pros
I enjoyed the dances, they had a diverse selection of music to keep you bouncing, the fans were great and powerful and cooled you down sufficiently enough to go bouncing on the dance floor again:) the strobe lighting I personnally found was fun, and I didnt have a problem with smoke I thought it added to the atmosphere. Person in the big silver hat I danced with a few times, im not sure how you maintained your jumping up and down energy for every dance!:p and thanks to the person sat on the chair near the fans, who directed the fans onto hot suiters, was thoughtful:)
I liked the sing along in the piano bar, was amusing to listen to inbetween bouncing around the BigBlueDance :)
The fursuit lounge was well organised and spacious so when lots of suiters were in there cooling down it didnt get hot and stuffy. I appreciated staff(?) in the fursuit lounge filling up pre-made cups of drinks and straws so suiters could just come and grab one quickly of they were hot. They also made sure suiters were ok, and helped them when needed so well done fursuit lounge:) Allso well done to the temporary firsuit lounge at the dead dog party, that was very much appreciated:)
The hotel itself was great, the room cleaners seemed to be relaxed and know that people had late nights before, and generally left people alone and cleaned the rooms in the afternoons, this was appreciated after some dances:) so well done to them.
The bar staff were great, and I know Codewolf did a collection for them. They took pictures of themselves with some of the suiters and didnt mind when someones ears accidentally knocked off and smashed a row of glasses! they were fun and happy throughout the con.
The hotel was big and well organised, and had plenty of spaces if you wanted to hang out with friends or just have some quiet time.
I enjoyed the PawPet show, and it showed alot of effort went into it all:) Thankyou to Shay for finding me a seat after mine got pinched during the interval.
Overall was great, was fun to meet new people and spend time with all my friends old and new:)
Now the cons.....
Almost getting abducted in suit by drunk numptys who decided I was male and tried to take me to their room *to be naughty* luckily I managed to run off from them and got someone to escort me to the lift to my room where I de-suited. No means no!
Not being allowed in to see Bitter Lake after a massive hold up with our dinner meant we were 5-10 minutes late. People on the door wouldn’t let us in saying it was too disruptive, they wouldn’t even let us in through the back entrance (fursuit lounge) telling us if we wanted to see it now we would have to buy it on DVD. Really not happy with this as wanted to support a friend by watching his film, and had been looking forward to it alot from the trailers. There were no signs up anywhere saying if you weren’t here on time you couldn’t come in. I’d understand if it was half way through but 5-10 minutes?! We weren’t the only ones there were alot of people in the same position.
I decided to take the opportunity of an empty swimming pool, but on my way up one of my group noticed that security were letting their friends in through the back! Talk about rubbing salt to the wounds! He rushed back and got them to let him in but I was already changed for swimming, so missed it. I know this wasn’t Shays fault.
Told the parade was cancelled due to the weather so didn’t suit, only for it to then go off late.
At the dead dog dance, I had a problem and needed to go to the fursuit lounge asap, only to find it full of non suiters talking and I couldn’t physically get into the room, despite asking them to please move they just stood there against all the fans, have some respect. I ended up having to go back to the bar and find someone to help me.
Overall summary, for my first con it was great and I hope to come back next year:)

I'm honestly outraged about the fact that we didn't get any complaint about this. Is there any way for you to find out the Names or any other means of identification?

I'm terribly sorry about this incident. The problem was, that the security detail at the doors had the explicit order not to let anyone disturb the movie screening after the movie started. Also it isn't allowed to let any non-suiters walk into (and also through) the fursuitlounge, so they wouldn't let anyone in as they were ordered to.
After about 5 minutes after the movie started I left the main stage and after a while I heard that delayed furs wanted to get in and I gave clearance to our security at the doors to let people go in through the back entrance in the fursuitlounge as long as a member of security escorted them. I assure you that had nothing to do with friends, since I accompanied the first few furs myself through the lounge and I didn't know anyone of them.
I'm really sorry for this.

Unfortunately I didnt see any lanyards on them or badges so im not entirely sure they were furs, I was also told later that there were two stag parties going on who were somewhat rowdy and coming into the hotel so it may have been some of them. I did go back down and have a look for them when I de suited so I could point them out to con-ops but I couldnt find them.
I did keep looking for them the rest of the con and got people to escort me places in suit to be careful.
In terms of Bitter Lake, I can see the point of view that you didnt want the movie disturbed every 5 minutes by late people, it was just frustrating. Also in terms of the friends thing, apologise if I got that wrong:) just seemed like that due to being told no, and then someone turns up and gets let straight in. no hard feelings:)

That's too bad. If by any chance you get more information about that or if anyone else had a similar experience, please contact eurofurence security as soon as possible. Such behavior will not be tolerated!

Don't worry, no offense taken. It just saddens me a bit, since all our work and all our effort is only aimed at making sure you folks have a good time at our convention so I take ever little unhappy fur personal. :3 Gyroplast and myself will look into such things more carefully to try and avoid such situations in the future. :3
