Furnal Equinox 2015 Wrap-Up Journal
Posted 10 years agoHonestly FE is a blur to me and there’s so many people that I met that I can’t tag them all and there’s so many that I know that I can’t tag either!
I really suck at checking FA notes, if you’d like to reach me:

_______
I meant to write this sooner but I was a lazy cat and delayed it…
So I went to furnalequinox 2015 and it was fantastic. I drove down early on the Thursday with sanghaleo, xaviercrystal, zero-karma and diastakumi so we were set with our rooms nice and early. I was put on the first floor almost across from the pool, squee. Everyone arrived on Friday, I roomed with Simbayo, callykitty and nicnak044 - I had a box of candy as bribery for people in the room.
Thursday, I arrived very early like 9:15am early which thankfully after an hour wait got me a room on the first floor (thank you Sheraton for accommodating my mobility issues, I love you). I spent most of Thursday unpacking, napping, getting noms, and getting registered and took a walk through the con space. Thursday I also spent a good hour in the hot tub which made my chronic pain issues very happy – thank you to those in the hot tub who let me get in (remind me who you are again please because my memory sucks).
Friday started for me with Simbayo delivering me breakfast on Friday because he’s an awesome lion. I nommed while he unpacked. Friday my first order of business was hitting the dealers den because someone I’ve been dying to meet was there. My first wander through artists alley I met kikeri.arts and mavrick25 - I quickly commissioned expression sketches of QP from Kikeri Arts because they were awesome. I then walked through the dealers den with the lion body guard at my side (LOL) and I went to the staticclaws booth so I could meet the so fucking fabulous fawxpawz and the rest of her booth team (sinibuns and w0lfpawpaw). Sorry, I have to flail over meeting Fawnix for a minute here, her and I have been speaking on and off for a year or two at this point and she’s been on my “to meet” list for awhile – it was fucking amazing to put a real like person to the voice and name and get a hug from her. And now she’ll probably want to kill me but that’s okay. :P I recall a frantic meowing and scratching at my hotel room door which turned out was Koray! It was wonderful to see her, it was such a busy FE for both of us that I feel like I didn’t get much time with her – sad cat. I suited up for a while and did pester a few people in suit (because yay fun). This is when I dashed off to my room to change for dinner with people!
Post dinner Friday, I wandered around and got some photos. I chatted with an awesome gryphon suiter about features of her suit that were just amazing. I got to the lady furs panel where we discussed an idea that coyoteryan brought forward regarding Den Mother’s and their purpose within conventions. If you’re curious please contact her! We moved forward with social bingo and this is when we realized find out we had some technical issues which eevachu offered to help us with but turns out we had the print outs. Thank you again Eevachu. We were thankfully able to move forward with the panel with no more hiccups. XD Lots of people left with prizes, yay!
Saturday, CallyKitty and Cynphira fetched breakfast at Timmies for everyone in the room. I tacked an extra thing onto my order, a box of Tim Bits because certain Americans mentioned they had never had Tim Bits. Upon delivery of breakfast, I ran out in my PJs no less to deliver said Tim Bits to the dealers den. I’m sure it probably looked special but seriously never having had Tim Bits is a crime, or should be, so it had to be rectified. I got to the booth and handed over the box to the folks at the Static Claws booth where it was met with oooohhhhs and ahhhs and squeees and “OMG woman I love you.” XD I headed back to my room for my breakfast, and on my way back I found a 5$ bill in the hallway next to my room. Instant karma? The big downer for me on Saturday was I wound up feeling really unwell just prior to the fursuit parade so I made arrangements for ace~shep to be QuyetPawz in the parade. We stuffed her with a pillow and got her all set. I was her handler up until we got her to the headless lounge and then she was on her own. So basically any photos of “me” with a red bandanna are of QuyetPawz being worn by Ace Shep! Plus side, after the parade I felt better and I was able to get some suiting in that evening.
