Side note, just figured out what the + button at the bottom of the post does...psyched!

So if a big...I think the term is derpy? Bear asks for your photo and neglects to notice the "hugs" badge you have prominently displayed, or forgets to ask for contact info to tag you, drag my oblivious ass in for a hug! I promise not to cry (hotel rooms dont count) what a learning experience...

Notice at the time, but now I see, see people like me...who under the elaborate fursona and expensive suit, just want a hug and a kind word or two. Of all things I thought might happen after going to my first con, waking up at 2am and crying was not on the list. I love that f^2 provides this outlet.

Serious post warning:
I spent the day sorting photos and studying badges worn at F^2, trying to remember who is who. I'm struck by signs that say "touch starved" "please hug" "want friends" and similar, so many that the dealers den had them readily available. I was too caught up in the adventure to

@gooddoggoluna.bsky.social one last one for tonight before I have to go to bed and accept returning to reality and responsibilities tomorrow morning. good to meet you good doggo!

Couple of unedited shots from the end of the dance competition, I'll be uploading these and more to Furtrack.com since I was too lazy to actually jot down who they all were, same username on there... yes they announced the names lol #fursquared2026 #Dance_Competition

Hey you didn't happen to get the fat polar bear in a dress suit (me) making a fool of himself did ya? Would love to see it if you did!

@azureusbat.bsky.social Didn't get to talk much, but since you are my favorite color in a unique species, at my favorite panel of the con, would be a shame not to share, love the glowing eyes!

@vorell.bsky.social @liliaroo.furwaukee.org I think there are some others photos on my other camera but for now, got some from the furwalk edited.

@birkiepuppy.bsky.social guess I got around to yours pretty quick, helps to have a day off! Great to meet you both!

Wow this takes longer than I remembered, but I also forgot how much I enjoy photo editing. Up first is @whifflederg.bsky.social mostly because her suit is super easy to pick out in a crowd...also helps being friends with the photographer! Tag others as you see them! Working on a Furtrack acct also.

One more day before I go back to work, step 1. Coordinate screenshot of contact info with the corresponding fursona photo and categorize by person to get organized...I need a bigger subwoofer, ya know, motivational reasons. Yes that says 385 photos...on that camera, love it!

Great book and great art!

Glad you were able to attend! So nice to meet you! I have, oh...154 photos of the furwalk...is photoholic a thing? Wonder what the photo post upload limit is on here...about to find out.

As a follow up to my last post, the evidence is in, this really happened! No desired 14 hours of sleep, but body doesn't hurt from the rave, and I lost 12 pounds since Thursday (don't worry plenty in reserve, why is my suit still tight then, ugh!) Every coat pocket has a furry sticker in it!

Great to meet you also! Thanks for taking the time to chat with an old bear haha.

If this was actually an elaborate dream and none of it happened I'm going to be so mad....I'm checking the cameras tomorrow to be sure it wasn't all in my imagination. Gonna go crash for like 14 hours now...so tired. Did I really dance at a rave? If so my broken body will also serve as testament.

Well, and I still cant believe I'm saying this, just got back home from a rave at fursquared...got my fursona figured out, actually made friends with some of the kindest, most accepting people I've literally ever met. Attended like 20 panels, took 1200 photos, got 12 hours of sleep since Thursday...

I also had a 1988 Buick Park Avenue at one point, reliable fuel efficient machines

My first car was a 1988 eighty eight Royale trim, a fine automobile of distinction she served well and I miss it, but my daily suv is pretty nice

Finally got a proper commission for my sona, meet Mike the polar bear, extraordinaire art by Kana Wolf at fursquared.com

Sounds good! I'll be heading over for opening, going to explore the city a bit after breakfast.

Thanks! Been a lot of fun so far!

I'm here and down to meet a roo!

The city, she beckons! Forgot how much I hate the traffic here though haha

I have arrived in MKE for F^2 well see how this goes, first con!

Looks like those boots need some padding, be a shame if you shrank me down for use as an insole...a real shame...

I'm impressed you can play a violin in suit, wasn't on my 2026 bingo card but now I have to see this!

Wow you are talented! planning to check out the 3:30 event Friday.

Guy needs to be yeeted into the nearest waste basket
