ConFuzzled 2014, the madness that was "Jesus on a Bicycle"
11 years ago
So what can I say? ConFuzzled was an amazing furcon despite not doing enough to make it better, but that's something I'll look to change for next year :3
Other than that, I might as well start somewhere and that somewhere will be the madness that was cycling there! 115 miles, that's a challenge to anyone who cycles! I managed to get 98 miles done before having a major attack of cramp, though I felt twinges at random points before that but managed to keep going, but going that far is a major achievement for me; 101 miles was the unscheduled stopping point, crashing into an unsighted kerb, falling off my bicycle, and getting a puncture (cracked front reflect light and cracked bell-ringer too). Deciding to walk as far as I could, to the safety of whatever 24hr McDonald's I could find, ending up sleeping/napping in a bus shelter because it started to rain. Managed to get my bicycle fixed and then it was another few miles of cycling towards the hotel, my legs couldn't handle it but I kept going and once I knew that I was in the area of the hotel I knew I was finished.
As for the convention; It was amazing, met so many people, old and new, and my only wish was that the Job Centre called me to tell me that they moved my appointment with them instead of making me come home a day early >.> Ah well, gonna make sure that's sorted out for next year.
I finally met Uncle Kage and got a hug from him, which made me feel epic, and many fursuiters that I wanted to meet from Twitter :D
Managed to get plenty of fursuit photo's with my phone camera, though I'll have to go through them all and delete the blurry one's.
Since I had to leave a day early for bullshit reasons, I decided to cycle to the main station instead of being lazy and getting a train there. En-route I nearly crashed into someone who decided to pull out onto the roundabout, instead of giving way, and I flipped all my rage onto them while cycling away. I wanted to cause a scene in the middle of the road but I knew it was pointless - I think a few drivers heard me shout "WHAAAAT THEEE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK" at the driver. I don't normally road-rage, or rage in general, but fuck...
Managed to get to the station and got my train home, then cycled a few more miles from the station to my house and passed out on my bed for several hours.
I'd like to thank everyone at ConFuzzled - the hotel staff, convention staff, fursuiters, non-suiters, etc etc - for a wonderful time and I think I'll be back next year for more madness including an attempt to raise money for the charity of choice by doing another cycle trip there!
