the day after: EF and you. and me.
9 years ago
so... EF has actually 3 ex'es: exciting, exhausting, expensive. even though I tried my best not to spend everything at the dealer's den... I just did. ;)
no worries, everything is cool.^^
I met a number of people i've only known via the internet before. don't remember all the names (sorry, I'm very bad with names), but I hope they remember. I surely do. :)
we snatched a room way up there, with bathtub and everything. the room is bigger than my appartment at home! we were pretty much overwhelmed... later we realized we had on eof the rooms for the disabled,so everything is more generously planned to accomodate for wheelchairs and such.
a lot of the time I was at the artist lounge, making use of the space there. met a few awesome people there, too (you ought to know who you are. :)).
the note holders I brought were a blast! by sunday I could collect 70 of 100, excluding 2 destroyed ones... yes, the clamps slip off. but was it necessary to unsplice the wire? :/
it seems that a number of those little cubes were wandering off towards the dealer's den. they weren't meant to, I brought them entirely for the lounge room.
but, anyway. I'm delighted to see that my idea was a success. :)
the charity booth seemed to be a success, too. it was manned by two guys from www.painteddog.org who sold many interesting things to help with a painted dog project. looks like they sold all their little painted dog plushies within the first hour of opening... you saw them wandering about with an expression of "WTF just happened?" :)
I bought a little statue of two dogs cut out of wood. and sat down to make a painted dog character out of one, just because. =^_^=
the art show was a blast as well. because of obvious reasons (tight budget) I skipped the price tags. many art pieces were pretty special. and considering for how much some of the items went it's good to not look closer at the tags... I'd have turned green with unwantoned envy.
also, more power to the artists. :)
what else... didn't go out much. a hefty buffet breakfast and some chocolate and cookies helped me through the day.
in this regards, extra special thanks for the guys who ordered sushi, found out all those plates were way too much,and gave it away for free to all the artists at the lounge who were also runnign on sweets and mineral water. :) YOU GUYS ROCK!
weather was fine. mostly sunny, but cool and breezy. interesting effects came from the air conditioning: the artist lounge was like, 5° cooler than the lobby outside... huh.
it only rained early saturday night. the rest was nice and dry. it still was enough to sweep some leaves onto my old car, and a lot of tree juice driplets. had to cleanse the windshield at a gas station on the way home because I couldn't see much.:P
the sheer number of fursuits was as awesome as the climbing quality of them. I'm torn between cute toonies and realistic critters... but somehow it's more realistic. I hope that next year I can join the crowd with my own fursuit. :) gee, I'm such a slacker...
the way home was as interesting as the last year's. we took off around 1100, and I came home after 2200... the berlin traffic was clear, but after that construction sites and too many cars on the road cost me an incredible amount of time. towards the end I left the highway and used country roads. too me the same time and saved me 40km... hm, maybe next year I'll use that road again.
my t®usty old Ford Taunus held up pretty good. almost 250k km on the clock, 42 years old, too stubborn to die. XD some people at EF might have seen it, red-orange and black roof... stood a few paces down the road before the Estrel, where I snatched a cheap parking lot.:)
I'll be back next year.and I'll bring more note holders for sure. and hoping they will be returned after use... they will, right?

Die Würfel waren eine geile Idee!

I thionkthe first uniofficial eurofurence was held at a house party I was at overat Ian curtis' place in England. It was a house convention forthe teenty group of British Furry fans - and then a bunch of German, Dutch and French fans came over on the ferry for the the weekend to add to the group...
Ian had a doormouse sleeping in his shed, and a ruined Roman town just out the backof his house!
"Oh - it's the animal people!"
nächstes mal, dann. :)
