FWA '17 Recap

FWA recap
Started off rough, all my roommates had to drop out last min because they couldn't attend the con at all, including a close friend (fursuit con pick up too) whos ride cancelled 2 days before they had to leave, and i had to fill the room slots all in less then one month. Some had cancelled flights and then went back home, but i was able to fill some nights with a few furs 1-2 days before the con. We arrived there Wed, a little later than expected due to the storm, plus having to stop and check oil a few time (having issues with the truck, had it at a shop for over a week before we left). Checked in, finding out taxes went up 9% from last year (i alwasy try to calculate everything before checking in ti make sure everything adds up and i have right amount from everyone in the room(s) so im not short) but ended up being short about $175 bleeding into my con money. Glad i came prepared with extra, sadly i was still short atleast one person and i had to cover the amount. Then every night up to Satstayed up to 7-8 and working on Nyx's new suit and Wolfgang's suit to get them finished. Ended up missing the fursuit photo only by a few mins.... but then everything changed!
Once Naraseth and I finished his suit, we immediately went suiting together. As that was the first time full suiting in his own suit. We had a blast hanging out with so many of our FWA friends. We brought our speaker box outside and danced with a bunch of them. Including joining Sonar the Angel and Sora the Gryphon with more friends to a 5 star sushi restaurant for dinner. Leaving with 6 people in my truck, having 3 in the bed. Such a great time, i thank everyone who made that experience great for me and helping turing my weekend around!! After which chatting and making new friends all sat night till 7am.
Sunday continued the fun, we ran to the dealers room anf got some last min purchases, then suiting and running around once again. Dead dog is great just like every year, ending but still continues outside the dancing. Talked to a bunch of suiters afterwards and caught up with some familiar faces from previous years and/or Anthrocon. Staying up till 7am again, hanging out with some new friends.
Had such a great time at FWA again this year, i cant wait till next year. Definitely wont be trying to finish 3 suits before a con, including one with less than 2 weeks ahead of time *cough cough* Wolfgang *cough*
Will still be doing the room sharing, i still enjoy doing it, now have done it 6 times! Going to make sure i have the up to date taxes next time though. So if anyone from my rooms this year or previous years returns to FWA, feel free to message me again if you want to room with me again.
THANK YOU EVERYONE who i got to hangout with at FWA, I had such a blast even though it didnt start so great.
