Back From MFF
13 years ago
I'm pretty sure now that I've finally grown up a bit and gotten into the swing of things that is the furry fandom, I managed to probably have the best con experience possible.
Yes of course there was the drama, the annoyance with the hotel, dehydration, etc. But all in all, I had such a wonderful time. I met some amazingly wonderful people, and surprisingly most of them were local MN furs. Also learned a great deal about myself, and matured so much. Didn't sleep around or feel the need to validate myself with fucking any strangers, had fun without needing someone other than myself and my friends.
Picked up a few cute things, but either way....it was amazing. Seriously, I believe I finally got to experience what it's like to go to a furry convention. So much fun. Fuck I'm really depressed now I want to go back. Debating on making it to more cons besides MFF in the future, still unsure though with how little I make.
**But again this year I took a stab at commissioning a somewhat cheaper artist, mostly because I like giving the new artists/lesser known artists a chance! She had a really great portfolio, which had this super cool realistic looking circus of the dead look. I thought this would be a perfect second badge for me, one I finally commissioned myself. Got to her the first day right after the alley opened and everything, picked up the next day.....no where the fuck near what I wanted. Severely disappointed in pretty much the entire thing. The proportions were terrible, the coloring/line work was messy, and worst of all she came out looking like an overly tall body builder manly woman. No where on it could you get this circus of the dead burlesque feel that I specifically asked for, it was some weird neglige two piece and she put feather coming out that didn't match at all...so she looks like a bird thing. I gave her a lot of room for creativity, told her she could do whatever she wanted....and she didn't really take the chance to do that. Plus the lamination on it was thin and it sort of ripped a little when I wore it around.
I'm also really excited to start hanging out with these new local furs now that I'm back home in MN, really really excited. Now just going to sit here and wait for my birthday. DAMN IT.

Funny enough, this is sorta the second threat in that regard. XD
