What a great idea.

thanks so much...

V.

I love this, thank you so much for sharing these photos. *waves* at you all from Downunder. *hugs*

*waves back and sends a hug back...

V.

I did... I really did...

Thanks Ghost...

V.

Gah, this is amazing! What a great group!

it was!

V.

I see a few familiar faces there, but more 'friends I have yet to meet'! Cool deal, having a grey muzzle breakfast! I'd have loved to be there and join in the fun! >:3

I'd have loved for you to join in!

V.

One day I hope to! I need to get around to some cons!!

Seeing a photo like this really makes me want to go to a convention one day. I am happy to know it is being a good and fun event for you all, keep us posted =).

and one day you will go to a con...

V.

Yus! Once I resolve the distance problem I am definitely going ^.^

way cool...

V.

*smiles... wish you were there...

V.

Looks like you folks had a great time. I wish I could have been there.

I would have let you ride the scoot! (*smiles so very big...)... you would have fit right in and in a big way too...

V.

Seriously, what did you send me via MailDrop? What I opened was definitely not what you described...which is what prompted my outrageous response. It shut my machine down.

a small video that would make you smile...

V.

So, what are the qualities of a Gray Muzzle? I know what Mel White has to say about them. Some of these folks don't seem to even be over four-oh.

the invite is actually open to everyone... if they want to come, I see no reason to be exclusive... by the way - one of the fellows there told me he had a picture of the dinner given at the very first furry con with the fellow who organized the whole thing... that's awesome...

V.

Wunnerful!

The table needs an enormous floral centerpiece that blocks view. It could also use a model train to pass salt and pepper back and forth.

*laughs... yes but this was totally informal...

V.

Looks like a good time was had by all! :D

it was, it was...

we had a few problems beginning with how many folks showed up (we were not expecting that at all) but everyone graciously did their best...

V.

Gracious and accommodating... the fandom shows its true colours here.

so very true!

V.

Good food and company all around and a good host to top it off, I'd certainly show up again during a future con.

Good! Because we intend to do it again next year...

V.

looking forward to round 3 next year, maybe we'll have a little A/C next time though

absolutely!

V.

*HUGS*

Great shot of all the folks upstairs and the fun (and delicious foods) we were having!

Thank you again, Vixyy, for setting this up! What a wonderful response from all the folks at the con. As you said, Vrghr was totally unprepared for so many to show up!

Wuff has already browsed the website for Caribe Royale, the new venue, and found out that they too have a buffet breakfast option. So the potential to do a "Round 3" of this is there. This wuff is really hoping we can pull off another one next year! *grin* We'll take the lessons learned here to make it all the better next time.

Was so much fun seeing you and your wife, and all the friendly furs here.

*HUGS*

That's wonderful news! and ditto to all the nice things you mentioned... great seeing you too Wolfy...

V.

So many smiling faces! Very happy that this event was the hit it evidently was. And you and Vrghr hosted a writing panel too? Way cool.

I had the panel all to myself and did I have a good time!

V.

Quite the turnout!

I was in shock!

V.

It certainly looks as though you had a wonderful time! ^__^

We did! I felt so bad for everyone because it was so blinking hot but that was set aside and no one complained a bit.

V.

It's a nice banquet that this picture has.

why thank you... trust me, we had no idea this many folks would show up...

V.
