Anthrocon 2016

Alright. It's been w week or so since the con so I might as well post about what went down and such.
1. I wasn't able to secure a hotel room. This wasn't for lack of trying. I was explicitly prohibited from getting a room by my parents. Why? Well when I came home from Midwest, my parents think something caught a lift with me in my luggage and was discovered in my bed. Never mind the fact that we had contractors in the house when I came home, never mind the fact we found the same kind of Hitchhikers at our new office at work. It was my fault and my fault alone. So rather than spend the hundreds of dollars on a single hotel room with no roommates or visitors (seriously was prohibited from visitors) I decided to drive up and back every single day of the con. It put more miles on my car than I wanted, wasted more gas than I needed, and cost more money that was necessary but God damnit I was at the con and I enjoyed myself.
2.Seeing my friends. It was awesome seeing
omegafolf and 
crashmccloud again. You guys have no clue how much you mean to me and how much better seeing you helped me.
3. Hot wings are hot. On Saturday night we decided to go out for wings at Quaker Steak and Lube in Robinson and brought along Crash, Omega, and Crash's GF Mina. We did try the triple atomic challenge as well...and dear god that was a mistake. Unfortunately Crash was the only one at the table who refused to partake in the challenge while myself, and Mina had half of a wing and promptly nearly died while Omega had a whole one and was lucky he could breathe.
4. Lack of Art. Yeah this has to be the least amount of art I've ever gotten at a con. Only 2 pieces that I might be posting up later. I just didn't have the time to get anything. Too busy.
5. The Dragget show. Once again I went ahead and recorded the Dragget Show Live for everyone to enjoy. It should be up on YouTube if you search for it under Dragget Show Live - Anthrocon 2016. I did some editing and such with this one and it really turned out well.
6.A dream fulfilled. So yeah....
I'm a fursuiter now.
At Midwest, I was afforded the opportunity to be one of the Huscoons (major props to Huscoon for letting me do that) for the parade and had a blast. So much so by the end of the month after the con I threw down a downpayment with
bycats4cats and received the finished product the Tuesday before the convention. The suit is amazing. I do know I have to work on some performance aspects and such but it was over all enjoyable. The suit fits amazingly well, I don't have amazing range of movement, but I can do what I need to. The only draw back is the wings which I had to learn how to get in and out of doors and elevators pretty fast. For anyone I might've bumped into, I am SOOO sorry!
I'll hopefully have some pics of the suit posted soon.
Once again I would like to thank everyone who helped make the con so worthwhile for me. It was just amazing. I know there's too many to list but from the bottom of my heart thank you so much.
