Coming home from Vancoufur / Quick personal report and stuff
12 years ago
General
Will be driving back home to the States tomorrow. VF was totally fun this year.
Things started off kinda slow the first day or so for me, but Friday eve and Saturday just blew it up.
Got to eat lots of great sushi, met a ton of great people, made a few new friends (fuzzies and dragons too), got to suit a whole bunch (much much more than I did for RF, and even more so than last year at VF), dancing dragon, room parties, games of Munchkin (finally won for the 1st time ever), many hugs, many intelligent conversations, art from
WereMagnus (note to self: need to scan), top 5 on musical chairs, finally met
foxamoore as well as got to hear him play, never empty 3DS streetpass queue, LEGOS!, and... ... so very much more.
The only negative I can report had nothing to do with the con, but with the trip up. We were 'randomly selected' for total inspection on the way up. Border guards had a bit of fun with our luggage. All electronic gear including my phone, games, laptop, and etc were scanned and searched as well (I think they thought we looked like drug smugglers or something with all the fursuit bags we had in the back). I'm sure the guard turned a bit red when he opened my browser though... I had accidentally left my browser tuned to my profile on a site that shall remain nameless. Aside from trying not to look at me in the eye any longer when he came back... at least he complimented my on my choice of installed games on my laptop as they hurried us out the door and on our way :D
I'm sure I'm in a couple vids and pics during the games disguised as a goat, but the first few days of the convention I was alllll dragon so if anyone happens to spot me wandering around in any media please post a link.
Thanks to a friend pointing it out I found Darkk did make it onto the photo gallery of the Huffington Post in Canada a couple times apparently, and they are pretty nice pictures. Take a looksee:
