It's that time of year again. No, not Halloween. Not Thanksgiving. It's certainly too early for Christmas. What I'm talking about is Midwest FurFest!
http://furfest.org
For those not in the know, it's a Furry convention held every year in Schaumburg, IL on the third weekend of November. At least I think it's always the third weekend. It has been so far. I think.
Well anyway, I should be much more prepared this time than I was last time. No sleeping in the lobby or bumming sleeping space with newly met friends this time. I've reserved my own room.
I know, I know, I live only an hour away. But hey! There's no way I'm going to be leaving once I get there. I made the mistake of thinking that way last year and never did leave once I got there.
Last year was my first time at a Furry convention, and this will be my second time. I hope to not miss some of the things I missed last year this time, such as the fursuit dance. I'm not too into dances or dancing, but I definitely have to be there this time.
Like last year, I'll bring my mom's camera again with plenty of batteries. Since I love fursuiters so much, those'll probably be what I mostly take pictures of. Since I still have the pictures from last year, I'll have to code myself a proper photo album to display the pictures from both years of the convention.
I can't wait. Last year, it felt like I was amongst my "own kind" for the first time ever. Another person put it nicely. "It was like coming home." That's what it'll probably feel like.
I'll get to be amongst furries, and more importantly, hug fursuiters! It'll be an awesome time to be had.
Oh, and a friend from Wisconsin is going to be sharing the room with me. Can't wait 'till she gets here. And potentially another, more local friend as well. This local one has already got plans to share space with a few others, but my room space is always open to her too.
