BLFC - con report
11 years ago
Phew! I'm back from BLFC, and surprisingly still healthy. Due to not feeling great right before I left, I took it easy this con. I still had fun, but I didn't push myself.... took lots of breaks... went to bed at a reasonable time... ate relatively healthy food instead of only garbage. I was sure if I didn't get sick at the con, I would surely get sick once I got home, but! I'm on day 3 now and still feeling fine. anywho... on with the report:
Wednesday: Woke up stupid early and drove to the airport with my roomie
LoneTiggs. The flights were short and the connections were shorter, but we made it! >_< We had lunch and explored the hotel and hit wal-mart for necessities. There wasn't a ton of stuff to do if you didn't gamble. This really isn't a con to arrive early to... there's just not enough nearby stuff to tour/visit unless you rent a car.
Thursday: I had a bit of a sore throat when I woke up which was worrying. I shopped around in the morning then went to the spa for a pedicure. It was nice just to sit and relax for an hour and have someone rub my feet. I normally don't wear polish, but the lady convinced me to put on some green polish *admires toes* Hee hee!
I learned that the pedi treatment included access to the spa! I took full advantage and spent some time drinking juice and reading magazines, then hopped in the jacuzzi and sauna. I lay in the sauna for like an hour. I felt SO much better after, I think whatever I woke up with I sweated out of me.
Once I left the spa, reg was open, so I was able to grab my badge (woo! no line!)
I did suit a little, but went to bed early.
Friday: I went out to breakfast with
lonetiggs,
wolever, and
bloofox. Once we finished and got back to the hotel I went right to the sign-up for the go cart tournament. 15 minutes before the sign up was supposed to open, and there was already a line! I signed up, then wandered around the dealers area. I had a light lunch, then went out to the meeting place for the go cart tournament. We had to be escorted by security through the casino as we were not allowed on the casino floor with our heads on otherwise. Go carting was fun, but short. With 70 participants, everyone got to go once for about 5 minutes or so to ensure everyone got to take part. After my turn I chatted with people who came to watch the event :3
I took part in the dance comp preliminaries, so I had a light dinner. The prelimns were a bit of a clusterfuck... they wanted to rush through it, so didn't want us to use the music we sent them for our actual entries. I should have fought harder to use my music, as I was doing a musical number. Instead I got a slow awful song which was impossible to dance to T_T I didn't make the cut, but that's okay, there were SO many good dancers, I'm sure it was hard for the judges to pick.
I attended the dance, which was awesome :D Yay! 80's music dances are so fun!
Saturday: I did my
askmomomouse video in the morning. I only got some footage before my camera died. I forgot to bring my charger, so sadly I only had 45 minutes or so of video. I had to to the opening and closing once I got home. Still, the footage I did get was great. Thanks everyone who let me interview them!

I returned my camera to the room, then returned to the con floor and played with some of the toys and props the con provided. I took part in the huge photo (but got lost behind some tall furs as usual... sigh), and walked the parade.
Since I wasn't in the dance comp, I went for dinner with a bunch of Alberta furs. We did the buffet, were we all stuffed our faces :d I did the dance a bit, but the music wasn't as good as the previous night, so I ended up chatting with people in the hallway.
Sunday: I got up late and missed the mini golf event. I took part in the fursuit games which were both fun and a little dangerous >_< I lost my handpaw during the musical chairs event and narrowly avoided crushing my fingers between two chair backs.
I played video games and built a dinosaur at the lego table. I had dinner with Pounce and
Beastcub. I didn't want to fullsuit so I just put on my head and paws. When I got down to the dance everyone was participating in a dance circle. It was so great >_< it started with just some of the more popular dancers, but by the end we were encouraging even the more shy people to take part. I wish I could do more dance circles! MORE!
Ah! Such a good time >_< I think I may have to attend BLFC again next year.

FA+

Still, it was awesome seeing Momo running around the con at times, and glad to hear ya'all had fun. :D
And yeah, Friday's dance was EPIC! Just so many feels with the tunes they were spinning that night. =^.^=
There were a few entries I am glad got in... some others not so much, but hey, at least I got to stuff my face at dinner without worrying about being too full for the actual dance competition :P
Oh, I loved your ask Momo video. You are way too adorable. ^^
And we'll have to do it all over again soon.
