Central Plains Fur Con
12 years ago
Well, it looks like CPFC was a success. With 97 people attending, a great hotel and some perfect weather (most would probably say it was chilly) I thought the con went very well; especially considering this is the first year. Major kudos to Merk, Dale and all the supporters!
I was billed to take on the role of head of security and I'm happy to report that it was a very boring job! As far as I know we didn't have any trouble, everyone was well behaved and the hotel was kept remarkably clean. Instead I ended up helping out with the pizza party, fursuit games and attempting to help Merk with the chaos that is AV during the variety show... I'm getting two-way radios for next year.
Other than that, it was very relaxing and I got to hang out with my friends as one would hope to do during a con. Out of all the volunteers/staff members I fear I likely did the least, but someone has to set the low bar. :]
We had four main acts for the variety show which encompassed Ryken playing a keytar piece, Kiwi (the spawn of Oki and Askari) doing a cheer leading routine, Hexadoodle with a badass piano piece that encompassed a number of different songs and styles and Blitz on his guitar playing some hair-band song I can't recall the name of. Ultimately Blitz won the vote as the winner of the show, but it was by a small margin (14 to 16) over Hex. As a result, I felt like a talentless hack. :P
Honorable mention goes to Kyro who made for a good roommate yet again and being a good sport about a terrible drink, and honestly everyone in attendance for being an awesome group. This was easily the best group of furs I've seen in a while. I'd do shout-outs, but there's too damn many people to list. :P If you're on my watch list and attended the con, congrats, you're awesome!

Seriously dude, you guys pulled it off, big time. There should be nothing you should apologize for.
