Midwestria - my first 'fur' style con experience
13 years ago
So I finally made it to my first convention - a brony convention but that still counts!
Midwestria was amazing - rather small (bout 600 peeps they said) - which was actually a good thing, made it less intimidating. My buddy put a bunch of pics up of me taking out my new Applejack quadsuit ( http://imgur.com/a/1anqQ#0 ) Which got VERY mixed reviews - it was either the coolest thing ever, or the creepiest thing they had ever seen - LOL.
There is a vid on the net of the suit too - a girl just HAD to try on the costume - still not sure how bright of an idea letting her do that really was, kinda got caught up in the moment at the time though.
There is a video of my walking down the hallway though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDqfCDCKTXE
I'll be ready for any and all craziness for the next con though (MFF - super excited). Actually just got my tail today - gotta post pics yet - and I might get lucky and have a fursuit by then - one far less cumbersome than the quadsuit.
All in all, it was a great experience - even won some sweet pony swag at the Charity Auction!
Hoping that at MFF I can meet up with some more fursuiters and have an awesome time!
