Anthrocon 2009! They like us!
16 years ago
I just got back from Anthrocon yesterday and it was tremendous fun! Meeting all my friends like Matt, Ryx, JL, DK and Jacob was the best part. I ate too much, walked too much, spent too much but enjoyed it all. The dealers room was packed as usual with far too much stuff to buy. What happened each day followed a pattern. Upon arrival at the comvention center we all split up and scattered to different places! The only only way we stayed in touch was with cell phones! We usually wound up meeting for dinner. then we would scatter again till we were all too tired to do anything. Then we would go back to Matts house!
One of my favorite things: During the Fursuit parade I was sitting next to a group of people who I assumed were with Anthrocon. They certainly were enjoying the parade. One man asked me "So how long have you people been coming here?" 'You people?' I looked at his badge and realized he was NOT from AC. He was from the Mensa convention up the block! They all were! As the man later explained "We're from the mensa convention but things down there are boring so we came up here!" Hehehehe I still laugh every time I think of that! It seems a lot of people came up from the Mensa convention!
I noticed that Pittsburgh seems to love us! Every store and restaurant I went into I found a furry there eating or shopping. In most of the food places I saw the staff wearing Con badges! I do realize that most of the business owners are more interested in the fact that we furries spend over $1 million dollars over the weekend. But the city does seem to honestly like us! And I like Pittsburgh :)
