Obligitory Anthrocon journal
9 years ago
Well, I made it back from Anthrocon. It was a blast. I loved it. It set some firsts for me, as well. First time in a city. First time at a convention. First time in a four-star hotel. ...First time being touched by someone in a fursuit. Yeah. That was kinda funny. A drunk fursuiter yelled "FREE HUGS FOR EVERYONE!" and then gave me a hug while they were in fursuit. It was funny. Saw some incredible suits there, too. Took a ton of pictures, of which I posted about a third of, and some videos ( https://www.youtube.com/user/DemonCollie ). Please excuse the quality of some of the videos, as I took them with my outdated camera. :s Yeah. I kinda got to nervous at one point though... I saw some of my Guild Wars 2 guildmates there, and didn't say hi to them.
Holy crap that fursuit parade though. That was loooooong. Like, it was over an hour long. over 2000 fursuiters were in it! Holy crap! So many people this year for it!
One thing did bother me, though. I saw a breed I had not seen before, and asked my friend about them. He said they were "Dutch Angel Dragons". Oh. My. God. There were so many of them. It got annoying to hear the squeeking from them. Like, what the hell. Every ten minutes turned in to a squeek fest because a group of them had converged and started squeeking at each other. Some of them even squeeked when they walked! It was driving me mad just hearing that. I think there was way to many of them there this year. :s
All in all, though, I had a lot of fun. It was quite nice to get out, see a big city, and go to a gathering of that size. I hope to try and go there again next year!
