*note time.. 10.21am* I have a feeling this will take me a while to write!... got distracted.. it is now 10.43am! lol
ANywho! MiDFUR!!! To Pete the chairman and all you other wonderful board members and such who helped to make this event.. THANKYOU! you all did a wonderful job! And from my perspective.. nothing went wrong!
The Trip:
Friday 30th November Crazy and I drove to Wagga. Went to a mates Birthday at a Pub, even though we were rather late, was still great!! =) Stayed at my Muma's the night and got to finally meet her new puppy Sophie!! She's an adorable Beagle X Labrador! <3
We stayed in Junee the next few nights spending time with Crazys Mum, his Niece and nephew and his sister and Brother in Law. Crazy did the deed to make the turkey ready for christmas.. or silencing it X"D and his mum and nephew did the plucking! We helped erect a huge pool a his sisters place, took forever but was worth it!! At some point we also went to the movies with his sister and watched the last Twilight movie ^^ was actually rather good I thought!!
Drove to Melbourne on the Tuesday (4th) from stinking hot 35 degree weather it got cold (as per Melbourne normally is) to what felt like 15! XD We arrived at our destination, paid for accom, unpacked bags and such and put car away. Then decided to go get badges for the next days event! Found lots of awesome people we know, registered and got invited to see the opening ceremony! Pete also introduced me to Amadhia and Quinn.. two of the most amazing people I have ever met!! <3
WEDNESDAY
Got up fairly early (7.30) and even doing that I ended up late to set up for the dealers den which opened at 10!! Crazy went to the Active fur's session while I hung with DustanDaFox to get a float and other things! X'3 All day I was rushing to and from the backpackers I was staying at after I kept forgetting to bring things!! So most of the day I probably wasn't really seen at the dealers table! I did try and see a few panels while I was up and about! And didn't really get to see what was on other peoples tables until the very end! busy busy!!
I did get to catch about 1/2 the fursuiter panel ^_^ and it was good to watch!! =) Later on I went with a bunch of awesome peeps out for din din's before rushing back to the con to make it for Anthrax performance! Also got to be seated up front yey! =D <3 Was hilarious as always, look forward to the DVD!
Then we hung about a bit and made it to the screening of Bitter Lake!! We missed the beginning, so will have to watch again!! I loved it! X"D made it to bed fairly early that night too X"D
THURSDAY
Had Brekky with Anthrax, Robbie, Changes and my Crazy at awesome chocolate place with cheap breakfast meals! Crazy went to study for the rest of Thursday and Friday and did not come to con..>.> Went and saw most of the fursuit performing panel but rest of the time I was mostly at my Table ^__^ Also stayed for the super sponsor cocktail party! delicious noms and cupcakes! shortly after that was the fursuit walk AT NIGHT!! YEY! Was load of fun! SO many suiters lots of happy people and OMG dingoes came for the walk!! I got to sit with one of them while they sniffed my paw and I gave it a treat ^_^ it wasnt until Nikki (the awesome pony table person!) showed me a photo that I realised it was the dingo they dyed pink!! <3
After the walk it was much to warm to stay in suit so I de-furred and then watched the dance party with Dustan for a while.. admiring Amadhia's suit 'Dream Song' dancing away and being in Awe while I watched Blake tiger do some epic Poi moves!! Then went off back to the hostel to sleep... before 12!! wow! X'3
FRIDAY
I actually made it EARLY to the dealers den to set up today!! I had to because I had a photo-shoot on first thing!! ^o^ Got to have a photo with Kat-Aclysm and someone special!! ;) all will be revealed soon!! <3 Spent a while down at the dealers den, then caught some of the fursuit panel ^o^ (thanks for the plug guys!! <3) And then checked out the wacom demo room! I REALLY wanted to try the intuos 5 as I was getting one the next day.. but the computer it was hooked up to wouldn't run properly,,, so no test... BUT it looked nice and the pen felt awesome!! Can't wait to try mine out!! The cintiq's look pretty crazy being so HUGE you'd have to have a studio to use them! X'3 As cool as they seem, the screen was a bit too fuzzy for my taste. I like crisp clear images to work with and I don't think I'd want to own one... and I also could never afford such madness!! over $4500!! for the big one! *dies!*
And before it was too late I managed to catch some of Tiny's awesome gaming panel!! WOW FULL HOUSE DUDE! it was so funny X"D woo!
Then went and spent the rest of my time dealing away with awesome carnival until the close time! We rushed out at the end to go have dinner at awesome restaurant with more awesome people! then made the mad rush back! watched some of the no talent show and Kraden *just* made it time for his performance of awesome.. the PUN thank you letter including the names of all the board members! LOL!! took my mass pile of dealer stuff back to hostel and got my 'fashion' gear for the fashion parade!
