There is a spatula in my bathroom (Post Fangcon)

Bawrk fuzzies,
Finally have a few spare conscious moments to put a con report together.
Overall I had a pretty good time and would love to attend next year. I think things went rather well considering their RV caught on fire and they lost a bunch of stuff. Thank you to all the people that were working frantically behind the scenes to keep things together. The convention really helped shake away a bad funk I've been in for the past two months, I hope its gone for good, I was pretty miserable.
The new hotel was nice, con space was cramped but we were informed at closing ceremonies if we hit enough pre-registations for 2016 they can buy a huge space so we wont all be cramped in the hallways. I heard some people were having problems with hotel staff but I did not have any personally. I recall an elevator issue the first day, heard some people got stuck in one when the doors wouldn't open, which sucks. Lines never got terrible but when I was going down for closing ceremonies they were making some awful noises so I took the stairs anyway.
I clocked a healthy amount of fursuit time, the hallway design of the con helped me find lots of people to play with. Want to thank all the random furries that play with Siku, its you guys that really bring him to life and I love all that positive energy and smiles going both ways, thanks so much. <3
Siku's paws got a healthy coating of grease from the escalators, fortunately Eddie Bear hooked me up with a quick scrub session and they looked good again.
Met up with lots of old friends from last year which was nice, made some new ones too and bumped noses with alot of folks from the triangle. We had quite a huge showing, at-least 42 people from the TaF group were RSVPed to attend.
Gemini surprised me early on with a giant bacon plushy and wolf scarf, its so greasy and good. T__T
The fursuiting panel went over really well, Kanyus and Edgewise were super helpful! The scheduling was a little crazy, we got moved from room 4A to 6 which turned out to be the headless lounge. Then we were offered space in another room which turned out to be occupied so we took over the main stage room for a little bit then got moved again. We had a good time though and did not seem to lose alot of people between room transitions.
Sunday night as the con dwindled down I froliced down to the conspace but they were already packing up things. I ended up helping them play tetris trailer and haul stuff up deep into the bowels of the hotel, it was fun. ^^ Hwrrr.
TLDR: I drank too much, slept too little, and bounced around in suit till I got blisters on my toeses. 10/10 would con again
Bawrk,
Siku
PS: There really is a spatula in my bathroom, its still there, I just checked. o.O
