MFF odds and ends
12 years ago
I won't try to write a full-on con report for Midwest FurFest, so I'll just stick to a few odds and ends.
Between stuff that happened at work that morning and a long traffic delay en route, I was pretty stressed out when I first arrived and had to immediately report to reg. Rama was kind enough to put me on badges instead of a terminal. Within an hour or so I was getting into much more of a con spirit and would have done okay on the terminals after all. All told, I spent about 14 hours working registration over the weekend.
My list of friends who were there that I would like to have chatted with but I never once saw them is currently up to four:
CmdrKitsune,
DashaRhosenwyn,
Doctor_Fox, and
was1.
MFF really really needs to get a stronger writing and literature track.
That said, it was an awesome con experience overall. I got to talk to a lot of people and got better acquainted with some I had known only in passing. I know of at least two other males I am totally comfortable snuggling with, even though I'm straight and there is no expectation that it will lead to anything more. All three of my roommates (
sawblade5,
Dyandod, and
Maglot) are now on my "would gladly room with again" list.
3,825 attendees! That puts MFF ahead of Further Confusion once again. Anybody want to give odds on whether FC will once again leapfrog MFF to become second largest? I'm giving MFF 3 to 1 odds in favor of staying ahead this time around.

I learned after the fact that
doctor_fox had just gotten a new fursuit, so we both probably saw him several times but never recognized him :3

I asked Perro at the end and he was suitably circumspect as to whether FC would be taking back the number 2 spot. 18.9% growth is hard to match, though.
