Made it Home - RMFC Recap
10 years ago
Holy shit guys. This con. This con was one of the absolute greatest experiences I've ever had in my life. This was my fourth furcon, but it was the first time that I actually came out of my shell and got to meet and hang out with new people. So, I think it's time for a short recap, if anything so I can get it all sorted out in my head XD
I arrived in Denver on Tuesday night, where 
purplefloyd picked me up from the airport and let me sleep on his couch. We spent Wednesday playing lazer tag and arcade games, had a ton of fun. Thursday we left early for Denver and made a detour to Estes Park and the Stanley Hotel on the way - it was absolutely beautiful and I saw a mother black bear and two cubs on the way! We arrived in the afternoon, checked in, and had kind of an awkward situation with the random guy we were supposed to room with... Basically he ended up finding another room to crash in because it turned out we weren't able to get a cot.. But honestly I was pretty relieved.
Friday was spent bouncing around the con doing a little bit of everything. I spent some money in the Dealer's Den, got a 
wolf-nymph commission which I should be receiving in the next couple weeks, bought a 
Rukis book that I'll be reading later, and bid on a piece in the art show. I was introduced to the incredibly fun and amazing 
sebastianfox, as well as 
mehi, 
lozey, 
leenaVB, and some others. I got to spend some time fursuiting and just getting a feel for the con.
Saturday was a freaking blast. I was in the fursuit parade, and was introduced to 
dezzy.bayn and 
nimjongil, who are both amazing. purplefloyd, sebastianfox, dezzy.bayn and I attended a couple fun panels and just hung out around the con. After various shenanigans, bouncing around the con and with different people, and after cramming 7 people in a sedan to go to dinner, we went to a sort of almost room party in Dezzy and Nim's room. After getting pretty inebriated we were invited to another room party, which we were shortly kicked out of just because of some miscommunication between the hosting roommates. Sebastian and I ended up wandering around on our own for a while and had a blast dancing, talking to random strangers, and playing Mortal Kombat. I can't even keep straight everything that happened on Saturday, but it was ridiculously fun.
Sunday was a little more low-key. We had breakfast with the folks from the night before, as well as 
sharpiesabre, 
sugiguardian and 
snowleo. Most of the day was spent hanging out with people either in our room, as we were one of the only ones who booked through Sunday night, or out in the atrium. It was a bittersweet day. We let Sebastian crash in our room for the night and stayed up hella late in the atrium with mehi and Sugi just hugging fursuiters and keeping an eye on creepers.
Monday we had breakfast with the remaining stragglers, and then checked out. I spent the rest of the day hanging out with Seb, Floyd and his roommates, before crashing on his couch one more night. Saying goodbyes that night and then this morning really sucked. I had such a wonderful time at this con, and met so many wonderful and amazing people, I never wanted to leave. This is going to sound super cheesy but for the first time in a very long time I felt like I actually belonged somewhere, and almost as though I had found my people XD Being back in California almost feels wrong. I am going to make every effort to ensure I can make it back to RMFC next year, even though it is a bit of a journey for me. The people there make it absolutely worth it. I'm also going to try and make sure purplefloyd and sebastianfox can join me for FC 2016. In the meantime, the post-con depression is very real, and I need to find ways to keep myself occupied until the next one.
