As I stated previously I had no internet at my hotel. Too few IP addresses a tech friend put it. Plus as it turned out I had issues with the main laptop I use. One reason to bring a tablet next time.
Here is what I missed
Believe me I know that Sponsors Pin is a little hard to see but it is on that lanyard.
It started out so differently than I was use to which is mainly waiting for Reg to open then rush over to the Opening Ceremony. It’s strange when you got time
and room to move…
Besides heading to a few panels there is the usual Dealer’s Den and Artist Alley which was fantastic
A friend got in on Fursuit Price is Right
But I would say the proudest moment for both of us was when my friend was on the winning team of The Fursuit Games. A self proclaimed out of shape geek. Believe me they are still smiling.
I think one of the hardest moments for me was Live Like Roo. This year’s charity who helps people when their pet has cancer. My dog died 3 years ago from a combo of old age and cancer. I was conflicted between giving them what I could afford and actually give. The dogs they had were sweet and they do amazing work. If I knew of them back then I know things would have been different.
It’s hard to loose a loved one to cancer, and I do consider pets part of the family. On top of this my own brother died of cancer 10 years ago. So as you see the subject is hard for me. Really I was a mess at the closing ceremony on Sunday.
One more thing my friend as an experiment brought a 25 year old camera that recorded images on a floppy. He managed to give away a few but despite the image quality they turned out pretty good.
He also made a copy of the photo on floppy to anyone who was in a photo with him. Did managed to give away a few. I advised him to make some sort of public announcement for next year.
More tomorrow
