MFM was this past weekend in Olive Branch, MS, and let me tell you, it was a blast! I got there on Wednesday evening, saw a couple of folks, and basically got my room, and a pizza delivered and a much needed shower. The next day a lot of friends showed up including my wife and roommates. It was a great con overall! Yeah, attendance was down from last year, but I kinda figured it would be as I knew several of the regulars couldn't come for one reason or another, and we lost one long time attendee shortly after MFM last year, which was sad, so very sad. Though seeing the balloons and plush pandas and the remembrance book in HIS chair really touched me, and brought more than one tear to my eye. I'll never forget you, PandaGuy.

It's never a con without some sort of drama, even though Tyger said it was to all stay in Tennessee and not cross the state line. *grins* I saw two people that really were "Wackadoodles", one constantly blathering about this girl he was going to take home and breed and have 14 babies, some bunnies, some tigers, some crossbreeds. Turns out the "girl" in question was a young dude who crossdresses on his badges at least, and had told me the guy in question was fucking nuts. Go figure eh? The other psycho seemed to be constantly stoned and literally was vibrating the whole time.

My dance went well, but like all the dances, I had a low turnout. Just too many other things to do I think. Though for some reason, I cleared the floor when I tried to play "YMCA". That usually goes over well. Maybe, as a friend said at the time, "It's too gay for people anymore?" Hmmm, could be.

Both of my panels went well. "Trucker Furs" was a new idea, and we had a blast, and "TransFurs" seemed to help out a couple of girls, so I was happy, though I spazzed and forgot the starting time and had to be reminded by a phone call from Fyre.

The hotel having that awesome continental breakfast this year was AWESOME! And the buffets at night were really good too, if a bit overpriced, but that's hotel food for ya. We only went out to eat once that I remember the whole weekend.

Of course, Monday sucked. Had a hard time finding an empty trailer to go pick up my load with, then once I did get there and do a drop and hook with the load, I only got 10 miles away when I had a catastrophic trailer tire blowout. I've never seen one explode that bad before. I ended up walking back 1/2 mile and kicking all the gators and schrapnel off the roadway, as it was on a 2 lane road just past the crest of a hill and I didn't want anyone to hit something and crash.

Back to the everyday drag of my life now til MFF in November.
