MY FIRST CON (TEXAS FURRY FIESTA 2016)
9 years ago
Alright so TFF was my first con EVER, sadly I could only go one day and it was on Sunday when most people were running short on stock in the Dealers Den by then (boohoo I know) BUT, I was able to thankfully get to see everyone I wanted to see, buy what I wanted to buy (except a con shirt cause they ran out of 3xls and I didn't wanna have to pay for shipping and all that at the con and instead wanted to do it online but they said they didn't do that, weh). Sadly Miupix got the flu two days prior so we all missed that treasure BUT his lovely assistant and Gunmouth were greatly running the Clubstripes booth and I bought two posters, a Chibi Nero fig, and all of Gunmouths books and some of his buttons and such! :D Walked around Dealers Den and discovered more awesome merch, and I wanna give Oxygen Impulse full credit for having this super cute Umbreon charm that glowed in the dark and I knew my friend would just LOVE it since he loves him some umbreon especially when its all glowy hehe she also had a bunch of super cute buttons and I picked up a cool Midna one :D Then after shopping walked around and got some cool autographs on my white playmat I had and just about everyone wanted to doodle on it which made me ecstatic! Went over to the video game room where everyone and their mother was playing Smash, Soul Calibur, and Streetfighter, but the party really went crazy with Mario Party in the corner lol I was disheartened that the down escalator went down but hey its just stairs you walked down so thats not back considering if it was the other way ALL the fursuiters woulda been sweating all over even more lol Was really nice seeing such a diverse community together like that though, there seemed some people who were at the hotel were a little confused or wierded out but they weren't with the hotel for the con so WHATEVS RIGHT? Everyone looked like they were having the times of their lives, smiles and laughs everywhere, lots of good talk I overheard, con staff seemed super nice and helped me with first time registration as I was a total nooby lol I was only there five hours sadly cause my feet were killing me but boy what a fun five hours, hoping next year I can come back on day one and see the fursuit parade and bring a camera, glad I prepped everything else so well, I thought 100 would get me by but I'm glad my gut said go with 200 cash and boy howdy I'm glad I did xD
