Midwest Fur Fest Wrapup

General
Im not gonna post an entire day by day breakdown as to what all I did at MFF this year, I dont trust my memory that well. But I will summarize what all I did and about who all I hanged with.
First off, I was so very excited when I found out Tuesday, the day before me and Soggymaster left for the con, that I could go. I know that over the course of these journals Ive been elusive as to why I was unsure if I could or could not go. Im still gonna keep that to myself, but thanks for understanding that I dont want to talk about it to most everyone.
We had a safe drive from my house to the con on Wednesday and arrived latish at night. it was just me and Soggy in the room and darn was it a room, Soggy had reserved a suite. only 1 problem we had with it throughout the whole stay was that the thermostat was broken in the main room where I slept on the unfolded out hida-bed couch. Though we set it to a comfortable 71, the darn thing wouldnt keep that temp and would swing its temp from low 60s to high 70s. we told the front desk when we checked out.
Thursday our other roomys arrived at their times, Mizuhiro from France. he had brought some goodies from his native lands, including proper French wine, that didnt make it to our room. and Malstrum who Greyhounded his trip to Chicago. They where both great people to hang out with and had a lot of fun. I was a little worried at times with Mizu as I never really saw a great deal of him cause he usually was up at odd hours, things you contend with when traveling 8 or 9 time zones. I also hope we didnt keep him up much when he went to bed early. at least he had a door he could close cause the bedroom proper was separate from the main room.
I had lots of fun in my fursuit, though I didnt get very many pics taken of me. Im still new to wearing it and am not as animated as other furs. There where a lot of other great suits there, see link below, that where having a blast. Im a bit of a loner, and that shows even in suit so me just idly wondering around and not really interacting with others didnt help me get pics taken of me. I did suit in the parade and had quite the blast doing it. it was the first parade I had ever done. I was next to a shy suiter named Jay, I cant remember her suits name off hand. I did go to CaliFur this year too, but we had a wedding to attend that took all of the day of that parade.
Other highlights that happened where; we went to Tycloud's room and played Smash Bros a couple of nights. I didnt win much but thats not the point, I had a lot of fun. It even got me out of a bought of depression one night (I know, depression during a con... it happens to me, I know the cause, but not a good fix for it. Im working on getting a good cure for it. if you ever see me alone, head in hands, come up and talk to me, please). We also had a great game of CAH in our suite. Fun was had with many great furs. We went to Giordano's, a pizza place within walking distance. Though I dont go out of my way for pizza, the place did have an amazing deep dish. when they say "Feeds 2-3" they darn right mean it. I had a small deep dish and I could only eat half of it. if you can find their website, they do ship pizza anywhere in the continental US. Friday we had dinner here http://www.hofbrauhauschicago.com/. it was kinda an all Inkbunny furs dinner. we had quite the group and thought the food was way overpriced and not all that good, I did have a great time with those I sat with. they did an ok job with how they served the rather large group, but they could have done way better. met but didnt really get to talk a lot with Noirex, and got to chat with a fur I met during FurCruise 2010, Keet.
All in all, I had an amazing time. met new furs, chatted a little with some, bought some things, and had a blast. Just wish that I could have talked with more furs
Here is a link to most of the photos I took at the con http://s374.photobucket.com/user/Ze.....rapup%20Photos , If you spot yourself in these pics, then please comment and introduce yourself. I didnt get any names from those I took pics of cause I knew I wouldnt remember any of them
