MCFC was a con of firsts: My first time attending the con, my first time in Ypsilanti, and the first con I had to go through while battling fatigue. I started dragging Thursday evening and never really entirely got back to full strength, so if I didn't seem quite as energetic and/or chaotic as I usually am, that's largely why. Still, I managed to have a good time! Got to hang out a good bit with  gonifox, as well as Maes,  samsonthefoxcat,  lwr, and so many more. The weather wasn't very cooperative for suiting, but I did manage to get in a couple of hours on Friday and participated in the parade on Saturday as well. Seems to be a slow trickle of photos on Furtrack coming in, so I'll probably get around to posting those at some point (after I get to the MFF photos I've never posted... oops).

The con reminds me a lot of IFC and past years of AnthrOhio; a midsize, midwestern con in a suburban setting at a somewhat dated hotel. I will say that the Marriott Ypsilanti is better than the old hotels for either of those two cons, and it's in a better location, so it's got that going for it, even if exploring the area was limited by the generally wet, gross weather. The sponsors lounge is a neat touch, and well worth it (even if you don't drink). The rooms are up to date, and  aetherwuff was a fine roommate. Not a lot of places to hang a suit, though, so that took some improvising. Overall, though, it was a con that I'd definitely make a return trip to in a future year.

Now it's just a matter of getting enough rest to knock out the remaining fatigue cobwebs and get back on track for AnthrOhio in just two weeks!
