Just as a heads up, I'm AWFUL with names, so i'm probably gonna refer to most people as 'this one guy' or something unless I had your FA written down and I for sure know you're that person, lol

Wednesday -

LONG as drive from Orlando down to naples at 10PM to go pick up our con roomie  T.B./ tailbiter. Didn't actually arrive until like, 2-3 AM and found probably the SHITTIEST McDonalds on the drive. I mean, fast food is fast food, but we got the 'please pull ahead and wait' thing that lasted almost 20 minutes.... there isn't ANYTHING on the McDonalds menu that takes 20 minutes to make start to finish....


Thursday -

Tackled the drive back and started planning con stuff to do~ We sorta got it all figured out *this would be pointless later, lol* and did a quick swing by at the apartment to drop off stuff since check in for us wasn't till tomorrow. We got  narcotic-sprinkles and did the introduction to room mate and friends, and learned that the con space was already open for hang out time, so we got to go over and derp for a bit. Debated doing fursuit bowling, but in the end decided against it. Also there was pizza. mmmm pizza.


Friday -

Friday for me was kinda fucky. Got up at 8 to go print out badges and art examples at kinkos, which ended up taking almost 2 hours. Dropped my compatriots off at the con to get the party started and headed back home to finish working on Saiki cause it still needed fingers and toes *personal suit = Laaaazy me* We'd planned to bring the rest of the stuff for the weekend over around check in time anyway :P Loaded the car with Ganache and we made the second pilgrimage over to the con. Got the stuff up to the room and I finished working on the suit for the day. Hands were done, but toes were missing *oops again* but we sent  t.b. out in Saiki to go run around~ So far the only pic I've got of saiki from the con was from right before the suits public debut~ *if you've got pics of saiki, please send them my way~~~ <3* After that I had to take Ganache to work, so I just went to hang back at the apartment. Tried to finish up pen in the 3 hours I had to wait, but there was still WAY too much to do to make it wearable u _ u So appologies on that, BUT I've just got the rest of the spikes to put on, and to make the hands *and trim the face* and it'll be ready for it's beauty shots now~ <3 Ended up taking a nap cause I was starting to feel kinda sick, but I think that was from not eatting much all day. Picked up Ganache and headed back over to the con space to go derp around with people. Reg had closed by then, though, so balls. Worse off, we ended up having to pay the room cost up front instead of at check out, so I ended up forfeiting my weekend pass to make sure the room was covered, but it's all good. :3


Saturday -

Woke up late and started working on finish up Saiki's feet for the fursuit parade. ALMOST missed it thanks to getting my pass this morning right before the photo and lineup started, but we made it! Dang I didn't realize how tiring it was to be in a full suit for so long *read, not that long at all, lol* I need to practice and work on my stamina. I did run into a buddy of mine from Metrocon  aether718which was awesome! Sadly saturday was his only day at the con. Right after the parade I ended up zipping back up to the room due to being way too hot. Took a shower, sprayed down the suit, then we took Ganache back home. Without a suit they felt a little out of place, but it still looked fun to them, so once we get their suit finished, it'll be a different story :D I headed back to the hotel again and meandered my way down to artists alley. Got a couple little commissions *enough to bump back up to a weekend badge! Yay!* and... well.. Saturday night is KIND of a blur. I remember room hopping, and going to Denny's... and trying to suit again, but it got really hot really fast... I need to drink more before suiting, definitely.


Sunday -

Sunday also flew by, but I got to spend majority of the day in artists alley and met some really cool people!  bobkitty sila and  morokai all hung out for good chunks of time to keep me company. there were some other people at the table that I didn't get their FA's, but I'd love to watch ya'll cause your arts was awesome! *oh gosh, grammar, what?* I finally got to meander into the dealers den, too, and ooooooh I'm so sad/glad I didn't earlier. there was SO MUCH cool stuff in there, but I was literally flying by the seat of my pants on funds all weekend right up to the ends @_@


Monday -

Check out day! I ended up waking up early and headed down to the lobby for a bit where me and Narco met up with  minimumtalent who went to bribe us with food for arts *always a winning plan, lol*. TB went home with some of our other friends, whos FAs I'm also derp on, but it was AWESOME getting to see everyone! I made it back home by noon, and we played the unpacking game, and today Saiki Suit gets a nice deep cleaning bath, cause while we kept it sprayed down with water/alcohol all weekend, it's smelling a little bit funky now, soooo spa day!







I can't WAIT to get to see everyone again next year, but I'd LOVE to start planning for another convention or two between then and now *FWA is definitely on the table, but again, another one or two cons would be AMAZING!* Hopefully something sorta south-eastern would be great, cause we'll probably be driving to it. I WANT to go to MFF, but flying is expensive, and driving in snow is a thing I have no idea how to pull off @_@;
