BLFC wrap up - Photos coming soon
11 years ago
Got back from BLFC around midnight last night, and definitely missing the con already!
BLFC was a blast for the most part, got to meet many awesome people, make new friends, and saw several suiters, artists, and makers that I never expected to see! I roomed with
katanaredwolf and her husband, and had a ton of people from both the Utah Furries and EIF show up for the con az well.
Highlights of the con: Almost too many to mention. Being a handler for katana was awesome. Met Doryuu, Leo, Telephone and Radio again, Kilcodo, Soki Twopaw, Beastcub, Kai, Ruby Coyote, Splat Fennec, and the folks from Bad Dragon at the con. Met a ton of lovely artists and people, and got to meet Troj, an old friend from the Fur Affinity Forums.
The suiters were all fantastic...and most of the suits were of spectacular quality.
Conversations with
crazyjoe1952 were especially rewarding...I must say I was very happy to see him bring so many of his suits. My favorite remains the Silver Fox...so much detail and so realistic. Joe is always a friendly guy, talk to him if you ever get the chance. :)
Dinner with the Utah Furries was great, hanging with Spacebear Sparx and Roo Fox for the first time was also a pleasure, as well as Tim, Plain Jane, and other Utah Furs that I'd been meaning to meet. From EIF we also had
and
in suit.
Speaking of suits...the moment I ran across
redlumas' suit I was impressed...never have I seen a spider -wolf before, and I was so amused I kept calling him Spider-Woof for the whole con. :) Both Lumas and bestie
takodawolf21 were super sweet, super awesome people and it was an absolute pleasure to get to know them.
Other things I loved: Fursuit parade was fantastic. ..though a battery in my camera blew up halfway through causing the loss of the whole first half of the parade video :(.
Music was awesome...found the courage to dance by Saturday night and had an absolute blast making a fool of myself along with using my Fox Powers to get Katana and Claymore dancing too. :) and speaking of music...HOLY FREAKING DANCE COMP FINALS. I've never seen people lose parts of their suit while competing and still BRING IT the way these suiters did.
and
were especially amazing!
Had many chances to talk with
askMomoMouse and helped build a box fort and towers for the kiddies running around with her, talked airplanes with
and
. Also hung out with
a few times, and finally had the pleasure of meeting
in his adorable suit.
ArtemisBobcat joined
coreshot,
evoavulpes,
troj and myself for a stimulating discussion on geology and nuclear science, which somehow turned into a discussion on skiing and chainsaw safety. XD Coreshot and Artemis also had amazing suits, Coreshot's bomber panda is seriously one of the best Red Panda suits I've ever seen. Also had a chance to hang out with
Kitami Kitsune, a good friend and excellent suiter. I love his button nose fox!
Most everyone was down to earth, sociable, easy to talk to, and fun. Go karts and mini golf were available, though I only videoed the Go-kart competition which Katana entered. Met
DoubleOFox there as well as
Sokitwopaw in his Lou Caribou suit..who hillariously trolled me in the process. Later met
Roguewolfclaw at the dance comp prelim, a suiter I've been wanting to meet for a while.
The food at the con was bad...and very overpriced...except for the Cantina...seriously...the Cantina had the best food in the entire resort. Johnny Rockets was okay as well and many meetups were held there.
Bowling was fun as well, I sqeaked out a win at the very end with Kitami and
Remi Tentacle...and let me just say that Remi was super fun to keep running into and to hang out with. Also wound up at a room party at one point which we left pretty quickly after things got a bit...heavy...shall we say? XD Also kept running into
and getting chocolate moose hugs haha.
The only real downer about the con was a few select flakey people who were friendly one minute and kind of rude the next. There were also far fewer hugs at this con than there were at FurFright. A shame really. Finally I wound up very ill on Friday, but made my best effort to get through the day regardless.
I know I am surely leaving some things out...and as I get some time ill fill in this journal with clickable names...but in the meantime I'll say the con was great and I'm looking forward to next year for sure!

Obviously,
evoavulpes can be blamed for the chainsaw safety awareness discussion sidetrack monologue
