So, for the first time in, oh, five years or so, I attended Califur. (Actually, I think I went when it was still Confurence. Gosh.) And after hearing about so much of the ridiculousness, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Califur. Was. AWESOME. I had an ABSOLUTE blast, and so did Skagway, heh heh. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my act together enough to put up more pieces in the art show, but the one I did turn it did get sold, so thank you to those that bid!

Sadly, my fellow cross-suiting furfag  CommodoreMarie could not attend with us, as she's sort of the driving force behind me not being a completely lazy ass. But, as always, I attended this con with  MooglePower, aka the coolest fur in fandom, and  wildglitterwolf, aka Kei, who had never experienced furry fandom in real life before!

The three of us got to the hotel sometime around 10 or 11, maybe, and checked in early pretty much right when we got there. I pranced around mostly out of suit, but got into Skagway a few times everyday, and at night to enjoy the dances in suit. I was expecting really crappy dances, but Saturday night especially bumped some AWESOME music. Other highlights included the art show, where I got to see a bunch of awesome art that made me :| about my own in comparison, lol, the dances, the ice cream social (I love my ice cream, damn it), 2 The Ranting Gryphon, and the Cabaret Fur Le Dance, which was one of the most pleasantly surprising events at con. I am SO glad I went, and I can thank my wonderful collie mate  Dark_Takumi for buying me a ticket.

Hung out with a LOT of furs this weekend, and met so many more, so apologies if I'm missing anyone! , , , , Tully, , , Shard Wolf, , and, of course, , , and my collie, . I also got to meet and see some awesome furs I admire like , , , , and Michele Light, among others.

Can't wait for next year's Califur, where I may end up with way more artworks to sell, and I'll see you all at AnthroCon 2009!
