((End of important stuff, now here the most cool and fun stuff of the ‘con. I still suggest you to read it. ))
Zampacon gather around 40-50 furries from Italy (even if sometimes few foreigners come) and I found a very warm and pleasant situation. I REALLY suggest Italian furries to attends future ones, and also foreigners who would like to make a holiday in Italy at the beginning of Septembers because panels, activities etc are all not mandatory and the whole convention is permeated by fun and no-stop talking and sharing of common interests.
Just to say… I lost my voice after DAYS talking about movies, games, books, furry, animals, literature, etc… (including obviously Zootopia, that was the focus of the one evening and we watched it: still some furry did NOT watched it before that evening!! Incredible! Xd).
I never found before a group of persons who share so much of interests… or is curious about it, and bearing no prejudices toward things not know. I found and learned of new things, new artists and new comics, and I loved to show people things not much known like the awesome comic of ipoke that I THINK to have shown to everyone. Stunning also (despite NOT being a primary element for most of the time of the con) the open-mind toward yiffy: the talk and sharing was focused on the last day and it was great to show my commissions and gallery (thanks to all the artists I commissioned!) or other projects I followed and will still follow as fan like the commissioned comics of
Also I’ve been glad to act as “Spotter” for the Furry Parade, keeping an eye on kairan , a cute fluffy otter who was one of the few foreigners and one of my roommates. Another very cool and surprising experience that I truly enjoyed.
I’ve been very happy to finally meet and talk face-to-face and talk with two of the most awesome Italian furry artists I know: scale who I shared some talks of comics and books and series and I am eventually going to commission him something. Also I met and talked with rov who I know from some years and he’s been the one responsible for bringing me to the convention (it was cool to meet him, because in a way he was very close on how I expected him! Just 20% gayer xD And a truly Queen Cercei cosplayer when he dress in black with a glass of red wine v.v ).
I also should mention LOTS of people I’ve met and befriended at this con, but the list is SO LONG that I can just say I will have a boost of new additions in watchers and on telegram/skype xD
Thanks again to Zampacon and I hope for the next year to drag some friends there. Also if you live nearby Italy (Germany, Spain, France) I really suggest you the change to attends at least once because it’s really a deserving experience (plus you will enjoy some sea&Italian food as holiday, none force you to follow all the panels and activities Xd Indeed I just followed panels).
