a bunch of TL;DR complaining. I recomend skipping it.)
Not two miles from home I wasn't paying attention as I was setting my GPS and a cop got me for speeding; jerk refused to give me a warning. After a ever so eventful (no) 15 hour drive I finally arrive at my bro's place in Michigan at 1 in the morning. Checked out his nice new place then had to pull all my crap out of storage, good news is, the only Uhaul available in a 100 mile radius is a giant (and expensive) 26 foot truck. I drive two hours to the storage unit and pull everything out, by myself, in the rain, balls. I tossed a lot of the junk into dumpsters on the way back to my brother's. I arrive back again at 1am, park the truck, shower and pass out so I can start unloading in the morning. While I'm pulling everything out of the truck and sorting it into my bro's garage I get a call from the sheriff of the town up by my storage. At least the guy was polite and informed me that the owner of the car wash was complaining that he didn't want to have to dump the dumpster early and must have found a stray paper with my name in one of the boxes. So I finished unloading the uhaul, cleaned it out, returned it, then took my brother's pickup to the dumpster and pulled the old shelving pieces out. That night after unloading everything into the fire pit and starting a giant bonfire I finally got a chance to relax. I stayed up till 3am just watching the fire and tossing more wooden junk into it. Woke up late the next day, went for a run (saw some friendly horses that let me pet them) then went to visit some more family and hung out with my friend
. The next day I went for a run and must have took a wrong turn because the run ended up lasting almost 2 hours and turned out to be over 9 miles; sore legs... That night I took off from Michigan for Pittsburgh...
I arrive in Pittsburgh around 1am and meet up with Kohaku in the parking garage (commence parking garage con). We do some tailgating at the garage and wander around the city at night desperately looking for food. Oh thank heaven (and Raptor Jesus) we were saved by Seven Eleven. We hung out till the sun came up and I decided to try and check in early. Not only did they let me check in early, but they let me swap my single king room for a double queen (bong!). That first day was just a waffle around and wait for everyone to trickle in. My room posse consisted of
,
,
and
.
I honestly don't even remember some of the nights. We were shmamered as soon as the sun went down. I ran into a lot of familiar faces; a lot of the NC furs and a few other friends. Our usual gang consisted of myself,
,
, and
who we met at the Military Furs breakfast and turned out to be a really good guy. You could find us anywhere as long as you could hear the BIRD! x3
The last night
loaned me Contour Coyote so I could get some fursuiting in, it really helped me know what it'll feel like when I finally get one of my own and for that I thank him. Lastly, right as I was leaving for home I ran into
who spotted my car and chatted me up, I didn't get a chance to talk with him much because the hotel dude was shooing me away. I really can't even go into detail about everything because so much happened and I don't want to write a novel here. All I can say is good times were had, and new furiends were made.
A shout to some of the furs I ran into. (I'm really trying to remember here =^^= )
FA won't let me ad anymore icons. ;.;
kialskunk, Roxxy, Mikey, Honey, Yamori, Redd, Cassy, Renegade, Crysm, Cybershepherd, Flyingfire, Janu, Jesse Toast, Buddhabunny, Marbles, Wolfemasters, Taikushikami, Yifferfox, Shakraah.
Lastly, bird. That is all.

FA+

you still need to get online more often *wags finger at*
Also, funny you were in Michigan before. That's where I've been holed up for the summer!
Yep. All my crazy family lives there. I'm visit once a year. Twice if I'm deploying or something.
