Yep, GLFC Happened.
11 years ago
And I didn't die! Huzzah!
That's not to say the con was practically perfect in every way; our theme wasn't "404: Theme Not Found" for nothing. Scheduled events missing or cancelled last minute, events starting late (somebody even joked that next year's theme should be "15 Minutes Late" so people would expect it), equipment not working right (I never did get livestreaming to work, though
rabbit_ears streamed almost the whole con on his Ustream channel here: http://tinyurl.com/glfcstream ) and a lot of other things that stressed me out. We couldn't let those get us down though, not when we had a con to run, so we just called them "404's" and moved on.
Thankfully, the challenges were outweighed by more pleasant things. Getting to see all my friends again (however brief the encounters were) as well as make some new ones, co-hosting the fursuit performance panel with
sharpe19 and having it go over very well despite no major preparation, mastering the projector, petting the kitties from Crash's Landing and interacting with the puppies from Paws With A Cause in suit, throwing together Charity Cards Against Humanity at the last minute and still raising some money, and stealing 
tychoaussie to help pick up the cake and cupcakes for the Guest of Honor Luncheon (which both 
reimeerkat and 
omgsparky loved). I even let 
bombed run around in Money on Friday night. (She bribed me with art. I couldn't say no.)
I also revealed yet another hidden talent of mine: I jumped in the masquerade as a last minute entry and sang "Play The Game" by Queen (I've been taking voice lessons and that was the song I was working on). It didn't go as well as when I danced at Floor Wars (kinda flubbed a chunk of the song), but I had fun regardless.
Friday had been really stressful for me, and it wasn't until I walked out to the pool area on Saturday night and saw the pool full of people swimming around and sliding down the slide that I realized that, despite all the mess-ups, people were still having fun. Once I was able to let go of the stress, the rest of the weekend was a breeze.
So, now that everyone has returned to their own mundane lives (and I fight off this con crud. Figures.), I'm left with one single thought:
Next year's gonna be epic.
Many thanks to everyone who helped, and massive thanks to the GLFC staff, without whom I'd be a frazzled mess at the con. Y'all are family.
Hope to see you guys at GLFC 2015!
