A bit delayed but...MFF Con Report

General
Hey gang!
I know it's been almost a week but I just want to share my thoughts about this year's Midwest Furfest. It was an enjoyable con to say the least. I got to catch up with some old friends, do a bit of fursuiting and explore downtown Chicago a bit. I tell ya, if I could live in Chicago, I totally would. Everyone seems very friendly there. I even went down to the DMK Burger Bar twice after seeing it on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! The food is a bit pricey but their burgers are just to die for. It kind of reminded me of the Burger Barn in Ohsweken, which is not too far from where I live. I even stumbled upon a bar on North Milwaukee Avenue that was literally just filled with retro arcade machines (Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Dig Dug, Joust and even Donkey Kong, which I finally got to try after years of playing it on home consoles). I'm also glad I went downtown because at long last, I was able to grasp these into my paws: http://t.co/dD6Fhy1yFL
As for the con itself, well, let's just say it was a little lacklustre than it was in previous years. I mean, I had a great time, I'm definitely returning next year (if funding will allow it). I didn't really attend any panels, but it's just things like the dealer's room (everybody was pretty much selling the same type of stuff: art, fursuit parts, plushes, books and t-shirts) and the green room for the variety show (it was literally just a closed off corner of the hallway next to the grand ballroom) that made it kind of meh. Nevertheless, I did have a great time and I especially have to thank
timkangaroo for hosting an awesome MLP room party Saturday night and the after con dinner at Giordano's was an absolute blast. Everybody loved seeing 
roxycoon and hearing her chattering. I have so much fun playing the character. She even had a number in the variety show:
On that note, I look forward to what next year's MFF holds in store and it was great seeing everyone that I got to see there. Next con for me is Furnal Equinox in Toronto. Take care everyone!

I still feel bad that I could not help but I think the skit came put really well.
