One of the things that struck me this year at Confuzzled was how fast things can change. As I work in the transport department of the convention I'm there days before most people arrive and leave days afterwards as well. It's interesting watching the hotel transform form purely business types in suits to one filled with various characters and people with a wide range of interests. It's almost sad when it slows back down again and the corridors are empty of fursuiters walking to and from things.

I really love conventions as it's sometimes the only time of a year when I will see people. For a few days I don't have to worry about finding the time or place to be social, I just have to walk outside my hotel room. There's always going to be a point of needing a respite from such an amount of social interaction, I'm pretty sure I'll never find the perfect balance. On the whole though it went well, yes I didn't manage to suit as much as I would have liked and I had some DJ derps that really irked me for making such errors. I did though manage to get all of the suits I brought into the photoshoot so I can actually get a memory of being there.

I'd liked to have spent more time actually with people, but I did manage to find time to actually sit down here and there which was a big thing for me. I don't do well sitting down and feel the need to constantly move around. I find that I'm happiest when I'm helping someone or doing things for other people. Be it helping set up a dealers table with them, loaning out my own equipment and supplies or doing some extra driving to make life easier. I did miss actually some time with people I dearly wanted to spend with them.

I think I'm also getting the hang of this event presenting thing at last. The dance contest went much better this year as I felt more comfortable in what I was doing and how to actually do it all. Time to keep on trying and get new things on it all.
