MFM 2011
14 years ago
I'm back home from MFM. Once again this con just blew me away. It was my first con in 09 and so will always hold a special place in my heart, but I can honestly say it still amazes me despite this. The people are the most amazing group of furs anyone could ever have the privilege to know. This year these folks raised over $15,000 for Tiger Haven; all on an attendance of just under 600. It came out to being about $28 per person donated which quite frankly is mind blowing. Anthrocon with their 4,000+ attendance couldn't even come close to raising this much for their charity. Mephit is truly a wonderful con.
I met so many amazing people that I could never hope to list here. There were a few people that I've met before but was lucky enough to have the chance to further get to know. We are an awesome bunch of suiters, artists, photographers, and rockin' people. The hotel staff was fantastic, and even the family reunion that popped in had nothing but good things to say about us.
Leaving was, as usual, heartbreaking. Almost as heartbreaking as missing some of the people who I've seen before and who I know wanted to come so badly. I missed every one of you guys and I'll drag you by your ears next year if I have to.
I'm already counting down the days until next year. I'm hoping to rope myself into doing a small panel, and I've already agreed to help out officially on staff as part of the security force. After all pit bulls are great guard dogs. ;]
Time to get back into commissions and life, but I want you all to know what a stellar group of furs you really are. You all mean the world to me and I love each and every one of you. I can't wait to see you all again!

I hear a lot of the money for the Tiger Haven was raised by one or a handful of furs and literally presented in bundles on a platter. :)
I won't officially be security, but let me know if you need my backup next year.
Omg yes. At opening ceremonies one fur got up and gave a speech about how he'd been able to live the American dream since coming here, and that what the neighbors of Tiger Haven are doing (trying to sue them out of house and home) is completely contrary to that. And he handed them a big platter stacked with $2 bills. It was freakin amazing. I cried. ;0;
Definitely! XD You're intimidating enough that I'd never have any issues!
