Anthrocon and first time fursuiting!
11 years ago
Yay Anthrocon! This time around was pretty different than most. Some of it was the same as usual. I didn't really meet too many people. The only person I did know going into it was my roommate and he's better at parties than I am, so a lot of evenings were spent quiet. Though it did allow me to see more of the evening dances I suppose, so that was fun. So in that regard, mostly the same as always (and just another reminder that I need to stop being so shy and go try and meet more people).
BUT! This was also the first con where I've had a fursuit. I was a little nervous about it at first. It was the first time I was ever in public in suit, and I didn't have a handler to help out. I didn't really know how I was going to "bring the character to life" or any of that. I don't know how to perform or anything. But all of that nervousness completely disappeared the moment I stepped out of the elevator. The energy was incredible, everyone was really awesome, and overall it was just really fun wandering around the con and interacting and posing for pictures with people. And hugs! Wings apparently make for good hugs.
Didn't know if I was going to do the parade either. So many people. @.@ BUT IT WAS FUN. <3
So all in all, the time I spent on my own wandering about was a bit meh. But the fun I had in suit more than made up for all of that. ^.^ My next furcon after AC is usually FC, but I wish there was something in the middle now. :/

Hey! I've never actually been to MFF, probably because it's a little close to FC which I usually end up trying to go to - but I'm definitely considering going this year and would be fun to hang out! ^.^
