RMFC Report.
10 years ago
It's been a hell of a ride for a first con.
Friday:
Missed the opening ceremonies, unfortunately, so I'll have to remember to pre-reg next year. I had the nervous skitters for a while but a couple fursuit hugs in kinda abated that. I went to a bunch of panels, wandered about, made an absolute ass of myself at the So You Think You Can Sing It? panel (and made a joke so bad my friend Kitten gagged me with her tail and stuffed me in her cleavage to shut me up.) then went and dropped a little info at the Singles panel in hopes of meeting some new folks, then danced for a little, then went home.
Saturday:
Got there right around the Fursuit Parade and was amazed by all of the fluffies and the friendliness thereof. Many hugs and a little candy was had. <3 Then I went to the Fur Your Entertainment panel and stood until 2 Gryphon was done. Had so many laughs. After that, I met up with someone I've known online for yeeears and a good friend of hers, and we hung out the rest of the night. We danced, fooled around like derps, walked about, and got many hugs from the both of them. Super eager to see them again. <3
Sunday:
We got there around 10 AM. I was really feeling the con tiredness and the lack of meds (forgot them at home) at this point. Thankfully, the fluffies were still in abounds, I got even more accustomed to the hospitality and kindness of the fandom, and sadly had to leave early as I'm driving home after I post this. Sadly, this is where the inevitable horror story takes place. I managed to lose my $400 iPod Touch outside the apartment complex my roomies were letting me stay in. By the time I realized it and went back to look for it, it had already been long, long gone. And I far from have the funds to replace it. Overall though, I feel like the weekend was a resounding success. I loved it so much, and can't wait to go to RMFC again next year. <3
Highlights:
-Buying my first legitimate and gorgeous tail and ear set from A Touch Of Madness.(Pics later)
-Meeting my friend Sev and making a new friend in their newb, Dawn
-Getting to chat and hug and get to know 2 Gryphon a lot, as his work has helped me through so much lately.
-Hugging, kissing, and giving bellyrubs to the Telephone. Her suit is just ungodily adorable and I got the opportunity to meet her out of suit as well, just as kind and sweet as ever.
-Winning a gorgeous purple, silver, and black scale collar from a nice lady selling in the silent auction. She was even gracious enough to lengthen it for me as it was too small for my neck.
=Meeting a lovely science tiger in Minaimz and his gorgeous blackbirb friend. He even gave me an absolutely beautiful collar out of the kindness of his heart when I didn't have anything to hang my badge off of.
-Experiencing my first Dance Competition. It really motivated me to get fit, and I'd love to participate sometime.
-Hugging a certain lion at the con who smelled amazingly of cookie dough. Such a nice guy <3
-Meeting a very kind and humble Rabbit made by Eris Valgen. First suiter to actually ask my name, which is a little thing, but it made me smile so much.
-Getting to finally meet and get to know the folks from Sparkle Creations. Amazing people, kind hearts, gorgeous suits, and truly wonderful sense of humor.
-A gentleman named David, carrying around a giant die and a paper fan and hosting one of the most hilarious and fun little hall games ever. PUNISHMENT TIMEUUU!
-The various cute and hilarious repetitions of the infamous Shia Labeouf "JUST DO IT" meme.
-Probably a lot more, but i sadly can't remember it all right now as a lot of it is still processing. But believe me, if I saw and interacted with you, you made the experience better. <3
And that's about it. First ever fur con, and I think I'm hooked. Now, to get a suit and pre-reg for RMFC 2016...
