TFF 2018- still relevant?
8 years ago
General
So, it is insane how long it really takes me to recover from a convention...especially when you end up with the con-crud. ^^;
But yes, I made it back from TFF 2018 and decided that maybe it was time just for an update journal?
I had a blast at the con and can't really say too much negative on the convention's part. I know that since this was the first year at the Hyatt Regency, there were some rocky moments; people complaining about lack of parking, the elevators getting backed up and such. Also yes, there was a bit of drama (but it's a Furry con, what do you expect really), but overall my experience was purely positive.
I will say that I took a much different approach to the convention this year. My first TFF was all about wearing a Fursuit for the first time and really getting Rune out there and exposed so that I would feel more 'welcome' and 'accepted' by people. I'm not sure why I thought that was something so important...but it really had me spending the convention looking through mesh eyes the whole time, and it was only later that I realized just how many suits, goodies, and events I had missed.
ACFI was sort of the same way...with my YouTube becoming more, and more popular...I focused less on the convention for 'fun' and spent more of it trying to get pictures to make that next awesome video for my channel. I feel like I spent the con looking through a camera lens...and again, I feel like I missed out on so much even though I had a good time. So this year, I wanted to try something else.
I did not suit as much; part of that was because health-issues, part of it was because Rune's suit is falling apart...but mostly it was because I really wanted to 'see' what this con was and what it had. I took less photos, but when I took a photo, it was more for myself, more personal. I took more pictures out of suit than pictures while in suit to really feel like I was there and that it wasn't just Rune. And honestly, I feel like I had a lot more fun and was a lot more relaxed at this TFF because of these changes.
But I'm home now and I can not say where my schedule will put me.
I spent way too much money at the convention and so I am not sure that I will be there for ACFI this year, Sucks that I might have to miss it, but adulting does come first. Also, Rune's suit really is on its last legs right now. So, I am trying to take it easy...that's one reason why I no longer make as many videos because the more I wear Rune, the more his fur falls out and the glue breaks down...and I'm trying to keep him up for as long as possible.
Because of him falling apart...I will eventually have an announcement on Rune and what I plan to do about him because of his condition. But I am waiting on some things to happen first, some ducks to line up so that I don't have to go and change said-announcement a million time, you know?
But back to TFF:
