obligatory MFF journal.

General
I was there this weekend. I had a horrible couple of days due to depression but there were definitely some positives. I got to see
Acme in perrson and spend some time with him. I got to see friends i haven't seen in years. And I got to room with 3 amazing people who I call family.
I do have to talk about saturday night/sunday morning though. For anyone who hasn't heard, and if you haven't you must live under a rock. Those of us at MFF came under attack saturday night/sunday morning. In that moment of panic it was all I could do to not cry. I had gone up to the 7th floor to see if a friend was in their room and in the elevator on my way back down to my room on the 4th floor i heard someone say "Chlorine gas leak". I still had no idea what was about to happen so i made my way to my room and grabbed my con badge to go downstairs. As I walked out my door to go downstairs I heard the alarm sound. I ran back into my room, woke sky up and said the alarm is going off we gotta get out. Grabbed my phone, coat and ID and we got out our door and down the stairwell.
At this point the lobby is completely cleared and you could distinctly smell chlorine in the lobby. We got outside and I ran around looking for people and trying to get the jist of what was going on. I tried to find acme but he had apparently gone over to the hilton which i didn't find out until later. Eventually we were all moved into the convention center where I tried to help out where I could in moving people where they needed to go.
I ran into Draces and he got a hold of Acme to find out where he was and i settled down shortly after that. I snuggled up with leo in the back middle area of the convention center and charged my phone for a bit so I could keep up to date on the social media side of things.
I finally got back to my room a little before 5 and collapsed from pain and tiredness. My knee just couldn't handle sitting on a cold concrete floor for that long but thankfully the MFF staff allowed me to use the elevator to get back to my room.
Thanks again to
Acme
Draces and so many other people for making my weekend memorable.
