An Anthrocon Photo Dump
There's this thing that happened at Anthrocon that . . . well, I . . . uh . . .
You guys, I took over 1000 photos. In four hours.
300+ of them are over on Flickr, but I really wanted to show a few of my favorites here. Apparently, two posts about Anthrocon wasn't enough to fit them all in, so here's another one. BLAME IT ON THE SPARKLY LIGHTS.
We have established how much I love things that light up, right? SOOOO much. Glowy blue eyes are always going to be full of win for me.
Also full of win:
And:
And:
Win. Win. Win.
What's not full of win is the lighting in the lobby of the Westin. Somebody get on that for next year, mmkay? Maybe the guy on the right could use his blinky eye light magic to beef things up?
Or this guy could just do a little hocus pocus?
Or we could send this one in to force the issue?
Regardless, a few nice white spotlights would make everybody look better.
Though, he doesn't need much help. He's pretty awesome even in bad lighting. So are all of these:
Seriously, I could go on and on and on. There are SO many fun pictures I want to post everywhere.
Alas, this will have to do.
Wait! One more.
I cannot wait until next year.

Do you think they smile under the costume for the photos?
@Michelle, I cannot speak for everyone, but I did everytime someone wanted to take my picture.
I know that *I* would smile if I were wearing a costume!
The best part - something I didn't notice on your last 100 photos - is that they have I.D. tags with their furry pics!! THAT is awesome!
oh how i love your recaps of the furry convention. i wonder what it says about me that i kinda think some of these are cute...i'mma blame your wonderful photography skills and stop questioning myself. yeah, that's the ticket!
@hello haha narf--Some of them ARE cute! For example, the pup with the NKOTB t-shirt was so freakin' adorable I almost couldn't stand it.
The furries make me smile.
I'm glad to see you had so much fun at our con again this year!
I don't know how many of the fursuits you had the chance to see, but if you want to see the vast majority that were present at the con, someone has uploaded footage to youtube of the convention's fursuit parade.

Take a look at about 7:50-8:20 or so into the first part of the video, when several of the suits from Clockwork Creatures come by; those are nothing less than amazing, even to someone used to seeing good fursuits.
If you have the time, why not actually register for the con and have a look at more than just the 'suiters in the lobby next year? You can get a single day pass if you'd like; I'd suggest coming in on saturday, that way you'd get to see the fursuit parade, the Masquerade (fursuit talent show), and the fursuit dance competition, all of which I think you'd love! (seach on youtube for the dance competition videos...some of the dancers would be amazing even if they weren't in 'suit!)
Anyway, I've enjoyed reading your blogs about the convention the last couple of years; hopefully next year I'll be lucky enough to run into you there myself; my own first fursuit will be done well before then, so keep an eye out for a black and white sabertoothed panther/wolf 'fursuit! ;)
No Boomer-The-Dog Pics? C'mon, the most famous Pittsburgh Furry of all! LOL
