Furry.Weekend.Atlanta



parking at the Sheraton Hotel for two hours: $4
crashing a Furry convention: fucking priceless
We pulled into the parking lot and saw a bunch of people walking around in normal clothing...til we spotted that they were wearing tails. Then we got really giddy and tried to come up with a plan to sneak in.
We went up the elevators, overheard that there would be a dance party on the second floor. We went to one of the ballrooms where some dude was playing a keyboard and singing badly, with some kind of shitty windows media player visualizations on a screen. I couldn't stand it, so we got outta there. 
We just walked around and in our lame attempt to blend in, we went to one of the art rooms where furry artists displayed their creations. I didn't take any pics of their work cause I think that would've been rude. The range was from color pencil drawings that look like a five year old did it, and some were really good airbrush paintings of naked furry chicks.
Later we found out the party would be in that same room that the bad singer was in, and you couldn't get in without a badge. We're like shit so we snuck through the back stairways. We ended up at the back of the stage and just casually walked in, found a seat right in the front.
And the spectacle begins. I can't even describe it, but I wasn't freaked out. I am too immune by the internets.
Just in case you thought this was just a white person thing.
ok seriously why would you bring a kid to this?
I don't know why fucking Beetlejuice was there.
They had a dance contest.
These two were dancing to NIN's Closer lol. They were a hit with the audience.
Brian signing the FWA banner.
We are forever immortalized.
The last thing we did was go up to the third floor and steal these stickers off one of the doors. The inhabitants of the room was walking ahead of us and as soon as they went inside, we ripped them and ran like hell.
Throughout the whole thing no one really bothered us, even though I think it was kinda obvious we didn't fit in. We chatted with some of them, sometimes we'd say that we were there for the convention. They were your typical nerds who probably shop at Hot Topic a lot and play WOW when they're not dressing up as raccoons. And there were some middle-aged men there too, which was creepy on many levels. Next year we are crashing, cause fuck paying like $40. But we're so getting costumes. Or at least tails.
enjoy.
LOLOLOL how appropriate is this song? I was dying when it came on cause it reminded me of ytmnd.
