Well MFF 2014 was my FIRST ever fur con, and I'm sure you all heard about the incident with the chlorine, already. But incase you haven't, here's a link to the story: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/.....207-story.html
Friday: When I got there, I just instantly lit up with all the fursuiters I saw, and I felt that I could just explode with happiness! I walked around most of the day, just to get a feel for where most of the stuff was, Got a pic. with
coopertom (Will post all pics. later) at his first MFF! After some more walking around, I went to watch part of a dance competition. And then later, I went to the rave at about 10:30, I think and stayed until 2:00. I went to the room and then hit the sack.
Saturday: When I woke up, I went to meet up
aniro and his roomies for some breakfast, I felt the food was HORRENDOUS and extremely overpriced! After eating, I went to meet up with my buddy, 
idahofox, and we hung out a little, until I started to feel a little sick... So I unfortunately left for a bit to see if I'd feel any better, and it didn't help much. After feeling a little better, I went back to the Dealers' Den to do some shopping, and as I was about to leave, I ran into 
brenderlin! ^^ He was a really nice guy and we had a nice, short conversation, I'd like to see him again at another con. Later, I met coopertom, again, as 
fender and had a great conversation with him, this time. That night, I only went to the rave until Midnight, and waited outside aniro's room to see if I could room with him and his bud's that night. And THEN the chlorine happened... We made it back to the rooms, at about 4:15-4:30 A.M.
Sunday: After some much needed rest, I went back to the Hotel's breakfast, which was a mistake... $9.34 for a glass of orange juice, and a side of sausage! I only had 1 and 3/4 of them, and was just thinking of not paying... I was still feeling bad, but wasn't sure why. I know that since it was before the chlorine incident, it wasn't that. Anyway, after still not feeling good for awhile, I decided it best to go home. Less than an hour after getting home, I got really sick and was bed ridden for the rest of the night.
Monday: was still sick, and stuck in bed all day trying to recover...

Getting sick sucks, but at least you survived chlorinecon!

OP
I'm pretty sure everyone did, Reports say that 19 were hospitalized, and 18 were released shortly after.
