Convention Outlook for 2014
12 years ago
General
Well, it seems as though 2014 will be a lean year for me as far as furry gatherings go. I started off the year with a "New Year's Resolution" to be more active in the furry fandom than I was last year. Unfortunately, my current work situation is making it a very difficult resolution for me to not break.
Here's how things look for me convention-wise for 2014:
FurSquared (Milwaukee, WI) - This is the convention's first year in existence and I definitely plan to be there to help represent my home town.
Biggest Little Fur Con (Reno, NV) - I really really REALLY wanted to attend this one. I've heard so many good things about this convention and the buzz behind it got me really interested. Unfortunately, even though I have the time off from work to go, there's just no way I can afford the air fare at this stage of the game. So, unfortunately, this one will have to be tabled.
Anthrocon (Pittsburgh, PA) - Over the last couple of years, I've lost any interest I previously had in attending this event. 2014 is no different for me...this one's a no-go.
Megaplex (Orlando, FL) - I like this convention, and have been looking for ways to return. Sadly, it might be quite a while before I can be able to go back.
Midwest FurFest (Rosemont, IL) - Initially, it looked as though I wouldn't be able to go, but with the recently-announced date change this might actually work in my favor. I'm making plans to attend this one, and hopefully I'll be able to return for 2014.
So, in place of any furry convention traveling which I've been able to do in past years, I'll probably look to the more localized events for my furry fix. Milwaukee is not very much of a drive to Chicago, and there are several events in that area I've had interest in attending but hadn't yet. 2014 is the year when this will change.
I guess at this point, things are more at a "Wait and See" status. One thing's for sure, though...I'm going to do my best to make the most of what I have.
