General
The con was more awesome than last year, which is important since awesome was such a prevalent word in the 80's.
Drove over mid-day Thursday. This year I took the "short" route which had me driving past/over Mt. Lassen. It had just snowed so everything was pure white. I wanted to stop and take pictures, but if I pulled over I would've gotten stuck on the shoulder. No problems on the drive in otherwise. I did pass one car that managed to end up between trees facing the wrong direction on my side of the road down an embankment. Having seen that, I'm not so miffed at work for tying me up that morning despite my telling them I would be unavailable.
Friday went by pretty stupid quick with a a good chunk of that dedicated to the fursuit go-kart tourney. I would've done better if I decided to be mean but I leave that kind of karting up to Diablo since he's evil and all (when he was around anyway!) I got in a good mix of suiting and hanging out with folks which made the day seem to fly by.
Saturday went much the same as the "Miracle" fox was out and about for the parade. I've also got an awesome badge from Sidian to go with that which I shall scan at some point. I also ran around in the new critter, which at this point is still just a partial since I'm working on the body. - Yeah I know... me, working on a suit! That just doesn't happen anymore! - I also ran into the person that I sold Cal E Yote to years ago. It was discussed that I might want to buy him back, whiiiich I'll probably do because drunken yote was awesome (there's that word again!).
Sunday was go home day. I thought about sticking around longer but the weather over the passes was questionable, especially for the Fiesta. I stuck around for the critter games and then bolted over Donner summit since the north route seemed dicey.
I've not seen one flippin picture of Miracle fox or of the new critter, so I'll say nothing about it until it's done and post like official pictures.
No idea what con is next. No interest in AC but thinking of Megaplex as I wanted to do it last year and couldn't, plus it's been about 10 years since I made it to FL to harass the florida furs. Unthrocon is also on my maybe list because I can sign up for the Ford ST Academy the week of the con and get a track day in before the con. That's waaaaay off though in October and could put me in a pinch to make it to MFF. I'd like to hit that one up for the outdoor ice skating now that the con is pushed into December.
The new rims for the Fiesta came in too. I got them on the car yesterday but it's still filthy from the drive to Reno, so no pics yet.
Later duuuuuuuude.
