Very nice about last weekend: everything! The food! OMG, the food! It was so fantastic! Paris: great atmosphere, a very unique place. The festival: excellent! We had a lot of fun, and so had all the other exhibitors. Met quite some cool people there. And everything was perfectly organized. Also very nice: the large mall near Euro Disney. It puts any American (let alone German) mall to shame. The comic book store was extremely nice, though I didn't buy anything: I would not have been able to stop spending money once I started. And I don't have space for figurines anyway. Oh, and did I mention the food?
Yesterday was the final day of the Tracks festival. We had our presentation on stage (Timduru doing Stepmania, presentation of fursuits, a photoshooting with visitors), which was well received, especially the photoshooting. The place was even more crowded than Saturday. I heard the number of 3700 visitors in total, but I'm a bit sceptic about that. Maybe they also counted the visitors of the Saturday night concert.
One thing: this thing is crowded with visitors. I didn't expect so many visitors. We are extremely popular there, lots of interested and open-minded visitors, many families with children. Luckily, cheetah_spotty did the TV interview. I would not have been able to answer those quite tricky personal questions. And besides all that, we're having a ball.
We (BigBlueFox, Cheetah, Nightfox, TaniDaReal, Tioh and me) are currently at the Rassemblement Les Mondes Hors-Pistes (Gathering of the Off-Track Worlds) in Paris, a festival to celebrate 10 years of the TV programme "TRACKS", which runs on the French-German cultural public TV channel Arte. It is a lot of work, but we're having a great time exhibiting some furry art and show fursuits. If you want to read more about it: bigbluefox is blogging a lot about the event.
After several months I saw the Funday Pawpet Show again. Folks, you really are the masters of pawpet improv!
As skunki's friends list and mine are slightly disjunctive and to spread the word, here it is again: the link to the article at sueddeutsche.de about 2 the Ranting Gryphon (German language.) Sueddeutsche.de is the online edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany's most renowned daily newspapers.The author praises 2's style to be comparable with Woody Allen's and David Byrne's. The live recording was filmed at Eurofurence 12, by the way.
This year was already a great convention year. Starting with a very good Further Confusion in January, continued by the small Herbstcon Sproing! (Herbstcon Spring Edition) meeting, followed by a very relaxing Mephit Mini Con and my first Anthrocon. The latter was unique, due to being able to build a bridge between the business atmosphere of most large fantasy conventions and the laid-back atmosphere of a furry convention. It was really, really hard to top all these excellent moments I had so far.
