FE 2014 - Short Recap by ShujinTribble

THURS:

Ok, so... left later than expected. Phone running map/gps has unexpected reboot 15 minutes before arriving at hotel (at the 401 / 427 split near airport). BAD place to not know where you're going. FORTUNATELY the tablet helped the last few minutes. witchiebunny beat us to the hotel. Took her to Harvey's for burger/shake/poutin... she is now ruined.

FRI:

Went to Downtown Toronto's Younge Street to see about a mission for a friend.... and saw Spiderman Skateboarding down Younge Street. Your arguments are forever invalid. Picked up a couple of Wii games. took a LONG time to get through traffic on the Gartiner Expressway... imagine that. Got back to conspace; ladyfurs panel for TT and I set up for the First Furry Femme Shoot! We had 12 suiters.. and I was THRILLED! Very little public notice, but a good time was had by all! (I'll get pix up soon as all the suiters get their pics.)

SAT:

Biggest piece was the Fursuit Parade.. BECAUSE... While waiting for the parade, I was able to get an interview with 'Grandma Flow' (aka Sue)... and we got to talk about what she thought of the whole Furry Convention thing... AND her memories of my idol Jack Benny. Listen to the file at ( https://www.weasyl.com/submission/520696/fe2014-interview-w-sue-flow-s-grandma ) Got to see babsbunny and lilifox V2.0! (ALL the pinks!) Overall responses from suiters in the parade was the music fit well again this year. (^_^) Thank You!!

SUN:

My Little Pony Panel was fun - with TT as the only correct demographic in the room... Oh, right.. and Gilda too. But, as always, 'All Good Things....' The closing ceremonies were fun: 910 attendees, aprox 25% were suiters; they're not SURE of the number of suiters - they RAN OUT OF TAGS! HUGE thanks to sprocketdhusky who has done GREAT work with corralling the fuzzybutts since the beginnings!

And what closing ceremony would be complete without the reveal for next year's theme:

This year was a little tough - things got on a weird set from friday on, but we had a fun time just the same. Not a s much time visiting folks / getting art, but we'll still see about that. Finances got 'odd' considering I needed to replace my ailing monitor. Ah well.

My best wishes still go out to KTurtle and Soba who were unable to attend. Just know I'm glad you're both safe.

And special thanks to reikuyin for trying to arrange time to see us at the con. I'm REALLY sorry timing screwed us both over on that... but we'll plan FAR better NEXT year - promise!

I'll see about getting some pix up by the end of the month and the radio stream will be a 2 parter; one tonight and one next week.
