This year marked my second Oklacon, and I did a much better job of keeping up my usual list despite, or maybe because I kept it on old-fashioned paper!

1. Fursuit parts are apparently very good for keeping yourself warm.
2. This is a great con for attention whores: Just yell or talk very loudly and EVERYONE on the campsite can hear you.
3. Anyone playing the guitar at 7AM should be shot or at least kicked in the nards.
4. I’m thinking that its about time to retire my old Sears Hillary tent. 😦
5. I was happy I could get a signal on my Verizon iPad in nearby Watonga, OK, but then I got to the campsite annnd its gone!
6. Even instant cappuccino tastes great when you’ve been sleeping in 30-degree weather.
7. I’m not sure which is bothering me more: not wearing my university ring or not having a comb in my pocket.
8. Someday Dr. Nuka will tire of my ‘What’s up Doc?’ greeting and get all sciencey on my tail.
9. Somehow ‘All My Exes Live In Texas’ got stuck in my head.
10. They should probably make sure the participants are able to play volleyball out of suit first.
11. Plastic hammer + heavy metal stakes = FAIL
12. I was a bit overdue for a shave on Thursday but the cold is keeping me from doing so.
13. Good idea: Putting QR codes on my dealer’s table sign. Almost Good Idea: Putting QR codes on my dealer’s table sign at a con where cell reception sucks.
14. Maybe its just me, other folks seem to be doing just fine. Just what I need: another reason to dump Sprint.
15. I learned today that Canada apparently has its own version of Texas called Alberta. The thought that each country in the world may have its own ‘Texas’ might explain a lot…and fills me with fear.
16. One of the researchers was having problems with her camera and was getting frustrated, I had to quip: “This is the part where they usually call me at work.”
17. Even though I’m not at work, my tail was still dragging at about 4PM…should have had that second cup of coffee!
18. The collective rolling of eyes could almost be heard whenever someone insisted they were the only one in the furry fandom whose fursona was an X.
19. Best money I’ve spent recently: $15 for a small stool for sitting in the tent; its a little snug in the forbidden zone, but otherwise worked well.
20. Its funny how the lack of data turned my smartphone into a glorified watch…and a phone.
21. I only posted once to social media all weekend and haven’t missed it. It feels good to be talking to people that are actually sane.
22. The rain snuck up on us Friday night but surprisingly nothing got into the tent…there but for the grace of God go I.
23. Unlike last year, the bathrooms were kept up and I even contributed by plunging a few times and even fixing a toilet, nice to put that homeowner skill to use.
24. I should have been annoyed by Reville being played at 9am, but instead I found it amusing…because I was already awake.
25. My writing panel went well, four people showed up!
26. Hot dogs? At a furry con? Say it ain’t so!
27. My laptop is a battery…a big, frakking, heavy battery.
28. The zipper on my tent was misbehaving and the first thing that came to mind was ‘MY KINGDOM FOR SOME DUCT TAPE!’
29. Things I forgot to bring: wet naps, duct tape, mayonnaise and once again, a roll of toilet paper.
30. I could only not shave for so long, Saturday night the face fuzz was gone.
31. I might need to switch to Mountain Dew from coffee, the Dew seemed to keep Nuka going.
32. He graciously gave me one of his, and I gave him some of my cough drops, balance of the universe and all that.
33. Yeah, it was great to hear my dealer-neighbors bicker back and forth like an old married couple…which they probably were.
34. Furries apparently really hate sports, which is yet another way I stick out in that club in addition to being straight and over 30.
35. From the ‘clever idea’ department: Previous year’s con shirts: $12 for 1 or $10 for 2
36. Hearing the rules for ‘Predator and Prey’ made me think of ‘Calvinball.’
37. When in Rome: I got mustard on my camera’s strap during lunch and my first instinct was to try to suck/gnaw it off.
38. Part of me want to either stay in a tent alone or get an A-frame bunk next year…hmm.
39. f I had known coffee cups/mugs were going to be sold at the auction I would have been there in a shot.
40. I wonder what the organizer thought when I gave him my tax form that said “Sales: $4”
41. A guy nearby needed help tearing down his ‘insta-tent.’ I knew there was a reason I didn’t like those things.
42. Well, that and they cost twice as frakking much.
43. Very thankful to have a second person in the car on the drive home, I probably would have had to stop for sleep otherwise.
44. Saw so many Braum’s burger/ice cream/grocery joints on the drive up/back that we had to stop at one on the way home. Quite good!  Still haven’t been to Waffle House.
45. Put over 1,100 miles on the Excelsior the whole trip and used up just over two and a half tankfuls of gas.
46. Flying J has REALLY good coffee.  That, or drinking instant coffee at work for so long has ruined my taste buds.
47. We encountered absolutely zero traffic problems on I-35 from Oklahoma City all the way down UNTIL we hit San Antonio and spent 25 frakking minutes going the last 5 miles home…REALLY, SAN ANTONIO?
48. Good Idea: Empty fridge beforehand so no food goes bad during the drip. Problem: No food in fridge to eat upon return.
49. While I only sold 2 storybooks during the weekend, it was still 2 more than I sold during Furry Fiesta. *shrug*
50. Thank you, Sharon.
51. I can’t wait to do it again!
