MFF 2021!
4 years ago
First the moment all (some? A few?) have been waiting for. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lfr0yo7g.....mpaign=MFF2021
That has the pictures from the Femme Photoshoot at MFF2021. Usually organized by Archer and assisted by a friend of his named Cirrus. I would usually be helping out with water and making sure folks like Maggie and Angel are alright. Cirrus was unable to attend this year, so I was asked to help out. After picking my jaw off the floor, I assisted with taking the group shots this year! Was very nervous and hopefully my pictures on the link will be alright!
As usual, the good, bad, and ugly of the con in keeping with a long tradition of TL:DR posts from me!
The good, have to start at the femme photoshoot. Was extremely nervous to be have the spotlight on me as the assistant photographer. I had lots of help from Archer, as well as Afrodyte who helped with the poses for the group folk. Thank you to both for the help and the opportunity!
Maggie was probably the most mobile she’s been at cons, getting to go to multiple panels with the help of a mobility scooter. Even got some cool pictures with her lightsaber that were taken by Afrodyte, with help from Natalie Kig, running around and spraying aerosol atmosphere! Was really happy that Mags got to have a good time with minimal health issues this con!
And finally rooming with close friend Angel MacLeod and her husband Northpaw was nice. I’ve known Angel for a long time and known of Northpaw in furry even longer. Just low maintenance roommates!
The bad were really just nitpicks this year. Body being really fat means that my feet and ankles were hating life early on doing lots of walking. This is my own fault and will try to work on that in 2022.
Baggage on Delta. This was my own stupid fault. I have three suitcases I got as a employment award at my prior job. A small carry-on sized one, a medium bag and a large bag. Usually I remember to take the small and the large. I did not, nearly got charged on flight up, was charged on flight back for the medium bag being too large for a carry-on.
Last on the bad, a long time tradition of mine was to go to a local sports bar called RAM on Sunday at the con and watch some football with a longtime friend named Ricochet. He decided not to attend, and even went so far as to say “It seemed like really far and a lot of money to just attend a Browns game with a good friend I only see when they have such con events.”. I still have horrid self-esteem and to hear that someone was going specifically for me did make me tear up!
The ugly really was a stretch but here goes. A racist and vaccine denier popufur decided he was going to ghost the con. This could have gone much worse, kinda like the year the alt right femme bunny tried to get M*lo Y. to attend MFF (and his Peanut Butter bullies). From what little I have read, that raccoon mostly got cold shouldered by furs during the con as he lurked in the lobby all weekend. Was amusing to see him create a new character on twitter, only to be called out immediately and have to go lock both the new character and his usual twitter!
Overall, MFF2021 was a good year. Was happy to attend cons again and happy to do so with friends!

Awwww. Hey, I'm a creature of habit. I looked forward to MFF just because of Sunday. I did see a few others but the numbers had dwindled every year. This year masks and vax cards and new variants kinda added to the soup of staying home.