One instance on Saturday worth highlighting is I took my fursuit head to get fitted for a collar in dealers den which was great. I was looking for Ace Shep to make the arrangements for the parade. I wound up in Sponsors lounge holding a decapitated head. I was thankfully there with Koray who shooed someone from playing with my fursuit head. Someone that I don’t know, who didn’t ask for permission prior to playing with my fursuit head. He shoved his fingers roughly in the nose which is sillinke which could easily be damaged and he grabbed her muzzle and squeezed. Later on Saturday I discovered a crack in the resin that makes up the “skull” of the head. I have looked at it more closely post con and it’s a severe crack that runs from lip to nose. Thankfully, I was able to patch it with apoxie myself. I want to use this case as a teaching moment and say, my head is worth roughly 800$ and if you break it you owe me money to cover the shipping to and from the maker and costs of the repair. Always ask before touching a fursuit head and do so gently. Just because you can be rough with one head doesn’t mean you can be rough with another person’s head. I was in a daze when this happened and it’s Koray who basically got this person to bugger off. Next FE, I will be marching people to security if someone is even a little too rough with my suit and I recommend other fursuiters do the same.
Sunday I went out for brunch with a group of people and despite my leeriness of Tucker’s Marketplace it was good food and I didn’t get food poisoning – the local one here is notorious for making people sick. This day was slow paced and kind of sad because everyone I was rooming with left the con slowly as the day went on so seeing their things slowly disappear was saddening. The energy of the con wound down significantly after con ceremonies where the theme was announced (super heroes), and con attendance was announced (1051). This is when myself and friends buggered off for a buffet dinner at Tucker’s – yes I went to the buffet twice in one day shush. Came back to the hotel and I spent most of my night alone packing since I wanted to be ready to be out by check out time.
Something else I wish to highlight regarding consent… whether in suit or not in suit if you haven’t been given prior consent by someone to come up behind them and grab them don’t do it. Someone right before closing ceremonies saw fit to grab me around the waist from behind and I spun around politely asking to never do that. I realize I made a mistake, I felt the NEED to explain that I have severe PTSD and coming up behind me like that is a really good way to get punched in the face by me and I shouldn’t have done that because touching someone without their consent is never ever okay. To whom did it, I realize it was a mistake which is why I tried to be polite when I asked you never to come up behind me again. I just want to use the situation as an example of things that do happen. Next year, anyone who touches me without my prior consent will get dragged to con security.
One big difference for me this FE versus my past ones is I planned my meals out, seriously I had sneaky events on Facebook with details to meet people at a certain time, certain place and have noms because I’ve found in the past that this is when I truly get to connect and get to know people. Thursday the plan was for Cynphira assisting me with picking up Harvey’s for a group of people which actually worked out great. Friday a planned dinner at Jack Astor’s filled everyone’s bellies and got everyone ready for the hectic Saturday. Saturday I went for the free pizza, next year I may just skip this and join everyone else for a standard meal – I had more fun at the restaurants for a whole variety of reasons. Sunday I went for breakfast brunch with pyat, Koray , valrusthetiger which was fantastic. Dinner I went for brunch with another group of friends. I am planning PLANNED meals again for FE next year and if you want IN on that please message me on Facebook. I’m also planning meals at What the Fur 2015 so please message me on Facebook if you’re interested. https://www.facebook.com/profile.ph.....00009328393129.
I want to thank scani for a wonderful convention, huskyk9 (aka Arc) for ensuring our safety), and everyone else who’s involved at this amazing convention! I came down on a whim in 2013 and loved it so much that I’ve found ways to attend the last 2 years. I’m really proud to call Furnal Equinox my home con and I’m even prouder to say that we reached 1,051 attendees – that’s an amazing milestone!
I want to thank lanakila for being amazing. He’s why I think I got so addicted to these conventions because he was one of the first fursuiters I saw that I really fell in love with because of his performance skills. It was great to chat with him in and out of suit this year.
Oh and now that I’m back from FE I decided that I will be going to What the Fur. It’s all felinaeus

I meant to write this sooner but I was a lazy cat and delayed it…
So I went to furnalequinox 2015 and it was fantastic. I drove down early on the Thursday with sanghaleo, xaviercrystal, zero-karma and diastakumi so we were set with our rooms nice and early. I was put on the first floor almost across from the pool, squee. Everyone arrived on Friday, I roomed with Simbayo, callykitty and nicnak044 - I had a box of candy as bribery for people in the room.
