Ok, now that I've had a good 24 hours of sleep x3 I'm ready to write about AC: (it's a bit long and I say now, sorry if I forget to mention names, so many people I met there X3)

Monday: Travel by train for 14 hours with crying baby, no sleep
Tuesday: wait at DC and meet up with  patthecat to take another train ride for 7 hours to pittsburgh
Wednesday: arrive at 12am, hopped a taxi to the best western for sleep.
That day: hoped a shuttle to the double tree, hung out in the lobby, met some random furs (tried selling my hangers but they were picky and didn't like lucario in vore X3)
saw this guy there  monstersids looking kinda lonely so I introduced him to the group and got him to hang with us for most of the con.
 myrmidon arrived and we set up base in his room. Went to the westin to round up people for the vore dinner,

Went to the vore dinner, unfortunately the buffet turned out to be lunch only. O well, good food still. Met  theneonknight ,  shadowravenx ,  dyne and a few others along the way but can't remember because we had to seperate tables so it was only me, neon, sids, and pat at a booth.

Thursday: Con starts, lots of walking and back and forthing, moving my stuff to the westin to bunk with  minimew and her crew for most of the rest of the con.

Got part of my partial eevee suit from her X3 I loved it so much, I was wearing it for the rest of the con x3. (thanks go to pat, myrmidon, and freaky who helped me where my paws couldn't do things such as receive or make phone calls X3) the only part that was missing and unfortunately disallowed me into the parade and other fursuit events was the head X3 (yet all raven had was her head and no costume and she was able to go XD ) but o well, next year! Plus the paw shoes were a saving grace to my foot tendon that was being chopped away by my new shoes. Registered for AC, very quick process, getting pre registered again next year. Doodled a bit for raven and Sykes. Saw a few panels usually based on animation and such by Ben, saw alot of stuff from him (the guest of honor who did stuff for Danny Phantom, Foster's home etc)

That night was Vore's Night Out, we ended up doing it  magetorment 's room. Except for not really reinforcing the room occupancy limit the party was quite fun I thought. Met well... jeeze wish I could remember names but um... I know  freaky was there as well as  rukario who hung with us for most of the rest of the con. Got my ass handed to me in Katimari Dimoshi (if I spelled that right) by mage but made a come back in MTG using my worst put together deck (made up of cards from a draft) then challenged his tree folk against mine, a very solid battle. I was on the verge of victory but unfortunately he drew just the card he needed when he was at 3 life and started gaining it back. Fun stuff. O then there was the gulping contest. One gummy bear, swallow hole, pass the bag. Keep going till you can't go no more. I made third place! x3 But wow, props to Sykes and Pat, they go to the next level: sour patch kids. Sykes ended up winning X3. The party moved to the zoo after we decided it was too many people.

That night and morning me, freaky, and myrmidon began planning the rest of AC and what events to go to.

Friday: saw many a panels, shows, talked alot, went to the dealer's den. The only thing I bought was some stickers from a really awesome pokemon artist x3 all the eeveelutions air brushed stickers for only $8!

Met alot more people, mostly hung with myrmidon, pat, freaky, and sid. I think today I met  redguardian suiting along the way. Too bad he couldn't join us for any of the parties. Had a fun time letting him use my tail to help him get around X3

That night went to the big vore party in the double tree: didn't get to meet everyone I wanted- apparently some people left due to bringing their own booze. With some encouragement from freaky I was able to sell ALOT of my hangers X3 had to reduce the price but I came close to breaking even! only 5 more needed to be sold!

Saturday: July 4th, lots of walking, meeting people, gosh... things are starting to become a blur X3 I do remember that we went to a korean bar and pigged out on meats and such. VERY expensive but it was a fun one time thing. Met one of the spies there and had plans that later would fall through. O well, next year possibly X3

O wait, I do believe today mage, myrmidon, pat, and myself bought a commission from  rockk basically it includes us 4 in pokemon form, voring our real life counterparts, with some mage hilarity mixed in.

That night we needed some sleep so I went to my room early and got roped into playing Mountain Witch with lati, mage, and Jake. I was quite unsure with myself. I already knew I was horrible at improve now I had to try and play a game that was all about it AND make a story with it. Well thankfully with kind encouragement from the three I got through it, unfortunantly lati fell asleep so the game ended. Mage then challenged me to a game of Furoticon. It was a bit hard to get used to the new system at first since it's like magic only it's not. For instance the urge to draw every turn had to be subdued. Mage the master of card games again wooped me X3 but it was good fun. Unfortunately I was really slow so I caused us to be up to like 5am in the morning--- oops ^^;

Ah and finally it was Sunday: ... the last day... lots more walking, socializing and what not. walking and more walking. I do remember getting nerdy with Kee the fox about 3D modeling and animation. I also remember having a great time swimming with myrmidon and pat where we talked alot about pokemon and fursuiting. most memorable moment was watching kage and 2 go at it on stage X3 major hilarity. My most hated memory: spending the last few hours with friends asleep D: every one else in myrmidon's room was up playing games or what not and I went to sleep DX I fail horribly.

Anyhow, train ride home the next two days yadda yadda, hugged pat goodbye after he had a two hour delay for his bus (it was full the first go around so I stayed with him for the next two hours) Pat and I wore our tails all the way back and yes, we got attention, but usually of kids saying :I want a tail" or people wanting photos or people just asking what it was for etc etc , overall just fun and interesting responses.

*sigh* it's all over now though... I miss it so much already. Didn't get to meet everyone I wanted to either and wished that  Kureno and  nila_tala and  HyperRific could have gone but o well, next year hopefully ^^


So much more I wish I could write about but it's either all a blur or so much to still take in.

I say though: next year team pokemon will take over AC X3 the way I see it if possible our group will all have pokemon fursuits!

This year's team pokemon included: Cinder the arcanine, Pat the Delcatty, Freaky the green riachu, rukario the lucario, and yours truly, the eevee.

There were others, I saw an umbreon suiter and an eevee suiter and of course there's mage and minimew and redguardian and raven and other pokesonas but the above is just our cohesive group for most of the con.

Anyhow, that's all for now, future journals will talk about Hangers (I'm still selling them online) future paraphernalia, commissions, and more.
