Well, I've officially finished with my second Tails and Tornadoes FurCon. It was sort of fun, as always with furcons, but I have to say, overall, it was not great compared with last year. In 2024, I had an absolute blast. Between seeing lots of friends, participating in the fursuit parade (my first ever), and of course the raves, it is a might just be my favorite con experience ever.

By contrast, TTFC 2025 felt kind of disjointed and just a little anemic. I understand it had more attendees than last year, but it never really felt like it, other than perhaps a couple of major events Saturday. Even the dance comp and raves didn't seem full like last time. Maybe it is the new venue. Maybe like a lot of cons these days, it really is just suffering growing pains. I don't doubt that the staff is committed to creating the best con experience they can, and I'm sure next year will be better.

Don't get me wrong: I would still recommend TTFC as one to go to. And the fact that it is growing slower than other, equivalent cons elsewhere may be a good thing in the long run--they don't all have to be MFF or AC, after all. I probably won't be there next year, but I definitely still recommend giving it a try if you get a chance.
