2:10a AC 08 Report
Wow. What a con.
AC 08 just left me speechless.
I've only been to the smaller cons, so AC was mindblowing. KP was right when he said that AC is like a "small furry city." And I felt right at home there. ^___^ Getting to hang out with all my friends and meet new ones was pure heaven. And there were plenty to see.
I finally got to meet Lace and his mate Pdawg on the first day. XDD Now there's a funny story behind how I met Lace. I went over to the lobby of the Westin where Lace said he was and didn't see him. So I called him again. He says, "I'm waving my hand in the air. See me yet?" By this time, I've spotted him so I say, "No, I don't." He keeps going on while I'm sneaking up behind him, listening to him talk. I even rest my arm on his shoulder without him noticing. XD I listen to one more sentence from him, hear the satellite delay over the phone, lean over into his ear, and say "Hello, Lace." You should have seen him jump! XDDD He ran to hide behind another fur. But it was all in good fun, and we hung out a bunch during the con. ^____^
Another fur I finally got to see was Tekfox, but I got to meet him in suit first. Snowfox and I were wandering through the dealer's den in suit when I spotted him from across the room. I was like, "Hang on, Snowfox...I think...I know that fox!" And I went running across the room to see if it was him. And, of course, it was! ^__^
I also got the chance to debut Blackie at the con, and this was the perfect con to debut him. ^___^ I got the chance to suit almost every day of the con, and during the parade. XD Plus I discovered the joy of laying in front of a huge fan in fursuit...Cool, moving air is <3. XD
(If you wonder why I seem to be rambling...it's because I can't put this con into words. That's how amazing it was. I am not kidding one bit.)
A big thanks to everyone I saw there...a few notables here:
-Lace -Pdawg -Lucky -Skuff -Larka -Tani -Nightfox -BBF -Kobuk -Emerson Collie -FoxB -Orona -Perro -Kodi Pup -Yukon Wolf -Podamy -Shortwave Husky -Electropaw -Twitch Da Woof -Snowfox -Banshee -SemJay -Balto Woof -Latin Vixen and Adam -Stathgar and so many more...
If you want to see more pics, check out Yukon Wolf's gallery. ^___^ He got plenty of pics of me in suit.

Ever get that feeling that you're ready for something?
I don't know what I'm ready for or why, but I am just........ ready.
It's kinda neat.

3:07a holographic sticker con badge thing
So I commissioned a small badge from somebody in artists' alley on Saturday and gave them my phone number, but I never got a call. I don't remember their name or anything, but they were doing small badges on holographic sticker paper and were pretty close to the registers. They had One Piece and Phoenix Wright characters done up as examples. So yeah, I kinda feel stupid for not getting any info from them and I didn't keep my copy of the receipt, if there was anything on that. Anyone know who I'm talking about? They were with a group of people, I think, so hopefully somebody knows. It was only $15, so it's no big deal, but the badges were so cool and stuff, so I kinda want it. D:

10:28p dreams
Dude, I've been having very vivid and lucid dreams lately.
One in particular which was very lucid I was almost in a drug-like state (very snuggly drugs, don't wanna name names) and at an orgy. Only it was a snuggle orgy.
It was cool! And I would wake up and go back to it.
I hope I have more.
current mood: snuggly

11:57p Oy.
Was watching some "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" On ABC Family, when I noticed a commercial for a Harry Potter movie weekend. I didn't care that much about it because i've seen the movies. But for some reason the commercial said this.
"Celebrate your American Independence by watching three Harry Potter movies all weekend!"
Yeah... Harry Potter is NOT American, but I guess they think so!
Oh, and they now have the rights to That 70s Show....which have PARENTAL DISCRETION warnings at the beginning of the show, sad..

12:45a Does This Make Me A Good Artist?
Whoa.
I like...did stuff awesomely.
See, I posted on the FA forums asking for people to give me $7 for a full color digital picture using a new technique I was going to try. Of course, I didn't have any examples. So I made one.
Um...I'm rather proud of it.
Heh...um...commissions, anyone? $7, same level of quality, up to 3 characters with background?

In the spirit of this year's 4th of July, I was wondering if AC would be doing anything to honor the holiday next year, since it falls during AC.

5:57p ferrety quickMeeps
rainbowBoingeyFerret summarizes Anthrocon 2008 inna quicklist
high points:- meeting new furs
- quality time with "old"/pre-existing friends, particularly geeking out with Fizz otter (I've been waiting a YEAR for that opportunity since first seeing his Chromatail!)
- the best dining EVER (thanks to friends "in the know")
- continued cheap dining thanks to Steel City Diner and Francisco's
- finally getting a fursuit migration tag
- seeing an entire family at the diner with wolf tails
- the wolf-tail little girl who got to play with all the fursuiters
- being in Magnus' masquerade skit
- the custom key-cards THAT WE GET TO KEEP!
- the 2 headless lounges and the awesome multi-head-cooler
- sharing the drive to & from Anthrocon with a fellow fursuiter (plotting deviously devious future skits all along the way)
- staying overnight at Skywize's afterwards (6 sweet ferrets and many cats & dogs living together in harmony!)
- getting a quick swim (water weezil that I am), but it was LONELY in that lap-only pool
- Firehopper giving me MORE BLINKIES!
- all those who supplied me with caffeinated beverages
low points:- missing Nonsanity's panel
- my charity auction donations did not yield much in bids
- ALL THE RAIN
- the hotel does not tolerate room parties thus destroying a time-honored sci-fi convention tradition of quality schmoozing time & opportunity to meet new friends
- paying $45 for parking Thur-Sun because I didn't find the cheaper lots when I arrived
in the rain during a baseball game in the nearby stadium

5:05a Go, Suburban Dad Ninja!
It's Saturday, 5am. The sun is coming up. I've got a tin full of tobacco, three cans of Carling, and I'm watching Ninja Terminator on Google Video.
Fantastic

11:18p To entertain myself...and perhaps YOU???
The E.L.F. and Cockroaches...so playin this at Feral this year!
Tor, a kiwi who lives next to my parents, introduced me to goodshirt...and I love this song...it's beautiful...and it's amazing cause the first line makes it sound like Ontario, not New Zealand...i'm so covering this at Feral! this year ;) (Warning...desperate-furriness in this video)
Last but definitely not least...that guy with the acoustic you see here at the Milwaukee Irish Festival...that's Ryan McLarnon, the dude I used to write songs with and was in a band with for...well, for all of high school ;) The guy at far right is his brother Jef, probably the most talented musician I ever got to interact and jam around with. And here I am in a room full of instruments and nothing to do ;)
