Califur was lots of fun! There were some things that were unpleasant about it but it was great getting to debut Chu Chu and getting asked to take pictures /=uvu=\. I'll break it up into chunks!

GOH DINNER: Honestly kinda sucked. Our table was near the edge, and besides my friends and I (who are  lenne and  ghostasaur ) three other people sat with us and we had 3 empty seats on our table. The food was RUSHED to us, the moment they see you done (they don't ask if you are done) they replace it with the next course. We had to eat way to fast basically and it gave us all stomach aches. One chick who sat with us was a rude little shit. She's roll her eyes whenever my friends and I tried to engage in conversation because literally only her and another woman (who was nice) talked the whole time, leaving us to feel somewhat isolated even with attempts to socialize. So yeah, some 18 year old snot she was. :\ Not only that, it was a HUGE FUCKING HASSLE to get these people to change my friends order to get rid of the potatoes because they had parmesan in them--which she is allergic to. It's like…Excuse me we're paying $30 for a fucking steak dinner and instead of being sweat and saying "yes of course!" they made it seem like a huge ass deal to get rid of the mashed potatoes. Because of that I didn't even bother asking for them to remove onions from my steak because just wow...OH AND IT GETS BETTER: Some table came in late??? And a waiter literally took the bread off our table and gave it to that new table. What the actual heck??? My friend and I were still munching on bread the entire time and they literally gave our basket to another table. I….what? 4/10 would not recommend going to the GOH dinner for Califur after this experience.

Aquatic Furs Meet: A huge fucking bust. Like 8 people showed up and apparently not the organizer of the meet-up? So we all kinda sat there waiting for 50 minutes and nothing happened so we all left.

Califur T-Shirts: I teamed up with  jaxbug this year and designed a t-shirt and it seems to have sold very well at con! Which makes me incredibly happy seeing people wearing my PL&H shirt <3 Also took a commission in the artist alley that was a great experience to know what its like to be behind a table. Wish I did it more but I wasn't prepared or had a method of advertising and I didn't want to leave my friends for long XO

Fursuit: A bit disappointed at the fact I didn't get the rest of my fursuit (hooves/paws) until the last day--Sunday--which is the day everyones packing up to leave. I got to fursuit with the rest of the partial a little bit but it wasn't shown off in the fursuit parade and that's an extreme let down. People seemed to love Chu anyway despite being an incomplete partial and that made me really happy though. People recognized  shagpoke's tail~!

Fursuit Parade:  lenne and I were in the suit parade! She wasn't in suit but she had pretty deer-make-up on, I needed her since I'm such a mobile clumsy thing in suit thanks to my really poor vision plus adding blind spots on top of that. (so if you noticed I was slow or took a moment to figure out you were handing me something at any point just know that it's because I'm VERY blind x'D) We threw some dollar store stuffed animals at people, gave one to a cute little baby and whoever else uvu the sting ray plushies weren't a good idea as their fins acted like sails and they'd plop short of people but I didn't see any left in the hallway so I like to assume they all found good homes! All the swim swims!

Gargoyles Lecture: Got to meet the creator of Gargoyles! His lecture was really useful to hear! We bought his book and he signed it for us :) It was such an honor.

Merchandise: Didn't buy any art this year really as I was trying to save for Anime Expo as well, but I did get a really cute custom fragrance necklace! It was sculpted to look like Chu Chu and it smells really sweet and it's utterly adorable ahh! I bought some bandana XD one with sexy men on it (it was hilarious) and a pretty pink one! The bandanas were by  morefurless :) who are really cool people!

Peeps: Ran into some people I recognized which was really cool! Hung out a bit with  raptonx! Also found people like  straitfox,  clockworkcoon,  pandasocks,  zephyrdragon,  shadowpelt and  brown_wolf! If you found me lemme know!!! I tried my best to recognize people but in suit again I can't see very well at all so I might have missed people's badge names ;o;


Lots of people complimented my hologram badges that I made which was really nice! And I got to advertise  seagullprophet's badge buddies and handed her name out whenever anyone asked where I got mine :) It was awesome!

Thanks everyone who said hi and hung out with us and everything! You made the good outweigh the bad and made it a really enjoyable experience! I'll see you next year!


That's all! Chu Chu OUT!
