EF registered and hotel booked :D
10 years ago
So we'll be there, if my health cooperates (you never know with MS, but I'm hopeful, now that I'll be starting with a new and better treatment). :) It will be my first EF, and Sayh's second (he last attended 18 years ago, when folks still had to bring their own sleeping bags, lol). Also, my new Steenbok partial ( http://www.furaffinity.net/full/18438898/ ) completely fits the "Back to the 80's" theme, so how can I NOT go?? :D We really look forward to seeing everyone there, and joining in on some group photoshoots*! :)

(*If anyone can let us know closer to the time if/when there will be shoots for Clockwork Creature, Crystumes, Nambroth, StuffedPanda, Beetlecat, Beastcub and Magpieb0nes suiters, we would deeply appreciate it! <3 We'd also love to take part in any avian/gryphon or hoofer photoshoots!)

If everything works well, I will have a table at the dealers den this year. :)

The only way to see me is EF I guess because I cant afford US cons and I cant remember seeing you there before.
I would be happy to see you too :) Seeing all the faces behind the nicknames and talking iRL :D
18 years ago? was that EF3 or EF4? EF4 was my first one...
allright. with a little luck, and not much procrastination, I'll have a fursuit for EF. maybe that helps with you being less shy around people. ^^
Plus some ancient art of his char, by Unci: http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/.....licook_tbk.gif :D
Also, enjoy the flashbacks, lol:

back when we (me and Dreamfox) decided to drive there through the night. started at 2100, arrived at the consite at 3 in the morning, took a nap, and then we saw that the consite wasn't open until 1400. so we took off to the camping lot to wait it out there.
vimeo link: first appearance of my beautiful facade at 07:50. bought that teeshirt via a metal merchandise earlier that year, imported from down under. I still have it, looking as good as ever.
the guy to the right of me is DinoEx Dipterous, our resident anime nutcase. :)
(08:20) the guy with the two huskies, I think from netherlands, had some curious to weird ideas about how to live with two sled dogs. he was often busy pushing them down into submission, frustrating the poor dogs to no end. while claiming to "be friends with his dogs" all the time. also, tried to convince one of the artists that disney's way of adding huge chins to big cats is like in nature, while actually it was Disney's way to enhance the expressions... staggered away with an empty sketchbook later.
(08:40) here I was trying to make sense of conbadges. the concept wasn't new, roleplaying cons use them too. but there they are not adorned with individual art... I came to the conclusion that being the only black-maned lion character at the con was a good idea. :)
when the super-soakers were unwrapped, the mundane folks at the back of the camping lot were finally weirded out. a family on bikes passed us without any side glance at us of any sort.
(09:55) the baldy guy is H'leven, who founded the Mephit Mini Con (MMC) a wee bit later. after some to and fro the con ended up occupying the old castle where EF7 was held. the other guy is Skunki. I'm still friends with both of them. :)
(15:50) here you can see the bottom end of my car poking out: the yellow, slightly patinized thing. I became somewhat famous for driving them old Fords here in germany...
(16:00) the stout guy in the blue tee is Dreamfox. used to provide the furries in our area with furry comics and stuff for many a year.
(36:50) drawing like crazy, making use of the atmosphere and inspiration and the not having to pack up for every meal (I draw stuff on our dinner table). :) we either distributed across the vicinity, or gathered at one of the large camping tables to molest some unsuspecting furry's sketchbook.
(37:00) the pet auction was initiated because the organisators had miscalculated how much foodstuffs would cost and went over the budget. all in all we managed to avoid any depts for the organisators. :)
(44:50) fursuitwalks across town have later become a thing, actually. :)
the guy on the left is Cairyn (who gave me a lot of useful critic a while later) and the one front right is Nobs. I still have contact with them occasionally... :)
Last year Tora pratically lived down there. It was the perfect place for a shy but creative being as her.
Hoping the best for both of you ^^
I am hoping for the next one, unless I have gotten work by then.
Sayh's last EF was 18 years ago? Things might have changed after that :D
Then we will finally meet again! I haven't seen you two for far too long.
Till then many greetings and take care.
