MWFF...
So this was my first MWFF, the trip down was pretty smooth and uneventful; border security didn’t even bother to ask me any questions, not much happening at 4AM I guess. I had a nice pre-con evening with
jaketiggy and 
lone_tiggs ate some good mexican food and left at 4AM to catch a plane direct to Chicago.
Lots of furs in the O’Hare airport, pretty short (and free!) shuttle ride to the Hyatt Regency. Already a bunch of fursuiters running around, first fursuit hug within a minute of entering the lobby ^.^
I spent a good part of Thursday talking with semi local fur
QB89Dragon and hanging around the lobby. Got up to the room/suite at around 4PM, ate dinner and went to registration that night, pretty quick and well organized. Met 
artie and was able to give him a key tag I made.
Friday: Up at 9AM, dealers den (Bad Dragon! Yah), meeting new furs and old. Took the digi legs out for a walk around the lobby, very fun. The V3 legs are quite comfy, best ones yet. New foot design makes balancing in one spot easier than ever.
Was able to meet Paradox
Ctcwired and 
freezframe on my way to a panel, they were hanging out in the sponsor lounge at the time.
So Saturday night was interesting to say the least. Full moon, 4,600+ Furries, crazy room parties and a chlorine attack that evacuated the hotel.
Saturday started like this: I almost slept in past the fursuit parade, woke up at 12. Heading down for food out of 7 people in the elevator I was the only one not in full fursuit. Realizing the parade was happening soon I ran back to the room to grab my gopro. I set up and got video of the whole parade. Was in the lobby when someone threw $1 bills off the balcony during the parade (makin’ it rain!)
The parade went on for a little under an hour, over 1100 fursuits, longest parade I have seen personally. Lots of furry shenanigans during the parade.
After the parade I got noms at the hotel and took a walk to the mall nearby with Darthbear. I wasn’t really expecting to walk around a mall with a tail and furry hood, but it was fine.
Made it back to watch “Too much light makes the baby go blind” a group that does 30 skits in 60 minutes in order chosen by the crowd. There were some great skits and there was the marshmallow skit, yeah anyone there would remember…
After that headed back to the room, the drinking began. I grabbed my bottle of Sake and took some other stuff, figured Saturday night would be a good night to try. Things started to get hard to keep track of after that, good thing I took a lot of pictures.
I joined a travelling room party that visited us including
vignette we roamed to a few room parties and ended up on the 9th floor where I met Lacy and Nick from fursuiting.com. I got a tasty green drink mixed by 
lupinesilvertail a group was playing beer pong, most were just in groups talking and drinking. I left the party to head to the dance but decided to swing by 
spottacus room (10th floor took the East staircase ) to see if anything was going on. Room sounded quiet so I started walking back towards the elevator, I took a picture of the lobby (time 12:27AM) and started to head to the elevator. That’s when I saw 
amenophis walk into the room party I just left. I took the South staircase down and met him there.
Only a few minutes later we started getting scattered calls that the police were in the building at about 12:45. They came up to the room and told us to evacuate just after 1AM. We took the South stairwell. I ran into Tirrel
cerberus on the way down. We exited on the second floor and took the main lobby exit outside. Also saw Kage 
kagemushi heading in to the lobby as I followed the crowd out.
amenophis and I walked to a clear area where we ran into 
kenket wandered a bit more and ran into 
axiowolf doing a live to youtube broadcast of the evacuation.
Since it was about -3C (26.6F) people started getting chilly, they opened up the Donald E. Stephens Convention center where there was a dog show happening. The show was over for the night but the kennels and some dogs were still there. Spotted
purpleqgr in the hall and said hi.
Kept crossing paths with
foxquakes, A drum circle happened, a lot of furs in suit, people sleeping on the floor. I kept wandering the hall, met 
foxalbiazul, sat on some crates with jaketiggy and just before they started to clear out the hall I met 
fayroe near the exit.
All the while amenophis stuck with me, it was very nice to have someone to share the whole crazy experience with, Thanks Amenophis!
Just before 4AM they started clearing out the convention hall and opening up the Hyatt again. I made it back to the room around 4:40AM right after finishing my bottle of Sake.
Finally got to bed around 5:15AM slept in till 1PM.
For Sunday I took the legs out for a walk around the dealers den, had a good talk with
ezwolf and drama lamma. 
fritter also tried the digi legs out in suit, he was up and walking around pretty quick, even without wearing shoes in the stilts. Watched the closing ceremonies and went to Fogo De Chao, and settled into a nice meat coma for the evening.
All in all though I think MWFF has displaced RF as my favorite con, although I still plan to do RF.
