Back from Anthrocon!
9 years ago
Wow, what a weekend!
Draggor and I loaded up the Batplane and flew out of Chicago early Thursday morning and arrived to the hotel early afternoon. The weather was perfect and it was a smooth easy flight. Draggor learned very quickly how to keep the plane on course so he ended up flying about an hour of it! XD
I originally didn't have a whole lot planned for Thursday but that changed very quickly! It seemed my days were filling with more things than they could hold. I felt picked up and whisked away on the currents of the convention - often losing track of time and missing some things / people.
SO MUCH SUITING. This was my first time suiting at AC, and in a place where the general public loved us so much! Had a couple long suiting sessions with
ManuKoaSuit while I was in Raspberry. When the both of us roamed around together the people loved us! We could hardly take a step before more people wanted photos. Super fun!
Axikor was a hit as well, and I was wearing that suit for the parade. OMGosh the parade! I've never been so excited and so exhausted during a parade and it was soooo muuuchhh fuuun!!! The outside section was cheering for us so loudly, it was an amazing experience!
Moltar was only out publicly once, and again for a couple room parties Sunday night. Had some trouble with his vision, so I didn't wear him a whole lot.
Currently in the process of washing suits and repairing some minor damage. Axikor broke most of his claws in the excitement of the parade, so I'm making some new ones.
Met and hung out with so many awesome people too!
Blue443 It was awesome chatting with you in the headless lounge, and it seemed I kept bumping into you, lovely blue dragon!
Khrystal_Dax - glad I saw you at least for a few seconds! We GOTTA find each other one of these cons and actually hang for a bit! XD
Kataze - You are the best skonk. Thanks for getting emergency ice cream with me!!
AlkaliBismuth - Thanks for the booze, buddy! I owe you many drinks!
LeoneLaTwerk - Thanks for hanging with me and for treating me to a yummy ice cream cone before the shop closed!
Rhos
TheLeonard - So glad we got a chance to hang together! You guys are amazing people and I hope to see more of you in the future. Also, how can I forget the delicious OREO SHAKE!
Lanakila - Thanks for spending so much time with me suiting around! You are the sweetest bird around!
Temperance - Thank you so much for taking time out of your con to help me with Moltar's head! I learned a lot from you on how to better care for him.
Crystumes - Sorry I lost track of time and didn't make it to your photoshoot in the correct suit! Glad I was able to meet up with you and see your lovely works together.
So many more of you to thank and acknowledge! Just because you aren't mentioned here does not mean you are forgotten! Apologies to those I was unable to meet up with! These large cons can be difficult in that regard.
I feel so fortunate to have made so many friends in the past few years. You all mean so much to me.
The last day, Monday, was a stressful one for me. Between fighting PCD, packing up all the stuff, and the gloomy weather I knew I was flying into, I was trying hard to keep a good spirit. The flight home was very challenging. There were many layers of clouds to fly through, and some quite thick. Finding openings between or on top was tricky, but once in a clear zone the scenery was quite amazing.
Draggor took some video of our cloud adventures, and I hope it gets posted sometime in the future. Weather was still gray, but much clearer on our approach to Chicago. Had a nice smooth landing, and got the plane put away safely.
I was so pooped out when I got home that when I finally was able to relax it was such a wonderful relief. I passed out hard that night!
Overall, this was an incredible convention for me! PCD hasn't hit too hard this time around, so I am thankful for that as well. I cannot wait for the next con! Hope to see you all there!!!

Oh no.
*face palm*
As well, it was a real treat to see you perform. I really enjoyed Raspberry's mannerisms as you played to the camera, twirling around, spreading your wings, combing back your regal crestfeathers and trilling to Pittsburghers who fell in love with your birdyness! :> I was happy to play the supportive role while you stole the show! <3
Miss you already! So much wanna attend IFC just so that I could bird-suit with you again!
Glad you had a fantastic Anthrocon! Thanks for enhancing my own experience!
Had a wonderful time suiting with you - and maybe next time you'll succeed with your ice cream traps.
