MFF 2013 Recap!
12 years ago
General
Oh my God. Where do I even begin with this... I think I'm gonna try to keep this one short, haha.
Simply put, MFF is hands down one of the best conventions I've ever been to. From the hotel, the location, the people, the events, every fucking thing about this con is amazing. And I've never felt more alive as a dancer, especially out of suit. This is by far the most I've danced at a furry convention. From the dance competition prelims, the Fursuit Dance Competition itself, Floor Wars, the actual dances/raves, all the fucking dance cyphers. I actually went so hard at the fucking prelims, that I was shockingly too tired to stay at the rave afterwards, which is...very uncharacteristic of me, if you've ever hung out with me at cons. I try to stay at every dance, every night, from start to finish, but Friday, I was just too tired and sweaty after those prelims to stay all the way through the dance.
I certainly made up for that Saturday night, though. I was there for every fucking DJ, like I usually am at the dances, and it was so awesome seeing FOUR of my favorite DJs in a row hit the stage, back to back.
I can absolutely see why everybody loves this con so much.
It was wonderful seeing so many old friends again, some of whom I hadn't seen since FWA, and was surprised not to see at RF. And of course, it was great meeting a ton of people that I've been dying to meet in person.
I really don't wanna name names, because there are WAY too fucking many, especially since this is the biggest con I've been to thus far, but so many of you guys made this con for me. It was so special. I call this Midwest Dance Fest and Midwest Feels Fest for a fucking reason. Now, more than ever, I feel closer to the Dancer Furs, I really do. So many of you guys encouraged me so many times throughout this con, and I was so happy to make it past the prelims into the finals for the dance comp. And for the dance comp itself, I was actually happy with my performance. I didn't hate it for once, haha.
Here's the video of my dance. :)
And as I mentioned earlier, I competed in Floor Wars, too. It was my first time doing so, and I'm also happy with how I did there. Check out that video here:
Yeah, it was fun. I think the only complaint I have with the con is that you have to travel to get food. If you don't order pizza or eat in the expensive hotel restaurants. That's really my only complaint. MFF is also really...big. Like, really big, for me, haha. But that's not so much a complaint as just something to...adjust to when going for the first time.
What a wonderful way to wrap up 2013. :) I can definitely say I'm going back next year. :)

As for the food, did you ever go to the con suite? They had food there, a fact which surprised me. I've never been to a con where they offered free food and I was overjoyed to find it there. It was nothing stellar, really. There were chili dogs one day and tacos the next, lots of snacks and a soda fountain too. Hardly hauté cuisine, but the price was right and it certainly fit the bill for "Oh shit I have to do ALL THE THINGS but I haven't eaten all day I need to shove something in my mouth really quick before the next thing what do I do?!"
I'm so happy you had a good time!!
