Late RMFC con report

General
Quick journal here to talk about my time Rocky Mountain Fur Con: IT WAS AWESOME.
This was pretty special for me as it was my first con out of state. I've also been a bit of a rough patch emotionally, so getting to a fur con was just the environment I needed. There's always such a wealth of fun and creativity, it's impossible to feel down.
My main concern before going to Denver, however, was if I would know anyone there. I already knew the guys from Rabbit Valley would be there, and was looking forward to finally meeting them, but beyond that I wasn't sure. I get a bit nervous when making new friends and can over analyze how I come across to people at first meet.
That ended up not being a problem in the least. I actually new a fair amount of furs there, mostly the lovely FurPlanet staff, so big shout outs to Teiran and Zia for saying hi and talking. Sean and Andrew from Rabbit Valley were a blast to hang out in the dealer den and Sunday night as well. I also went to a number of writing panels and was please to make acquaintances with Rob Baird, who is a fine gentlemen and good panel organizer.
And of course, big hugs to the Austin furry group who was there, you are all crazy and fun.
I also made friends with a few random people. Met a really sweet girl on Friday night who was at her first furry con; we ended up having dinner together once we realized both of us were eating alone. We talked for probably an hour or so, before going to the dance and having a grand time. It's these kind of chance run ins that really make cons fun for me.
And oh I got some awesome commissions. On the advice of Zia, I had a few pieces done by Mitty, all which turned out great; my favorite had to two badges for my dogs, Sundae and Melanie. She captured them perfectly. I also commissioned a bookmark, which ended up being a collab with her and three other artist, it's so beautiful.
All that said, I really should have just done a Sunday night flight, I was so tired by Monday, the trip home was exhausting. But it was a great con and i'll for sure be going back next year
