MFM, day three
15 years ago
Got up a bit later than I wanted, just like the day before, only this time I wasn't feeling so funky. (aside from having a semi-hoarse throat from the karaoke, and laughing, the night before) Eventually arrived at ~10:30-ish, and cruised the dealer's den to see if anything had changed from the day before. Hung out with
bucktowntiger for a few minutes, and got him to sign my MFM t-shirt. Made my way down to the Furplanet table, and chatted with
teiran in-between crowds, and eventually got him and
Fuzzwolf to sign my shirt as well.
A little later in the day, Bucktown held an impromptu concert in the hotel bar, to help raise money for Tiger Haven. I was getting the munchies, so I ate lunch with
NoScopeLegend while we listened. (Which you guys should totally buy his CDs, if you haven't already!) Just glad I actually GOT food this time, which was surprisingly good! Best fried chicken tenders I've ever had! (and really in-expensive too!) The concert lasted a good hour and a half, which was fine by me!
After that ended, I killed a few minutes before the Masquerade. The Masquerade itself was a riot! There were some really good acts, particularly one fursuiter that played a mean saxophone! Fun was had, even though I was nearly blinded several times by some jackass with a camera flash from hell! Seriously, if you know your flash is that fucking powerful, don't sit around other people! Stand off to the side, so the rest of us can enjoy the show without having our retinas burned out of existence! I know you want your good shot, but have some fucking consideration for your fellow furries! We want to enjoy it as well!
Not long after that was closing ceremonies, which was short and sweet. Apparently, no drama llamas were to be had during the con, which either had just over 500 furries, or 600 (depending on whether someone had a math flub, or typo'd on twitter) in close proximity. After closing ceremonies, was the ice cream social, and outdoor fursuit playtime. When you add an inflatable balloon, that you can get inside of, fun will be had! After goofing off a little with the fursuiters, I went inside to nom on some of the free ice cream (choco taco ftw!), and goofed off with some of the steampunkers. Then I went back to goof with the fursuiters some more, before heading inside to try and find an after-party to attend!
In my search of a party to attend, I ran across some local furs, and hung out with them for a few minutes. Spotted Bucktown trying to haul his keyboard and stand, so I offered to give him a hand, to save him from possibly dropping something rather expensive down the stairs! He was going to hold an impromptu shopwrecker concert in the critter con suite, but was denied due to lack of space. So, we hauled the goods to the elevator, and went back to his room to chill for a few min. (and met the infamous Lioness that he's mentioned from time to time on his streams, or twitter.) After that, it turned into another search for a party to hang out at, only to find the only good party got killed by security! No idea what exactly happened, other than someone's fursuit getting ruined. (odd thing is, they left the music playing)
After some searching, I ran across
kyo_foxtrot,
Rekkie,
Sairo, Guardian, and a few others that I don't even remember the names to! (Sorry guys, but I couldn't really see your badges from where I was sitting anyways!) Oh man, from the moment I sat down, till I got up and had to leave for home, I laughed and generally had a good time! (Unfortunately, the bar was closed at that point, so I couldn't buy Kyo his drink, so I'll have to raincheck that.)
This whole weekend was by far the best weekend I've had to date! Got to meet some interesting people, some that I've been talking to on here or elsewhere, and those that I never heard of before. You've all shown me a great time, and I look forward to attending next year's con! (and possibly Furry Fiesta, provided I can find a decent job between now and then!)
Now comes the fun task of sorting through nearly 400 MB of pictures, and finding some way to post them here w/o getting nailed by the admins. (and not in a good way! Those hammers aren't ribbed for my pleasure! *looks at Kyo* )
Now, I leave you with the funniest part of the Dead Dog party!
