Things Learned at Midwest Furfest 2012
13 years ago
General
- Fursuiting is a hell of a drug
- If fursuiting is a drug, I've learned I am totally a drug dealer. My coyote has a new home and I wish him the very best. I think he will get some much more use now. And that's a swish.
- I have never had as much fun fursuiting at a con since Anthrocon 2011. I literally was having withdrawal when it went too long between suitings.
- It is better to hang with a few peeps than attempt to hang with All The Peeps. A con has a limited scope of time. Just play with it casually as you can. (I actually played with it casually, which is why I think I had such a fantastic con)
- Riding an inflatable husky is fun. (Note: No, not /that/ way, ya dirty furry)
- Going to one great party or hanging with a few good peeps is better than going to a series of random sub-par parties. Makes being drunk easier.
- I need to reboot my handpaws. The original ones are getting worn out. (Regi fiddles with ALL THE THINGS!)
- Beer actually has flavors. And there's such a thing as good beer!
- Same for whiskey. Though still have some learning to do on that.
- I act more drunk while sober in suit than drunk in suit.
- When you meet someone for the first time, and they order a beer, you should also order a beer (no matter how much you may love girly drinks).
- Girly drinks do give a good layout of my personality though.
- No matter the delirious temptation, do not push an old lady down the stairs during a fire alarm. (This didn't happen...just saying...)
- If hosting a panel, use notes. I hosted the Raccoon Manual panel and should have used the same pattern as the Twitter account, rather than a different one. Next time shall be better!
- Having a ferret nose is the bestest
- *dookdookdook*
- Robin Hood = worse movie ever. I thought it wasn't /that/ bad in theaters. In late-night viewing with peeps...wow. THE ENTIRE LAST SCENE WAS MEDIEVAL "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN"!
- "And Then There Were Bees" was a little-known ditty by Alan Doyle cut from Robin Hood.
- If you have a check-in bag, you need to arrive at the airport an hour before.
- Even when panicked that I missed my flight, in a moment of extreme stress, I still use my series of G-rated swears. (Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot!)
- AirportCon made up for missing the flight. Got to chat with some awesome peeps and relax. :3
- Midwest Furfest 2012 was the best con experience I've ever had. It will be /really/ hard for future replicate it or exceed it.
Special thanks to DakotaWuff, FarallonOtter, BuckHopper, SpazzFox, VermyFox, Ipequey, Xadafor, DarioMouse and all the others who I should remember but won't until about two weeks from now or more. Seriously, if we met and chatted...I may have forgotten. Let me know. ^^;

I saw it in theaters too and didn't think it was all /that/ bad either...might have been a mix of drink, missing the middle, and delirium...or perhaps it had just had no re-watch-ablity value. Still was really fun to make fun of. :3

Or something like that. We'll have to meet up again, but at least for now I can bother you on all the Twitters!
