Califur 2014 Reflection + Announcement
11 years ago
Well now that it’s been a week since the con, I guess now is a good time to talk about it. XD
So I got there on Friday morning with
and Zero, and we checked in at the Wyndham across the street from the Marriott. It was cheaper, that’s why we stood there. It was a really nice hotel. I think we may stay there again next year. Anyway, after we got settled, and
arrived, we got ready for the con. I brought my new suit,
with me, and I dressed him in the maid outfit I put together recently. I know he’s a dude, but I thought it would be cool to wear during the pet auction later that evening. So the 4 of us headed to the Marriott, and after waiting in line for nearly an hour we got our tickets, and it was time to start the con. We suited around most of the time. But when we took our breaks it was either in the fursuit lounge, or in the artist lounge next door. That’s when I met
again. It’s been nearly 2 years since I last saw him, so it was great to hang out with him again. And we all headed out for dinner at subway across the street. Might as well since it’s close by and I needed to get back in time to sign up for the pet auction. After chowing down, we headed back to the Marriott, and I didn’t make it back in time to sign up for the pet auction on my own, but I did manage to join a group. That’s how I met
and
. They’re both really cool, and I was grateful to Thursday for letting me join her. :D Anyway, the three of us were the second group on stage, and we sold for $120. Woooo, I beat my record from last year by a landslide. XD IT was pretty fun, showing off how cute I can be, even though my suit looks angry. XD And a cool thing, the person who bought my group was someone I went to high school with. I didn’t know him that well in high school, but he was friends with one of my fellow bandmates, so I saw him in the band room once in a while. Oh, and I got to meet
and
cuz my owner bought them too. IT was fun hanging out with this group. We had some snacks at the hotel restaurant, played some games, and just chatted. And to end the night, we went to the dance and just shook our tails, and just had a great time. Then I went home cuz I had to be close by cuz my brother was graduating the following morning.
So the next morning I got up early and ready to go see my bro graduate from College. He got his Bachelors in Psychology, and will be taking classes for his masters in the fall. Wooo way to go little bro. :D After the ceremony we went to the Cheese Cake Factory for some lunch. Took like an hour to get a table to seat our group but it was worth the wait. I had myself a mushroom hamburger and it was delicious. P: And from there I headed back to the con. I didn’t get there until 7pm, so all the stuff I wanted to do was already over. Oh well, I just suited, hung out with friends, and drew some stuff. Pretty laid back night but I had fun, plus taking photos. :3 And at around midnight I headed back to the room and just crashed cuz I was so tired. XD
Sunday was also a laid back day. It’s the last day so that’s usual for cons. I entered the Furry Feud, a parody of the game show Family Feud with Hani, Zero, and
It was a lot of fun, and we won the first round, but lost in the second. Oh well, it was still loads of fun. Then I ran into
who I haven’t seen since the LA Furs meet in February. It was great seeing him again and hanging out in the dealer’s hall where I bought a few buttons and stuff. :3 After I headed out for dinner at Carls Jr with Hani, Yume, Zero, and
for some burgers of course. XD It was fun just hanging out together for the final evening of the con. And after dinner Hani, Zero, and I went home.
I had a great time, hanging out with current friends, meeting new friends, suiting, and just doing my furry thing. Oh, and shout out to
for taking mine and my buds photo, and just being an awesome friend. Heh, we look cute in it. :3
ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!
So yeah the announcement. Nothing huge, I'm just remaking the Allen suit. So far I took apart his head (I'm recycling the base) added larger ears similar to Eren's, follow me eyes and a new fleece tongue. Right now I'm finally remaking his feet after not using them for a year and a half. Next will be making the patterns for the body, purchasing fur for everything and making my room a white fur mess as I work on this thing. I'm going to estimate that he won't be ready until mid July cuz I have some stuff to take care of for AX, but I'm going to attempt to have him ready for AX and debut his new look there. Wish me luck. :D
