Back from the very first Anthro New England.
10 years ago
Greetings And I have to say, what rush. For a first year I was just shocked at all the furries. When I first heard about Anthro New England I thought it would be a nice small little con, maybe two too three-hundred, but as I left I heard that there was well over six-hundred (Seven-hundred possibly~). That was pretty mind blowing. Like Furpocalypse I roomed with Rei and his boyfriend Mykul, along with a fellow WarmaHordes player Shep, also I have to give a huge shout out too
admiralstiggy for being the best roomie I've had ever.
I had a lot of fun, plenty of drinking (thanks Mykul) as well get to see some nice panels, hit the rave/dance for a few minutes. Also my favorite thing, Street passing, didn't manage to get enough puzzle pieces for a picture but still quite a few, and I able to get a few commissions ordered. I'll be sure to upload the badges later this week as well as the larger images when they in.
With that over all ANE was a lot of fun, my only real complaints was the whole food situation since other than the in house restaurant and mini store which are both on the pricy side ($3 for a not 2l bottle of soda!? wtf) there was little to no places to get food other that wasn't 15-20 minute walk. Thankfully
junipersquirrel was kinda enough to drive us to a cheesecake factory for burgers Friday night, while we order pizza for the room the next night. Though with the food situation aside ANE was an amazing con, and I can't wait for the next one. I just hope I remember to bring snacks next year as well and be hopeful that we don't get six feet of snow several weeks before the con. If anyone wants to blame this ice themed doggy for that snow has to look somewhere else since those blizzards aren't my fault.
:update: Just as I was about to post this I just found out that ANE had over 750 attendants and had raised over $10,000 for MA Vest-A-Dog. Looks like quite a few working dogs will be some new body armor to protect them from the bad guys.

Glad you had fun- can't wait to attend my first con [some day ^_^ ]
I was so stoked. I can't wait to go again..
It was nice bumping into you :D
I hope to do it again next year, I just have to hope Furpocolypse doesn't steal my wallet like it almost did.
