*insert horse pun here* or Bronycon report
11 years ago
I can play both sides of the field, can't I? Liking my yiffywolfs and small equines too? No, okay...
Well I haven't been to a con in forever, so when Shortwave wrangled me into being staff for him for BC logistics, it was bittersweet. Still had fun, but very little time for 'con stuff'.
About those hotel foxtrots... More female representation than I'd expect. Kids naturally too. Overall, more chance of little bronies than little furries going off demographics. Bronies are also surprisingly honest. Working lost and found it wasn't uncommon for someone to show up with not only a lost wallet/ipod/etc, but wads of cash, like 40, 100 bucks. Don't know if furries would as a whole, make a lost and found work that well.
After hearing horror stories about Everfree, I was expect zero fursuit presence or a hostile-to-fursuit attitude. There certainly wasn't the same kind of fursuiter preference or infrastructure to take care of overheating suiters as say AC has... but people were nice to suiters even if they weren't always as understanding of their plight, trying to get pictures even as they were making their way back to the lounge. The little 'red' badges worked well for that it seemed. Only like ten suiters for a convention of 9,600 though. Lots of not-pony related cosplay, or semi-pony related; Guys dressed as Russian troops, lots of TF2 dudes and one guy as Dallas from Payday.
Spaghetti too. So much spaghetti.
One thing I saw that did shock me, like a lot, was two guys dressed in soft fleece hoodies of ponies... with badges of their OCs in diapers and pacifiers. Yes gents, babyfur equivalents in brony exist. Ugh...
