Furnal Equinox, another great con recap!
8 years ago
General
Another year has passed, another great con, and now I have to wait a whole year more to go again, but I'm ALREADY EXCITED!
This years Furnal Equinox has once again topped all my previous experiences. Everything from the new venue right downtown Toronto, to the panels and events, the dance floor, and just a fantastic community of furries came together to make this by and far the best convention I've ever been to!
Most of my time was spent hanging with
s00t in the dealers den, selling her art and chatting up all the random passers by that made the mistake of stopping long enough for me to start talking. I didn't get to go to as many panels as I may have liked, but the few that we did manage to attend were fantastic, including the Iron Artist challenge and the charity panel.
We manages to raise over ten thousand dollars for the After the Track charity, an organization that finds adoptive homes for retired racing greyhounds. Their booth was just down the room from our table in the Den, and we got to see so many lazy dogs wandering by or generally just lazing around their booth. A huge shout out goes to all the volunteers that brought their dogs and spent so much time interacting with attendees.
Once again I ran the Midnight Howl panel this year, and with even greater success! Soot made a wonderful poster that hung at her booth for the day, and then I used it that evening to get people to come met up for the panel, which didn't get a room of it's own this year. The story I told was a Micmac tale about Rabbit and the Man in the Moon, and when we headed outside for the howl I tried to count how many people came out... and I lost count at SIXTY! We howled so loud that people as high as the 21st floor of the hotel said they could hear it!
The other huge highlight of this con is getting to see all the cool artists and friends from previous years. Once again we shared a table with
thelivingshadow, same as last year. And 
kazooie came by and caught up with us for a bit. I got 
anyare and 
shinigamigirl to sign some of :tempo321:'s novels I was carrying with me, and bought some prints, shirts, and various other swag to bring home! There were even some great Thunder Bay furries at the con! I ran into 
NorthernWhiteWolf a handful of times, and 
sepia had her own booth in the Dealers Den right around the corner from me and Soot!
So thanks again for the staff and community at
furnalequinox for making this one of the best cons I've ever attended, I'm already looking forward and making plans for next year, getting ready to Live Large!
