TFF WAS AN AMAZING THING <3
12 years ago
General
OK WOW so, as ya'll may know, I went to TFF this past weekend! It was my first ever convention and it was a BLAST! My whole family was there, though never all at the same time except for right before we left.
My family on the whole thing~
This convention was a test run of sorts for my parents. They had never even met a furry before this convention. There were some things that startled them and so my little brother (he is 5) wasn't brought back after the first look-around. I will be honest, it was the cross-dressers that made my parents hesitant. That and the smoking (though my parents didn't mention it, I could tell) were really the only things that my parents didn't like. They were extreeeemely bored the whole time though because there really wasn't anything for THEM to do if you know what I mean. My dad read in the corner and my mom was always on Facebook lol. My little bro didn't really have anything to say... which was understandable because he's 5. However, the thing he DID say was that it was too bad we didn't see Telephone. My sister wasn't super into it because it isn't her thing, but she said that she did enjoy seeing me have fun, which I thought was pretty cool of her :D My parents also said that they were happy I was having a fun time. They could really tell I was having fun when I was suiting, especially my dad (which is the person I was trying to impress the most).
MY experience
HNNNGG GUYS I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! At first it was awkward because I didn't know anybody and because I was super worried about what my parents were thinking. Things started to look up whenever I ran into 
greywolf2342000 who was super nice to me! He gave me a few tips about the schedule and how to find everything which was SUPER helpful! THANK YOU!!! I barely made it for the story/art/music improve with Fox Amoore and Blotch which I thought was pretty cool :D There were some jokes that I looked nervously over at my parents after but luckily I don't think they got any of the species related ones so that was a relief! (involving horses and fox tendencies lol) Next we went back to the hotel room so that I could change into suit. When I got back to the con-space, guess who the FIRST person I saw was?! THIS BEAUTIFUL CHICK 
starrik who was AWESOME and introduced me to some lovely furs whom I saw here and there throughout the entire con. We went and did the fursuit games which were SO FUN! We then went to the headless lounge where I really was able to officially meet everyone face-to-face which was nice. Those frozen towels are glorious I can't even tell you. I think fursuit improv was next? Idk it all was a bit jumbled because I kinda went with the flow X). I also WAS going too watch the Fox Amoore concert but it got to be too late for my dad who really just wanted sleep. I didn't want to push anything.
I slept well other than the fact that the hotel THOUGHT IT WOULD BE JUST DANDY to wake us up at 3AM FOR NO REASON. THANKS HOTEL, LOVE YOU TOO!!! At breakfast I took the liberty to explain to the Starbucks lady at the hotel exactly what all of the fluffbutts were doing there (she was so confused lol). I think I did a pretty god job with it! Then I headed out without my suit for a few hours when we want the tail-end of the suit building 101 and the whole Macgyver panel with my mom and sister. We went to the Dealers Den to check out some stuff and also to the art show, which was something my mom seamed to really appreciate! After all that I went back to the hotel and VERY QUICKLY threw all my stuff into my suitcase and suited up because check-out was at 2:00. I ran to the fursuit parade and met back up with starrik and also met 
antimon (thank you so much for the awesome crotch jams) and 
hotcoffee and 
milkboneunderwear and SOO MANY OTHERS WOW so many suits it was a SEA. I was REALLY hot after that parade! I went to the headless lounge and met 
vitaislade face-to-face (I had seen him the night before along with 
rokosho) and missed the photoshoot :P never even saw it. I heard they ran out of room anyways. Oh well, next time. After that I just hung out and romped about in my suit, playing with random people I picked up and then finally had a nice little conversation with 
swish. The last thing I did was HARDCORE BREAKING THE MAGIC while I walked around the entire con headess with convention staff looking for a credit card terminal to pay for the single piece of artwork I bought lol.
A couple side things
People actually wanted to meet me! Like, people were LOOKING for me!!! ;w; that was a total and pleasant surprise!!! There was also this one guy who tried to hook up with me which was a bit creepy because I had never met him before and he had only JUST heard of the fandom the day before. Once he found out how old I was he backed off BUT OTHER THAN THAT XD
Thank you everyone for such an amazing experience! I met so many wonderful and creative people and I really hope I can go again next year and the following years to come!!!
