MWFF - Final Review and Thoughts
13 years ago
Okay – Now that I finally got the internet to work in this hotel I’m in this weekend I can now post my review of my first MWFF experience.
First off – it was an amazing time – even though there were other issues that my buddy
GoonCon and I had to deal with before the Con – we still made it there about when we expected on Friday night.
Which is the first thing I am kinda annoyed about – I didn’t realize this was a 4 day Con – there was a ton of stuff we missed on Friday – in particular I really wanted to see the panel on inflatable costumes done by
ozkangaroo - but that was at like 3pm, which we would have never made.
It was a great time just wondering the halls, seeing all the suiters having a great time –
GoonCon was taking pictures left and right! Also got to pick up my paws I ordered from
Midori8 which I freaken LOVE.
Made it to the MLP panel on Friday night – once we left though it was so late that I was tired and getting a bit cranky – this was like 1 or 2 AM – so even though I really wanted to hit up some room parties – I knew I wouldn’t have / be any fun so it was time for some sleep.
Saturday was the parade – which was amazing – even watching the people watching the parade was fun! Also after the parade – I got the courage to bring out SpookyJack – which was a lot of fun – harder than I thought it was gonna be, (my knees are still feeling it) but totally worth it!
Best part was that
Rei_Meerkat happened by – which broke into another bit of– possible viral youtube – Hilarity!
Sadly – on Sat. night I still didn’t have the courage to hunt down a room party – I’m so shy and I feel like I’m trying to ‘weasel’ (please forgive the saying!) my way into a party or something – and that isn’t the way I am.
I did get to see a few people in person that I was hoping to meet a few include:
Rei_Meerkat
Glock17_9x19
KJ_Roo
Jestre
But there were a lot of people I didn’t get to meet that I really wanted to – next time I will for sure – this time around I was just far too ‘green’.
Next time – well, next convention – cause I’m honestly thinking about trying to hit up another one – but any other one would probably require a plane ticket but I’m willing to go that far – I swear I will hit up a room party – maybe a full suit (which I have one on order already with
FarisBatwan ) will help break me out of my shell.
It’s ackward, because I came to the fandom so late (was more worried about getting out of college because I knew the school I went to was extremely demanding) – which makes me easily 5+ years older than most of you guys – and yet I’m the neebie!
Wow – didn’t think this journal would be this long – if you’ve read it all – I really appreciate it – please feel free to drop me a line and chat – I really wanna get to know more people in the fandom – but I’m really, really awkward at meeting people.

lol, I was a newbie at 58. It's awhole lot easier to not be shy when in fursuit. No one knows who you are at first. In fursuit, I've gotten to the point of being a 'pest' A good pest. I have fun that I would never do out of suit.. Enjoy the fandom. Room parties...... Know when to leave..

Oh thanks - its good to know I'm not alone in the 'age gap'! Once I have a fullsuit I think it will be much easier for me as well! As far as room parties - I'm confident I'll know when to leave - its getting there that's the problem - but I'll do it next time for sure!
