Furry Fiesta Summary by Buckdasystem

It was good. I feel kinda bad I may have brought the mood down for many because of my overworry of my commission list and school work (then my stomach problems kick up and people who stayed to Monday getting screwed). So lets run down a bulletpoint list.

-The artist alley...SO MUCH BIGGER, probably bigger than the dealer's den, however the problem is how they handle the tax information made it to where anyone that hadn't prepared months in advance for the con coudn't get in. Hoping this gets resolved next year.
-Fursuit parade was a bit brief, at much to the disappointment of viewers, but probably to the comfort of the suiters
-If you were a foodie, this con is for you. Again, the normal food venues as usual, but even better with foodtrucks being brought in. Had to make sure to get in before everyone else as they were always cleaned out
-The panels this year were less "colorful" than previous years, didn't find many really to go to or I feel like I missed out on like some of previous years (like "no it doesn't bend that way")
-As unbelievable as it might sound, we had 6 fully functional elevators for the entire con, none of them ever broke down and neither did the escalators

So awesome to meet and hang out with all kinds of people, prolly didn't get to stop by and visit everyone who wanted to visit. Came in and roomed with Neopagan Neopagan with SableyeMoisty dropping by frequently. Spent a lot of time with Oceanotter Oceanotter and bouncybrownbear their gang of miscreants: Bersel, Mitchkenzo, Smokey, Zonedragon, and Rubysnoot Rubysnoot.
Some of the others I briefly got to hang out with and wish I could have spent more time around were willowwhitefox, Sirkain Sirkain, and kitsunekit kitsunekit so hopes to seeing more of you arond next year or at AC if you happen to be going.

Finally, plans for next year is to book 1 or 2 con panels and offer education and advice towards art stuff. Well that as a polite way to word it. I'll elucidate my viewers on information of how to become better at art or what makes good character design, very much like some of my past rants, and then let open season on anyone who wants an "honest" critique on their style or characters.

So until next con (Anthrocon) see you laters.

    I'm glad you had a decent time! I really hope to meet ya maybe at AC 2016, as I can't go this year due to new job and no vacation time.

    I heard there was a slight issue once on thursday with an elevator, but it got fixed quickly, as there was also a single moment where the down escalator was shut down, but again got fixed within the hour. Was really happy to see that they were working properly the entire time basically though.

    Also think they should re-route the parade to have it move around a bit more. Know it's a bit hard since last year the escalators caused suiters to get dirty paws, but like you said, this year's route was a tad short.

      Well the hotel doesn't have a set of first floor stairs (not even on the side). The first year they tried to have a parade route on the escalator and it was pretty bad

    I REALLY enjoyed TFF this year. It was great to see how far this con has come since the first few years. Shame I never spotted you there!
