Confuzzled recap!
11 years ago
Well that was a great week.
Once again, Confuzzled punched well above its weight to prove itself to be one of the greatest furry cons in the world. It may not have the sheer numbers of AC or MFF, but it's just as fun and magical as any larger con - moreso in some cases.
With just a little over a thousand attendees, it maintains a small, intimate feel. A great place just for chilling with friends ( of which there were many fine ones ) and with over 500 fursuits - a whopping 50% of the total attendees - it's also a great place for critter spotting.
Despite a few problems in the bar area ( I don't think they were expecting so many people to be ordering food at 2am ) the new venue was wonderful and I'm sure any such issues will be ironed out by next year. Bad weather meant we couldn't explore the grounds much, though.
Far too many fine people to name, but extra special thanks go out to
colifox for coming to pick me up at Birmingham bus station at 5am on a seriously rainy morning, then letting me rest on his sofa for a few hours afterwards. Seriously - that was much, much appreciated.
On the negative side, someone spilt a pint of beer on my fursuit on the last night. It mostly ended up on her left leg and right hoof - no permanent stains, but was pretty annoying. Of course, thanks to the most powerful fan in the world ( seriously, I've never seen any other fan like it ) she dried off in no time.
The 6 days you get if you pick early arrival/late departure is just perfect. By the last day you feel as if you've been there a long time, but not long enough that you're getting bored. Just right. Also, it means you get to meet and chat with just about everyone you wanted to. I don't think I missed anyone.
Highlights?
Zuberi! Cat in a box. A rather foxish badger. Applause for a late burger. Meerkat sandwich. Getting to the front row of the group photo again. The fact that the rain stopped just in time for the fursuit parade. Pegla's round and instant karma. Mini-Titash. Two sets of glasses. 6-2-1 rule. Tennis guy. The giant cookie that was gradually going stale and those still brave enough to take a bite. Kilt. The totally random Gruffalo. Minstrel & Equal still being alive. Raccoon brothers.
Plenty of peaches, peaches for me.
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you weren't there, man.

I saw something about Mini-Titash.
Everything else I guess I had to be there but I was not.
Well I posted to flikr what I was doing.
Hope to see you next year