Thursday, I arrived very early like 9:15am early which thankfully after an hour wait got me a room on the first floor (thank you Sheraton for accommodating my mobility issues, I love you). I spent most of Thursday unpacking, napping, getting noms, and getting registered and took a walk through the con space. Thursday I also spent a good hour in the hot tub which made my chronic pain issues very happy – thank you to those in the hot tub who let me get in (remind me who you are again please because my memory sucks).
Friday started for me with Simbayo delivering me breakfast on Friday because he’s an awesome lion. I nommed while he unpacked. Friday my first order of business was hitting the dealers den because someone I’ve been dying to meet was there. My first wander through artists alley I met kikeri.arts and mavrick25 - I quickly commissioned expression sketches of QP from Kikeri Arts because they were awesome. I then walked through the dealers den with the lion body guard at my side (LOL) and I went to the staticclaws booth so I could meet the so fucking fabulous fawxpawz and the rest of her booth team (sinibuns and w0lfpawpaw). Sorry, I have to flail over meeting Fawnix for a minute here, her and I have been speaking on and off for a year or two at this point and she’s been on my “to meet” list for awhile – it was fucking amazing to put a real like person to the voice and name and get a hug from her. And now she’ll probably want to kill me but that’s okay. :P I recall a frantic meowing and scratching at my hotel room door which turned out was Koray! It was wonderful to see her, it was such a busy FE for both of us that I feel like I didn’t get much time with her – sad cat. I suited up for a while and did pester a few people in suit (because yay fun). This is when I dashed off to my room to change for dinner with people!
Post dinner Friday, I wandered around and got some photos. I chatted with an awesome gryphon suiter about features of her suit that were just amazing. I got to the lady furs panel where we discussed an idea that coyoteryan brought forward regarding Den Mother’s and their purpose within conventions. If you’re curious please contact her! We moved forward with social bingo and this is when we realized find out we had some technical issues which eevachu offered to help us with but turns out we had the print outs. Thank you again Eevachu. We were thankfully able to move forward with the panel with no more hiccups. XD Lots of people left with prizes, yay!
Saturday, CallyKitty and Cynphira fetched breakfast at Timmies for everyone in the room. I tacked an extra thing onto my order, a box of Tim Bits because certain Americans mentioned they had never had Tim Bits. Upon delivery of breakfast, I ran out in my PJs no less to deliver said Tim Bits to the dealers den. I’m sure it probably looked special but seriously never having had Tim Bits is a crime, or should be, so it had to be rectified. I got to the booth and handed over the box to the folks at the Static Claws booth where it was met with oooohhhhs and ahhhs and squeees and “OMG woman I love you.” XD I headed back to my room for my breakfast, and on my way back I found a 5$ bill in the hallway next to my room.

Return from Furnal Equinox
Posted 11 years agoI've been delayed in writing a con report due to travel, "welcome home" stress, con crud of doom, and plans I made before the convention. @_@
Before the con I met two women and now I'm seeing both. They both know, everyone's good with the situation. Yay. It made for an interesting build up to the con as I flailed around talking about the excitement and everything building up to the convention.
Now, I was able to go to this convention all because of the kindness of my friends. Since moving I've been exceptionally tight on money and FE just wasn't possible until
Koray, 
Pyat, 
acehart1 and 
eikofinal hatched a plan to get down there. This immense gift on the part of my friends was amazing and deeply appreciated!
Left on Thursday with Acehart1 and EikoFinal from Ottawa. We loaded up and off we went. It's a good long ride but I was so excited I think I only got 20 minutes of a snooze in while in the car. Arrived at the hotel around 10pm. Saw some suiters and people I knew which made me kind of wish I was staying in the hotel that night. Koray and Pyat came to get me and off we went to Hamilton where I stayed the night before returning to the hotel.
