I'm late at this...but Con Report and life update!
12 years ago
Dear Diary;
I'm going to start with why I'm late...
My friend (non furry) was having some legal issues and needed to come in from out of town to attend the court dates and everything. Needless to say he crashed at my place most of last week and was very stressed out. So when I was not working I was helping him out the best I could...resulting in me loosing a ton of sleep...and in return causing me to have bad days at work...No big deal with the exception, 90% of everything I did online was from my phone... Hence why I have been short to update most anything...I was thankful to get the time to post my pics from the con though...(still got a few more on the way...Just waiting)
Well, that is all sorted and was since Saturday morning...So I managed to clear out the last few days of work and catch up on sleep and chores. Now as of 15 minutes ago...Aside from cleaning the apartment up from a impromptu beer pong party that was held by my roomie. Everything is done!!!
Ok...On to the con report.
My con started early. Even though I didn't fly out till Thursday, I spent Tuesday resting and relaxing mostly recovering from being sick the weekend before.
Wednesday, is when all the fun started. I went to the river with a few friends and drank...I actually got buzzed, a rare thing for me (cause I don't drink much). Although the alcohol was the least of my issues...mixed with it was Rockstar, pink lemon-aid...delicious stuff you should not give to a little Fennec or Chakat who is normally suppressed in their life style and has an issue with controlling the amount of energy they normally have already...Well, I ended up bouncing off the walls most of the float. This brought great joy to the group I was with. So much so they decided to drag me out to Dave N Busters after we cleaned up from the river...buying me another Rockstar on the way...>>;
After 2 hours of attempted sleep my early morning Thursday flight was ready for me to board and I was off!!! Didn't land in Pittsburgh till 1230 and was at my Hotel by like 1:30. Checked my stuff in since the room wasn't ready and ran off to find
railrunner,
werewolfss,
Voxian, and
catnamedfish. Also to get my badge and registration done. Had a blast running around with them for the day. Also met up with
silkpaws for some om noms at Bistro Penn. Ending the day with fireworks and meeting up with
Reve
Friday was a eventful day. I got to meet so many others (most of which I don't think I can link so I'm not. For that I'm sorry guys!!!) like Seth Triggs, Goldfur, Thriceborn, Windchaser, CzGoldedition (Chinny), Quicktron, Talakestreal, and so many others (Once again I'm sorry if I didn't include you here...). I spent most of the day running around the dealers den/artist alley/ and the con in general. Other then meeting everyone and getting most of the stuff I had wanted to this was a rather uneventful day...at least till the dance...I had to show off my glow and dance the night away >;3
Saturday...dear god! So much to do!!! Most cons I would of gone from Friday-Sunday...this is would normally be my Sunday...but NOPE!!! I spent the day running around with all my friends having a blast! It was so much fun that I actually caused my JRA to flare up and was dead on my feet by the end of the night! It all started with the Taur Meet up at 11, was followed up by running around the dealers area some more (picking stuff up mostly) browsed the Artshow (I never do try for anything in those). And ending with a pleasant Chakat Nom and Yap that we were under booked for... Also...The weirdest thing happened to me at their >>; I was passed an email...(not going to say who's)...but I did give mine back (since I love meeting new friends). I proceeded back to the hotel room to get off my knees since I was done...
Sunday...this day got depressing...a few friends started leaving. But I had a wonderful time overall. Starting with lunch/breakfast with the person who left me their info. It was fun and really nice. I then proceeded to the Dealers Den/Artist Alley to pick up some stuff that had been finished. Had a game of Magic the Gathering. With Thrice, Reve, and Vox. Then helped the staff clear up some bags...:P After that we proceeded to Ben N Jerry's where we had icecream. It was all fun too till Journey came on the radio and the whole store busted into song (I have the video...but I think Rail will kill me). Everyone left shortly after this...So I went over the zoo with Midsnow where I got some more art work and spent as much time with friends as I could milk.
Monday was another sad day of good byes and a long trip home....
All in all BEST CON I HAVE BEEN TO EVER!!! Can't wait for next year >^,^<
Love you all ~Aurora~ Over and out!
