Anyway, convention happened. I roomed with Zoren, Alizar, and two people I don't know. Unexpected fifth person was actually really nice. Would room again, though I still have no idea who he was.
Did a few panels mainly to eat up time. Notably the fursuit concept and design panel went over pretty much everything proposed for my fursuit anatomy panel idea so now I don't have to worry about preparing such a presentation myself. Spent more on dealer stuff than expected ($20 on the novel Save The Day, $5 on a Certified Rat badge, $30 on the Pack Rat puppet) but well within my means, and regrettably completely forgot to look at the art show.
Got some suiting in and for once I went through the whole con without anything breaking or feeling bad about how terrible it looked. What few pictures I've been able to find indicate I messed up on the ears and there are issues with the body, but nothing horrible. I do see in retrospect why so many people were calling me a mouse, this will need some work. I only went to dance briefly on Sunday night but enjoyed myself thoroughly while there. I don't think I'll ever recapture the feeling of the first time I ever did it but this came close and I look forward to trying it again. My footpaws held up admirably under the stress, will have to figure out I how I built them.
I do feel that I failed to socialize. I mostly hanged out with the Sac crowd, and even then not all that much. Dined alone fairly often. Also managed to fail to order the paneer at that Indian place even though I went there twice intending to try it. Need more outreach. Also have to remember I'm carrying a camera. I now regret not capturing Gravy doing his so unbearably cute it's actually pretty scary routine.
All things considered I'd call this the least eventful con I've done so far, for good and ill.
