FC 2016 Report!
10 years ago
General
Overall, a good con, with some disappointing moments.
Got to see
darknatasha , 
michelelight , 
hbruton , 
dhstein , 
skulldog , 
sidian , 
egypturnash , 
pmoss , 
Onnanoko and 
mountaingoat , and got art from all of 'em! Will be posting it as soon as I acquire a new scanner.
Spent most of the time playing/listening to Undertale with
kazen101 .
Which leads to the disappointing aspect. There was *NOTHING* Undertale-related at the con. There was supposedly 1 panel centered on this masterpiece of the game, but it wound up being something COMPLETELY unrelated, and we stayed just long enough for them to start drawing insulting caricatures of the monsters we loved. I could tell there were fans here, I saw a few folks with the Fangamer shirts (which I wore the whole con ). The one shining star in this was a few folks in Undertale character suits, which were each pretty darn good. Saw a Papyrus, Sans, Muffet, and 2 Toriels (Damn it Sans!) Only saw them during the parade, would have loved to hang out with those dedicated folks.
Secondly, FC Unleashed, the variety show they do at the end of the con each year sucked on toast. All they had were a few bands come on stage, either distantly related or not at all related to the fandom, playing equally unrelated music. My compatriot described it as sounding like he was stuck back in Nashville. While, I'm sure the bands were talented, and the music decent for it's audience, but this was not the place. This is the first time me and Kazen have walked out in the middle of the show. The music didn't even fit the Classic Diner theme of the year.
Seriously guys, one of the best video games to come out in years and years and years and years, complete with a furry cast, and you don't A. Have a Panel or a place for us fans to meet up, and B. You don't have anyone during Unleashed play the Undertale tunes? Seriously?
Okay, maybe I'm a bit Undertale-Obsessed still, but man Unleashed sucked this year.

Although if that's true it'd be pretty surprising if people actually listened
Though, they still could have had a panel or done some skits at the Variety Show referencing it. I guess it depends on how early one has to plan these things for the con.
(...Monday morning/afternoon someone started playing undertale music over the convention center speakers near the artist lounge though, that was nice)
Wish I'd seen that skit at the Dance Comp. I needed more Undertale at this con .
This year it was a bit downsized, so it was short and sweet - but still enjoyable! Supposedly; next year will be the last year he runs it - its uncertain if anyone will pick it up after that.
