Rocky Mountain Fur Con: Post-Con Thoughts

[zetasyanthis]

RMFC is probably the single most fun and amazing thing I've ever been a part of.  I'm intentionally using the phrase 'been a part of' because, like most cons, a con is fundamentally the people who are there as much as it is a pre-set table of events.  I'm planning to go again next year, and to further fur cons as I am able, because it was a tremendous experience.  I'm even going to throw in some volunteer time next year, because I'd like to help keep it as awesome as possible!

Thanks to Squawk, Saberclaw, and DOPR for making the trip with me!  They were a blast to travel and party with, and I heartily recommend them to everyone's positive attentions!  Cons are way more fun with friends to share them with, and you are all great ones to have.

Some random and cool observations:

1)  I've only been to two cons before this, both only for a day (Tucson Festival of Books and Phoenix Comicon).  They're fundamentally different types of cons, but I know at least Comicon and its ilk are by far the most popular.  They're fundamentally commercial cons, with a side of cool panels.  You sort of need to know people ahead of time to have fun there.  RMFC is different because it's a about a community rather than an interest, and that makes it very special.
2)  At RMFC, you end with more friends than you started with Bloodwriter, Blackr41n, Azurii and more were awesome to hang out with and chat with.

I went from being wishy-washy about this side of myself to being proud to be a part of this community.  I want to help build what others have started, and I think we have something really quite special here. 

Thanks, everyone, and Don't Forget to Be Awesome!  :)
