Well, things started out dramatically...
Was just on the train from Birmingham New Street to Birmingham International (10 minute last-leg journey for me), phone dead and a brief chat with a guy who was going home from studying made me realise that I'd somehow managed to forget my ID. After a quiet muttering of "Fuuuuck" and a minute of mental swearing, given there was nothing to be done at the moment, I just kept calm and went, checked into my hotel (was in the overflow. I'll get to that in a bit), then went over, phone and charger in my bag, trying to think of anything I could do. Spotted
Wolfool 
yogoloth and others queueing for reg themselves and stopped to say hi and share my idiocy, and Wolfool happened to know that 
Vorktheartist was due to arrive the next morning, and got me in touch (I'm old and am not good with keeping up with people on things). Fortunately, he was able to go pic my ID up and bring it the next morning on his way, so crisis was averted(or, at least, likely £40 and about 5-6hrs of more travelling to go back to get it myself) and I could relax.
Huge thanks again to wolfool, Vorktheartist for being awesome, and to 
Kasaran and 
Jezzabelle for offering thoughts/ideas and to see what could be done if need be (Jezz is on Reg team, known her for yeeeears. But nonetheless rules/policies-bound, as is right). And others for just being nice and helping. Spent that day hanging with Wolfool yogoloth kasaran :Cookie-Dough: (whom I've also known for years - Along with Jezzabelle, two of the first furs I ever met in person) 
ryman754 
Samohtfoxxtail and a couple of others whose names escape me (Sorry. despite how this seems, I'm genuinely awful at remembering names) and enjoying a cheeky Nandos in the evening which whilst delicious, did kinda fall apart (had a wrap).
As said, I was in the overflow,which meant walking. Only maybe 5-8 mins each way on my own (am a brisk walker for one so small when I'm on my own), so not a huge issue. Is a nice hotel, much as I'd rather still be in the main hotel, It did have its little perks. 1. the curtain over the bath split at the bottom so as to be both in and outside of the bath. Shroedinger's shower curtain if you will. Also, had a fresh bottle of water each morning, and a small 'fridge' which, whilst it was actually a chill-er(?) and required calling down to have turned on, and a charge afixed, it was cool still anyways, so was quite nice and handy.
One reg'ed the next morning, spent much of the con hanging with
Stampy 
Alterflane 
ZeeM 
Meister_li and occasionally 
Draconder and finally got to meet the hyooman behind 
Misha who I've known online for *does mental maths* A long time. You don't need to know the numbers.
Played board games, wrote a bit (nothing finished, but should be able to finish both soon) whilst others drew, and generally had a good time and was my always 'delightfully' punny, bad joke-making self (Yes, I'm as bad irl as I am online).
Macro/Micro meet happened and I'll put a thing about that separately tomorrow (feel free to get photo lynx ready to put into the comments of that for those who attended...), but don't forget to give thanks to
DCuk 
Dack49 (Dackson_turner on twitter) and 
Gojiza for a lot of work into helping set up the room, as well as creating all of the stuff for the macros to break. Without them, it'd be less suity-smashy and more chatty-talky.
Jym Saturday Night Travesy was fantastic, on its usual Monday night slot, even if it was lacking in foxes on the panels (Though congrats to 
Hell-Badger on the win, and long may you treasure Eeeeeegg - especially since you won without resorting to bribery by dragon-dick like some other contestants).
And lastly, Got a fantastic commission from
Mirri and what will be an awesome digital from Wolfool
I'll try and get the sketch scanned in if I can #1 think to and #2 remember/figure how to use the scanner.
