love waitin' in liiiiiiines wooooooo

still waiting... the line is utterly motionless. registration ostensibly opened an hour ago

tyffy got her badge yaaay

i have no standout characteristics so i'll probably be hard to find tho, so if you want to hang out just ping me here or elsewhere

im in the hotel starbucks near registration wheee. for the next few minutes anyway, then im goin to the art show probably i guess?

i keep hearing rumors of friends and cool people and cool friends being here, but they aren't responding to my entreaties to hang out. grumble

day 2: start! excited for everything to open finally

day 3: late start, im still in bed

gettin starbs in the hilton lobby and then ill be floating around the dealer's den and artist alley probably

my collection grows

im departed from furfest... it was a lot of fun, im sad i didn't get to see more folks or spend more time with them

i bought so much goddamn stuff, packing was a struggle

i had a great time

if you're curious about my con armor: i ended up getting seven badges at this con. if you ever hope to defeat me, you must collect them all and attach them to the sacred lanyard

in other words, i'm something of a badge-r now

1: most of my merch haul from furfest. not included are gifts i got for others and, uh, adult materials

2: a close-up of the badges.

badge artists in reading order from top left:
- (my con badge)
- Queblock
- fautbarb
- Songgoishtar
- Moss
- Babirousa
- Maim
- Ettie
- (i don't know who did the art, someone handed this to me)
- Mary Mouse (who also has loads of other CERTIFIED badges)

3: digital commission by Theartmanor

4: closeup of a quick sketch i got from CrunchyCrowe

5: adorable chibi drawing of me and my partner @Forgebold, done in my new sketchbook by wolfie (spikedkanine on FA), who is a friend of ours and a total sweetheart

6: closeup of a tiny doodle Songgoishtar did for me. "im hot bitch" is gonna be a new catchphrase for me

7: close-up of two custom buttons i got. left is by Kittrel, right is by xMichiyo

8: by nightlinez. this wasn't custom but it was 100% adorable so i wanted to point it out

9: art by Sandra SanTara, an archival print, which i quickbought from the art show

i think that's all that was especially notable. i also got one of those baseball caps with a basic LED screen in it but forgot it at the hotel room; someone is gonna ship it to me

@typhlosion wooo! It was out the door when we got in line.

@typhlosion have fun! Many of my favorite people are there right now.

@typhlosion low planning, fragmented attention and indecisive behavior is basically true of all large cons i've been to, usually the agendas settle down after a day or two and it gets easier to connect

@typhlosion !

@typhlosion Glad it went well for you. :3

Are you going to show the stuff later?

@BatElite yesss

@typhlosion :O

Did Sandra SanTara actually paint a feather or is that a clever illusion?

@BatElite i don't know!

@typhlosion Tyflich?

@typhlosion Congratulations on your first con!

@OchotonidKnight first furry con! i've been to magfest for the past three years, and i'm going in 2020 too

but furfest was a whole different experience for sure

@typhlosion I have never been to Magfest before!

I would love to get the opportunity some day.

@OchotonidKnight it's a lot of fun!!!

@typhlosion Yay, floating!!

@typhlosion one of these days I want to come along and get together with everyone, aaa
