Hello all~ Figured I'd make a con recap since some pretty awesome things happened. Overall had a great time! My favorite part of any convention is being able to hang out and see friends. Whether they are local, far away, or online buddies I meet for the first time- it's great seeing everyone! Gonna try and not make this a wall of text.

So I went with Arthur, Moonstar, Comet, and Yadseut, it was amazing to see them again! We went up Thursday so we would be all situated before hand. When we first get there we are welcomed by some fur friends...... but also some dude blowing vapors who decided to roll around on my car (srs wtf?). We got to be on the first floor which was pretty cool. Convenient, but the view was meh. Thursday is pretty chill, sorta just wandered and doodled stuff.

Friday was our Furry Feud Panel. Again I was nervous even though I knew what I was doing. Despite that and laptop failures (long story), we ran it very smoothly and people seemed to enjoy themselves. IF YOU ATTEND OUR PANEL PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! Major thing was timing. We are talking a lot about what to do next time, but no matter what we are going to try and get 2 hours. Or at LEAST 1 1/2 hours. Arthur has been giving me some good ideas, but I will not say anything at the moment~ 4 Dogs and a Dragon group (Moonstar, LIST ALL PEOPLE) ran the talent show this year, and again it was awesome. Lot more people showed up. They even had the talent show streamed (wished it was recorded bleh). My major regret is being so far away and unable to get good pictures and videos. But man, it was great.

Saturday, oh Saturday. What a very good day that was. Before I get into the meat of that day I wanted to mention two great panels. First off, Nessie's photo shoot (from what she told me) was a great success! I hope she does it again (especially if I manage to get my own partial <3). Also, the dance competition was great. I loved seeing Moonstar and Nessie dance! As well as all the dancers. The big thing that happened is rather long so I am going to make a journal here and direct you guys there. Trust me, it's worth reading :3c After that big wonderful event, a bunch of us went for Minado's SUSHI BUFFET. SUSHI. BUFFET. :3 It was Arthur, Moonstar, Zai, Locke, Nessie, and me. ATE SO MUCH FOOD! Lastly on Saturday- Another. Fucking. Fire Alarm. Happened. Right before the dance. We all had to go outside to the parking lot. It may have only been 11pm, but I was more conscious this time (compared to last year's 3am and woken up to it) to actually wig out over what the hell was happening. Was very nervous, especially when the parking lot lights went out. Gagged over and over, especially cause of all the people and the fumes (when the lights went out, someone got into their car and turned on these massive lights. It WAS good though, we needed that). Finally Arthur had to get me to the grass so I could puke. Got comforted by him and our buddy YapKat (thank you so much, I needed all those hugs). Meanwhile other furs were dancing to 'Turn down for what' @.@ . No fire, no one pulled it - it was a malfunction with the alarms. Luckily it was fixed and we went back in. Night ended with some dancing, hanging at the zoo, and watching Gurren Lagan in the room.

Sunday, I got a case of pre-PCD as I knew it would soon be over. Throat was killing me, I thought I was sick. Turns out I am not (yay!). Packed up and just took it easy. Got to go to the charity concert- that was pretty fun. CAT PIANO @ w @ . Rest of the time was just sitting in the zoo until closing ceremonies. Closing ceremonies was pretty..... I dunno. Empty? Funny, but sorta empty compared to the last two years. Hated saying good bye to buddies.

Some other honorable things to mention (god I know I am missing a hell of a lot)

• Doodled a whole lot with friends.
• Got some AMAZING commissions, two are being worked on now
• We had fast money winners this time at our panel!
• Locke is a true cat now as he likes sushi
• "500 tampons" tweet
• Missed the furmeet panel, but considering what happened it's ok
• The pub food is amazing and you need to at least try it once. Angela is the nicest server there <3
• A lot of the time I felt nauseous in the morning, that's a bummer.
• Never leave the room at night to try and sleep in the lobby, friends will bring you back in. Also it's fun to walk in the hotel bare foot
• RIP outside pool. Fire pit is..... alright
• Mario is best fur. Seriously, the dude dressed up as Mario was amazing. Really super nice to talk to him too. PLEASE COME BACK AS MARIO AGAIN.
