AniNite 2011

2011-09-03 Saturday

Since I feel like suiting pretty much everyday but there are hardly any suitable Events, the biggest anime con in Austria which takes place at my university this time seemed like a good idea. I had no clue what to expect, only reports from Orlando furries going suiting at anime cons made me want to go. Sadly that day it was extremely hot, so Tabbie, who came over for this, ended up not suiting but spotted me as Dog instead, also Yamavu suited as Eddie. Well.. it was super awesome! I've never been suiting and got so much attention and so much interaction with people. It really helps that a lot of these people are really creative, approaching without being a danger to the costume and having a lot of props! It seems Furries – as well as Stormtroopers – are always welcome at anime cons. :) Here are the photos that prove it! (All taken by Tabbie, thanks!)

Dog, a skeleton rat and Eddie posing for a photo — Dog found a deat rat!

Dog, staring at a scientific poster — He might look like he's thinking about the formula, but actually he's thinking about whether you can eat it.

Dog posing with a storm trooper — That storm trooper just came back from Tatooine. Luckily he didn't find out Dog wasn't on the dark side.

Dog, stealing a sticky weapon from someone — It looks like a stick, I want it!!

Dog, regretting his actions as he is about to be impaled by the very person he stole the sticky weapon from — Well that was a bad idea.

Dog in the courtyard of the old main building of the Vienna University of Technology — It's the main building of my university, very strange to see anime fans running around there instead of professors and students.

Dog with a large-scale model of the origami bunny mascot of the convention.

Dog, posing for a photo with convention attendees — People were so happy and many dozens asked for a photo!

Dog, getting glomped by a girl — My favourite photo of the day.

The best thing: Today is another con-day, so even more suiting fun for me :D

Since suiting at Aninite on saturday was so extremely awesome and was so well-received, I gave it another go.

I arrived late, about 2 hours before the last Event at the con ended, so I got in for free. I immediatly hopped into suit and Yamavu spotted me (thanks!) and took great photos!
