AC 2009 Comes to an End :(
16 years ago
It has been three days of craziness but, as with all good things, it must come to an end. Not quite sure where to begin and, if I miss anyone, please forgive me. I'm an old man who has not had any booze in a few hours. The short version is that Uncle Kage and his staff have done it again. Let's see. I believe the final numbers were 450 fursuiters in the parade and a total attendance of three thousand, seven hundred and something. Still the largest fur con in the world! OMG! Guess where I will be this time next year. :)
Pittsburgh has been a wonderful host city. The businesses around the area went out of there way to provide us with whatever we needed, especially food. They hired extra staff and made up specials and t-shirts and extended their normal hours all for us. Kind of the opposite of the places in Philadelphia which seemed to do their best to make us un-welcome.
Thanks to a good friend, I had a beautiful room in which to spend a few hours, okay, several hours, a day sleeping. As always, there were some awesome fursuits. Dakota Wolf and Dreamsong (Dreamsinger? I cannot remember. She's going to hurt me!), who is a beautiful cheetha, both spring to mind. The faces were just beautiful. And, I met many people I have only talked to online. Muscle Wolf and Dineegla, you guys rock! But, the best part is seeing old friends, some of whom I only get to see at Anthrocon. Lionus, Amadhi, 2, Jibba, The German Furs, and so many others. You made this a great weekend. Thanks!
