Anthrocon Review

Sooo... I'm back from AC! Which is funny, since I live 20 minutes from the convention center. It was freaken amazing! I got to see a ton of people. Some that I had never been able to see before. Too many to really list. Some really old friends. People that are dear to me. People that I met recently. Old friends that I almost never get to talk to, or just haven't really spoken with for whatever reason. I'm terrible at keeping up with others. Mostly just had with coming up with what to talk about. Doesn't mean I've forgotten you. Or don't like you. Time is just not really noticed with me. x3
Con started with a bit of a scare. Thought that my fursuit might have been lost in the mail on the Wednesday of con week. The tracker hadn't updated for a few days. So I panicked a bit. Thankfully, it showed up! He looks amazing! Had some issues to tweak, but that was easy enough thanks to an awesome buddy of mine who was also at the con.
This added a new element to con going! And really screwed with my timing. Lost track of it because suiting was so fun. That parade! I've never felt so cool before. The city of Pittsburgh really came out in force to see us prance around. High fived a lot of kids and really felt the happiness in the faces around. If they do another parade that goes outside, I'm so in! My goodness that thing is hot, though. Espesially in my super hero costume! That thing does not breathe. It is really cool though! I love how it turned out. Just need to make some tweaks to the belt so it sits better on me. It's also very hard to see with the mask on over my fursuit head. Seeing with the normal suit eyes is like a dream. Wearing just the fursuit meant I could stay out longer, but it was fun running around as a hero. I cant wait to suit again!
We tried to limit our times eating out, but we very much enjoyed the places we went to. If you go to downtown Pittsburg, I highly recommend Szmidts Old World Deli and Proper Brick Oven. Expect to pay 12 to 16 bucks with no drink, so they are a little pricy, but SO worth it. High quality food in those places. Large drink selection. Bill's in the westin was a very mixed bag. I really liked the sushi they had. I could taste the ocean that fish was so fresh. Nachos were great. Burger was meh for the cost with no side. We also seemed to have cleared their stock of a lot of items as an added annoyance. Hanlan's Cafe, the spot that was formerly Big Mamas, and formerly Silver City Diner... Wasn't bad# At least for breakfast stuff. Cheap, filling. Not a bad call. Overall, I enjoyed my food over the weekend!
Man, time just flew by. There was so much I wish I could have done. I'll be kicking myself, as I always do, until the next year, where I'll make more plans, not do them all, and start the process all over again. What I DID get to do was great, though. I'm happy for what does happen, even if my time with some is limited, I'm Just happy to see them and plan for the next con you will for sure see me next AC. If I'm lucky, I'll manage MFF this year as well.
