F.L.A.W.

It's wild it's been a whole week since we've been at FLAW! If you've been pondering some questions about the wines or whiskeys you may enjoyed last week at the Wine and Whiskey activity, feel free to contact Sakkii or Arden respectively. 🍷🥃 Both are in the FLAW telegram chat

We'd love to hear how your FLAW experience went! Both the good the ways we can improve so that next year can be even more fun! You'll be able to find the feedback form in your email. Thanks so much for joining this past weekend! We're looking forward to reading your thoughts!

Check out this FLAW highlight video made by an attendee! So many memories 🫶

Missing everyone already! 🥹 On the bright side, here's a photo of everyone ♥️ Thank you to our photographer Llyoid for these!

Did you tie dye something this weekend? After your shirt is rinsed, you'll want to machine wash on cold by itself to make sure all dye is removed and won't stain your other clothes. Reply to this post with your shirts, we'd love to see how they turned out!

3 nights 104 attendees Countless campfires An alarming low number of hours of sleep Way more than 2 energy drinks for the con chair $1400 and counting to Alley Cat Cafe/Browncoat Cat Rescue We hope y'all had a great weekend! Thank you for everything! Safe travels home ♥️
