WOW, SUPER AMAINGLY LATE ANTHROCON REPORT W O W!!!
10 years ago
TuesdayGot up around 6 am, and prepared for yet another adventure. Got over to the airport, got checked in and said goodbye to mom as I prepared for my first flight alone. Got through security and headed to my gate as I waited for a bit for my plane and boarded. Soon after we were in the air! Ran into quite a bit of turbulence due to the thick clouds approaching Pennsylvania. x3 At last I had arrived in Philly for Day -1! I got off and went to go collect my bags. I met up with Ben as he helped me with my bags. We took a train (which I had never been on) into the city where we got an Uber back to his apartment. We chilled there for a bit then decided to explore the city. We rode on the city bus (which I had also not ridden before) then went underground to the Subway (yet again, never been on) and took it into the city. We got lunch then went and saw a movie. Soon after we took a bus back to his apartment to cool off (I am not use to Philly heat @.@) a bit then met his parents for dinner and soon after hung out with them for a bit at their house. We then walked back to his apartment and went to bed.WednesdayMe and Ben got up around 6, got ready, and called an Uber to get to the Megabus(yet again, another type of transportation I have never been on! Wow!). We almost missed it due to traffic, but made it in time. And thus, our 6 hour journey to Pittsburgh began! We slept a lot along the way and took 2 rest stops. Soon we arrived at the convention center around 1 something and immediately ran into several friends and roomies. We unpacked in our room, then took a trip with 
and 
downtown and for lunch. It started to rain so we went back to the convention center where we chilled and walked around till later that night and visited 
and 
’s room. There, Ben proceeded to get extremely drunk until he passed out in our room which doesn’t need any further explanation xD
ThursdayAfter reviewing last night’s beautiful shenanigans, we got cleaned up and went to check the pre-reg line. It was insanely long, so me and Ben decided to go grab lunch since all of our roomies were out. We also ended up having a hard time finishing our food due to him putting on several plays of “what’s new pussycat” in the jukebox. (if you’ve listened to “the salt and pepper diner” then you know what we’re on about LOL) After the nice meal and a walk through downtown, we got back to the hotel. We met up and hung out with various people for the rest of the afternoon, walked around and chilled in the room. We eventually made our way back down to pre-reg since the line died down and got our badges. Afterwards, we went up to 
’s room and chilled before going to 
’s set! It was awesome, after we went up to his suite and chilled with him which marked the end of an awesome day.
FridayStarted off getting a nice lunch with Ben and 
since we woke up so late. Went back to the room and chilled a bit while Ben worked on a mix for a friend. After we rushed down to the dance comp prelims to watch. After that, we went to a party for a bit before proceeding to meet up with a large group of friends and got dinner. There, we proceeded to buy 14 plays of what’s new pussycat again… and one it’s not unusual. xD When we got back, we had an impromptu room party then proceeded to dipset around Pittsburgh at 4 am until we all passed out. :P
SaturdayToday was a day of nervousness and excitement. Got up early to prepare and get in suit for the fursuit parade while Ben got in drag. When we were ready, we went on down and I got on in for the picture. When it was over I tried to find him for the parade but I completely lost him but still managed to make it through the whole parade without tripping due to my suit’s poor vision. After I went up to my room to relax and prepare for the most nerve-racking thing I’ve done: Floor Wars. Time flew by and before I knew it, me and the rest of my roomies headed down to floor wars. It felt so different being on the performing side with everyone else rather than the audience. After hoping that we wouldn’t be, me and 
ended up going out first against Trent and Riiya. Though our team got knocked out quickly, I was more concerned on making a decent first impression. I got so many people telling me that I did good for just going out there. Watching everyone go out there was amazing. After floor wars, I went to go recover in my room for a little bit before meeting up with 
We walked around a bit. Shortly after, I met back up with roomies and we all went to the dance for a bit. After, we went back up to our room and passed out.
SundayGot up and immediately went to explore the dealer’s den. Picked up a shirt before heading down to the dance comp. Everyone there was so amazing! After all the dancers went out to the chinese buffet for dinner and gathered together. After we took a wonderful group shot and headed back to the con space for a cypher! We got moved quickly to the hotel space since the con was coming to an end, but I had to go back to my room to charge my phone. Ended up hanging out with Smudge, Dalmy and Kai. We all had a very great time and before you knew it, went to bed.Monday Me and Ben headed back to Philly around 4 something and chilled before my flight. Unfortunately us airways is bad and got me into a whole mess that made me have to take a flight the next day. >.< I made it home in one piece and had a wonderful experience at AC, and that’s all that matters.
