Plans for FC2014?

I know, they axed the "how to quit the fandom" panel.

Presenter dropped out.

Shocking.

Are you saying they quit the fandom?

So far, the biggest thing to report from FC is that the Hilton lost all water pressure early this morning. Other than that, the twitter stream is about what you would expect — Adventurecru zaniness, public drunkenness, and complaints about people in the fursuit parade. Also, in addition to the volleyball con, there's a real estate conference staying in the Hilton, and a hemp con down the street.

Oh, and a furry site got targeted by a DDoS attack, but that's boring and too much like work.

Presenter dropped out.

... did you just make a funny?

Altogether, this was a really good FC. The panels were bland, the dances had their high points, and I had some great experiences.

Notes for next year:

• The fursuit parade shuts down the whole con, which is really annoying.
• Bring your own goddamn water bottles. Seriously, how do I forget this every time?
• It is seemingly impossible for me to go a whole day without seeing either GR at random, or Uncle Kage in the Hilton elevator.
  
• Keeping an eye on the twitter hashtag is always a good idea
  

I'll have more later, once I've gotten a chance to find real internet.

Also, the Klingons still know how to throw a goddamn party. Pity it had to be next door to some suite that had a Ron Paul chia pet in their bathroom.

They're not having any pre-reg for '15. How far up is the con staff's collective heads up their asses? I hate waiting in lines.

It's been barely a day since the con concluded. How do you know?

Maybe the revamp will eliminate the lines next year. Who knows.

I believe they meant there is no at-con pre-registration this year and that online pre-registration will be available after they do their software upgrade.

So I took a few pictures at fc2014, one of which is just a screenshot of Twitter:


I really think this screenshot sums up the convention experience: besides the official con event (the fursuit parade, which is annoying in that it shuts down the entire convention), prost is there to laugh at the fandom (fuck you), some cocksocket is there to guzzle cum, people wake up bored, and someone who isn't there complains about not being there. Oh, yeah, and some stereotypical drivel about foxes, to round off the mix.

The others are coming later, because they're huge and blurry and I need to make thumbnails. Plus, you're not supposed to take pictures in the art show, but I broke that rule BECAUSE I'M SO EDGY
