This hit me hard. I used to be in tears because people were having "life changing" experiences at furcons. I never learned to deal with that, instead FCN came to my town and I was happy. Now it's gone. And I'm in tears again.
I have nothing but regret for every time I was too shy to talk to the cool people and take down contact info. Every time I chickened out on games like a SSBB tourney and Are You A Werewolf.
It's hard for me to express how much this meant to me, maybe what I wrote about this con before will help.

I tapped the memories by playing Brawl for the first time in -years-. Just now I beat the level 9 cpus consistently. (How? I'm so rusty!) Now I'm ready. 6 years late.
thanks. someone who agrees with me i don't get out enough. i'm thinking of going to the local meets which will now be more important - FCN didn't spring out of a vaccuum (even though it seemed like it did) - it grew out of the local furry community which is surprisingly large.
Heh, as someone who doesn't get out enough, it's easy to me to diagnose the same problem in other people. :D
Anyway, it sounds like a good plan! I'm sure that there are lots of furs in Michigan, hell, there's even a fursuiter close to where I live, and here is the middle of nowhere! I hope you're braver than me and manage to meet them in real life, hehe.

Oh, sorry to hear that, Runewuff. You sound like a good person who could use a few more opportunities to have fun. I hope you can find an alternative to that, somehow...
I wish I could have something else to add, but as I've never been to convention myself, well, I got no idea.
