Furry Times

Usually Sunday at most fur cons things start winding down. At FM not so much, oh sure we had people leaving the hotel. But then throw in Saberspark hosting another panel in Main Events. You got something.

Did go to a panel talking about what kind of cameras to buy, and that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get yourself a good camera. For those like me who are really into it.

The sticker panel was great, got some, and was able to trade for them.

Fursuit Games was wild, it ended with a Tug of War. Got the whole thing on video, and will be posting it hopefully soon.

Nerf Wars was something new to me and I had to check it out

Crazy I know

Which only leaves the Closing Ceremony, which was wild

They are all tentative numbers for now

2493 attendees… a clear jump of roughly 700 over last year

$8042 for charity

and the wildest thing of all

Saberspark was invited to come back as GOH next year…. and he finally admitted he was a furry.

To say the least Saturday was a very interesting day for me. In not a good way.

My day started with a panel on Irish music. It was really nice.

The Fursuit Parade for me started out okay. I found my spot, set up my tripod and camera and poof.

The parade happened and I had forgot to recharge the battery in my camera. I tried my cell, too much is a hurry and lets just say I didn’t record a thing.

Although the fursuits were fantastic

I am sure it was recorded by others

My bad luck with the Saberspark panels continued. Imagine arriving a bit early only to find out all the seats were taken and you got at least 30 standing.

The Streetpass panel was beyond delight. I finally gave away 2 things I consider junk. Also had about 64 hits to Streetpass. 3 puzzled completed and more than 1 shocked that Fur Cons attract Streetpass.

The Social Anxiety Panel helped, especially after the Furry Price is Right panel was cut short and my anxiety panel lasting only 30 minutes.

That just left the 85 Years of Convention History which was amazing.

It was full day and i was tired for some much needed rest.

Tomorrow will be my last report at the con, and more detailed reports soon after along with videos.
