Post Fur the More and upcoming stuff

I think Siku urinated in someones karmic cheerios, had quite the string of bad luck at the con...but but but silver linings!
-My cooler handle snapped off the cooler but atleast it waited till I got to my room to do so!
-My box fan died after 10 years (RIP o7) the motor burned out in the middle of the night leaving this awful burnt smell. Now I can buy something with moar power! P=<
-The Croc straps in both of my feet paws suffered strap damaged now they have this awesome duct tape coating to cover up the cheesy camo pattern!
That being said I had a fairly decent time at the convention. I got off work 7 am Friday morning and drove up to Tysons Corner, a pretty easy drive till I hit 495. Parking was a bit of a nightmare, took me about 20 minutes of circling around the hotel and in their parking garage to find a space. The room was pretty sweet, its the first hotel I've seen in a while that still had mini refrigerators! I've been pining for them ever since I got my cooling vest so I would not have to keep the cooler stocked with ice water. Unfortunately the mini fridge is just awful at recharging my packs! Oh well, cooler country does fine. I had the room to myself this time around, I booked this trip last minute and the people I asked could not arrange time off on such short notice. I was fortunate to run into a handful of local furs though, so I did mange to find some company and got to play with some new furs as well. ^^
First hit the conspace around 3 pm with the Siku shell game I had been working on. That went over pretty well, did not take me long to empty the initial candy bowl and people were enjoying it. I'm thinking about revamping it for AC but will see what happens. I pretty much stuck to the Siku shell table most of the first day. It got spiced up a little by Napoleon stealing the candy dish, boy that guy can run! I chased him all over the hotel and got lost. Fell asleep around 9 pm having been up 26 hours. Woke up at 3 am to the burnt fan smell, I had a pretty big panic I thought somehow some Siku fur got burnt. >< After managing to settle down again I woke up around 7 from some vivid nightmares bleh!
It snowed Saturday morning, I had an awesome view of it from my hotel window. Most of Saturday was spent free roaming around the Zoo in suit. I did want to catch the movie showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show but missed it. I did manage to meet up for dinner with some local furs I had not seen in a while, that was nice. There was some frustration with the dance, con staff were not allowing people in with bags. They did make an exception for my camel back but I had to get it checked by medical first. I was also informed that I would have to get it rechecked every time I wanted to enter the dance. It was too much of a hassle so I took it off after my first break.
DJNeko showed up to do a music set from 1 am to 2 am, he did a pretty good job. He seemed much more animated than the previous DJ and the music seemed better to dance to overall. I'm not really good with genres, can't describe it very well.
Sad day was Sunday! I only had a room for two nights and was under the impression there was no dead dog since the schedule cut off after closing ceremonies. I had arranged for a late checkout Sunday and technically had my room till 4 pm but emptied it out by 2 pm. Spent the rest of my time around the con in partial, it felt so gooood, barely any sweat. I've been throwing around the idea of getting arm Sleeves for Siku but partialing him doesnt feel right. Its odd but I feel like my sense of balance is thrown off when I'm not wearing the body suit, could be just what I'm used to. One of the new friends I made at the con brought Siku a box of bacon from the hotel restaurant, that was a sweet surprise xD
Left the con around 3 pm and made it home shortly after 8 pm. I unpacked Siku and set him up with the Hangair to dry while I crashed hard from fatigue. It was kind of a repeat of Saturday morning, woke up around 3 am and fell asleep again around 10 am. It was pretty poor, I'd sleep maybe 40 minutes then wake up from some weird vivid dreams. I think its my third shift sleep schedule conflicting with convention sleeping schedule, either way I'm going to be exhausted at work tonight. ^^
I would like to visit FTM again next year, its a pretty cheap con to do and the drive isn't terrible. Next time fuzzies. o/
