Eurofurence recap
11 years ago
I'm currently in Paris, gradually unwinding from my 6 day Eurofurence experience.
All in all, it was another great con.
I've heard many horror stories about very long delays for various events, but the only thing I actually attended was the fursuit parade on Thursday afternoon. Rest of the con was a combination of fursuiting in my new Speckle suit or just socialising with friends. I didn't even go shopping in the dealer's room.
Spent some time with many very excellent people, including
tenderpaws,
lanakila,
wruf,
cleoleo,
flintgf,
slykitty,
colifox,
sacred_fursuit,
jashi,
drachetto,
eps-ham,
albus,
titash,
camelia and my roomie
jbadger.
Lots more great people, too, but I think I'm out of icons!
Also thanks to Blackymoon, Freddy, Moco, Fibre, Phil, Arctic Steve, Yag, Geowolf, Cenobear, BD, Zho, & many others.
On the negative side, I found it a little difficult to suit in the Estrel lobby due to the abundance of tables and chairs and being pretty much corralled into one walking area. Also, I didn't make the group fursuit photo due to excessive delays in the schedule.
Other than that, I found Speckle a lot easier to suit in than Peaches, and didn't feel half as hot & sweaty while out and about as I did in the goat. The suit is remarkably easy to get in and out of, and I can both suit up and desuit in just 5 mins.
Tried out a couple of different walks, a slow shuffle seeming to be most popular. Will probably stick with that.
As usual, I took a lot of photos. Haven't had a chance to edit them yet as I'm still away from home, but hopefully I'll have them sorted and ready to upload at some point over the weekend.
Anyway, that's EF over and done with. Next stop: MFF.
