Day 1.
Wednesday 1st: Prepped our chookin's pen up so that they had HEAPS of available food stuff and freshly grown grass areas opened up for them to roam in. Made a little sheltered area for them aswell so they had cover from the rain and shine ^o^ Chopped up a tub full of tomatoes and broccoli for them to snack on too (their fave veggies!) and organised some egg cartons and bread for our 'chicken carer' to have when they come to check on them!
It was raining and took a while to get ready, but after packing the car, crazy still had things to do.. then we decided it's be best if we took the other car... SO had to unpack and re-pack all the stuff again! Eventually we left and met up with BC and spence at Albion Park before going to Sydney.
Stayed the night at BC's folks place, and a BBQ aswell ^^

Thursday 2nd: Got up nice and early.. 5.30am i think to get ready to leave. Then packed our stuff into BC's sisters Carnival and went to the Train station! almost $16 each and we're training it to the Airport.... (WTF! so expensive! for such a short ride too!) Anyways... Got to the airport, checked in then we went on the 'Line ride' yeeeyyyy! In line for a good 20mins or so, checked in our baggage, went thru security and finally to our flight area... after another 20mins or so, we had to move to a different area to board the plane, but we weren't really behind schedule, so it was all sweet!

About $70 taxi ride from Melb airport to the con and we arrived!! YEY! Checking in was hell... It cost more than what was written on the Midfur website which was unplanned. PLUS there was a $50 deposit fee "incase" something happened i guess. So we had to pay part cash, part my eftpos and part crazys debit card... All this after transferring funds from account to account ect... *sigh* This wouldnt have been much of an issue if crazy's pay had gone in too! So yehhh, rough start!

Got to our room, dumped stuff then headed down to get our con badges. Had a little look around and then we went to get supplies! Awesome dude at Subway told us where to find a woolies so we didnt spend lots of money at 7/11. It was a fair walk away, but worth the weetbix and milk!.. and milo... and coke... Mmmm!

After that I submitted my airbrushed foxy to the art show... I think mine was the only one NOT up for sale or auction! XD

Even tho this was my 5th Midfur, I still went to "your first furry convention" panel... mostly because its usually rather entertaining, and it sure was!! XD The opening ceremony was awesome, got suited up for a while. BBF's stuff didnt make it to the con, so he was with out all his gear. This, I think was rather a disappointment for him... only using what he could with what was there. (At this stage i didnt know he didnt have his gear, and was rather unimpressed by the DJ performance) But I understood afterwards when i found out! Poor BBF! The light were on, and the sound was so quiet i could talk in my suit to people.. and people who know me, know how quiet i am in general.. so yeh.. quiet lights on dance party was not too awesome. Afterwards, we crashed.. after a long day!

Friday 3rd: Got up to get ready for the Beginners Art panel! Hosted by Myself,  cerberusderozier and  deezmo! Deezmo and I had no idea we were to do this panel until a few days before midfur... so a last minute attempt to find another host (who isnt so shy!) I managed to get Cerby to help us out! And she did such a great job too! ^o^ The crowd started off rather small at first, which made it easier to talk. It slowly grew rather large by the end, but by then we were on the ball! XD There was one short guy in the front who was rather rude at the beginning. We did start slow (as we were un prepared!) and this guy LOUDLY mentioned other panels he could be "wasting" his time at like saying " I wonder what the spiritual furs panel is doing right now.. i could go have a look instead of being here" ect. I did notice this and got a bit annoyed that he was being so rude, thinking "why not go then?" but we ignored and continued anyways! ^___^ and I think it went rather well for something so unplanned! But dont worry, next year I'll be ready! XD lolz!

After that, I went to see the Females in the fandom panel Hosted by Muse and  carnival This was awesomely entertaining! Crazy and I took some of the pictures used and put the female one on the female toilet door and the male for males. I thought they'd be awesome and they lasted alot longer than I thought! But then i watched as rubbah scrunched them down later in the day! lol XD
Checked out the Wacom demos! very awesome, but they all have the crappy straight pens! I like my old graphire 3 curvy pen that fits well into my fingers ^o^
Went to the Podcasts panel, also entertaining and insightful! ^__^

Went for dinner at some Korean hot pot place which i didnt know would be all the way into the city X.x Ordering took ages and we only got one kind of meat for a 'combination meat' grill. >.> Because of the length it all took, i missed out on the beginning of Friday night wild with  ACTfuronair ;___; And i was embarrassed to find out they had mentioned me, but wasnt even there to stand up! GYYAHH! *flail* I felt bad for not being there X.x.... but crazy found me one of the little foxy things hiding under the seat! XD yey!

