This was my first EF and I loved it. Everything was so nice. It was also my first time fursuiting, this was funny too, but I think I shouldn`t attend the parade, because in the end it was nearly too much for me. (I thought I could handle it, since I was suiting a hour on the EF and also was on the dance, and moved there all the time. But I was wrong, on the dance I was nearly all the time on the ventilator and when I was suiting other time I didn`t move all the time)
It was also funny making door plates and let on other doors messages.
The panels are nice too, and there was so many, I didn`t managed to watch all I wanted, because I also liked to walk around the EF and meet people.
Dealer`s Den was nice too and I used up to much money...
What I didn`t like was the article about bronies in the EF journal... I didn`t sound positive at all, even if it said, that bronies will be accepted... The arguments against bronies was ridiculous too, like that pony world is too small, but really you could also make pony story about ponies in Mars or wherever you like it, especially if you use your own pony character. Also that the new MLP is not the original is not really an argument, I think the new series is not really something like a remake of the old series, it`s something entirely new, sure it`s based on pony characters from before, but I don`t think that make it somehow less original, it`s just a different viewpoint of the ponyworld.
Anyway this article really annoyed me and I think it wouldn`t be written, if MLP is not that popular now. I can understand that people, who don`t like MLP can get annoyed of it, but please bring better arguments than this against ponies... Anyway since there also people, who make their fursona after animation series/movie, nothing really speaks against pony to be furry too, or else Lion King Fans also as much displaced in the furry fandom as MLP-Fans...
Ah yes, reminds me on the argument, you can`t be in two fandoms, that the stupidest thing I ever heard... But it`s not the first time I encounter this, many people seems also not to like, when you are an anime fan the same time and furry too. I didn`t know, you can have just one interest...
It was nice meeting old and new friends. ^^
Hmm, for me fursuitdance was not too loud, not to loud with fursuithead nor without.
I definitely will try to attend next year`s EF.
