MFF 2016: Worst Con Ever- and it hasn't even happened yet!
9 years ago
OK people. They told everyone to wait for the room blocks to open up and then they'd announce when you could get your grubby, Cheetos-stained paws on a room reservation for MFF 2016. So....I waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited....
And waited.
And waited.
And waited some more...and FINALLY THEY OPENED THE ROOM BLOCK AT NOON TODAY!
So after refreshing the MFF Twatter feed page over 800 times in three minutes (my hoof hurts!!!) I used my cunning, feral camelid skills to pounce on the link the moment it opened. I breathlessly entered my information for a double room...put in my credit card information (maxing it out even more than it was already) ....hit "confirm" and....
THE DOUBLE ROOMS WERE SOLD OUT!!!!
Holy mother of unwashed babyfurs....what is this all about!?
So, I quickly smashed my keyboard back down on the desk, and requested a -single- room....which was still showing as available and I could always complain about it to them later.

[confirm room]
SOLD OUT!!!!
Four minutes after the room block opened.... I waited by my computer for 6 hours to be the first to get a room and it sold out in....
four minutes.
I can't believe my eyes! I mean, I know furry cons will do everything that they can to keep the Drama Llamas out, but we almost always find a way to get into the cons. This reeks of conspiracy! They probably paid Hyatt to keep me away, knowing full well no one will give crash space to a Drama Llama if they can possibly avoid it.
So unfair!!! disappointment....looming.........anger..........mounting...........rage.... building.......
Hnnnnrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
YOU CAN'T KEEP ME AWAY, MIDWEST FURFEST!
I WILL FIND A WAY TO GET THERE, SOMEHOW, AND YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS!!
*stomps off in a yellow, disappointed funk*

I'm gonna find another room and you'll see fire coming from my footsteps because of the rage.
They didn't want you there either.
WILL I TURN YELLOW?!
I'm already yellow. Even when I'm feeling blue.
Which seems to be most of the time, lately.
In the meantime... switch to decaf...
And, it wasn't even (mostly) my fault!
The whole existence of Llamas is to chew, spit, glare and spread drama..
Unless you are one as well.
And my ears aren't flappy enough..
*sigh*
