We Miss Yinz Already

I'm not one for writing con reports, but I had to give a shout out to everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in attendance at Anthrocon 2015. You made this weekend the most fun I've had at a con in years, even with PennDOT closing off I-376, the resulting bottleneck traffic in the Fort Pitt Tunnel, the long detour through Carnegie (whose only inhabitants seem to be elderly Ukrainians and Italians), and the shorter but scarier detour along a (literally) crumbling road through the hills of Crafton.
The locals seem to have gotten over their initial suspicion of us, and are now seeing Anthrocon as Pittsburgh's very own Mardi Gras. They've certainly embraced the fursuit parade as an unofficial local holiday, an estimated 5,000 civilians turning out to watch 1,460 'suiters in AC's first-ever public parade.
As for
flatrat and I, we received such generous, positive, and encouraging feedback from our friends, fans, and fellow artists that we soon shitcanned our initial idea that this might be our last appearance at AC. Y'all rock!

so glad you decided not to call it a curtain call at this appearance at AC. And specifically I thank you for the Ricardo drawing.I`ll post it when I get back to Arizona and have something besides this laptop. Not many computer supplies or any internet at my 92 year old grandmas I`m staying at for the week.

It is, after all, required of all Furry fans that they make the pilgrimage to Furry Mecca once in their lives. I'll do my best to make it.

I had an excellent time. Also, gave some of your reviews a vote up.
