Dancing Through Life...





Well first off I was in Orlando from Sunday July 20th until Monday July 28th and boy oh boy is it miserably hot. I was actually in Orlando mainly for the Mascot Games and not for the con, but it worked out I could do both. Mon-Thurs was lots of office work and prep stuff and meeting the men under the costumes of those 23 pro mascots. The Mascot Games will go down in my mind as one of the greatest events I have ever had the pleasure in working for. The charity, New Hope For Kids, is just so beautiful. Being able to meet some of my mascot heroes and watch them perform for all those kids was amazing. If you'd like to know more about the games check out the website: http://mascotgames.org/



So now here's my con only recap. Note that I wasn't at the con very much Thurs, Fri or Sat.



Thursday



Gosh what the hell did I even do Thursday. I know in the morning I hung out with a lot of folks, especially  and , which ruled cause I got to see Flacier's new suit! It's soooo cute! I also suited myself before heading to Mascot Games and then suited a bunch when I got back from Mascot Games. Overall I just recall talking to and meeting a ton of new folks. Including the very very adorable . 



Also I got to chill with my roomies   and Papya. I had never met Papya but god damn is she amazing!



Friday 



I got back to the hotel at like 4:00pm that day I think. So I got some noms at the hotel and then suited up. From there I went to go meet up with  for some filming in one of the panel rooms. It was there I really finally got to hang out with and meet       and Momlando. I had meet a few of them before at the con but it was nice to really become friends with everyone! And filming was such a blast!!!! All I can say is it was themed after the convention theme and it's a Tilt Longtail video everyone will love!



After that I desuited, hung out a bit at some parties, although stayed sober, and then hopped in 's suit Spike! From there Luie, Ty, and I went to 's set but omg it was so fucking warm. I lasted maybe an hour and then desuited and went to bed.



Saturday



I got back to the hotel at literally 4:35, then went up to the room, got naked, got changed into my outfit for Gale and got Gale on and was down in the main ballroom by 4:45 for dance comp. That was officially the fastest I ever changed. Anyways I was judging the dance comp which was like really nerve-wracking but also really incredible. The level of talent out there was INSANE <3 Omg everyone made me so damn proud. Like I just was dumbfonded and omg it made doing math really hard. But god damn all the judges had super similar placings and our top 8 were all sooooo close. I think we did a good job, and I think we all really inspired folks to come back and go even harder next year!!!



After that I just got shitfaced. Like white girl wasted. And I hung out with a ton of the dancers and a million others. We played a weird game Ryou brought. It was very awkward and fun lol. Then I went to Tilt's room where we watched the video he and I filmed at Anthrocon. You can all expect that ridiculousness soon. We also watched the raw footage from Megaplex and the "Turn Down Fur What" video I filmed at AC. Eventually Orlando, Momlando and Luie left and we delved into a very innapropriate conversation and my drunk ass passed out for like 40 minutes. What a con lol.



The rest of the night was a lot of chatting and having fun, followed by a like 3am bedtime.



Sunday



Alright my first full day at the con! I suited up pretty early and went to be sold in the Charity Auction in suit.  ended up buying me for like $70 so we got to dance all night long! I also stayed around to watch the Charity Auction. After that I get noms and then headed to the Fursuit Games with . Those were just stupidly silly. After that I desuited for a little bit and there was a dinner in there somewhere, then I went exploring. I found  tonkawolf,  tibortiger and  maximus-ursus who apparently had never met me out of suit! There were many hugs and chats and pictures, which ruled cause I love the Predators Football Team. After a good hang out with them I went in to closing ceremonies were I got snugs from  jamessnow and a bunch of other really cute DHC suits so I was just in heaven. 



Later that evening was dancing, the fursuit parade, hanging out, and chatting with folks like  shyybunny and just having a good time.  camorovak and  rubycanine can attest to that :P





Overall this convention was about making new friends and solidifying bonds with old friends. I absolutely loved it and loved everyone I got to hang out with. You guys make my life so incredible <3 Till next time



Much Love,

Mama Gale
