Midwest FurFest 2014 Recap
11 years ago
Yeah! Furry con!
Got back from Midwest FurFest on Monday but was too sick to do anything until now...
So, following the traditions of attending a convention, here's my "quick" recap:
• Wasn't able to get Thursday off so I had to drive 8+ hours after an 8+ hour shift.
• Google Maps decided to crash in the most inconspicuous way possible and it took an extra hour to get back on track.
• Almost had to sleep in the lobby but we luckily got that sorted out!
• Friday is when the fun started and the initial meet-ups occurred
• Commissioned some cool people in the Artist Alley and hung out with some fun fatties
• Friday night was uneventful.
• Saturday featured more commissions and hanging-out!
• Embarrassed myself in front of a dude that I admire and under odd circumstances to boot.
• To those who walked in on us Saturday evening, that was exactly what it looked like~
• Saturday night was when the Chlorine gas thing happened and, after getting evacuated, I slept on concrete...
• Sunday morning was Groggy Con and the goodbyes unfortunately began.
• We went to a Brazilian Steakhouse (as part of a 20+ person group) and I was that guy who kept eating when everyone else was full...
• Had a bunch of alcohol left so a sweetheart cat introduced me to a rapidly expanding room party.
• A few drinks in, I started doodling some free commissions for some guys and they both offered interesting forms of payment!
• Drunkenly wandered around the lobby and met up with some nice Quebec Furs! (Got to talk in French with 'em too!)
• Got a good night sleep and woke up already feeling the effects of con crud.
• Drive home was super long due to frequent puking.
• Had to stay home sick on Tuesday but feeling much better now!
All in all, it was a fun time and I even got to learn some unfortunate lessons too!
And, if all goes well, MFF should be seeing more of my dumb face again next year!
FA+

Anyway it was nice meeting you and it was fun chatting and whatnot! And hopefully I'll be able to see you next year as well :D
Also, you were a super fun and cool guy that I'd love to bump into again soon!
