My phone camera is not pretty or friendly so apologies for some bad image quality, I also stole some photos that other furs took of the event.
Friday
Got there at about 4pm and waited in line, 30 minutes later I realized I was standing in the wrong line and went to the way shorter registering line
.I attended a gathering called the "Dragon Meet and Greet'' where me and a whole bunch of like minded individuals, people like myself who have a abnormal fascination with a creature that never existed, introduced ourselves to each other. People were entertaining and banter was thrown around.
Then I watched the dance competition, it was weird to me because I have never actually watched a dance competition in person and here people were dancing in heavy attire as well. I thought some were decent though the video taken does not really bring the same atmosphere.

Spent time at the board games section and generally being a geek. Cards against humanity seems to be an all round furry favourite worldwide, or it is a favourite everywhere, and we played it for way too long. Also played some geek focused trivia games, turns out I am actually pretty bad at them.
Spent the remaining part of the evening until around 1:00am dancing like a dumbass with the other furs. Its way more fun dancing in a public setting when everyone dances as badly as I do (Well there was one or two dudes who could dance but they were in the minority)
Saturday
Watched all the fursuiters strut their stuff and get really hot in the afternoon heat
.I watched the masquerade and talent show which was encompassed things like film editing and singing. I am sure that a video of the whole thing will be posted at some point but I could not find a link while typing this. I think there was someone singing opera.
I destroyed some people afterwards at Ultimate Werewolf, I have played the game before with my friends in JHB so I had some experiance. The Game Master was particularly delighted at me bringing race into the game by refusing to vote off any of the dragons and shouting "Never trust a fox" while I through accusations at them about how I totally saw them skipping out on dessert to save space on the flesh of their comrades. Funnily enough I never got lynched (By wolves or townspeople) and was on the winning side 80% of the time
. 
I played Ultimate Werewolf till pretty late so I went home afterwards.
Sunday
I didn't do much Sunday as I wanted to get some work done but watched a very entertaining event called "Cutthroat Artist" where 4 artists competed against each other to draw the best picture per 10 minute rounds. The catch was that they could bid on sabotages to throw on each other, the funniest one to me was when an artist was left with only a couple of dollar store coloured markers and a packet of googly eyes
. Random Things:
-People I met plain clothed the day before would walk up to me in their fursuits and say "Hey dude its me from yesterday".
-A couple of people knew my name and that was enough for them to hug me every time we passed each other by. Luckily I am used to such things from friends/furs/family back home and resisted the urge to use my amazing Judo skillz.
-There was a bunch of older people at the Hotel for whatever reason and I spent a good 20 minutes watching their expressions as they walked through the front doors only to be confronted by a furcon in full swing.
-There was way more gossip floating around then what we get here. They were pretty bad at it though considering a random passerby like me could pretty much eavesdrop without worry. Seemed like it was taken way less seriously though then how we handle it
.-Kids at the hotel seemed to really enjoy watching all the weird and wonderful animals running around which was nice.
-Considering that alcohol was available not only in the hotel itself but across the road at a liquor store there was very minimal damage (from what I could tell anyways).
I am sure there is stuff that I am missing but I cant remember right now.
Overall I really enjoyed the convention, the large emphasis put on audience participation and the general ease of which I could pretty much join whatever I felt like was a plus. I think they should have really made a big request for the hotel to turn the air conditioning down to like 16 degrees or something, I saw people dying.
