AnthroCon 2017

General
Honestly I have attended AC since 2013 and I have felt a disconnect with the con last year. I normally show up late Thursday morning and stay til late Sunday night. Usually I hold my suiting until sometime Friday so I can enjoy the con first and see friends and take pictures. The problem is that since my first year I have seen a big decline in any kind of fursuit interest as the con goes on.
Now, for those of you who don't suit, I can explain why this is a problem for me. My first two years I was at AC I got pictures taken, shook hands, hugged, goofed around, people seemed excited to see me....then in the years since I have noticed much less of all of the above happening.
I have been concerned that Noir wasn't fun anymore (for whatever reason) and it really has been bothering me. The fandom has become a big part of my life in the last four years and five months. With my full time job and commitments it has become harder to go to meets and see my friends...so while fursuiting definitely ISN'T the most important thing about being a furry, it's important to me.
Now this 2 Gryphon thing is going on I don't know what to think. I was already thinking of not going this year, as I had WAY more fun at two smaller cons I attended last year: Fur the More (FtM) and Western PA Furry Weekend (WPAFW) so maybe I will skip it this year and see how I feel.
Anyway I will be attending FtM and hopefully WPAFW this year again so maybe I can get my shit together to find the time to get back into the furry saddle, as it were.
(That sounds kind of gross actually.)
I also want to say I am very sorry I have not put up any content....it's been over a year since my last video...and it bothers me to have things go that far to the wayside.