Friday we got there around 4pm and I was itching to get into fursuit. I trotted off to get into suit and emerged as
quyetpawzsuit. I got stopped often and couldn't believe the response I was getting from people. I hope I can improve my suit acting skills and posing skills because I still feel "durrrr now that I'm in this thing what do I do?" But... yeah! Then I discovered I lost my hotel room key and that was ... special so next year I definitely need a room key holder set up. I did finally get back in the room to be informed that everyone was fetching Wendy's so I put in my order and stayed in the room while I cooled down, changed, etc. At this point it's about 6:30pm on Friday so I was gearing up for the lady furs panel. I grabbed my stuffed rat, and dead fish plushies and scooted down to Northern Spy. I was pretty impressed that ladies were waiting outside the room for me to get there! :D Once we sent the ladies off on a scavenger hunt around the convention I had my dinner, chatted with the Lady furs staff and a couple late comers arrived so we got to hang out and chat with them. XD It was fun. All in all the lady furs panel was a good success again this year and I hope/plan to do it next year. Afterwards I believe there was more suiting and wandering around. Visited the dance and all that...
Saturday was just... insane. I got a text from
eveindae at 11am requesting I get her a hotel cart that smartass. :P I was still in my PJs so I just put on my fursuit feet and added ears and headed down to the lobby... This is why I looked so thrilled, in leopard print PJs at 11am. :P Was not awake. I collected the grumpy dhole and her things and we headed up to the room where essentially I had a shower and changed into my suit again for more suiting... I was stopped a lot by many different people and everything is just a blur. I felt bad for not recognizing people, remembering people, or just all in all not being able to chat as long as I wanted to... I'm a conversation slut I swear. XD Anyway... Got in the fursuit photo, fursuit parade, had GCC photos taken... Headed up to the room to rest and whatnot... I wound up running around the con again and being super busy. @_@; I hung out with a couple people in their hotel room and I remember one of them said they usually go by the name of Flaun (sp?) for some reason I am absolutely blurry and blanking on spelling and whatnots.
Sunday was quieter. We had to check out so with my fursuit being in the car I just grabbed my camera and grabbed some photos of suiters as I got the opportunity. XD Unprocessed photos from Sunday have been posted here, you're welcome to post them if you so wish just give credit https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l0fpsqdc.....b5d/GFPh4_5J1A . I had the honor of being given photos to hand out to the GCC suiters due to PurplePuppy being awesome and printing photos for all of us. I left around 4pm-ish on Sunday.
Post con-Sunday - Took a nap, had an amazing dinner from this place called the Foodbox in Hamilton. Watched Wind in the Willows and eventually headed to bed.
Monday - I was packed up and ready to go by noon. Had a wonderful home cooked breakfast (nom bacon) and snoozed on the couch while waiting for my ride back. When the ride arrived we hung around and chatted before heading out which was nice. The ride back we hit this insane patch of traffic that delayed us like crazy. I was rather drowsy so the ride back is rather blurry. I know we all talked a lot.
Unfortunately... when I arrived home I received a letter giving me two months notice to move out. I have already contacted some resources to help me out and I've set up an appointment with my social worker person. I have already been checking out my options for housing to get an idea of what to expect while looking and I have a few people with vehicles offer assistance with moving so I'll be able to avoid the cost of a moving truck. I've decided to look for more long term housing options as my health and my wallet can't handle the stress of bouncing from place to place.
Tuesday I got up and headed to a date that's been planned for a week, or two now. It was exactly what I needed after the convention and the news I received. Watched a couple movies, lots of snuggles, and got a massage. I showed her some of the stuff from the convention and she was super excited to hear all about the con fun. :) Here's hoping I can expose her enough to the fandom to have her join us.

We loaded up and off we went. It's a good long ride but I was so excited I think I only got 20 minutes of a snooze in while in the car. Arrived at the hotel around 10pm. Saw some suiters and people I knew which made me kind of wish I was staying in the hotel that night. Koray and Pyat came to get me and off we went to Hamilton where I stayed the night before returning to the hotel.
