Post MFF Journal

General
So... I survived the deep freeze in Chicago where MFF took place just a few days ago. Wow - gotta to back to work tomorrow and I'm still exhausted from all the travelling to and from 'The Windy City'
'Windy' was a good description... was 25F with a wind chill that made your ears freeze up and your paws feel like they could fall off. Perfect weather for the fursuiters though, if they wanted to cool off they just went outside and froze themselves for a bit, no need to take the head off even!
Wasn't so good for me though as I had a half-mile walk to/from the con to the Westin where I was staying, at least I had a warm coat with me.
So what did I do there? Well I took a few photos (I'll upload these when I get a chance) and shot some video at the con. Most of the time I was hanging around... though I did also pop in for the Open-Mic panel in the ballroom and Uncle Kage's story hour, I honestly laughed in such a way I can't remember the last time I had such a good laugh.
After four days of furry goodness and talking with people I know and cherish, it was time to head home. Woke up at 6am local time to catch the 8:45am American Airlines plane back to Sea-Tac, arrived at 11:00 Seattle time (13:00 in Chicago) and caught the 13:00 Bolt Bus back home to Canada, which arrived in time for me to take transit to the 19:00 ferry back home to Victoria, BC. All-in-all, eighteen hours of travelling. *faints*
So that was my last con of 2013... and it went as well as I could have expected it to.
My next cons will be provided in a list in a following journal, stay tuned!

Yep, each con certainly has something to remember it by. MFF was absolutely no exception to this, so I'll definitely be returning.