Then it was time for the dance party! The 18 only one had no dance happening, just sitting and drinking expensive booze.. So we went to the the under 18 and fursuit friendly one! Mosky did a great job! I loved the mix and YEY darkness and coloured lights and lasers!! ^o^ But still a bit too quiet.. but was fun!! It ended way too early XD

Saturday 4th: I was mad I couldnt go watch the great debate! I would have loved to see it!!! >o< First thing Myself,  bc_wolf_74,  flix_wyvern and Mosky did the Fursuiters panel. This went for what seemed ages, but I think it went really well! ^o^ we got alot of answers answered differently as we all have our own way of doing things ^___^ SO it was rather insightful for each other aswell!

Afterwards we were stuck doing the tails and ears panel, with extra help from Juz Bunny too!! (much needed help!!!) This was an unexpected event. With only 1 hour to do it in. Most people didnt get anything done so they had to watch. But with what we did, i think it was a partial success! I hope all the attendees understand it's not really possible to get them made in an hour! :p especially when there was about 3 pairs of scissors between 20 people ^o^ arr wells.

After all that, a much needed lunch break! X_X Grouped up all the peeps who had suits made by me and went and had a 'vixen made fursuit photoshoot!' can't wait to see all the pics! Then off to the 'History of Midfur' panel! (in suit!) This was fun ^^ there wasnt alot of peeps there, but it was good to talk amongst us and chat about old midfurs before it was a con.. and our favourite past times! Ooohh yehhh! (go fursuit put put!! I miss you!!) XD

Chilled for a bit at the bar, went and got my midfur chocolates from aussiehusky and hung about the dealers den for a while ^__^

Dressed up as a pirate, caught some of the talent show and later danced for a bit. Met up for our 'ScotchCon' (an event we started at Midfur X.. bring your own *expensive* bottle of scotch to enter!) In which we then then share nips and discuss the booze! Unfortunately the room it was held in got cluttered with random non scotch con goers and got rather loud XD we ended up going for pizza at 3am then back to the room with less people... eventually we turned in at 4 am! X.x (and no, i didnt get drunk.. just tasted the scotch is all)

Sunday 5th: DEAD tired... got up for the ' fursuit parade' we walked tot he park for photos then around a few blocks in the blistering heat X.x After that I changed into my dragon (because of it much more awesome vision) so i could play in the 'fursuit olympics!' Good fun!! Made it to the end, but crashed in to  fulton in the 3 legged race, in which they just beat us in! XD gyaahh! XP Its was awesome fun! (ps.. who was i paired with??)

Food, then hung about the pool deck for ages.. was an awesome day for swimming! Then got changed into the Joker and headed down to the comedy performance!!  Kagemushi pretty much OPENED for  anthrax-fur! (who did a splendidly awesome job me thinks!! woo!) Then on to the charity auction! this took a while (over time) but I think it should have gone longer! XD it was so much fun! I hope to donate next year! I think we raised over $7700 for the lost dogs home! ^o^ Aussies rock at charity donations!

End of the night, the first DJ up was SOOO GOOD! He played songs we know and mixed them.. even bird is the word! lol! I love mixes i can familiarise with! ^o^ I went to quick change into suit but he had gone.. awwrrr.. BBF was on next, Twas also very good, but a bit slow compared to what i'm used to. Usually is all 'dance dance dance dance' but his way of DJ starts slow, then pumps up at the end of the night. I still had a good time tho!! ^o^

Ended our night around 3am... X.x Sooooo tired!

Monday 6th: Home time! Another $70 taxi ride, check in and line ride. 1/2hr late plane so we got free TV shows!! lol, the other plane didnt have tv, so this was awesome. Watched futurama, some snowboarding, news about the flood at home and some history ^_^ Got back to Sydney, trained and drove back to the car.. packed up and went home!

After all the trains, airport shinanigans, driving and taxi rides.. we worked out that all this time together would probly be the same as driving down.... we're thinking of driving next year! And with it split between a group for fuel and driving hours, would be cheaper too!

Awesome hugs to:
