How fucked up is it that one month after making a journal saying how much fun I had there, that it'd be followed up by the mourning of it's shutting down? Pretty fucked up I'd say. And you know, what can you say about this, anyone that had ever been that wasn't a giant douche knows how much this sucks. I just got done posting on their facebook wall about how my first year there was all my friends working, all the people that said they wanted to see me flaking, and how I didn't know anyone or where anything was, and it still turned out to be a better con experience than anytime I went to Anthrocon. The sense of closeness that you got from that convention will never be matched, I even dare say that when bios is trying to keep the spirit alive (and I'm hoping he succeeds). Hell for me its like being told you can't see your favorite part of your family anymore, cause even when I was wandering around by myself that first year it was the random people being so warm to each other that made it great. Hell even the staff most of the time were just like all the other normal con goers and not giving you that nagging feeling that if you fuck up in front of them you'd be in trouble.

I'm just happy as hell that I fought to get there this one last time, and got to see all the people I did one last time. Now I really don't know when I'm gonna see most of you all again and that really sucks. Grumpy old wolf has tears in his eyes because of that alone. And I don't know if anyone from the staff is watching me, or more miraculously reading this (except for you photo people cause I know you are), but thank you for all the work you've put in for the rest of us to have all the fun. I've always tried to thank you guys in person whenever I saw you taking breathers, so I hope that counted for something. I really wanted to get to know all you guys better, and I hope there's still a chance for that in the future. And I'm glad that this last con was the smoothest for all of you cause it sure as hell was the best year ever for myself as well. Nothing like going out good like that.

I'm hopeful for the future though. Like I said, some of the staffers are working to keep things alive and though it wont be called FurFright anymore I really hope they can keep the awesome going. If they can pull it all together in time for next year, you can bet I'll be there, Silent Bob look, toga, beer pong skills and all!
