So, RainFurrest is over now, it was my first Fur Con. And I have to say......It was the Greatest con I have Ever been too. Anime cons are Nothing compared to Fur Cons. I seriously mean that. Never have I felt that happy at a convention. Just, the best.
Thursday, we arrived at like 11:30 and we checked into our hotel which was the Marriott next door. Got settled in a little and walked over to the Hilton and got our badges. Registration went quickly and smoothly, it was nice! We explored the con hotel a bit and chatted with a few people. After checking everything out, I couldn't wait anymore so we ran back to our hotel room for me to open my new Kuhori mask. We got back and I relaxed a little, then I opened it. She is amazing, I was so damn happy to have her! I tried her on right away and she fits great, at first around my cheeks was tight but it got better the more I wore it. I went out suiting right away! Had a BLAST! Met a bunch of awesome fursuiters and got to see the headless lounge in which, was Awesome. Nitro Shep had an awesome layout for that room. I also attended my first rave Thursday, I danced my little heart out! I LOVED how much longer I could suit and dance in my new mask cause I could actually breathe in it! We danced until about midnight and went to sleep.
(This was obviously before I knew the real parties started at midnight, it was my first fur con what did I know haha)
Friday was Awesome. Shot the dance video, only a handful of suiters showed up but it was still a ton of fun and I cannot wait to put it together. Hugeeeee thanks to Groggy Fox for shooting everything and thanks to all who came and danced! After that I suited around a little more then decided to go de-suit to shop in the dealer's den! My first furry dealers den, loved it. Bought a lot of cool stuff and it was cool seeing everything. We also checked out the art show, in which me and Grave ended up Buying out 2 awesome pieces of art. We stayed out of suit and people watched for a while, saw a lot of great suits! Watched the fursuit games for a bit too. I then, got a really bad headache. Which made me miss the GOH dinner, I was a bit bummed but I didn't wanna be in pain so I went and rested. Then I suited back up (Grave didn't) and we left and waited for the Dance Comp! And right before it started--my camera was dropped. And Broke. I was upset I wont lie. But it wasn't on purpose. So we used my iPhone to get some of the dances on film. After the comp we waited for the dance, and I raved around some more! Grave filming a bit with my iPhone again. After a couple hours of dancing I needed to sleep.
Saturday, the con was starting to get to me xD My legs were extremely strained. I could hardly move. I had to take medicine and soak in the bath to get them to loosen up enough for me to move normally. After I felt ok we suited up and went to the con center. We didn't do much until the Fursuit Parade. Just kinda derped around in fursuits. Chilled in the headless lounge a lot chatting with people. Then we gathered for the parade, I was excited! I did slow down as the parade went on and I got left behind a bit, but I didn't get too far behind! It was fun walking in the parade, I had my cookie plush in hand! x3 people loved it! After the parade and the photo (in which I'm hidden =( too short I guess!) Twinky Arts suits gathered for a little photoshoot! Only 3 of the 5 showed up but it was okay! We had fun! After the parade we had a nice dinner in the Hilton restaurant and then went and rested in our room for a while. We went out suiting again that evening, no raving though because of my strained muscles. Just hung out and suited around!
Sunday we woke up, checked out of our hotel, and had breakfast at Denny's. I suited a lot Sunday, I knew it was the last day and it made me sad!! So I just derped around in fursuit pretty much all day until closing ceremonies. Which was awesome to be at, Love next year's theme. After closing I suited for a little while longer, then went and de-suited and tried to hug and say goodbye to as many people as I could. We wanted to stay for the Dead Dog but they were having difficulties so we had to leave. As we walked away I turned and stared at the con center for a little bit realizing I had just had the best weekend Ever. We drove off and I had a huge smile on my face. I missed everyone before we left the parking lot. xD
So best con ever. I had a freakin blast. To everyone who helped make mine and Grave's first fur con the best, Thank you. This weekend was so special to us and we will never forget it! Were pumped for RF 2013!!!
Thanks again everyone, we miss you!!
