Anthrocon Wrap-Up and Life
12 years ago
General
Hey everyone!!! OMG I cannot believe it is already a week later since Anthrocon has come and gone! I miss it already!!! I had so much fun, and got to meet a lot of friends, and make new ones!
Anthrocon provided me the wondrous opportunity to meet my mate
, and it was truly an experience I will never forget! It was the best experience of my life getting the chance to meet him!! I look forward to the day I can spend the rest of my life with him.
I also got to meet my pack mate and amazing friend (and Wolfy/Dusk's friend),
! Both of them are such sweeties, and I will defend them until the day I die. I care and love them that much!! So anyone who tries to mess with them, will have to get through this woof's fangs!!
I literally cried the day they left. My mate
and
picked up
and all 3 came to my place on Wednesday night. Bai was gonna room with somebody else, but due to certain circumstances we offered her to room with us and
. Since her flight was Wed., my mate and his friend was kind enough to pick her up from the airport!
That night, my mate gave me a promise ring, along with his class ring, one of his favorite stuffed animals, a wolf blanket that is now spread across my bed (I should post pics of it all, it is all so... omg.... he is truly amazing. And I am honored to have a man like him in my life!), as well as a wolf dream-catcher, one of his family heirlooms which is a wolf knife, and two other necklaces: a wolf moon necklace with stars and this gorgeous pendant. I wear the wolf necklace and his ring on a chain like 24-7 when I am not showering. But when I am awake or asleep, I have it on.
It was also great getting the chance to meet Bai and see her in her suit (the poor girl had so many problems with her suit - feet fell apart, suit ripped underneath, and there was a small hole in her armpit).
It was also my first real con fursuiting in my fullsuit. My suit itself held up VERY well!! The feet were extremely comfortable! And the mask, though now a bit dirty, lasted me the whole con. None of the whiskers or anything fell off! I meant to ask / get
to assist me with fixing the nose to get holes in the silicone nose, but we sadly just did not get the time to fix it.
My mate did have one problem with his mask from
with the 'plastic' covering the eyes. It quickly fogged up. We went to get
of
to fix it for him and also install a fan, and upon removing it we realized it was actually CLEAR TAPE and not plastic! Mono/Flurry just gave it this bewildered look as to why a fursuit maker would use such materials on a fursuit. She, like us thought it was plastic, but it turns out she was able to peel it right off after carefully cutting the parts that were glued.
So after getting his mask fixed, he was able to breathe and see through it more easily!
We also got to meet
and
, and they even came up and we all ordered pizza one night! We originally met them in their room with
sharpe19 and
pizzawolf when we went to pick up the suit for Bai, and both of them are true sweethearts! I love all of them to pieces, and I do hope to get the chance to hang with all of them IRL soon!
I also got to dance in the Floor Wars dance competition held by
last-fur-one!! I got to dance against
smilingsammi as Aoi!! I did ok the first song but was exhausted by the second, so he won the round against me! It was still an honor getting to dance against him!
Me and Bai and Syco Skunk who wore WolfyCorpse/Dusk's suit for a few hours all got to be in the fursuit parade, and it was so much fun! Though I did start to overheat and almost threw my head off during the parade (my ears were pounding and ringing and I felt like I was about to pass out), but I managed to make it to the very end!!! Bai stated that she also almost passed out. It was 25-30 mins long after all. But thank goodness the time flew by! My problem was trying to be too active in fullsuit during the parade, which caused me to overheat quicker. I should have paced myself but I didn't. I even got pet and called "PUPPEH" by
2gryphon!!
2 the Ranting Gryphon was also staying in the room just down the hall from us at the double tree, so we had the chance to talk to him and ran into him a few times!! He seems like a cool and funny guy in person as he is on stage!
Aside from some minor drama (somebody was going around to random people who I didn't even know and defaming my name :/ We ran into a few of them later when they confronted me and/or my mate to ask us about the rumors they spread about me after realizing who we were), we managed to have an awesome time at the con!!
~snow~ OUT!!!

The clear stuff over the eyes of the mask you got of Dusk was tape? I am a little worried now about that I thought it was a clear vinyl or something.
Gosh, not sure how I am gonna bring that up to make sure the same mistake of that happens on my head.
I would just recommend not using plastic over the mesh, and just have it as the mesh. It also allows for better air flow to the face to cool off the mask. :3
though there may be an impromptu appearance of one Mr.Ted-K at MFF.
I cannot confirm or deny his ability to appear.
