Fangcon 2016 Mini Update
9 years ago
Well, myself and JasonMiller drove out from Central Texas to Birmingham, Alabama to attend Fangcon last week! This was my 3rd Fangcon, and it was an impressively fun time!
While the drive was long (770 miles) it was still quite worth it. We stayed overnight in Shreveport on the way there, met up with Null and Siku, then enjoyed the con, seeing many old friends (Eddie Bear, Mune, Tiger Nick, Ghostmane, DJ Dadius, and DJ Charlie for starters!) and making new ones (DJ Blue, Future, CyanWolf, and still more!).
This con was also the first where I debuted my newest suit, a fullsuit version of Edgewise by The Fuzz Factory! (https://twitter.com/thefuzzfactory/.....93188014657537). He is an AMAZING suit, beautiful, colorful, and so very cute! I can't get enough of him! :D
I really enjoyed this con - while attendance was down a bit due to the con moving states (from Tennessee to Alabama) I still found so many folks from prior Fangcon's. Conventions like this really do make the fandom feel like family. It's a nice thing to experience :).
Highlights from this con - helping out DJ Dadius with the headliner show, being a part of the DJ lineup dance Saturday, performing my set on Sunday to an attentive dance floor, and suiting around as the new Edgewise as I try to figure out how to perform as him. Being able to dance to all the DJ's, esp. DJ Blue who put on a solid set, not to mention DJ Nullstrukt who likewise got us all moving!
Of all of this, seeing friends again after what feels like so long was a big deal to me. It was great getting to share meals with each and every one of them :).
Now that I'm back home I need to go through the motions, unpack, do laundry, try to catch up on sleep so I can work okay, heh! After a couple nights recovery the next set of plans need to go into action.
Be well, ya'll!

I'm tentatively planning on TFF, but I'll be flying this time if I go. 13+ hours of driving is just a little bit too much.. Otherwise, it'll be FWA followed by Relay the following weekend. It's almost a shame you can't come up and pull off both events..
