Fursonacon 2017

General
This past weekend was Fursonacon's 2nd year and first time on their own. Though it be a small con with around 300 attendees, it was a success. I helped staff the video game room during the convention. Honestly, given my financial situation, if I didn't staff it I wouldn't have gone. I have too limited funds right now. Anyway staffing the video game room was pretty nice. Not too many furs didn't come in until Saturday where it got pretty busy. What was best about it though was that there was no con funk is the room. It smelled pretty decent.
As for outside of the game room, I hosted my panel about kemono anime and video games: stuff that predominately feature furry characters from Japan. I also went around to watch other panels people were doing.
There were two highlights of the con. One was meeting new furs and becoming good friends with them. I think these friendships will last a long time. The other thing was that I FINALLY GOT TO FURSUIT! A friend of mine, Tyr, had lent me one of his older wolf suits and I loved it. It was as hot and limited vision as I had expected but it didn't deter me from wanting a fursuit of my own. It made me want to get one even more, knowing what it's like. I got to walk in the fursuit parade, get in the group shot, and even get a fursuit badge.
Then on Sunday after we closed everything down, my department heat brought out Joust for furs to play. One person watching on the sidelines made a wager to those playing: whoever wins gets a free headshot badge of their fursona. Luckily I was one of those winners and so I will be getting one made by her. I am very thankful. Once I get it I will post it up here.
