Photos of fursuit from EF12

I've been trawling through the various collections of photos taken from EF12 to find any photos of my new fursuit.  I've now uploaded them all to a gallery on the much disused fursuit.co.uk gallery which can be viewed from here - http://www.fursuit.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=55

I know there's more to come as timduru took a number of great photos on the first night.  Just waiting for him to put them all online :).

Eurofurence: The Report - Day 2 (Thursday)

Thursday, I reluctantly woke up reasonably early to hit the showers before anyone else. It's worth pointing out at this moment that Eurofurence is held in a youth hostel and not a hotel.  As such, luxuries such as ensuite bathrooms don't exist. I wasn't too keen on the whole communal shower thing so just wanted to get it out of the way.  I needn't have worried really as it wasn't really a problem during the time I was there.  It was just a bit awkward changing clothes while in the shower.  arakinuk had the right idea of bringing a dressing gown to overcome this problem.

Anyway, after showering, had breakfast (which is served between 8-10am only so you can't sleep in if you want breakfast) which consisted of a selection of rolls, sliced meats, cheese, various cereals and yogurts.  Nothing special, but it filled the hole until lunch time.  After breakfast, I met up with rasetsugalford and mecklar who missed breakfast.  As such, they decided that we should venture out for something to eat and I needed to get myself a toothbrush.  I think Utah came with us too at this stage, a UK fur I hadn't met before.  Wondered around trying to find a cash machine for Mecklar but failing miserably.  Ended up buying uber bakery products such as a chocolate covered croissant which was very tasty indeed :).

On getting back from town, I went in search of the Kangaroo boot demonstration which I thought would be interesting, however they weren't anywhere to be seen.  So, I ended up mingling until lunch time came round.  Can't remember exactly what it was, I think it some sort of chilli type thing which was pretty nice nonetheless.  Following lunch, was the Fursuit Gameshow which consisted of various tasks which would be reasonably easy for the normal person, but difficult if you're wearing a bulky furry costume.  Rounds consisted of random things such as hula hoop spinning, transporting balloons, picking up sicks (forget the proper name for this), carrying unicorn toys and blowing bubbles.  On the projection screen to the right of the stage was an image featuring the picture omega256 (Murray Mouse) drew for my fursuit.co.uk site which made me smile.

After the gameshow, I went back with pippinbear, durandal2uk and calihusky to get suited up for the fursuit photoshoot.  However, as the gameshow overran somewhat and it took the guys time to get dressed, by the time we got to the photoshoot room, they were packing up.  so instead, we pratted about in fursuit and wondered outside breifly before going back to de-cattify.

Had dinner at 6pm which was remarkably like breakfast but with minor revisions.  I'm having trouble remembering what happened the rest of the day, but I do remember getting exceedingly pissed off at the fact that the Heather Alexander concert was overring by about 2 hours and I was getting really tired, wanting to suit up again for the fursuit dance which was due to follow the concert.  When it did finally finish, I did have a good hour or so dancing about in fursuit to rave style music, which was really fun in itself, if a bit sweaty.  Sadly I couldn't keep going as long as I would have liked and ended up crashing on my bed and falling asleep while the dance was still going on.  Remember, my room was just a hop, skip and a jump away from the main stage which was playing very loud dance music, but I was so zonked, I just slept right through.
