Hey all,
I'm really pretty shy -- for example, it took me nearly 2 years to get my EC status here. But I've been taking steps to become more comfortable with my AB/DL side. I've been talking with a personal friend of mine and with a few friends here on ADISC. I picked up a space themed paci and bought a AB/DL guidebook that one of you suggested. Thank you all for either replying to my posts here or answering my PMs even if they were likely weird or awkward.
But this past weekend was my biggest step yet. TeddyCon 2016 was this past weekend and I attended it. I didn't know if i'd like it or be weirded out by it or so introverted as to not interact with anyone -- but I had a blast! It was super fun.
I even, believe it or not, went on stage during the Pageant / Talent show. I didn't have really either a costume or talent, but I took the two minutes I had as a contestant to introduce and show off the menagerie of stuffies that I brought with me to the con! That was super fun and exciting and so memorable
The other awesome thing is they had a stuffie making machine. Everyone got a ticket, for free, to use at their "Build-a-Buddy" machine. They had all manner of empty unfilled 'buddies' on display that you choose from and then get filled with stuffing. I chose the white and black striped tiger. The tag named him "Snowflake", I named him "Stripes", my friend suggested "Snowstripe" I don't know which I'll end up going with. But, its an awesome take away parting gift!
Feel free to ask questions. I'm leaving a lot out because I want to keep this post a manageable size. That said, i'm absolutely going back next year and if you're in the area Philadelphia area or have the means and funds I highly encourage you to go!
They're going to entirely takeover the whole hotel next year.
