MFF 2015 recap-
Where to start. I took a very different approach this time then I have the previous four cons I have been apart of. First off, I decided to go a week in advance, I wasn't going to go but I figured...what the hell. I missed Thursday because of work, right after work (12am) I picked up a friend, went home, changed clothes, and left for Rosemont, IL. Got there 7am central time. Skipping to the early monday morning, I left at 1am central and got home at 9am eastern after sleeping in the car for an hour because i was so tired I was hallucinating and panic braking over nothing, and even then it was a brutal 80 miles after that finishing the trip to keep myself awake, but I made it. Good news is I missed all the Monday traffic at least.
I barely went to any dances, didn't go to ANY panels, and never retreated to my room for a break. It was all about being social. I wrote down a list of 54 people i wanted to meet, and I got to see/chat with 97% of them, even just for 30 seconds in some cases, and I met several new people that weren't even on the list! I'm really happy I was able to meet and talk with so many furs I have been wanting to for quite a while now. Met Rob Hahn and he bought me 1st mixed drink ever, which I loved till I attempted to get up off the bar stool 30 minutes later and nearly fell on my ass, and proceeded to stumble down the stairs back into the lobby. Yes, after ONE drink. The next day i had another one. XD I am the largest derp in the world when drunk and couldn't care less. x3
This year really seemed larger then last year and the numbers show that. 5,606 total registered attendees, and who knows how many people were there that didn't register.
I didn't really spend/buy as much as I have in the past due to all the job crap that has happened this year, but that's ok, I'm happy I was able to make it period!
Roomed with Shangs Mike, Munchy, and the Mystery "A" guy i didn't get to know that well sadly.
Overall, It was a really nice con, not quite as amazing as AC as been for me but a certainly a fun time and much better then last year's MFF.
