Califur 2016

Califur 2016.
Lets start off with the theme.
A Renaissance theme is most likely the coolest thing I've seen a convention do.
On to my con experience. It was pretty amazing I never actually been to these events before I always assume they're just small tiny places where people hang out and such but I realize it's a lot more than that. The new setting for this convention I think it's pretty good it gives us a lot more space to do stuff rather than a small dinky Hotel but since I never been there before this is the first time I experienced a new venue.
I'm no stranger to the Fairplex in Pomona since I've been there for the LA Fair few times.
I debuted my 2nd fursuit here during califur. Had both partial and fullsuit. I personally like the partial one because it gives me more freedom to move around rather than constrained and constricted with the full suit on plus it kind of makes me look kind of fat. And man oh man I got so much attention with it also. I had my picture taken by countless people,hell even OC Weekly showed up. I also happen to take photos at the event as well some of them look pretty darn amazing. Unfortunately I didn't know much about fursuiting étiquettes because it appears that I look like I have a rod stuck in my leg every time I walk somewhere at the convention. But Flint is still learning, after all this is his first event and hopefully I can improve on that. Corvin did a cool panel on Fursuit emote and posing. I did learn quite a bit of that.
I met new faces and some familiar faces.
I met Drago the dragon. He's seems like a cool guy.
I also met some Brandon Holt which he is a wolf. I owed him a furry badge so i handed it to him. He was pleased. He also gotten his very first furry wolf tail. Again, he is cool. I also met some of my acquaintances from earlier meetups, glad they made it too.
I've seen big names there. I was so happy that I got a hug with some of them. They more than made my day. My favorite part was the parade starting point overall. Never seen so many fursuiters in my life. Made my day also
A couple of things that I like to do better for next year:
1. Better management of my time.
This meant that I spent too much time in one place instead of going to another place that mattered.
I would like to have been at that party outside at the Fairplex during the Smash Brothers tournament.
2. Like I said earlier I had no etiquettes when it came to fursuiting. I looked kinda boring at times. I like to change that also.
I need to address that these things didn't hurt the experience but rather something I like to improve upon.
I had the opportunity to stay at the hotel but I felt like getting there by car on a daily basis seems fair since I live about 30 minutes away.
All in all it's an event that I like to go back again and have more fun at.
I like to thank my brother for taking a few pictures while I was in suit.
I hope to visit Califur 17 next year at Pomona.
