Well, FurFright 2008 has come and gone, and what a blast it was!

Farraptor, Kojac, and Finnish Fox

From a socializing standpoint, this convention was a success. The hotel had an atrium in the center which made for a great gathering point, and since the security desk was also there, I got to bump into a great many people even while on duty. This made the con much more enjoyable as "work" was less like "work".

Random people I chatted with (and some I met for the first time at the con): [livejournal.com profile] shortwave81 (Thanks for the glowsticks!), [livejournal.com profile] horny_oryx, Gray Wolf, [livejournal.com profile] brothervega (sorry about having a mouth full of Oreos), [livejournal.com profile] petercat, [livejournal.com profile] unclekage, Grandma Kage, Grandpa Kage, [livejournal.com profile] finnishfox, [livejournal.com profile] therustyhusky, [livejournal.com profile] denimwizard, [livejournal.com profile] midori8, [livejournal.com profile] creatureshock, [livejournal.com profile] davinwarter, [livejournal.com profile] farraptor (It's not every day when I meet someone for the first time when they're in fursuit), and [livejournal.com profile] tilt_longtail (it was nice meeting you OUT of fursuit!).

[livejournal.com profile] keapano, Raff, and Tamen, it was a pleasure meeting you folks for the first time. I hope you'll be able to make it out to more furry cons.

Fennecus Kitsune, it was also cool meeting you for the first time.

[livejournal.com profile] boixboi, it was good seeing you again for the first time in what, 3 years? :-)

As I was working security with the Dorsai Irregulars, I got to see some familiar faces there, both DI and non-DI. [livejournal.com profile] scs11, Renegade, and Carol Gobeyn were all present, as were [livejournal.com profile] drzarron, Xander, Kasi Frost, [livejournal.com profile] evil_dwagon, [livejournal.com profile] mrianti, [livejournal.com profile] toracub, and the rest of you.

Mrianti and Sgt. Steve


[livejournal.com profile] athauglas and [livejournal.com profile] cliff_husky, you guys completely cracked me up at Cakecon. Yes, Cakecon. It was a real life party with cake. Lots of cake.

If you made it this far, then you're probably looking for my full dump of pictures. They can be found on Flickr at http://flickr.com/photos/dmuth/sets/72157608249142588/.

For a final photo, this is [livejournal.com profile] tilt_longtail and Grandma Kage, reenacting a famous picture:

My head asplode.

So anyway, I'm looking forward to next year's FurFright.

I'm also looking forward to Midwest Fur Fest next month. I hope to see everyone there!

Just for my own clarification here, do we know each other from online or elsewhere?

If not, that's cool, I'm just trying to make sure we don't already know each other! :-P

nope we've never met. anthorcon 2008 was my first con, and when i was watching the comments you would always post first "bumped to the front page" i feel i know you, from how many posts ive read of yours. but we've never met. i saw you for the first time at furfright. but i never introduced myself. too busy going crazy in my fursuit. if i see you at MFF i'll introduce myself. then this wont seem so "weird"

Yep, I'll be at MFF. I'll be working the Art Show there.

The rest of the time, I'll be around, but silent and sneaky, like a ninja (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnAKMl8QoP0)!

Awesome photos! =D

I also must ask...do you know who the otter(?) in the Roman Soldier get-up is? I wanted to tell him that I thought the suit and garb was awesome, and to see if that was his fursona as well :)

Yes, that's [livejournal.com profile] finnishfox.

It's not his primary fursona, though.

Still though, even if it's not his primary fursona, it looks awesome :) I remember seeing a Roman Soldier lion fursuit at Anthrocon as well, and I liked that one too...I hope to see more in the future, it's something you don't see a lot of the time :)

Wasn't mine, it was at CakeCon. And yes, I donated. It was worth it.
