Sic transit gloria mundi. Acta Est Fabula, Plaudite
Hey everyone
Well back from Kitacon 2016 (An anime convention held here in the UK in Birmingham).
Before this event I was beginning to flag on conventions in general ( to the point where I actually nearly didn't go to this one ). I think for me these events were beginning to lose some of the shine. They are, at least in my mind, made to be social events where people of the same interests can come together, hang out, make new friends - the problem with the last couple I had been to it was nothing like that.
Kitacon has changed that for me.
I met many wonderful people, some of whom were fellow furs too which was fantastic! The atmosphere was great, the planning spot on and the drama kept out and away from the general population (as it should be!). Even those not attending the event and were either staying at the hotel or at another non related convention were generally very cool and curious about what was going on.
I was thinking this might have been my last con when I went, but not I want to do more than ever! I want to really try do a cosplay too now - I am losing weight and I am feeling in the right place for it (The overall goal to one day own a fursuit myself!).
So I guess I will ask you all - do you know of any good Furry Cons in the UK/EU? Any which you might recommend?
Answers on a postcard ;D

Uhm, dunno where I was trying to go with that. A simple "I missed you so here's a hug" would have probably worked but, you know, that's not how Nikita rolls. Glad to have my chat buddy back here on the site. As far as cons in Europe go, I could not help you. I know there's Eurofurence or whatever it's called but I think it's in Germany.
Come stateside and I'll give you a tour of a country that feels it is rich in history, but only goes back 200-something years. (I am not insulting my country, just joking about how we think we have a lot of history and there are toilets in Europe older than our country...ok another exagger...)
SHUT UP NIKITA.
Glad the con went well. Kthnx bai.
