I know its a little late for it, but I figure being late is better then nothing. So FWA was a lot of fun for me. I heard a lot of people did not like the con, the hotel was a pain, blah blah. For me though, I had a complete blast. I got to see a lot of friends on the east coast that iv missed for years now,  omnibahumut,  KovaWolf and  LittleWolf were all great to see again, as well as a few others from my old stomping grounds of philly.

I started out thursday morning, and immediately found  Tigon and  bloodwiser at the airport, on our flight to Atlanta. Despite all of us sleeping the entire way, it was good to have some travel buddies.  ayulf picked me up from the airport in Atlanta, many peaches were consumed, and parking spots hard fought for at the hotel. Finally found my way to our suite on the top floor, met up with

 tigerpawatl,  frisbee,  skroy,  Pip,  JelliThePanda,  neokai and  LupoZeWolf

We had a lot of people, but the suite was massive, so it did not matter. My first order of business was to acquire some beer, Yuengling, and  LittleWolf was more then happy to oblige, as we bought a six pack and finished it between us within the hour, before linking up with Omni:, and Kova for General Tso's dinner next to the hotel. The rest of the night was more drinking, and of course, fursuiting.

Friday morning I woke up and headed down to the gym to try and ward off being fat. My regular routine was pretty difficult, something about being on vacation and drinking beer makes working out harder, who knew. I picked up a pre order badge, got some lunch at the lounge with tigerpaw, and made some rounds around the con to say hello to people. I was able to convince tigerpaw to put on his suit, and we started romping around the con dispensing cuteness to everyone. I had a ball, and im glad I could drag tigerpaw to come out with me for some fun, and pictures. That night we ate at the meat faucet, which was super tasty, and then headed back to the hotel for some drinking and dancing with  matix,  RuishiroKitsune and  esau.

Saturday started pretty slow. I got up with tigerpaw, went to get some food from the lounge, then tagged along as he buzzed around the con. We split of around midafternoon, and I got in suit with Rushiro and Esau for a few hours. Once I got out, I met up again with Omni and Kova to get some beers at Hooters (Yuengling again, murrrrr), and then dinner with Tibolf and Fuzzyzf. We got harassed by a local to go buy beer at a "special" corner store. I realised I liked all my posessions and organs, and kindly ignored his advice. We bought more beer (Yuengling, of course), and headed back to the hotel for another night of drinking and dancing.

Sunday started with another one of my favorites, Dunkin Donuts, as I wandered around the con for a few hours in the morning. I linked up with Tigerpaw again, and bought some photos of our suits together from the Furshoot booth, as a thank you for being so awesome over the weekend. We parted ways as he prepared for opening ceremonies, and I jumped in suit again. I met up with two awesome people at that point,  ponchoyote and  Takoda_Hotah. The three of us had a blast, literally running around the con and entertaining people. The two of them were just a ball of energy, and it was great to let loose and burn off some energy with them for a few hours. We got out of suit, got cleaned up, and headed for dinner at the hard rock. After I got pulled into the irish bar next door for some final drinks with Littlewolf, Omni, and Kova, and then got back in suit with Trace and Takoda (in whisky this time) for a few more hours of late night fursuiting and partying. Sunday was an awesome day, I had a complete blast, im so glad I got to meet some new awesome people that day and let loose!

Monday was hectic. We scrambled to get out of the room, and store our stuff at a friends place until our afternoon flight. I tried to hit the aquarium with a group of friends, but didnt have time due to our flight, even though it got delayed. I showed up at the airport again with Tigon and bloodwiser, to get caught in an epic hailstorm at the airport, which canceled our flight until the next day. Graciously, Tigerpaw let us crash at his house for the night, so we had another fun night with:
Tigerpaw,  uro, neokai,, LupoZeWolf, and a few others. Although it sucked to miss the flight, it was great to have one more night with friends. The next day we got on our flight, and got home safely, albeit very tired from the extra day of travel.

All in all I had a complete blast at FWA this year. I did not really hang out with anyone from the west coast during the con, but it was really great to see some east coast people again that I hardly ever see. I would really consider coming back next year, and I look foreword to seeing a bunch of familiar faces again, either at FWA, or other cons.

Thanks to everyone who made the con so great and special, and a very special thanks to Tigerpaw for showing me a great time in Atlanta!
