How I Spent My MFF
14 years ago
This past weekend was a blast, plain and simple. PCD hasn't hit yet, but then again I'm going by the old maxim "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". That being said, on with the recap!
Friday: Left with
platero shortly after 5 am MI time and made it to Chicago around 8 am Chicago time. Went to wait in line for registration and were rewarded with spots near the front of the line. I met up with 
emeraldtigerknight after getting my badge and together we went to get our room. Said room turned out to be occupied, so we went back to the front desk and were told to wait for a room to open up. I suited up as Money in the meantime, and after a brief panic over some missing luggage finally made it to my room. After opening ceremonies and some running around in suit, I went back to the room for some rest (I'd only gotten 45 minutes of sleep the night before). The rest of the evening consisted of noms in the con suite, 
lil_chi_wolf's birthday party, hitting up the dance, and booze.
Saturday: The hotel gave us free breakfast for yesterday's room snafu, so all four of us enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Went to the Last Fur One dance workshop and the performing in fursuit panel, then checked out Artist's Alley and part of the Dealer's Den before watching the Fursuit Parade. Went back to the Dealer's Den and checked out the Art Show as well. Got invited to eat at Gino's downtown by
darkwolf33333 and 
craftyandy, so I went along. Met up with more of my friends back at the hotel for sushi (I ate pretty well that day) and decked myself out for that night's dance with some glow-in-the-dark body paint. More booze was consumed, and more fun was had.
Sunday: Definitely more low-key. Picked up a badge I'd commissioned and watched part of the Fursuit Dance Competition before getting Money from Platero. Suited up and participated in the Fursuit Games, went to closing ceremonies, made a liquor run with Andy and Nashoba, saw someone walking their pet kangaroo, went to a huge room party, and had yet more booze.
Monday: Checked out, had lunch, then went back home with
nukanuki tagging along. Loaded my videos and photos onto my computer, then went to bed happy.
Now I must be off to work, away from fursuits and raves and Andy's ever-present camera. At least Thanksgiving is this week, and I already know that I am thankful for my friends both old and new who helped make MFF 2011, my first ever furry con, an experience I will never forget.
