Back from FC - Trip summary by Temperance

Back from FC.... I spent the day doing laundry and getting groceries and all that important mundane stuff one does when they get home from a trip. Hopefully I'll be back to work in my studio tomorrow.... I'm feeling a little PCD though T_T

Here's a rundown of my weekend:

WEDNESDAY - I lucked out and ended up on the same flight at Sati and Sergov We had fun traveling down together and having dinner once we arrived :d
I suited in the evening in an attempt to read just my internal clock so I wouldn't be going to bed at 9 and getting up at 6. It worked pretty good! I didn't stay up crazy late, but I wasn't up at the crack of dawn either.

THURSDAY - Sati, Sergov and I went to the tech museum for the Star Wars exhibit. The models and costumes were pretty cool, but the Tech museum tried to sneak in learning by using droids to talk about modern day robots or Luke Skywalker's prosthetic hand to talk about prosthetic technology ¬_¬
We spent the extra money to do the Millenium Falcon experience where you get to sit in a Millennium falcon cockpit. We were excited to enjoy a flight through space and to shoot Tie Fighters and twist some knobs and smash buttons only to discover it was a short movie about space. STOP TRYING TO TEACH ME Tech Museum! I just want to pretend to fly the Millennium falcon like any normal nerd.
I spent the rest of the afternoon/evening suiting in Momo. My roomie Pounce arrived and I helped him unload his car. I tried out for the dance comp at the preliminaries, then spent the rest of the night dancing.
Look... there's even a video of me busting a move: http://youtu.be/MaVOrI_zykI (there are lots of great dancers but you can skip to 2:50 if you just want to watch me)

FRIDAY - I actually didn't suit almost all day O_O I spent the morning spending all my money in the dealers den and checking out the art show. I didn't want to suit and wear myself out in case I actually DID make the cut for the dance competition so I just sort of hung out and people watched. I ended up chatting with sophiemanx for almost 2 hours >< It was so nice to meet you!
I was told at one point I wasn't in the dance competition so I decided to find some friends and grab dinner. I took a side trip to peek at the list to see who DID make it only to see my name and proceed to freak out D:
I rushed back to my room to grab a light snack and suit up in Momo in time to get to rehearsals before the show.
The Dance competition was super fun. Everyone was so nice. I was pretty intimidated with all the great dancers in the line-up, but seeing everyone else freaking out as much as I did actually helped me feel a little better ^

Here's my dance number: http://youtu.be/6jF4ieU8ikQ
I forgot to pack my top hat so I felt a little silly without one. If I had more time I might have been able to borrow one, but cest la vie.....

SATURDAY - No plans in the morning so I popped on Momo and went to do Tai Chi in the Atrium. I have been coming to FC for years but have never taken part in the Tai Chi lessons. I was glad I finally did, it was lots of fun. I've always wanted to learn Tai Chi.... I can now say I know how to do like.... 3 moves X3
I made a little Knives Chau costume to match with the Scott Pilgrim theme of the con. I was able to walk in the parade with 3 others furs who also dressed up. We had another Knives in a Sex Bob-omb shirt, A Gideon Graves and Todd Ingram. Not a single Scott or Ramona to be found. I was kind of surprised actually.
After the parade I put on my Cats costume and me and my roomie Pounce walked around the con as Growltiger and Griddlebone. I left a trail of feathers wherever I went (sorry cleaning staff!). I only managed about 3 hours catting. My feet were killing me in my new shoes. I de-catted and went the the dessert social (another event I have missed EVERY year). Since I wasn't doing the masq this year I was finally able to attend. I think I ate enough to make up for the previous missed years :I

SUNDAY - Fursuit games! Strangely enough I have never done fursuit games before either... I have always been worried to damage my suit.... but now that I have momo I don't mind rolling around on the floor. I wouldn't really call it "fursuit games" so much as "fursuits fooling around" as we really only managed 3 games. Herding fursuiters is a lot like herding cats (some of them even are cats), we're just too busy being silly to listen and too cute to follow rules. It was a fun time though! I'll definitely try harder to do games in the future.
My roomie Pounce and I went out for Indian food after the games :d a most delicious reward.
I found my hawk partial had sold in the art show (Yay!). I found out later it was won by frysco (double yay!). I know he will give him a good home :3
I barely got to dance that night as I ended up chatting in the headless lounge with people.

MONDAY - Packing and home. I had a good time, but I was happy to be back in my own bed :3
