Looking back at EF20.
11 years ago
Eurofurence 20. -2014-
I felt i should write something random about my thoughts of EF. :)
This journal entry will be extremely poorly written as i'll be cramming down a bunch of stuff for no reason. : >
It feels like it was yesterday i was heading out the door for my first visit to Eurofurence and my second visit to a furcon overall.
There is something magic about furry conventions. Cant exactly put my finger/paw on it but its awesome nonetheless.
Meeting all these wonderfull people/animals. The ability to just sit down at a random table and start talking. :)
And all the artists creating wonderfull things wether its suits. Stories or drawings to immerse oneselves into the amazing worlds that we all enjoy.
I have alot of new watchers since the con. (Hell. I think i've doubled my watchers since the con. X_x ) wich i'm greatfull for. I dont create nor upload alot of stuff but hopefully i will one day.
If not. I have alot of folks to poke and prodd. And they can do so in turn with me. ^^
Speaking of people at cons...
My first furcon was actually NFC '14 (earlier this year that is.)
I Went there all alone only knowing that some people that i knew would be there. Wich made me start to mingle with all sorts of people. Was alot of fun! I actually met someone i now call my brother at NFC and one of the major parts of going to EF20 was to hang with him once again. We always have a great time together. ^^
So going to EF with the knowledge that i'd be talking alot with someone that means alot to me. Made me not so eager to branch out and meet alot of new people. Hopefully i'll think about that at NFC '15 so i can drag my browski around and talk to alot of new folks! ^^

Fursuits! ^^
When i 'joined' the furcommunity all these years ago. I thought fursuiting/fursuits was definetly not my thing.
Especially the toony ones. I couldnt stand them.
But every time i meet one. I just want a big fluffy hug. A nosepoke from those awefully squishy noses! <3
And then there's CC~
I'm a huge fan of clockworkcreatures suits. They are absolutely amazing. With some luck i'll be joining the ranks of CC-Suiters next year. (Sigh~ Hopefully before EF-21. If my calculations are correct and there are no delays.) And~ That the awefull wait will be over! ^^
The uniform
For starters. I love uniforms and all things military. I doubt that there will be any local cons with a military theme so it'd be rare for me to bring it to a con and police theme was close enough. ;)
I almost didnt bring my uniform to the con. I basically descided to do it the day before i was about to head to germany but i'm so glad i did. I was worried it might be offensive but apparently people are indeed smart enough to see i'm not serious about it. x3
I got so many politive remarks and comments. Almost like fursuiting without fur. ^_^
Alot of people asked where i got it and what kind of uniform it is.
Its a soviet captain-rank from 1983. The pin & the two medals are real.
(And random journal being random; I actually bought 4 medals and 2 pins in Berlin the day after the con. )
The future
I hope that i'll see anyone that might read this at a future con. I had a blast and enjoyed the time with every single person i talked to at the con. I only wish i had spoken to more. : >
I will be going to NFC '15. EF21 and i /might/ head to CF. : >
. . . And now if we all clasp our paws together and prey that i get into the next CC-Suit batch. ;) 4th times the charm.. ^^

Hoppas verkligen du kommer med i nästa CC batch! Bara tanken av att ha en sån suit närvarande i Skell gör mig knäpp. @_@

Lätt! Har rekryterat en kompis till mig som håller på med en partial suit nu, så om vi har tur så kanske man blir ett par stycken i framtiden! Hon bor i Ö-vik nu mera dock, men får ta och tvinga hit henne när det är dags... x)
