Laaaaaaaate RF 2014 Recap
11 years ago
General
I know this is waaaay late, but I've been hella busy since coming back from RF, so sorry about that. XD
This was my third Rainfurrest in a row, and I have to say, this one was by far the best one. This might've actually been my best con ever, no joke. It's right up there with MFF from last year. I had such an amazing time, got to hang out and reconnect with just about every one of my friends that I wanted to see, even though who I hadn't seen since last year's RF.
The dances were AMAZING. So many DJs brought their A-game this year and I danced my ass off. I also got to wear
storm-tiger's fursuit on Saturday night, and that was soooo much fun. :D You have no idea how exciting it is to go around surprising people who don't know it's you. I also got to dance with some of my favorite fursuiters, and that felt like a long time coming. I actually battled Ticer and we started a dance circle, which was so much fun. I never thought I'd see the day where he actually complimented my dancing, and..I'm still kind of shocked about that. :)
One of the biggest highlights for me this year was DJing and playing mainstage Friday night where I played a tag set with
Thumper. They wanted to change it up this year, so instead of 
Akonite and Thumper tagging like they usually do, Akonite tagged with Bloodwiser, while I tagged with Thumper. I have to admit, this was my first time tagging with someone, and I was...nervous to say the least. But it went pretty well! We had a huge crowd, and so many of my friends actually came to support us, which I'm always I had the time of my life that night, and it's definitely going down as one of my favorite experiences DJing live. There's very few DJs I would even feel comfortable tagging with, but Thumper is the guy who set me on the correct path when I tried getting into this. I can't thank him enough for being so patient and accomodating with me, and I learned a great deal that I probably wouldn't have learned otherwise. And while I still prefer DJing solo, I really do think tagging is a unique experience that everyone should try at least once. Also, 
Raket wore Valentine for our set, which was also pretty cool. :)
Another highlight for me was the fursuit dance competition. This was my 8th dance competition, and my third time performing for RF's. I'm pretty happy with how it came out; It wasn't perfect, but I think it really lives up to what I did at FWA earlier this year. And it's the most locking I've done in a performance. I'm trying to make locking my main style, so I'm happy I got to show it off as much as I did here. Plus, hearing such positive feedback from Doryuu really, really made my night and his comments about my locking made me feel...validated, like it was the right decision to try making this my main style. I think, placements aside, this was one of the best dance competitions performance-wise, because so many performances were just incredible. And of course, that light show. :3
So yeah, RF was amazing. I continue to be blown away by this con everytime that I attend. Now I'm just prepping myself for MFF. :)

I pleased that ultimately it turned from a stressful idea to memorable experience for you! You did an exceptional job, well done! :) And how cool to have Valentine there one stage with you too! Raket is a good guy :)

Thank you so much, dude. That really means a lot. Looking back, I'm still kind of shocked how well I did, but I'm absolutely grateful for the experience. Haha, and yeah, I like letting someone else dance around in Valentine sometimes.
