ConnectiCon 2013! Stuffs that happened!
12 years ago
Hey guys! As a lot of you may or may not know is that I recently went to ConnectiCon 2013!~ This is my third con ever and my first time attending THIS con for all three days.
I just wanna bring up some of my highlights of the convention and share with you my awesome moments with my amazing room mates.
Let's just start off with Friday night when we got to the con. I can't say that I felt the same excitement that I had when I first went to my first con back in 2012, which also happened to be CTCon, but I was still eager to get going and do things. So we started off by heading off to the con to fetch our badges and meet up with our room mates before checking in at the hotel. So we check in at the hotel and are waiting for
bellapomfloof646 with literally nothing to do other than inspect the hotel room. So I made a few vine videos showing the flaws of our hotel room, with the TV and light not working, some strange goo on the tv, to holes on the covers of the bed and red stuff on the flooring. MY favorite bit while waiting for Miss. Ponfloof was when
Ludovicus went under the covers and started screaming, "I'M NOT A FUCKING MATTRESS!" That was pretty hilarious.
So she finally shows up and we all went on our way to the con. I sported my derpy fursuit and wore a HORRIBLY made "Free hugs <3 =3" sign in hopes to get A LOT of hugs in this monstrosity of a suit. To a shock, I did get quite a few hugs. I expected to be shot and put out of my misery. Sadly, this will be the last time that suit is worn due to the fact it got more damaged during this con. We wandered around a lot to get a feel out for the con, I switched out of my durr suit and put on my professionally made rat suit just in time to be thrown out of the game room cause it was closed. Just gonna say, some staff were a little rude this year when trying to get their point across.
So after losing people and regaining people, WE ALL get back to the hotel to have a wonderful time. We all decided we were hungry and attempted to order pizza from every place saying they were open till 3 AM, but no one would pick up. So, Fumu BattleSTARGALACTICAship cracked out some pretty strong alcohol that was really good, but me not really in the mood getting drunk, I kinda just paced my first cup. At this point, everyone decided that someone should drive and get pizza. So, myself, Ludo, and
Darkwolf611 headed off to get pizza while everyone else stayed behind and drank more.
So in our adventure of getting pizza, we noticed a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut drive thru and we decided to ditch our plan for pizza for Taco Bell instead. As we pull up, the two ONLY employees I believe are outside potentially smoking a joint together. Ignoring this, we decide to press on and continue to order our food. While ordering the food, the guy taking our order is MUMBLING so much and informing us that half the stuff we are ordering doesn't exist or they do not have the stuff to make it. So we end up getting alternatives to whatever people ordered and we ended up dropping roughly $47.00 on Taco bell (totally had nothing to do with
drakeblacktail being drunk as shit and ordering 12 tacos). We end up back at the hotel with all the food and realized we got some extra stuff that we didn't order and didn't get charged for, which was pretty rad in my book. Then Drake unleashed his inner drunk by just being fucking hysterical that night by talking about how tacos have feelings and eating bananas for some odd reason. (Did I also forget to mention that Ludo turned Drake into a hamsteak?)
So day two rolls around and nothing on exciting really happened on my part, everyone kept splitting up and I kept getting very and angry over this. I ended up seeing Doug Walker from a distance, but was way to shy to even bother talk to him, I heard rumors that Brent Black was making public appearances here and there was well. So I ended up at the ConnectiCon furry parade, sitting inside a rather stuffy room with 100+ furs while in suit. It really wasn't that fun, but
TaruCat certainly found a way to entertain us all with her antics on eating bagels without egg and cheese on it. Another awkward moment during this was being put on the spot to talk about the CTfur's when I couldn't collect my thoughts quick enough for answering any questions, all well. I kinda don't remember doing much more after the parade, I think i wandered around and posed for pictures and got flustered and annoyed that I couldn't find anyone, so I went to the cafe and sat at a table and sent out a final tweet before my phone finally died saying, "Don't know where everyone is. At cafe sitting at table by gamers den. Phone officially dead now. #whereiseveryone" surely enough, after that tweet I ended up bumping into EVERYONE.
So as we all finally gathered, we were faced with the decision of WHAT should we eat for dinner again as we obtained a new roomie who I briefly met. Again, we decided to get pizza and again, surely enough the place wouldn't pick up the phone. So we all headed back to the hotel and decided that a few of us would go together, for what reason...I don't know, but we had a fleet of people to obtain a pizza to consume. The place we went to ended up being closed for the night (of course our luck) With a even better stroke of luck, there was another pizza place across the street and it was called, "Sgt. Pepper's" So we ordered about $55-60 worth of pizza and shit. The best part was when the homeless guy came in trying to trade clothes for pizza and was pan handling people for money IN the pizza place. So we got our pizza and headed back to the hotel and we all jammed out to "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing - Aerosmith" and "Safety Dance by Men Without Hats" but not before seeing the COOLEST motorcycles with LED lights all over them.
Day three, well this was probably the most of the three days that I had. Ludo and myself suited up and met up with the others in suit and walked around the con posing for people literally everywhere. The best part of that was when we managed to pretty much entertain an entire cafe area and apparently make the best OTP cosplays at the con with out little routine we did. I'll admit, that was a lot of fun entertaining in front of everyone and I totally hammed it up, let's be real. Then things kinda went meh and everyone split up again to do last minute things before leaving the con. I strolled my way back to my car to put back my rat suit Ludo was borrowing and came back to not being able to find anyone again, so I literally stood in the main lobby and just posed for people until I saw someone I knew. I was brought over to a group of little kids and interacted with them really well, the mother got a kick out of it as
Sarawrcat, Anthony, and myself all just chilled with the kids. I had a small issue with one of them took my glasses off my face and started bending them and I kinda said, "Oh shit, give me those" in front of him. #spoops and then he tried telling his mom I said the "S" word. I apologized to her and everything was cool, I felt so bad for letting that slip out haha. So skipping forward some, I ended up finding everyone again and sneaking away to walk Sarah to her family and also say goodbye to
clone63355 who had tagged along with us the entire con and helped made things fun. On my way back, being sidetracked with people who wanted pictures and again was brought into a routine again where I was just screaming and entertaining people who decided to film me. It was so much fun getting people to laugh, I feel like it's what I live for sometimes. It would have been better if my Co-Star Ludo was there to help out.
So the con had ended and none of us knew what to do, I came up with the idea of heading to the movie theaters and we all ended up watching Despicable Me 2 together, we all got a kick out of it and myself enjoyed it for the second time seeing it just as much as I saw it the first time. I thought it made a nice ending to a wonderful con experience with everyone. MY ABSOLUTE favorite part of this entire adventure was when we all finally settled down for the night while Drake, Ludo, and myself were up until 7:30 AM just talking about EVERYTHING and I felt it just made us that much closer with each other, especially when we talked about what annoys each other. Probably one the best conversations I had, the best was when I decided I was too hungry to do anything else and snagged A LOT of stuff from the free breakfast from the hotel and brought back to share with everyone. Of course, I rolled over and passed out for a couple hours before packing up and leaving.
We all said our goodbyes and went our ways and I have to say, these were the greatest roomies I ever had. We had our laughs and cries. Well....more like crying while laughing (*cough*anthony*cough*) I left parts out like Burger King being a cluster fuck and me giving a homeless guy a dollar then he asked for more from me changing his reasoning for needing money. There were a few people who really annoyed the fuck out of me during this con as well, just gonna say this. You need to grow the fuck up and get the fuck over it, if you don't know how I am by now, then why bother talking to me?
Anyway! That's it! I had tons of fun! Hope to do it again with the same people next year!
