Hello from America! 
Our First Convention Together (Part 2)
My son makes professional fur suits, similar to the ones seen in Hollywood. They take years to create, and are very elaborate and beautiful. My son got into it years ago, and he was so passionate about it that I purchased one for him. We purchased one a fur suit from Skypro Costumes that cost about 630,000 Yen! When spending that kind of money, I wanted to make sure it is the best quality and that will last a long time. It took over 3 years for it to be created, and is named, "Rogue" 
I also purchased a suit named, "Voltie" that also took several years to create. My suit cost about 425,000 Yen when it was fully complete and was made by Monster Cat Creations. This was our first convention at which we could go together. I never imagined that I would buy my own suit, but I realized that if I wanted to really understand him and be a part of his world I needed to get one. I do not regret it. I realized just how much fun it can be to play around while in a fur suit. It is good clean fun!
This convention that we came together at is called, "Fur The More". 
It just so happens to coinside with the end of Shouta's apprenticeship, and we were moving him home while also moving out of our current house and getting ready to move into a new one. We did our best to have a great time and participate in the major events at the convention. It was important for us to do so. 
We were joined by another friend, "Nameless" (in the bright blue suit), and got a picture together!
We stayed in a hotel room for one day/night so we had a place to cool off when done suiting. It had a very nice view! 
It sounds funny, but we took some time to brush our suits so that they looked their best!
Some of our friends, Sturmovick and Equis Silvermane were there for some pictures. 
Suiting is hot work! It messes my hair up too. 
The convention had a nice dealers room as well. 
There was a group photo taken for many of the suiters. We are in there somewhere!

This convention was wonderful, as my two sons and I were coming back together as a family. By the end of the convention we were tired but happy. The convention only lasted for one day and night, but it was hugely significant. Next we had the big move into our new home was coming up fast, which I will post about in Part 3. 
Thank you for reading! 
Stay safe and have a great day in Japan!