Friday we got there around 4pm and I was itching to get into fursuit. I trotted off to get into suit and emerged as
quyetpawzsuit. I got stopped often and couldn't believe the response I was getting from people. I hope I can improve my suit acting skills and posing skills because I still feel "durrrr now that I'm in this thing what do I do?" But... yeah! Then I discovered I lost my hotel room key and that was ... special so next year I definitely need a room key holder set up. I did finally get back in the room to be informed that everyone was fetching Wendy's so I put in my order and stayed in the room while I cooled down, changed, etc. At this point it's about 6:30pm on Friday so I was gearing up for the lady furs panel. I grabbed my stuffed rat, and dead fish plushies and scooted down to Northern Spy. I was pretty impressed that ladies were waiting outside the room for me to get there! :D Once we sent the ladies off on a scavenger hunt around the convention I had my dinner, chatted with the Lady furs staff and a couple late comers arrived so we got to hang out and chat with them. XD It was fun. All in all the lady furs panel was a good success again this year and I hope/plan to do it next year. Afterwards I believe there was more suiting and wandering around. Visited the dance and all that...Saturday was just... insane. I got a text from
eveindae at 11am requesting I get her a hotel cart that smartass. :P I was still in my PJs so I just put on my fursuit feet and added ears and headed down to the lobby... This is why I looked so thrilled, in leopard print PJs at 11am. :P Was not awake. I collected the grumpy dhole and her things and we headed up to the room where essentially I had a shower and changed into my suit again for more suiting... I was stopped a lot by many different people and everything is just a blur. I felt bad for not recognizing people, remembering people, or just all in all not being able to chat as long as I wanted to... I'm a conversation slut I swear. XD Anyway... Got in the fursuit photo, fursuit parade, had GCC photos taken... Headed up to the room to rest and whatnot... I wound up running around the con again and being super busy. @_@; I hung out with a couple people in their hotel room and I remember one of them said they usually go by the name of Flaun (sp?) for some reason I am absolutely blurry and blanking on spelling and whatnots.Sunday was quieter. We had to check out so with my fursuit being in the car I just grabbed my camera and grabbed some photos of suiters as I got the opportunity. XD Unprocessed photos from Sunday have been posted here, you're welcome to post them if you so wish just give credit https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l0fpsqdc.....b5d/GFPh4_5J1A . I had the honor of being given photos to hand out to the GCC suiters due to PurplePuppy being awesome and printing photos for all of us. I left around 4pm-ish on Sunday.
Post con-Sunday - Took a nap, had an amazing dinner from this place called the Foodbox in Hamilton. Watched Wind in the Willows and eventually headed to bed.
Monday - I was packed up and ready to go by noon. Had a wonderful home cooked breakfast (nom bacon) and snoozed on the couch while waiting for my ride back. When the ride arrived we hung around and chatted before heading out which was nice. The ride back we hit this insane patch of traffic that delayed us like crazy. I was rather drowsy so the ride back is rather blurry. I know we all talked a lot.
Unfortunately... when I arrived home I received a letter giving me two months notice to move out. I have already contacted some resources to help me out and I've set up an appointment with my social worker person. I have already been checking out my options for housing to get an idea of what to expect while looking and I have a few people with vehicles offer assistance with moving so I'll be able to avoid the cost of a moving truck. I've decided to look for more long term housing options as my health and my wallet can't handle the stress of bouncing from place to place.
Tuesday I got up and headed to a date that's been planned for a week, or two now. It was exactly what I needed after the convention and the news I received. Watched a couple movies, lots of snuggles, and got a massage. I showed her some of the stuff from the convention and she was super excited to hear all about the con fun. :) Here's hoping I can expose her enough to the fandom to have her join us.

Update
Posted 12 years agoLife kind of got a little nuts and as it was due to health and personal reasons I honestly was unable to produce art for awhile. Stress induced art block.
Anyway, I've moved to a more peaceful place where I'm finally starting to feel better and less paralyzed. I'm still getting myself organized and what not but soon I plan to get back on track with everything and complete the pile that's been sitting in limbo.
I feel awful that things have been sitting so long.
This is still the current status list so please go check where I'm at if I owe you something.

If you need to reach me I strongly recommend using email instead because of how unreliable FA has been. My email is quyetpawz[at]gmail.com
