We were supposed to be back home ~48 hours ago, but our car decided that functioning properly is overrated. I don't know exactly what it is that happened (I think there's something with a piston no longer working and the rest of the engine just kinda shat all over itself and borked everything), but the end result is that we had to get towed to a tiny little town 20 miles north of the state border, only to spend two nights figuring out that we need to get the car towed the rest of the way to Albuquerque.
Our reasoning is that Little Tiny Town Mechanic was quoting us $7k for a repair, and on top of that, they're like 250 miles out of the way for us, so coming back for the car would be an awful pain in the ass. The mechanic in ABQ quoted $5k, so, AWESOME. THANKS CAR. At least it happened on our way back home instead of on our way to the con, because that would've been much worse.

We had an amazing time at RMFC, too. There was a decent number of us New Mexico furs who went. Spending time getting to know people better when I only really kinda know them from the Telegram group, that was something I enjoyed. Spent time harassing  dragoncrescent and  eaglethecheetah which was like... I don't even know how to put into words the feelings I have for getting to spend time with them. They're the extended family I never had, and that probably plays a lot into why going to RMFC, a convention I went to for the first time in a city I've never been to before, it felt more like going home than being on vacation. It felt like going to a family reunion where you actually like the members of your family. The best times I had there was having people just coming over to our room to watch the Olympics and play Cards Against Humanity. It was very laid-back and I'm okay with that.

I'm not gonna lie, there were numerous hiccups here and there at the convention, but the vast majority of them seem to be more from the fustercluck of being in a different hotel for the first time (and the hotel, I kinda get the feeling that they didn't know how to deal with a decently sized convention, even though it's part of a damn convention center). The issues that came up are kinda non-issues in the sense that RMFC's going back to their original hotel next year, so it's kinda moot to get that upset over them. We already pre-reg'd for next year, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the con will be like back in it's natural habitat (and if we end up not being able to make it, oops, I guess it's a donation or something).

So, summary, RMFC was fantastic, the trip home was decidedly much less so. OH, and I got an absolutely lovely badge from  wolf-nymph of the Jiggly Raptor. My terrible, trash-eating idiot baby doesn't deserve to look that good, but I fucking love it anyway. 300% worth it.
