Yes you shall not try to make videos with 100 pound automatic-mode digicam in movie mode - guilty. However the result from the dance-contest suffered additionally from the glaring white tablecloth on the judge's desk in the center of the image which did not allow the cam to raise contrast for darker suits. I learned from Colifox that the hotel personal was not allowed to take tipps. That was certainly not nice for them having to reject it everytime (and left me with the odd feeling my money or acknowledging of their great work/service had no value to them). Near the end of Wing C ground level the wifi-distribution-network was unstable or even temporarily unusable (3/4 packet-loss - however after finding a walk to the rotunda would fix that I did just that. case solved.)

I loved the carpet at the dance floor. Especially with fog in the air usually I fight a lot with slippery ground in suit which was no subject here. Having huge suiter feet however it did not cost me much extra energy ;)  and I loved the speed controlled big fan - fair compromise of air vs. noise. Begging every now and then with gestures for more air was always honored. The union jack in front of the fan looking wonderfull however cost quite some airflow. The Pawpet show had those minutes where you swallow deeply moved. Losing a dear beloved bunny...

Well and even if it may sounds silly but towards the end of the con with the certainty to have some money left I would have loved to spend a bit for charity but I never saw a box to put a note in (with paypal link I would still be willing to fix this). The Auction was too long especially running in parallel to the dances. When people leave due to that potential buyers leave as well.

Overall this was a wonderfull convention leaving not too much way for improvements. However the hotel was booked out and all other places are quite remote, which reminds me from lessons learned from EF. The only thing which could likely stop me (especially as a fursuiter) attending next year is loosing fight in a registration rush. Or noticing registration too late. A notification to CF2012 attendees by emails would be very much appreciated.

PS: the dance music - especially that of the dead dog dance was awesome.

Hi,

airport to Hinckley checked, but I wonder how to travel the last 2 miles
from Hickley station to the Hotel. When the sun shines I'm inclined to
walk, but rolling heavy luggage over such distances seems not a good
idea. Anyway thanks for the detailed fallback guide for traveling on foot
Rizzo!

Is there a line running down Rugby Road road? I searched a map
"Hickley by bus?" but I found only bus-line descriptions which are
hard to read: http://centrebus.info/hinckleyservices.aspx
(the only 'map' I found would not help much either:
http://www.carlberry.co.uk/op/Centrebus_Leicester.htm )

Or should I better forget about the bus and ask for the local taxi service number?
The shuttle service is not an option as I booked early arrival (3:15 pm birmingham /
late departure.

yours Bigwig

...pounces on you!       *** found someone meanwhile ***

you might be my last chance - read on! Maybe you have hugged me at ConFuzzled 2011?
Biiiiig eyes... There is Hope - Make the call!

I'm your 2 m tall, handsome and snuggly subservient cheetah - at least while in suit ;)
Some more facts: I'm 6 1/4 ft / 208 lbm, a decade in the fandom, none-smoking german
night owl. I will arrive thursday late afternoon and leave tuesday high-noon.

After reading some threads any twin room attendee should be able to share a room with me.
And I'm tollerant to most kind of room usage and yes that can includes PG13 too (the voices
are lying... especially those mentioning FX).
