What The Fur - Post Con by Fyger

So a summary of WTF...

Thursday I had a smooth trip over to Montreal, though losing 2 hours really messed with my sleep schedule and made passing out on Thursday night a chore. Was also the night I met Thomas, Lumen Sergal, and Arctic Skywolf. We sorted out sleeping arrangements and had guest steal the spare bed for one night so that they didn't go without sleep.
Friday I finished setting up the table and got some payments from people for other commissions out of the way. Ended up meeting the people around me a bit and getting the extra keycard I had to Valentine. Zets was covered by Arctic. Afterwards went out on an adventure to the mall for food. Had some A&W for supper then went back to the hotel for socialization and some gaming. Actually attended the opening ceremonies which was a fun experience, along with the Chocolate Social which was very tasty too. Went to bed late that night after a LOT of gaming.
Saturday was more of the same in regards to the dealer's Den. Very active day which was nice, lots of people dropping by and saying hi. Decided I would use the down time available to do some arting which I like how ti turned out. May even offer badges in the future (will post results later). That night went out for supper again, but found out that the malls in Montreal close at 5 on Saturdays and Sundays... which left me hungry. Ended up heading back to the hotel and having supper in their restaurant. That night was the dance and was gonna go play with my Diabolo at it though it seemed to have died early or something so ended up going to gaming then heading up to the room and hanging out with everyone there. Was a really relaxing and fun atmosphere. Oh, also caught the end of the Floor War which was really cool. Congrats to both Lumen and Zets for making it so far in it! And congrats to Hunter on a well deserved win there.
Sunday I... slept in... and rushed to the Dealer's Den. Luckily (the night before) I had found out the tail that I had to deliver was for Feli... who was also the con chair... and also the person who ran the booth across from me... which was convenient since I ran into him on route to the Dealer's Den so I could give him his tail! The rest of the day was pretty quite, ended up getting through a couple language barriers with aid from helpful people at the convention. Motivated me a bit to learn French proper. Afterwards I packed up quickly then ran back to the closing ceremonies to see what those were like. Was really interesting and was nice to see how much hard work went into the event. Later in the evening I went out with some locals to an all you can eat Sushi restaurant which was amazing. SOOO much good food, and wonderful company. I wish i could remember everyone's name to thank them but i'm really REALLY bad with names >.<; We socialized for a while then decided to head back to the con. Finally was followed up by the Dead Dog Party which was really calm and relaxed. Ended up helping some people with some things then bringing my Diabolo down, only to put on a demonstration of how to use a Diabolo several time with varying groups of people. After things started quieting down, ended up going to the Game's room once more and played in there till close. Afterwards I helped pack up the room then played one last game with them before taking off to my room at 5 am to sleep.
Monday I... slept in again... till noon this time, when my friend woke me up by calling me on my cell. Was a poor life choice on my part. We went out to Downtown Montreal to enjoy the sights, though first we stopped for Poutine. Proper Quebec Poutine. SO GOOD! Didn't finish it which was wonderful cause I took it back to the hotel and had it for supper that night. After poutine we went to old Montreal and saw the Notre Dame, wandered to the pier through old buildings, took in the sights, I got to see Habitat 67 which was wicked (not up close, from across the river), and we went shopping too. Managed to snag some canned maple syrup which was one item I was requested to get while there. I went back to the hotel after that, had supper and enjoyed some videos then went to bed
Tuesday I got up and shuttled to the airport, got aboard the plane and went home. Nothing super eventful during that... got wifi on the airplane which was advertised as free... but then I had to pay for it which was balls >:C Still paid for it, but wasn't happy about it.

Think that mostly sums up the experiences of the con... can't think of any others at this time that pop out... might have to do a better log of everything that happens next time round.
But yeah, had a blast, and will probably see about attending it again next year :3
