General
Yo, what up?!
Let's see, where do i begin...
Day 1 ~
First off, i would like to thank
MC_Frisky for coming with me to this con and showing me around.
When i first got to the con, i admit, i was a bit overwhelmed at the sight of it all. It was just a really big con, never seen anything quite like it before. The first day was just the starting phase and even then, i was already starting to enjoy the con. We headed to Tonic to get a drink, (I got a coke), The "Yiff Me Berry Hard" drink was interesting, even going as far as to
xerxes_wolf asking the bartender what "Yiff" meant. I havent had a good laugh like that in a really long time. After that we got to look around the convention center, saw a couple of fursuiters, and even got to enjoy the view from the Con Center rooftop, and as i stood there, staring at the Pittsburgh sunset with the wind slowily breezing through, i knew, that this was going to be one great weekend adventure.
Day 2 ~
Day 2 was pretty neat, I had realized that my friend's plan to surprise his friends with his current disguise wasn't working out so well, So we figured we'd head to the Dealer's Den to check out a new disguise. While he was off looking around for a disguise i managed to commision a new badge from the awesome
SignalFire . Unfortunately right after that as i was trying to buy something from the Bedfellows Table, it turns out i lost my debit card and was pretty much unable to buy anything after the con. After that though, my friend had acquired a new disguise, which was carefully put into a box as to not spoil the surprise. We headed back to the hotel room and my friend got to put on his new disguise. Afterwards, we managed to wander around the con for a bit before my friend wanted to try and put his skills to the test at the Anthrocon Dance Competition Preliminaries. The judges were really giving him a hard time and round after round, he struggled to stay in the competition, unfortunately, he didn't make the cut, and we had missed the 4th of July fireworks. Afterwards i got to finally meet
LittleW0lf for the very first time and even managed to surprise
woger with the special guest appearance of
MC_Frisky
Day 3 ~
Day 3 was ok i guess. I woke up pretty early and headed out to Dunkin Donuts, it was where i met Ket for the first time. Afterwards i headed out to Dealer's Den again and received my new Badge! I then bumped into
jayfox7 and we proceeded to head into the Con's game room. I signed up for
Yoshils 's N64 Grab Bag Tournament. When the time came, i went into battle hoping to come out a winner. The 1st round was a game called "Cruisin' USA" which at the very beggining none of us knew how to even drive, but after me and my opponent managed to find the Accelarator the race had begun. Several car crashes later, i emerged the victor and moved to round 2. It was then i got placed another opponent and the game chosen was "Rampage: World Tour". I had no idea what i was doing and in the end, i failed. Having been defeated in battle i decided to withdraw to the Floor Wars event. I was just amazed at the dance skills of both Suiters, and non-suiters (mostly non-suiters, Dem Jacks tho). Afterwards, i went back to chill for a bit with Frisky and
InuYoko . I unfortunately missed the Super Smash Bros. Tournament i had signed up for and decided to go anyways and cheer on Jay. After Jay unfortunately also lost, we decided to just hang out and chill for a bit. I then proceeded to call it a day.
Day 4 ~
I will continue this on the 'morrow. But for now, this will do....
