FurFright 2013 Infection Report - Day 4 and 5
12 years ago
Dancing Through Life...
The dawn of the final day. I had wanted to do the fursuit games, but due to sheer exhaustion and the want to say goodbye to my friends leaving that day, I passed up on the games.
Our day started off with a delicious roommate breakfast down in the hotel. OMG their sunday brunch is incredible! Yum yum yum!
After that it was time for SUIT SWAP SUNDAY! I hopped in 
's suit and ran around with Meander and 
. It was utterly hilarious, as Meander is a grumpy fox character so it was very fun and different to play. I had some hilarious moments, such as throwing 
's backpack in the trash and beaming 
in the head with a bottle of water. I also did a little dance video as Meander, and I'll upload that here when it's done.
After that I picked up my spoopy commission from Telephone, showered and got ready for Sadie and JD's swing panel. I spent the whole panel hanging out with 
though, as he had to leave when the panel was over. Him leaving kind of sent everyone into the first kick of PCD. Tears were had and hugs were given as we said goodbye to Neerren, 
, 
and the other Quebec furs leaving at that time.
Saying goodbye to my Canada friends always sucks, cause I usually only see them at AC and FF. The drag from FurFright to AC is stupidly long so I really do miss them. Gunna try to do Furnal Equinox this year so I can say hi!
Anywho, after that we went out for Benchilla's birthday dinner, which was very fun! And then I scurried back for the 
photoshoot! After that Strobes and myself were interviewed by Benchilla for the Dancer Furs documentary. I always love sharing my thoughts and stories so that was enjoyable.
Literally right after I finished, 
and I booked it downstairs in suit for the second parade. We walked behind 
and Belic was behind us, so our little group was laughing the whole time.
After that I retired Gale for the rest of FurFright and went to 
, 
and 
's room. I became and adorable little mini Arinmal and spent the rest of my night wandering around as the glowing folf and saying goodbye to folks.
***INCOMING FEELS***
The end of the night entailed me watching Kintari, Flinch, Remix, Kairoo, Jake, and Strobes while I sat in the corner, smile painted on my face, trying to hold back the tears.
I honestly didn't have anything left in me to dance, and I'm terrified of dancing out of suit so there I sat, watching my friends destroy every beat. Everyone had grown so much in just three days, it was incredible! I thought to myself how blessed I must be to be able to be part of this glorious furry family. My life had already been awesome, but ever since I joined the fandom back in January 2011, my life has become insanely incredible. And even more recent, last FurFright actually, when I joined this dancer fur family, I became friends with a crew of people I can call my family and mean it. I truely feel like a Mama Gale when I watch everyone dance and perform, as I can watch them grow from first time dancers to gods walking the earth. You all make me so proud!
And to the non dancers, to every furry I've ever encountered, let it be known that your smile, your hug, your hello, brightens my day. Your friendship inspires me to be better. Your talents as a suiter, performer, dancer, artist, musician, gamer, car nut, chef, brewer, worker, etc. drive me to grow my talents and learn new things. Every last one of you is a beautiful person and I hope you continue to be.
It takes everything I have to not break down and cry the end of each con. Hugging you all goodbye is like ripping a bone from my body. Whether you live in the same city, same state, New England, the east coast, the west coast, Canada, Great Britan, Germany, Australia... anywhere, it hurts to say goodbye. Not a day goes by I don't think of you all.
But yeah...... that final night ended with all the roomies in bed. We new 
would be leaving in the middle of the night, so it was hard not to hug him before we went to sleep, but I didn't want to wake him. I hugged 
before we climbed in the other bed, and then I held tight to 
and 
and we dozed off.
Monday morning. Time to pack the cars and grab one last breakfast. The remaining Dancer Furs and Quebec furs reunited one last time at Dunkies. Good bye hugs were given and we all waved as our cars headed in different directions. I dropped off Flinch at the airport, and then drove off to Boston, jamming out to music and dancing the whole way home.
Then I made dinner for Strobes, cause that's my life.
But yeah.... that was a con I will never forget and thank you to everyone who made it so special. And especially to Belic.... for being the best damed Bruins Bear I'll ever know!
See ya at MFF everyone!
Peace and Love,
Gale <3
