General
I never write one of these but I've been enjoying reading everyone else's so I figured why not. I will second what most people have said: this year felt "off". I have a few theories for why that might be, there were a lot of small kids there and while I don't want to be a dick and discourage that, it definitely had an effect on the vibe for me. We got yelled at a couple times for not keeping it pg and panels were doing minor checks to see if they had to tone it down or not. Also to say the parade went badly would be an understatement. If you were in the front you may not have experienced it but being towards the end of the line was hell. All I will say about that is FOR GODS SAKE KEEP IT MOVING PEOPLE. Really the whole con didn't feel like a furry con as much as a room party con which is okay but just...not what I came for? I dunno. BUT OMG I HAD A FUCKING BLAST!!!! I know that conflicts with what I just said but different != not fun. It isn't fair to compare this year to last because I don't think anything will ever top last year. I had an AMAZING time this year too. Our room was just FANTASTIC! I love you guys so much and I hope we always room together. I'm gonna avoid doing shoutouts because I'm always afraid I'll forget people but if we hung out this year just know you're amazing and you made my con.
I can't remember which night was which because they all just blur together. I got blackout one night so that was a bust, lol.
's wine tasting was a blast as always. Hanging at the waterfront was great, Alkali was absolutely hilarious opening for 2 this year and
KILLED IT at open mic! SO proud of him.
Got to make some new friends because "Hey I heard you had some good mead in here". Did some Pittsburgh, drank some Bawls (heh), got my suit filthy as always. (Last white suit ever oh god). This might be the last AC with Battsaults & Smidget because we're making BAT SUITS for next year, super excites about that. um....I dunno I'm getting bored of writing so I guess I'll end it.
Great con, love you guys, made it home safely, will be back for more next year.
and CONGRATS to

It was super fun waiting hours in line with you lol. I have only been to 2 anthrocons but this indeed felt very different from last year. This was my first time being in the parade and I'd like to say I was about halfway in the crowd but it got very messy once we got outside. Also, I could feel a bit of tension in the room I shared at times because people had problems that they bringing into the con and it sent a bad energy. As well as we had two extra people in our room staying the night at one point which wasn't planned so there was 8 of us and me and zanner split a bed with our friend. Also Sunday just seemed to suck immensly for me. Eveything was going wrong. They randomly shortened the artist alley, art show and dealers Den to close an hour earlier than the schedule said. Given that I couldn't get a text shirt this year. I had a tight budget so the one person I picked for my badge was commisioned Thursday and it wasn't started till Sunday so I was worried it would have to be mailed to me. I get it few hours after closing ceremony and the character didn't really look right and I paid extra for a full body and got just a head/bust badge. I was so tired and grumpy I didn't bother to complain and just let it go. We tried to have dinner with a friend but his friend got us reservations at a place. First we got the place wrong then we got there and it was a nice place and good food but don't go there unless you're by yourself or paying one whole check because there was 11 of us and they wouldn't do separate checks. So we were there at least 30 minutes trying to figure out the bill. I also had like 5 people begging me for money. One was very aggressive and said fuck you to us when we said we didn't have any change. At that point, I got to the roomoms, showered and relaxed with the roommates whIle zanner hit the dog dance. Least I was productive and packed. But yeah, that was the negative points. Other than that, it was very fun and I did get to catch up and meet some cool people. It was my first fursuiting con and I got my first fursuiter badge and of course the best part was Zannereally proposing to me. I'm glad we got to spend some time together too.

Yeah AC is pretty huge and stressful/crazy but it seems everything always ends up working out. And I'm sure you'll always remember this one as being special for obvious reasons. :3 Next year I'm not gonna let myself forget to prereg! That was ridiculous, last year I was only in line for a few minutes so I was not expecting 7 HOURS! lol. Bless Zanner for bringing us food! Haha. Next time you should come out to permenti bros with us for food (I totally dont know how to spell it) Its outs by that glass castle place and the food was super good, we didnt have to wait all that long & it seemed like there were a lot of furs there already. I think we had 8 ppl in our room too, it was pretty crazy, probably will try to have less next year but at least it makes the room cheaper, I dont mind so much as long as I get a bed! lol. Good to see you again and I hope you still plan to come next year, it will probably be amazing since these things tend to cycle.

Despite all the weirdness and drama surrounding my room this year was amazing and I'm glad I got to see you guys even if it was for a few minutes. Onward to furpoc! Hopefully I get some off time to go

UGH I cant wait till I can go to furpoc again!! Ff was my all time favorite con & Im so sad that Im too far away to make it right now! But next year...next year Ill be home again!!!!! & yeah it sounds like there was a lot of drama going on this year, nothing huge but everyone had their own personal stuff going on so I think it brought the con down in general, but I still had a great time! Ill have to chase you down more next year!

Ya Zanner already promised that if he doesn't show me how to pre reg then he will just do both of ours and I'll give him the money. I definitely want to socialize more next year. I felt bad because he was kind of glum he couldn't get together with people for room parties and dinners. I still has lots of good moments despite the stressful ones.
