Life is too short to waste thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Live for the moment and regret nothing.
I'm sure you've all heard about the chlorine gas incident at MFF.
Other then that I had an awesome weekend! Much better con experience then the last time I was at MFF. There are more people that I wish I had gotten to see and hang out with while I was there though. Spent time with friends, went to a few panels, watched part of the dance comp finals, suited around in Ambrose "the renaissance fox" a little bit (formerly Plex), ate good food, drank too much, spent too much money, etc etc.
Peace love and cookies <3

It was not a chlorine gas leak from what I have seen all over the place, someone poured powered chlorine from a glass jar in a stairwell ... I've heard that if the smallest amounts of the dust get's into your lungs it turns to hydrochloric acid, that's pretty nasty, I hope they find out who did it and punish them severely. Glad you had a good time though, we all spend way too much money at a con, the year before last I was at the art auction at AC, I seen several pieces of art for for more than $10K, some of these furries have some money.

OP
That is correct. From what I understand the gas was released when the jar broke whatever powder was in it was exposed to the air. 19 people went to the hospital and one guy had a seizure and had to be cut out of his fursuit

Oh damn, that sux, I hope he and all the others that had to go to hospital are going to be alright, I hope they didn't mangle his suit too bad that it can be fixed. SB.
