As I have woken up first time at home after NFC, I thought to make a report about how the con went overall :3

So first of all as little summary the NFC 2017 went 98% alright, since it had mostly great times with somewhat smaller things which would have been better.
The time I was spending mostly with my roomies  vince_bloodwing and  jaxhuskita (huge thanks to them to share this experience with me) and I think I suited for 5-6 hours total during the con (I managed to lost my count with time x3).
This was my very first time to go to Sweden besides of ferry cruises and just going in transfer flight in Stockholm-Arlanda airport and also my very first NFC.
The hotel was looking magnificent and specially the lobby is really wonderful looking.

At Thursday 9th, it was travel day to get to the con most part and just getting used to the con space, taking some photos around the hotel and for the fursuiters.
So it was quite a relaxing day.

Friday 10th was the first con day and the fursuit parade day at the NFC, the parade was a bit different than what I have used to. The parade started without any special announcement or any assembling like in Anthrocon for example, I just had to follow the other furs and the lining was bit unorganized like everyone was trying to crowd themselves in small space at same time.
Also there was unexpected change with parade route too, which excluded the outdoor part.
Parade went otherwise like in other cons I have been so far ^^
At same day, there was opening of the Dealers den and Art Show. I was unlucky to get any art from both places as I failed with saving enough money for the con. *writes down reminder to save up more money next NFC*
Also I managed to play some of the games at the arcade room.
Later that evening, Jax invited me to go to room party with him and I had great time there, thanks to everyone who came to chat with me a bit.

Saturday 11th was the last full day at the con for us before leaving Sunday.
There was not much new happening as I roamed between Dealer´s Den, Art Show and Arcade Room, but there was also group photo of the con and I managed to watch with  jax_huskita one panel of GoH  jdpuppy which was called "Shake your tail" and it was basically dance lesson.
I have to say that I could see why he´s quite famous in fandom as he seem to be really easy-going fellow and he´s cheerful guy, also really good dancer ^^
At evening me and  vince_bloodwing made our last fursuiting roaming of the con and then got some sleep before early wake up next day.

Sunday 12th we went to get some breakfast and finished up packing, to get ready to go to the airport and back our homes.


As I mentioned in the beginning the report, the con was 98% alright for this lion, the last 5% was not so good experiences.. so I guess this will be so called Con/Minus part of NFC report.
I already mentioned about parade stuff on Friday´s con part, but also I noticed other stuff which didn´t worked on con.
I was looking forward to get myself a fursuit photo from NFC´s official photoshoot, but that excitement went down after hour of waiting and still not able to get in photoshoot.
So I had to give up on waiting and there won´t be any fursuit photoshoot photos from NFC this time.
Also, there weren´t as much interesting panels or meets as I wished for, like there was meet&greets with Eurovision fans, Avians, Duch AngelDragons and Babyfurs.
We need lion meet&greet in NFC!!!! Next year!! MAKE IT WORK!! x3
So it´s kinda 50/50 with the programming on NFC 2017, as I´m sure that some people likes the loosen up programming, without too many stuff happening at the same time. But there´s also people who are just roaming around as they don´t have anything else to do.

Those were the con related experiences that could have been better, there was some things that I could have done better during the NFC, also.
I managed to slip on wet floor on sauna´s changing room, hitting my right shoulder and right knee. The knee healed up during next 2 days, shoulder is still a bit sore, but hopefully it will recover soon too.
So lesson here is: If there´s a slippery wet floor in changing room, then be extra cautious with walking.
Also I wasn´t able to test drive the pool, because I forgot to take my swimming trunks with me and I thought that I could buy or rent them at hotel. Nope, that wasn´t possible.
Lesson: "If there´s a pool in con hotel and you want to swim in it, bring your goddamn swimming trunks with you anyways"

The biggest thing I was noticing on myself during the con: I need to learn to be more outgoing person.

The reason I was talking about the lack about interesting panels and meets, was that kinda made me feel bit lonely and down during the con.
Even though I was trying my best to have lots of fun and enjoy my time on NFC, I somehow failed to be outgoing as much as I could.
So I kinda hoped that there would have been bit more stuff to do to get the bad feeling out of the way and get to know with other furs too.

I was happy that I was able to meet again some furs which I haven´t seen for some while, I just hope I´m able to be bit more outgoing person.
Though I know getting more outgoing isn´t the easy task or learned by overnight, I keep my fingers crossed that I achieve that someday.

Anyways, I´m definitely looking forward to get back to the NFC again next year with better preparing in my mind.
Next con adventure will be in Tampere Kuplii comic festival this weekend ^^
