Midwest Furfest!
10 years ago
I'll be going to MFF this year! While I work on the room specifics, I also need to get back into the social scene a bit and meet/talk to furs. Where do people hang out these days? I used to be on Furtopia a lot, but haven't been by there in years. :) Any watchers also going to MFF? It's going to be my first con in about...8 years? Damn.

yes I see this is a month old thread.
Now your friend is coming in before you, perfect, because to me, the earlier the better, I am from S. Chicago, so for me, driving up to Rosemont is like a 1,1/2 to 2 hour drive depending on traffic. I could leave anytime after 4pm CST to meet your friend, assuming the plane (or whatever mode of transportation he arrives on) comes in before your plane should at O-Hare. If such is the case, I should also more have your friend as a contact if I am to likely meet him first for where the room is.
An this is your first furcon in 8 years assuming one of those cons was at MFF then the con is not even in the same hotel back then as it is now. An yes from the Hyatt to the Hilton, and an adjoining parking garage has this Skywalk the PDF & PDF2 better illustrates, so no cold and no having to cross busy streets this way. (one of the few thing MFF 2014 taught me.) I-90 is the Skyway toll road, and I am sure you will do plenty of shopping at the con itself LoL.
Now if this were MFF 2013, when MFF was the weekend before Thanksgiving, then you would have had a major snowstorm problem. I have no clue what in 2 weeks weather will be like sadly.
