General
AC was a blast just like last year. I've seen way too many people to really tag everyone here, but shoot, where do I start?
Big shoutout to
and
for the ride there. Getting there went without a hitch, and we got out there around 4:30 or so, if I remember right. I spend the first night at the Omni with
and his roomies after trying to find the place for about 20 minutes. XD
The rest of the con I was rooming with dat cloud eater/cloud maker
at the Westin, making jokes about how the hotel shower wasn't tall enough for him, etc. Also got my drink on with him at Tonic, and it fucked me up. :D
Friday night blew my fucking mind. I spent some time nerding out over old cameras at MCFC with
and
and got to know em a bit better both there, and at this AC. When I ran into King Gourd Friday, he said he and Tilt Longtail were going to do the room party shenanigans that they did at MCFC where they'd play old 8mm films they haven't seen before; after the pretty damn unanimous conclusion at MCFC that it was the best night at the con for those that attended in March, I let King Gourd know I had to see this for myself. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long ass time, to be honest, and I'll try to attend those as often as I can at other cons.
Saturday was crazy what with the heat, and I didn't even know that the parade was going to be open to the public. I give credit to the suiters, because I was damn hot in the shade and not wearing a fursuit, even.
Saturday night was when I got as close to white girl wasted as possible, thanks to
and
and their skittles vodka. :D That was another epic night of really just chilling around and chatting for about seven hours. I haven't been big on liquor for a while, but hanging at Tonic with the Sergal as well as Saturday with the Tigs and Wolf kinda made me realize I've been going about it the wrong way and I gotta give some things second chances.
Sunday was a bit shorter and chaotic where I said goodbye to whoever I could run into before 2pm, and I even got to chill with :coopertom: out of suit for a little bit and crack some jokes. Once we were all back on the road though, I was kinda thankful I was leaving Sunday instead of Monday after all, because I passed the hell out once I got back home.
The tl;dr of this is, well, fuck, I had an awesome time, and I totally plan on doing this next year if possible and I'll just have to see who I meet at that point in time! :D MFF is the next con I've got planned, and it'll be the first one at a major con where I've booked the room; I'm a lil excited and nervous about that, but we'll see how it goes come December.

The Westin elevators! They made such a big deal about them, did they work as advertised?

Some folks started cheating and going to the Fifth floor to go up further, and I hear someone broke one of the LCD screens and Kage swore to seek vengeance, cause they have cameras and all that. >.<

Thanks! Kage made such a big deal about the new system, I wondered how it worked out. *tsk-tsk* Doesn't it always seem that the more people you have in one place, the stupider and more malevolent they get.

I so wish I could've gone to AC this year!!! It would've been so awesome to hang out with the 3 nuts (Coopertom, Scurrow, King Gourd).

Hard part is trying to find anyone there, I'd say. Middle of summer in a big city like that, I had trouble finding anyone really. D: When I ran into them it was completely by chance!

Like at least with MFF it's the middle of winter, so I expect most con attendees to be at the main hotel. :P

I love MFF to death! I actually like the bigger cons over the smaller ones since there's ALWAYS something awesome to do.
