Wow definitely in my top 3 list of best cons of all time.
THURSDAY
Started off with an awesome trip down with thundercolt and Xavier WHAT IS YOUR FA U POOPIDO CANADOGZU Which turned into an epicly hysterical visit with the border and a few short visits for gas, then we CANNONBALLED our way to the con! But not before going on an exasperated search for antiperspirant and acquiring some epic steak n shake (MMMM GRILLED CHEESE STEAK BURGER???? CANADA TAKE A HINT) and the con was off to a great start.
Quickly ran into and NOODLEZU'D THE doryuu PUPPY IN HIS NEW DOGGO HUAAAAA and proceeded to throw Coffee Crisp at various roommates in the suite (note: bring 3x as much coffee crisp next time to avoid POSSUMS EATING IT ALL UGH LOL) First night was an epicly awesome romp of finding people and jumping around and I managed to leave my roomkey IN MY FRIGGIN ROOM but thanks to the sweethearts i miss already  flit  anthro_fox  limbershadow Akki and Ben and friends, I had quite the comfortable little corner and a lovely pillow to rest my head in their room.

FRIDAY
I managed my way back to my room Friday morning, freshened up and began patrolling the con, and after meeting, hugging and softcore humping some precious babzu pups COUGH  smilingsammi I quickly found momma  cynical-sergal and then  yellowbeachfox where we paraded into chipotle and NOMMED INTO THE SUNSET while I drank my first ever Dos Equis (actually pretty great tbh) and finally found BUTTSHARK and then after sewing my tail on my butt and downing some alcomohawls courtesy of the booty shark (delivery service available! lol) I finally suited up and noodled about with mama! Prelims were pretty relaxed for me this time around, and I enjoyed the chance to compete! I was kind of glad not to be entered into the dance competition; I had my fun performing on stage and it took quite a bit of stress off my shoulders to be free'd of any more responsibilities for the con. BUT NOT BEFORE FINISHING MY SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT WORTH 30% OF MY MARK LIKE AN HOUR BEFORE THE ONLINE SUBMISSION CLOSED HAHAHAHHAHA Which, I got 90% on and my teacher said I did a very good job SOMEHOW LOL either way so happy I got to spend time with Cyn/Willow and WE DID HOMEWORK TOGETHER LOL AREN'T WE SO GROSSLY CUTE After all this homework buzzniss we quickly found got the party started and HAD AN EPIC TIME AT THE DANCE LOL
_{shout out to random dude in a business suit (NOT a fursuit) creepishly tripped out looking just hitting on chicks left right and centre LOL}
The rest of the night was a hilarious combination of UNDENIABLE AWKWARDNESS followed by a HILARIOUS JOURNEY OF TASKS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED, successfully remaining together in a group of 6 -7 for over 5 HOURS (UNHEARD OF WITH MY ATTENTION SPAN) and only ACCIDENTALLY WALKING INTO THE WRONG SUITE (Y'all brits and australians in the other suite on the 9th floor were awesome by the way, I'd love to accidentally stop by and share drinks with you next year!) and holding a successful trippadelic art jam in the lobby with beers scattered all over the place and police at the door not noticing a single damn thing. T'was a great adventure, I miss you all so much <3

SATURDAY
Woke up in suit in my chair bed, grabbed a cup o water and my room key, and quickly started ripping the con apart by 11AM. Found Willow and Tek_Fox <--- DO YOU EVEN FA LOL and we actually managed to successfully get drunk and GO EAT SUSHI (con bucket list achievement unlocked YESSSS) came back to con, TRIED NOT TO SWEAR AT THE ANGEL DRAGON MEET LOL SORRY MAMA and then proceeded to get exceptionally drunk. Drunken showers with dance music of choice are always one of my fave things at a con, perfectly followed by a cat bathinsuit and a tutu to get the night going. Pissed the heck out of the guy sitting infront of me at floor wars (I WAS REALLY HYPED AND I WASN'T IN THE FIRST ROW UGH) Ended up going to  recca_sen_li's set, falling off the stage and taking a light with me, and then 5 minutes after leaving his set, getting all upset thinking I missed it LOLOLOL Drunk otter had great time, got ID'd randomly with by con staff loooool but all was well.

SUNDAY
WOKE UP WITHOUT A HANGOVER YAAAAAAAH Dance comp was epic, so much great talent and made me cry like a wee babe with those feels. Ate sum sandwiches, spilled some water, cried sum more, then before I knew it I was eating orange peels aggressively beside Beach and  nitrox. Fast forward to trying frantically to relocate the duct tape and painters suit i forgot at the dance the night before, FOUND IT, began to duct tape buttshark while getting aggressively drunk off the birthday bottle of hypnotic, and couldn't even finish what I had started before Polaris comes over with a full blown ICE CREAM BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SNAPBACK" WRITTEN ON IT, I cried, I ate cake, I taped more, the cake was melting so we WENT ON A MISSION TO DELIVER THE CAKE TO WORTHY SOULS LIKE AND FRIENDS and who didn't even eat it when it was ice cream but DRINKING CAKE IS GOOD TOO LOL Ended up finding my way into a room with ALL OF THE SQUAKING BABES IN IT hugged lots, gave lots of otter keeses, until I got summoned back to finished what I started. 2 hours after starting the dtd on buttshark, we finally completed and cut him out!!!! The rest of the night was fun noodling and dancing and late night suiting and 4AM TRIPS TO STEAK N SHAKE WITH BEACH AND  gummy-sweet and then almost passing out on the carpet and finally sleeping kind of.

Thank you Maad for picking me up from the bus station afterwards and rubbing my back while I eat pizza and admire the new xmas swag
And thank you everyone, for having kind hearts, open minds, and forgiving souls. This weekend woke me up, gave me life, and sent me home with a warmth in my heart. I miss you all so dearly, but will MOST DEFINITELY BE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY TRYING AS HARD AS I POSSIBLY CAN TO KEEP IN TOUCH because for some reason although its not actually that hard it somehow takes the power of 9000 suns to get me to regularly text BUT NOW I HAVE HARVESTED THAT POWER AND WILL BEAM ON INTO THE SUNSET OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Most important thing I learned from this con: If you need to get shit done, if you don't want to loose people in the pack, if you need to pull distracted people away and keep them on task, always trust in MISSION MODE. How to use: Simply chant, in group fashion, "MISSION MODE, MISSION MODE..." while proudly charging to your next objective.

I'm telling you, if it worked for me (not sober in any way) it can work for anyone. I have faith.


Thanks for an amazing weekend Chicago, I can't wait to see you next year!
How was your con? :3
