Rainfurrest! - Quick runthrough of my con/charm commis info
10 years ago
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
I had a great RF2015! I saw many friends again, and met a lot of great new people. I took the con crud home with me and feel like shit, not to mention recovering the the amount of booze I drank over the whole con. I had many jello shots, rum, and mlp sippy cups full of skittle vodka, thanks to the free skittles from the skittle fox. XD
Many cubs ran around drunk and on drugs, while at "diaperoke" (yes, Rainfurrest is such a goddamn cub con that the karaoke was renamed but it's appropriate cause most of the singing was comparable to the sound of a diaper being shit in) and the host got wasted while doing it, and ended up deciding the panel was no longer PG and that we needed music about "doing in the pooper" which I found hilarious to sit back and watch it all go down.
The cub party in one room got so big they had to be shut down when 80+ cubs/caretakers gathered in one hotel room. As much as Gene hated to disappoint the cubs and end the party he let us in on his little plan to rent out a full floor of the hotel for AnthroCon for an unofficial cubcon! Rub that in Kage's face! XD
We celebrated
kitfoxx's birthday, which I brought homemade rainbow cupcakes for, and of course I made a charm badge for the birthday boy. (pics soon) :3
We played "Gemma Jenga" super late one of the nights by piling foam blocks onto the sleeping baby

Ate lots of 7/11, a little bit of, Ihop, and Hawaiian BBQ, and washed it down with many gallons of alcohol. I don't want a diet like that again until next Rainfurrest. DX
My friend and roomie
shadekoba performed in the variety show, playing Whistle Stop/The Hamster Dance. I was able to get a good seat to watch thanks to
coolsquirrel who saved me a seat in the front row. :3 (no videos on youtube yet)
I stayed with
shadekoba
obanik &
thedoxfox and we all had a good time despite mostly running off to do our own things. We had a couple people crap out on us last minute and one who just didn't show up after saying she would be there the next day, but our room got paid for so I am happy. Just frustrated with how unreliable some furries can be, but I shouldn't be expecting any better by now.
I hung out with so many great people, so many things happened in such a short time, I've still not even fully adjusted my mindset of being back home to normal life.
I passed out a whole bunch of paw print charms to everyone I knew, or people I made a connection with or spent any time with, or just felt deserved one during this con. Also I'm VERY SORRY if you ended up getting one of the charms that came off the pin. I put a bunch of them together fast at the last minute. Next year I'll be prepared and I'll have the time to properly secure all the pins. If you still have your pin and wish to secure it yourself, I would suggest a tiny amount of gorilla glue or super glue to hold it in place.
As for the charm badges, the response from the friends who received them, as well as everyone else at the con was way more than I ever could have expected. I'm so glad that all my friends loved them, I couldn't have asked for a better reaction. To those who were interested in commissioning me; THANK YOU! I have heard you and will be taking commissions very soon. I'm still working out the details for pricing. The charms take me anywhere from 4-6 hours to complete depending on detail and any extra additions added. I want to offer a fair, and affordable price, but also want to make sure the time and effort I put into creating your custom character charm is worth my while too.
If you didn't end up running into me at RF2015 and don't know what I'm talking about, just wait and expect to see pictures of the charm badges I made for Rainfurrest very soon.
If the charm badges become a success (and so far they seem like they have a high potential to be)I will attempt to try and get myself into the Artist's Alley for next year at RF2016! Possibly something in the art show too.
Keep an eye out for the charm badge pics, and journals for commissions. When I open commissions I'll most likely only be taking a few slots at a time, so not to overwhelm myself, keep track, and avoid burnout.
See you all at RF2016!
