CALIFUR PICS
Califur.3 – Saturday
So this is the first con’ I’ve ever been to, and hurrah for me – it’s also the first furry con’ I’ve ever been to, two for the price of…well actually only $25! XD
Woke up at 6:20AM and got ready, left my house around 6:40AM. I was going to be the one driving, so I had to go pick up all my friends. About 15min. to my friend Zach’s – he’s a blue fox, and from there another 10min. to my friend Jen’s house. Jen’s a pink vixen. She had a partial Fursuit consisting of a commissioned headpiece and paws and a tail that she made herself. From there we drove for about a half hour to go pickup my pet Kitten, a feline, obviously. It was about 10AM by the time we showed up at the con’.
Once we showed up we had to get our badges and pay, which actually didn’t take as long as we thought… lol
We wandered over near the Art Den for a few min to take a quick look around. First thing I did was grab a copy of Steven Martin’s Bump-Er Crop 2k3 CD, ran back and put that in the car and then joined my friends again. Zach bought himself a cute lil blue fox tail and we helped pin it onto the back of his pants for him. Kitten was getting bothered by ‘Evil Pup’ – some big red dog, he wasn’t too bad – but I could see why she was getting annoyed with him. We decided to head to the other side of the room and figure out what to do. I called my pet Kit and cheered him up a bit since I wasn’t around and then we wandered over by the video room and the Fursuit Lounge.
We hung out in the lounge for a while, it was nice and quiet and the AC was all the way up – there wasn’t much going on until later in the day, so we just rested a bit. After that we walked down the street to an Asian marketplace and got some lunch. Spent about an hour eating, it was very good.
After that we headed back to Califur and snuck into the gaming room for a while. Not many people in there so we went back to the lounge to hang out again. We were waiting for the showing of Watership Down to play a few rooms down, cause we wanted to see it, but when it was supposed to start – they let us know that they didn’t have the movie… Darn! Everyone was loving Jen’s partial suit too, lotsa picky requests.
That was okay though because the Fursuit parade was starting and we Jen wanted to go join in.
Oh man was that fun, lots of really well done suits and all very smexy.
Got a lot of pictures of everyone and hugging ensued following just about every picky I took.
After that, we started chatting with this really cute artist named Amber Fox. His friend had been sold earlier at the pet auction so he wouldn’t see him till 12AM that night – poor guy, so we let him hang out with us until we left. Went back to the lounge cause we didn’t wanna be apart of the auction either, so we chatted with some fursuiter’s for a while.
It was around 5PM or 6PM and the Art Den was supposed to close in a few hours, so we ran back over there to find some stuff to buy. OMG was there some amazing art, Jen even grabbed a piece by balla.
I got a cute fox laying in the grass and a lil bunny hugging a fox. Kitten bought Kit a t-shirt that had a lil stick-figure of a fox running around on it that said “LOL FURRIES”. XD
After that we hung around with Amber a bit longer, we were waiting for someone to come pickup Zach, it was already 7:30PM by the time he showed up and we were all so exhausted from walking around all day that we ended up leaving then as well.
Drove everyone back home and got back to my house around 9:30PM at least. My friend wanted to take me to go see Spiderman 3, but I was just too tired, so I crawled into bed and went to sleep.
I’ll edit the topic once my film is developed and ready around 2PM today and let ya see all the piccy’s I took.
