RF (arf arf) Journal!
11 years ago
tl;dr version: Seattle is my kind of town. Punk as fuck meets well-organized with a lot of nature. RF (arf arf) was great. Whenever I ran out of stuff to do it seemed like I immediately ran into some other furs. Fursuiting was brief but fun. Also, great fun with roomies.
Long version:
Intro: This was my first anniversary with my hyena, who I met on the Saturday of Rainfurrest 2013. :D I decided to take everything I know he likes and roll it into a tour of Seattle as my way of celebrating it. Those things, represented in our Seattle side-trips, are music, bread, quality craft brew, industrial bleakness, candy and coffee. I think I did a good job. :3
I decided to condense the rest of my journal for readability:
We spent about two days in Seattle. It's my kind of town. Great food, excellent beer, nice vibe, cool museums, excellent public transportation, very walkable and great music.
I did my usual stuff for cons, hit the dealer's den and a few panels, but I mainly hung out with a bunch of furs. I upgraded my fursuit with some sweet leather cuffs to cover the wrists. :3 I got a few commissions as well, including a few that were started at the con and some badges that were completed at the con.
I got to meet a bunch of new furs and hang out with many I had not had time to previously. Shout outs to Viro, Koji, MysteryPaws, Malamute, AJ Dingo, Chip Fox, Sasuke, Avon, Skavi, Express, DoberDog, Zack Grey, Shiny, RocketCorgi, Captain Ersatz, Tsuyoto (albeit briefly) and my roommates: Path and Yote K. I also got to meet up with plenty of Twitter fur friends like Cheetah Obscura, Bomber Panda, and Cryptodawg. Special shout-out to SasukeWuff for mixing awesome drinks and having truly great stories. (I expect to update this later as I remember more furries that I hung out with. I had quite a few beverages at the con XD)
For my roomies: It's always great to hang out with Path, and I really enjoyed getting to meet Yote K, who is quite entertaining and seems to share my cynical worldview XD. I wish I spent some more time getting to know K, but I suppose there will be future cons! At any rate, I wasn't eaten by a coyote or a hyena, so it's a good roommate situation.
It was awesome to hang out with all of you! So many great memories. Rainfurrest is my 2nd favorite con to date (BLFC was my favorite), but this experience in particular underscored that I really love that we as a community take a break to all hang out together over a couple days and be furry.

Glad you had such an awesome time!! It was great to see you again and meet Eno. You both are super-cool guys and made the con all that much more awesome for Shiny, me, and numerous others I'm sure.
See you guys next time around, and thanks for posting this.
I forget, are you going to TFF? We're not totally sure if we're going or not.
