FWA Con Report continued.

I can't really comment on the con itself, It was , as cons have become, just a backdrop, The only con things I partook in was about 30 minutes of dances *Loved the LED concert style led wall* the fursuit parade, Tilt's panal, as he was a friend and I was hoping Gale would be there, and the dealers den, which took all my money on Chinese knockoff ponies I will say the dances didn't sound as good as I thought they should have, with the setup they had, they didn't seem to have much mid range and the transition wasn't very good there either was no bass or a shit ton, I think someone messed with the crossovers and I really don't think the dead dog needed an Mc...but whatever. Based on what I heard of floor wars and the dance comp, glad I skipped it. Onward to the actual con experience for me.


It def had its up's and downs, one minute I'm feeling lonely and excluded, snubbed by a friend, debating if I actually just saw someone, but not able to tell for sure, and too shy to go and ask, wanting to say hi to a cute suiter but feeling self conscience, to the next having a great chat with an old friend like Tilt, or Seaweed, having someone keep a promise to me, like Gale, or being accepted by and making new friends with someone, like the Pony suiters or Kalu, who turns out I knew from many ac's ago, I took his fursuit virginity, now he is a cute rabbit.. Overall I think it was worth it, I just need to work on the rest of the time. Not being able to see badges is a real limiting thing, cons being so big that cool people get hti with so many weirdo's and they are almost tired of the same introductions is another. There were a few suiters I worked up the courage to say hey too and get a picture, the blue striped meerkat, evermouse, the Fawn, but then other times I try to break in to a conversation, often with friends, like with Ras, it falls on what felt like deaf ears. Its a hard balance to strike with being friendly yet not encroaching on personal space. It's heard breaking in to form friendships with people, especially when you're only going on, omg that's an adorable suit...it feels so shallow to start something based on that, like a guy going up to a hot girl in a bar and trying to get her number... It really felt that most people who were at con talking to each other and suiting in groups had these big built up relationships likely established and kept fresh online. I've been rather distant from the online scene lately, so it was almost like starting fresh, and I just get this large impression of most people not looking for new friends at a con, they are already overtaxed just making time for all the people they already want to see going in. I want to work on that and get closer to people online and staying there so when we do show at the same con they actually seek me out and want to spend time with me. I did have a good time overall, and the best thing to come out of it was def the pony experience

To that end if we hung out or you saw me, please reach out, help me get started.
