ANTHROCON 2017 WRAP UP!! - by Pearl
8 years ago
So Anthrocon has come and gone again. It honestly felt like it flew by WAY too fast. Sooo many fun memories and hilarious times at AC!!!
Treble
dragons99366, her BF Dusty, and Oliver
OlivertheAD all came to our house in Kentucky prior to Anthrocon. Dusty and Treble both arrived 2 days prior to leaving, and they hung out at our house all day prior to leaving for AC. Oliver arrived late Tuesday night. And we had a lot of crazy times before prepping to leave for the con. I also had to do some last minute cleaning of Pearl and Hyro's suits lol. We all did head swaps and just derped around the house!!! XD We also played some games and just chatted and had a blast!
We all drove to AC in 3 separate cars: Dusty and Treble went in their own car. Skunk (
SyCoSkunk) drove alone in her car, and
WolfyCorpse (Hyro), Oliver AD and I all carpooled together. And we had a lot of fun and laughts on our drive to the con!!! I will never forget trying a Texas BBQ caramel candy bar while in Ohio, lol. Or singing many many Pearl Jr is a fish songs, looool.
We arrived late Wednesday night at our room at the Doubletree and met up with our friend Jackie / Maggots
MaggotsPlz who we befriended while living in MD (her and Skunk worked together xD). We just kinda chilled in our room for the night after we got there.
The next day (Thursday), we all went at different times to the DLCC to get our pre-reg badges. Jackie suited up in her suit partial and I went out of suit to get my badge. Treble and Dusty suited, and I think Oliver had even worn Hyro/Wolfy's head of Hyro at some point out and around? They went to the rave later that night but Hyro and I kinda chilled in our room.
On Friday we had to prep for our Official Angel Dragon Community meet and greet at 12 which ran until 2. And it was a blast!! We surprisingly did NOT get there late this year as we did last year, lol. We had a mini Q&A, which there weren't many people that had questions, so we just let people derp around, chat, and we even blasted music and people in suit started dancing around at the meet and greet to the music, and it was just overall a ton of fun! It was definitely one of the best ADC meets we had ever!! We even had a fullsuit raffle that was for a premade design that was designed by Hyro and Skunk - with some art done by Jessy aka
marshmallowbunni for a ref. The suit is going to be made by Hyro for the body, and Pawie Paws for the head. We held a raffle at the very end of our meet. Sadly we had some mess ups and the file we had used to gather names for the raffle never got saved and we had to do it again near the end of the meet. But all in all it was a ton of fun, and a friend of mine on FB won the raffle, so I was kinda happy it worked out as they ended up winning!! Also JayJay
kill~yourself was proclaimed as best Angle Durgon!!! XD looool!!!!
After the meet we derped around for a bit in the Dealer's Den, and suited around a bit more before heading for foods and noms later that evening. We got stuck waiting for the shuttle forever just to get back to the hotel though!! @_@ I didn't suit up for the rest of the evening. We all went swimming in the pool though at the Doubletree and just had a lot of fun!! I also finally tamed the smol blow up feeeesh I got from an old friend of mine last year!!!! XD Loool.
On Saturday Hyro and I woke up late and we missed the parade, but we decided to head to the Dealer's Den and him and I helped a lot with the charity at AC for the suiter bucket brigade. I suited in Pearl ofc for it, and he suited around as Hyro with my FEEESH costume and role played as FEEESH HYRO DURGON to draw people in to help donate, lol. We each had a handler that was a part of the charity help with getting donations.
After helping with the charity a bit we got noms and cooled down, and then walked around the Dealer's Den for a bit and shopped around. We stayed until near when the DD was closing. We then left the convention center afterwards and headed back to our room to de-suit and meet up with friends again. We invited Ezel the DAD (most may know him as the new owner of old Radio), his BF Stephen, JayJay, Snowflake the DAD (iconSnowflake~: and her roomies for fun times, games and just overall craziness!! XD We played Town of Salem first, then afterwards we had a weird mix of Beanboozled and Cards Again Humanity. LOOOL. Poor Oliver ended up puking once when he got a really nasty bean lol.
The next day (Sunday) we just kinda derped around the Dealer's Den that day and chilled. I didn't suit up at all - my ankle was killing me too bad from suiting the last 2 days and since it was still healing. We bought some more stuff at the DD while we were there, then just met up with peeps and relaxed most of the day. We later on that night met up again with Ezel and Stephen and just chilled and chatted for awhile. :D
Monday we made the long trek back home, and I honestly felt like the con just flew by way too quickly. I didn't get to enjoy as much of the con as I wanted to, but I am hoping next year I can stay in the Westin so we don't have to constantly make the trip back to the Doubletree.
Dusty, Treble and Oliver all traveled back to our home in KY, and stayed at our place until Wednesday morning. We set off some epic fireworks that Hyro and I bought, and had a blast!!!!! Oliver ended up even burning his fave pair of PJ's and singed his arm hairs from the fireworks, looool! XD We also worked on soot stuff for a bit earlier that day, and just had fun!!!
The house feels a lot emptier now without all of my friends over, lol. And I miss the friends dearly that I hung out with at AC. You all are the highlights of my con ever year Love you all and miss you all dearly, and hope we can all meet each other again soon for either another con, or just meet up to derp around sometime at one another's homes, and for all of you that I got to meet or see at AC, I will definitely see you all at next year's Anthrocon!!! <3