Quickly put together some maddness made from $1 clothes from the op shop! Also added a touch of blood and scars to be a zombie X'3 lol.
Got to mingle and talk with a bunch of awesome people within the fashion parade 'back area' which was fun!! You guys were all awesome! There was a much larger audience turnout than we all expected and we of course all got nervous too! X"D The song I had got chosen for me... and... I really didnt know it X"D so my intended 'slow dead zombie cat walk' was pushed by the crowd to move faster and dance a bit X"D it was fun, but I didnt see much as my hat fell over my eyes too far.. so I stared at the ground the whole time! lol! I also didnt hear anything the judges said.. I was so nervous I just kept doing my thing and blocked out everything else =P
After that was all over I ended up in WiiiiU con and played games X"D
SATURDAY
Got to sleep in a bit longer today and was happy to hear Crazy was keen to come back to the con! <3 We went and had nom brekky at the chocolate place again and then went to Scorptec to pick up our order!! Crazy got me the Intuos 5 touch and a SSD as my early xmas pressies!! <3 <3 dropped off our gear before going to the con to go to the Furry Wedding of our dear friends BC and Spence! <3 it was a huge turnout and was a beautiful reception! I loved how it was set up, the speeches were wonderful and Pete did a fantastic job presenting! ^__^ There was also SOOOO many tears!! I've been to a few weddings and I had never seen so many people tear up! Daawwwrrr!!! <3 *cuddles and hugs!!*
After that we went to the 'bridal parties meet' at the pub for lunch which was also so much fun! We were lucky to have made it in time afterwards for the amazing charity auction for the dingo discovery center! It really went off!! So much auctioned and so much money raised!! I donated a decal set which went for $70!! (I honestly thought it'd just go for $10) So I was impressed it was able to make so much for the charity! yey!! the epic and last auctioned item was Blotches original artwork for the badges this year... it went for a staggering large amount of... something like over $1500!(?) X"D plus a load of pooled money put in extra totaled the final fundraising to over $13400!! Aussie Furs rock at fundraising!!! <3
Quickly had dinner not too far away and then was the closing ceremony! It was great!! lots of funny and lots of awesome ^__^ News came to be that the "last furry con in aus ever/midfur ever" was true!! Midfur as a con will be no more.. Midfur as meet (I think and I hope) will still be! But as a con.. it will be "NewCon" the yet unnamed furry con thats dates have been pushed to January instead! Midfur outgrew all possible hotels and has had to be moved to the exhibition center instead. And being that December is harder to book for, it has moved to January.... Midfur is "Melbourne in December"Fur meet.. and thus needs a new name to represent what it will be!
The "End of the World Dance Party" was fantastic!! To start it off was an amazing performance by "Laserman"!! And then epic music and mass of people dancing with Mosky as the DJ!! AWESOMELY fantastic music!! YEY!! (I lost it when I heard circus afro in there!!! EEE~!~! <3) I spend a LONG time dancing in 'Vixen' fursuit too!! it was super extremo HOT!! but after getting all cooled down for a break and just as I was dressed again to go out.. the con was evacuated! The fire alarms got set off (not audible) and we had to go out side X"D the fire alarms were never turned off like they should have been for the smoke machines! lol ^o^ Crazy dared me to hug a fireman.... I said I'd offer and if he wanted one, I'll do it X'D awesomely.. he did!! and we got a photo ^o^ Although his reflective suit made the photo SUPER bright! LOL! but it was worth it, so much awesome! =)
When we went back in, I got out of vixen and into Jasper! And flail danced about for a while ^__^ It was also still very hot... (dont think there was aircon? just big fans and little potable ones) so ended up just being human with jaspers cloths and tail and danced for the rest of the night. I saw an AWESOME gryphon suit I LOVED!! (BIRDS ROCK!! <3) and the guy who owned it was the last DJ for the night!! YEY!! also so much awesome!! We stayed for the WHOLE thing!!! Chatted a long time in the headless lounge with Quinn and Amadhia, had drinks and had fun! then we all went out for the last 1/2 hr and went all out!! =D
Was kinda sad at the end when it was over that all the poles "graffiti" just got torn down and thrown away. But good to have last chance good byes with those who were there aswell. Had a little talk with Pete, got given Rubah's "Midfur security" patch as there will be no more "midfur" that needs security! Had photos, more goodbyes and hugs and then it was off to get some sleep for the 11.5hr drive home the next day!
All up it was a fun con!! and I look forward to the 2014 January fur con of unknown name/ "Egyptian Nights!"
