Late WTFur 2016 recap
9 years ago
"You don't become Hokage to be acknowledged by everyone.The one who is acknowledged by everyone becomes Hokage." Itachi Uchiha(To Naruto) Naruto,vol 58
I know I'm late for this,but better late then never,there's a small recap of my WTFur 2016 weekend.
I was on vacation the week preceding the con so I had the time to prepare my bag and cosplays.
Friday(May 20th):
Cosplay :Itachi Uchiha(Anbu) with fox ears and tail
On Friday I went alone because my friend was working today.After putting on part of my cosplay and makeup I waited in the line for the registration room to open.I also met with Merikk who delivered the badges I commioned to her.It was a pleasure to commision her.It opened at ten.Since I was pre-registered (Since November) I could pick up my badge at that time.After I got my badge and program,I went to eat breakfest at the hotel's restaurant.
I tried their breakfest buffet and took a slice of french toast,scrambled eggs,bacon and hashed Brown potatoes,with a glass of Cranberry juice.After the meal and after paying the bill,I went to the looby to hang out with a few fellow furs before to head to main con area.In the artist alley near the entrance of the Dealer's den,I met with Catmonkshiro and Nyomi(who I would commision later.).I spent most of the day in the Dealer's den and artist alley,picked up and paying commisions I had pre-order,placing other commisions(,and talk to artists.I also registered for O-Kemono's Super Smash Bros tournament and delivered my donations for the charity auction:The complete set of Star Wars Episode 7 cups from Subway and three MLP Happy Meal figures from the set that was released last winter.I also got the chance to talk with Dan Raccoon.I also met JaSonic and said hello to him.
At the end of the day,I headed home and prepared my things for the next day.
Saturday(May 21)
Cosplay linup:Sasuke Uchiha(Taka)
This time,my friend joined me for the weekend,While my friend was waitng for the registeration room to open,(He was pre registered as well.),I went to Talmak's "First convention" panel for a few minutes before heading to the Dealers' den where I would meet with my friend,get a few commisions I had payed for the day before and make new ones.My friend and I attended the fursuit animatronic panel before to eat lunch at the hotel's restaurant.The waiteress that served us was the same then last year.The restaurant's bacon cheeseburger and curled fries were delicious.
We returned to the dealer's den afterwards,before to find a spot to watch the fursuit parade.I returned to the dealer.sden and artist alley before to go the photography room and later attend the "Espionage 101" panel.
I did one last trip to Artist alley to pick up a commision from Henbe before my friend and I left the hotel for the day and headed to the McKibbin's irish pub for our middle of con dinner.
Sunday(May 22)
Cosplay linup:Genin Sasuke Uchiha
Since we both had our badge,after putting on my cosplay and makeup we headed for main convention area and returned to the Dealer's den.We went to eat lunch at the hotel's restaurant around 11,because the SSB tournement was at 12.As with the charity auction,I had donations for the prize pot of the tournement:A golden Naruto mini figure and three figures of the Shonen jump set:Vegeta(DBZ),Ryuk(Death Note) and Luffy(One Piece) Even I didn't win in the tournement,I had fun.I was nervous at first,but it went well.I'll participate again next year.I went to say my goodbyes to my fellow furs in the Dealer's den.I was sad that it was almost over.(I had both post-con depresion and post-vacation depresion.)Before to leave,,since our bus was arriving i half an hour,my friend and I went Inside of the Fairview Pointe-Claire mall and went to Starbucks. I bought a smores frappuchino and two "lolipup" chocolate cookie dough cakes.(one for me and one for my friend.
I really enjoyed WTFur this year.Looking forward to WTFur 2017!In the meantime,the next con in the calendar for me is Toycon next Sunday,followed by High Score Con the next weekend...AS for the next big convention..it will be Montréal Comic Con next month!
