Eurofurence 20 was an adventure filled experience that I will surely never forget.

Part one: Road Trip.
It all started with a long journey through Europe. Fairlight (duskpanda) met up at Bunnyrah's home the night before the road trip where we all hung out, ate a home cooked meal by Nikko, and went to sleep early. The three of us then set off early in the morning to catch the ferry out from Dover England to France. The destination of the first leg of the road trip was the Netherlands where we would meet up with other furs and stay for the night. After ferry ride and some beautiful photos of Dover - we arrived in France - where I swiftly took advantage of the backseat and entered a prolonged cat-nap. For the next few hours, I would awake periodically in a new country, asking where we were, and fall back asleep until we arrived in the Netherlands.

Part two: The Dutch furs!
After traveling for most of the morning and into the late after-noon the first stretch of the road trip through Europe had come to an end. The three of us arrived in the Netherlands and began exchanging greetings with the other furs who were also spending the night and driving to EF20 the next day. These fur would soon become some of my favorite furs to run into and go on adventure with at Eurofurence. I am so glad to have gotten this chance to meet this group before the convention and I will totally be making a trip over to the Netherlands just to hang out with them again in the future. I also found it funny that I traveled thousands of miles away and ran into Fibrekitty at the dutch furs home - who has proven to be just as bouncy and green as he claims to be on twitter. :)

 saiyentom It was wonderful getting to meet you, and thank you for the gift that night. Hopefully we can meet up in Amsterdam sometime soon :P
 jckai  MrMonterry you two are a blast to be around, and all three of you are always welcome to come visit me in the states! :)


Part Three: The final leg of the road trip to to EF20 and Day/night 1.
We set off early in the morning with three cars headed to EF20. Shortly after getting on the road I did what cats do best and fell asleep in the backseat of the car - missing most of the beautiful scenery along the way. A few notable moments in the trip to EF20 was seeing a lack of advertising on the roadways, a large amount of green wind energy being used, and a lot of interesting/remarkable grafitti sprayed along the highways. :)

After driving most of the day we arrived at the Estrell hotel in Berlin where we would begin an almost-week long furry filled adventure. It was a Tuesday night in Berlin and furries from all over the world began trickling into the hotel lobby. This convention, unlike many others I have been to, proved to be a challenge on the first night. I was walking around trying to make some new friends, but kept finding my-self lost in a sea of people speaking other languages. After a bit of frustation and a few beers I finally found a few friends I had met in London/Netherlands and finished the night out snuggling with some fursuiters and getting a much needed nights rest.


Part Four: The convention.
I will sum up the convention the best I can here. I spent most of the days tweeting and making friends all over the convention. There are so many of you to name, so I will try my best to fit you all into this. Mirikun was one of the first furs I met at the convention (through twitter!) - I found out it was her birthday and gave her a pair of firework glasses and some candy from home and watched as she drew up cute fursonas. This moment gave me inspiration to keep meeting other furs from twitter and to enjoy the con as much as I possibly could. DrNanonium and Evilplatypus were another two furs I constantly ran into around the convention (also twitter furs!) these two made this convention one of the best I have ever experienced. When ever I was feeling a bit home-sick or actually sick with a hangover, they were there to hang out and give me company. We drank beers and chatted each others ears off and queued for events together, A perfect con friendship! I hope to see you both one day soon and cannot wait to grab some green beers again!

Parties: As far as room parties go I made it to a few.. but hanging out with the dutch furs was by far the funnest nights at the con for me. A fun drinking game turned into an out of control cuddle filled furpile where, sadly, a few furs found out how ticklish I was while Lightning-wolf used me and Saiyentom as a bed. After making a lot of noise and getting to the right level of drunkenness we then trickled down into the dance where the music didn't stop until long past 6:00 am.

The Russian furs! This group of furs made my convention nights the liveliest and funnest nights I have ever had at a furry convention. Sitting by the bonfire outside, smoking shisha, drinking vodka, laughing our asses off and comparing experiences in life. By the end of the convention I had fallen in love with all of them, and still miss this group to this day. I have to thank Enaya for giving me the blue fennec painting that is now hanging on my wall in my bedroom, it reminds me of you all every day - I especially cannot wait to see you all again. This group was not just Russians, there was a few Aussies and a fur from Belgium who were just as wonderful to be around.

Though I do not have both of their FA names right now - I met two German furs who really brought my spirits up one night when I was sitting all alone by the bonfire. A photo of this moment was captured and makes me so happy every time I see it! We spent the rest of the convention hanging out and even spent most of the last day up in my hotel room just chillin and listening to music. You two are the reason I will be returning the Germany one day - and I cannot wait to figure out how things work and are built and talk about music with you both again! :) Please come visit me in the states as well!
