Eurofurence has been and gone, and I actually managed to attend this year!

Overall it was a good convention, and extra-long this time as I took both early arrival and late departure. Despite the early arrival there was already a good atmosphere on arrival as quite a few people had arrived before the early arrivals date. I probably would have started fursuiting right away to greet the people as the arrived, but unfortunately the area outside the main door was always full of people smoking and I really don't want my fursuit to smell of smoke.

My roommate was :wruf: this year - it was very handy to be going with someone who had been there before and already know their way around. I spent most of my time fursuiting, as usual. It was good except for the comments of a minority of people that really brought me down, and I caught the con crud immediately upon arrival so I was slightly ill for the entire convention. I made some new LED lights for this year and they worked out very well, much more robust than the old ones, as well as being brighter. The lithium battery I ordered didn't arrive in time so I had to a bit of on-site soldering to make it run on AAs, but it turned out fine and one set of AAs lasted most of the con.

It was fun to meet some old friends as well as make some new ones, I just wish I'd managed to find time for a tea party :P
