post con report: Furpocalypse
10 years ago
wow. what a great con. i barely know where to begin on this one.
game room:
it started with a little concern for Arek, who i saw alone in a completely empty game room thursday night looking like he had to set everything up himself! i wish i had the time to have helped him out, but i was already there for a reason and couldn't break that plan. despite that he did a great job handling the game room. i had a great time throughout the weekend at it between Steel battalion (thanks to Salun for bringing it), Gon' E-Choo! (thanks to Ante for both developing it, and bringing it! buy it on steam :V http://store.steampowered.com/app/384990/ ), and smash bros, which i brought controllers and controller adapter for the room, that got plenty of use. :>
con space:
people loved my gryphon fusion t-shirt almost as much as my fursuit! XD its a good thing i commute, so i was able to take it home and wash it so i could wear it both friday and sunday :D
so many people wanted hugs and photos and to say hi, and interact with me! it was a wonderful boost to my self esteem. i think i really needed that about now, too, so thanks to everyone who made me feel like a welcomed part of the con experience.
my sphero went over well, too. people really enjoyed it and i had a lot of fun driving it around :D
this was my first furpoc with the bird call, and after having nearly 8 months to learn how to use it, i really had an impressive range and i got all around positive reactions to it! i wanted to break away from the traditional 'squeaker' sound, and i feel like i pulled that off very well. :>
events:
i got pretty lucky this year!
first prize in apples to apples tournament
first prize fursuit games
semifinals grab bag 64 tournament [thanks to Yoshils for hosting that!] i felt bad leaving a bit early, but i wanted to socialize more around the con, and i was surprised by how long i'd already stayed in the tourney to begin with!
win or lose, i always have fun at these events, and was glad to participate again this year!
final:
i met so many old friends, made some new ones, and i had a wonderful time all around! i wish i could name them all here but that would honestly be a daunting and time consuming task to make sure i didnt leave anyone out! most of you already know who you are anyway :D
future cons: i dont know if i'm going to be doing ANE or Anthrocon, or both, but right now it seems likely that i will be doing at least one, and leaning towards AC.
