Anthrocon day #1

Wandered around for a bit in the morning to see what was in the area and get my sense of direction.

Apparently, I have a doppelganger. A couple of people were looking for a guy with my height, my build or less, my hair, and my first name. When I first saw them, I was thinking that they were people I met online and didn't recognize.

Registration took a bit, but I had my Nintendo DS on me, and I got to play the download version of Tetris DS.

Watching for people I knew was interesting; although, I have to admit that the people in fursuits took some getting used to. I don't mean that in a bad way. It just takes a bit for me to adjust since I normally rely on people's expressions, and I can't do that when somebody's face is covered by a mask.

I briefly saw a few people I've encountered online, but didn't have a chance to say anything since I didn't recognize them until after they were gone. Dave Ferris looks a bit different from what I thought he looked like, spunkywolf has a nice fursuit, codyvfrost looks great, and I'm sure there were other people that I'm too tired to remember.

Later, I was finally able to meet codyvfrost, bauske, spunkywolf, pegasus316, and a few other people. It was nice seeing them, but I think I came off a bit awkward at first. They're nice people, and I like having voices to associate with things they post to LJ.

When people brought out their Nintendo DSes to use pictochat, I finally started to loosen up. It took me a while to think of funny things to send, but I can say that it was one of the most sick and depraved sessions of pictochat ever. The only downside was that my battery was nearly drained, so I didn't get to participate for very long after I got going.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try being the first person to get my claws on ISO #2, seek out other LJ friends, buy some stuff, and have fun.
