So~! Finally home, and missing lots of people that I got to meet. Roomed with
kyselli and
isuzoofthedesert, and got to meet countless people that I'm not even going to begin listing, as then I'd just spend waaaay to long listing just names xD But I'll poke in a name or two here or there, as there were a few I really wanted to meet, or kind of fanboy-ed when I met them.
First day was a bit awesome and a bit stressful, as it was the day I flew out there. Talked with the roomies, and eventually relaxed and had a good evening. The next day, we just hung out until we could get badges. Fortunately we went a bit early, and didn't have to wait that long to get them.
Day three, which was Friday, we got going a bit late, and just walked around talking to people, getting hugs, and getting pictures. We also poked around in the dealers den, where I got my first con bag from the marvelous
neive. I'll post a picture of that at some point, as I'm loving it~ My only regret is that I didn't tell her to sign and date it... But I'll remember who made it for me regardless xD After all of that, I was enlightened to whom "Uncle Kage" was... and I wasn't disappointed. As he said as apart of his opening on stage: "I really don't know what I'm doing here. People just tell me to get up on stage, drink wine, and talk." And that's literally what he did, and no one could stop laughing. Truly a funny guy. After this, we took a quick class on Fursuit handling, and how to be helpful both in a suit, and/or as a handler. Most things I thought were obvious, but there was a good amount that was said that I was more than happy to learn. Break for dinner, and then the Dance competition~
I'm usually not the one to go to these kinds of things, as yes I do understand people are amazing, but I don't completely understand it, as I'm more of... a logic thinker. Regardless, it was quite the sight to see, and was a blast watching it. While there, I actually happened to bump into none other than the lovely miss
bunnybones~! It was awesome bumping into her, and wish we had more time to chat~! We talked some, I gushed a little about her to Razii who also gushed some as she knew who I was talking about. But now she knows who she's drawing for, and I know who's drawing for me xD But after the dance comp, the three of us were exhausted, and went back to the room and crashed.
Day four, Saturday, we went out for breakfast/lunch, and got ready for the fursuit parade~! Razii was both excited and nervous about being in it, but she did great~ I have a 25 minute video to share of that entire thing later, but for now, MORE TYPING~! That day we mainly spent walking around, and poking around the dealers room. Lots of photo's taken, lots of hugs, and over all, a good time. I, sadly, was pretty tired and had a bit to drink (Alcohol wise), and stayed in the room when the girls went to the dance. I planned to get some things done around the room, but found them coming back a few minutes later... though it wasn't a few minutes, more like an hour and some change... I completely crashed, fell asleep where I sat, and didn't wake until the door opened from their return. That, was how tired I was after that day xD
Day five, Sunday, we mainly spent poking around again. We did want to see a few things, but we always seemed to forget about them, or were in too much pain from walking to want to go to the event besides one event, stated in a moment. This day, I met many a person, but as I said above, don't want to list all of the names. The only name I will point out though, is
Temperance. I was talking to my friends on Friday while at the dance comp about suits, and spoke of one artist that I couldn't remember the name of, but knew of her suits being a bit focused on dance. She was able to make realistic, and extremely adorable suits, and she was one of the people I was thinking about asking to make Lance into a suit for me. Suddenly, the announcer said that Momo the mouse was next to do a dance. I spazed a little, as I didn't think it could be her, but she had a mouse suit named "Momo" and the possibility of it being her got me excited. Then seeing her run onto stage, I flailed more and pointed saying "That's her! That's exactly who I'm talking about!" to my friends. I passed her a few times in the halls, but every time I did and my friends told me "Go up and say hello" I'd come up with some excuse not to do so. Finally though, during the "FC: Unleashed" event, she sat down right in front of me. I flailed a little again, but didn't say anything/do anything, as I didn't want to disturb her. She got up a little before it ended, so I finally bit my tongue and followed. Out in the hall, I stopped her, asked for a hug, asked if she was the one that made that suit, and then gushed a little at her about how awesome of a job she does. She was quite nice about it, thanked me many a time, and after a quick picture of her, and a quick parting hug, we went our separate ways again.
Day six, Monday, was a depressing day. No events planned, nothing between us planned, and everyone was just packing up and going home. Quite a sad day that day. The girls went home that day, so for the first night that convention, I was actually, truly, alone. PDC ((Post convention depression)) hit hard that evening, so I did my best to watch some funny movies, and have a little drink.
Then came day seven... Tuesday... Where none of the flights were working, and my previous journal talked all about just that. So I won't talk about that at all xD
So, over all, FC 2014 was an awesome convention, an awesome start to going to furry conventions, and I really hope to see a lot of the people I bumped into there, again.
And finally, at some point I'm going to post a folder of pictures that I don't have names/accounts for. If anyone could help by giving me their DA, FA, and/or any other blogs or websites, it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading, and hope you all had a good one! Missed you guys~!
