I'm in Pittsburgh. My luggage isn't.
Did I complain about US aviation recently? Well, in the light of today's experience I have to take that back.
Last weekend we went to our first rehearsal of this year's pawpet show. It's always amazing how many people and pieces of luggage can fit into my VW Golf. My travel companians were Reesa, Eisfuchs, FinFarenath and lynard_), plus a large amount of Folkmanis puppets and Eisfuchs' keyboard. The rehearsal went surprisingly well, cheetah_spotty and Eisfuchs have outdone themselves again with the story. This year's show will rely more on storytelling and less on effects — don't worry, there will still be plenty of those as well, of course. And lots of comedy. I'm afraid I cannot tell more about it for now. All I can say is: come to Eurofurence 13 and watch the show!
I'm back from Mephit Minicon 10 at the Freusburg and I had a blast. Excellent weather (except for some rain on Saturday morning), good food, a very friendly youth hostel staff, good organization. What I liked best was the MMC Café -- excellent idea, folks! -- and of course the Big Blue Dance. I went to bed at 4 AM though I would have loved to dance some more, however my knees told me that it wouldn't be a good idea... Before the dance cheetah_spotty and Eisfuchs were the auctioning off some pieces from the art show. Hilarious!
I just bought the flight tickets to Anthrocon. Unfortunately with Air France via CDG as everything else from NUE is terribly expensive, but if they mess up my baggage I'll survive the few days without it...
HCSE is a very cosy, small furmeet in a former church near Fulda. It was very good to meet friends again, chat through the night and have excellent food (thanks to our chefs!) Exactly what I needed after the previous straining weeks. If possible I'll be back next year. Thank you, somewolf for organizing!
What else happened on FC? I watched the Critterlympics (or, Fursuit Destruction Derby, as I like to call it), attended the fursuit head construction SIG, watched the masquerade, missed the Sub-Level 03 concert due to exhaustion, bought some more t-shirts, got two pictures by tanidareal from the art show, watched the fursuit parade, bought a book and two magnets, went to FNL, and finally drank a cocktail and a glass of wine at the bar with Tani, bigbluefox, Jaryic, lynard_, Kayjay and Kacy and her gang.
I'm late again with the journal, but this time due to too much to do than the (not perfect, but usable) Internet connectivity here at the convention hotel.
