...because I have to start posting eventually.

...because I have to start posting eventually, I might as well make my first journal entry about the best con to date: Megaplex 8, 2009
This was my first official con. I had been to some smaller events in the past, but megaplex is the only one labeled as a big convention instead of a gathering, festival, or party. (The wonderful elliott's events)
It happened last weekend inbetween July 24th and the 26th. It is currently wednesday the 29th: I'm back home, I'm sober, I'm still making up for lost sleep, and my body is still screaming in mild dehydrated despair despite (mmm such tasty alliteration) my best efforts.
Yet.. I'm still completely buzzed. There is no PCD, at least it hasn't hit yet. I had such a great time I still feel thrilled about it.
Everything about the con was great. The events, panels, entertainment, fursuiters, atmosphere, and room parties. I had such a great time.
I played in The Furry Feud, in which my team beat the other team by something like 292 to 42.
The Cock of Justice also made an appearance in the Fursuit Deal or big deal show as number 14, holding the mysterious $10 envelope.
Matthew Ebel had a great show, as did JR in his standup routine. The FPS show was hilarious, and the safety cones looked a little bit too much like real mouths when you stared into them.
The staff did a good job of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Where my RHPS virgin cherry was popped so fruitlessly. Yet again, my team also won the virgin challenge. Sense a pattern here? Oh yes, that's right. I'm awesome. =D ...lets just ignore the fact that my team lost the fursuit games to Minstrel's cheating. ;)
And oh yes.. Rocky's shorts from the show... murry purry fantastic. Shiny gold metallic shorts. Take a look at the art posted here and you might realize the sick obsessination I have with gold.
The room parties were amazing as well. Something I thought might never happened came true. In the same room party of megaplex, the three best lions were all there.*
(*according to me)
Simba, Nbowa, and Leon de Oro. :D
Met some fantastic furs, far far too many to list
special note for Tzup, Kale tiger, Terkwolf, Rruff, Roxikat, Dibbun, Onai wolfwind, Q, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few from the early morning IHOP trip who were probably the only ones capable of staying up so early into the morning with me. Sorry if I forgot your name or got it wrong, I was exhausted!
And to finish up this long report, I have a very special dedication to Onai Wolfwind and Cessnafox who were the first furries I met in the fandom, my roomates and became engaged at Megaplex 8, 2009, with plans to tie the knot. (not like that you perverted furries!) at Megaplex 9: 2010. Big cheers to them. I wish them the best. They're perfect for each other.
P.s. (Thats what the alphabet would look like if Q and R didn't exist...) You didn't actually think I was done did you? Oh no!
There was another performance that I purposely neglected to mention up above. And That is Bucktown tiger ladies and gentlemen. While he did a fantastic job on stage, I'm here talking about his superior performance, in the middle of the con area sunday morning at around 2 AM. For any musician to even try to keep up with us... you'll see for yourself.

This was the best possible way to wrap up the con. Thank you Bucktown and everyone else who made it possible, even Mach who had to shut it down, he was just doing his job.
Enjoy the show. It shouldn't be too hard to pick out which one is me.
I can't wait to see everyone again, I can't thank you all enough for the great time I had at Megaplex 8, 2009.
