Jan. 22 - Jan. 28, 2003
This year's FC made a number of firsts: first five-day furry con, first con to have its own in-room TV programming (FCTV)... and first con in which I performed in the Variety Show!
Fortunately, it did NOT become the first diary that I failed to finish before going to the next year's con. That honor(?) went to Anthrocon 2003.
