MFF Recap 2016 Edition
9 years ago
So here is my obligatory post-con summary! Overall, MFF was a great con and this year really cemented its place as my favorite con. It was my second year and just as great as the first. I once again was not in the main hotel but the shuttle service, lack of elevator wait time, and free breakfast made up for it. I brought 4 suits: Ruki, Ryu, Milo, and Stella. This was the first con that I really planned out which suit I would wear when, and I feel like that really paid off. I got to give them all attention and except for Milo, I know there's lots of pictures taken of them. By the way, if you find any of me, send them my way! Speaking of pictures, I managed to find a different photographer for my fursuits this year and he was wonderful! Go give Blazecollie follows everywhere and give him money! He does photoshoots for free a lot and I feel like he needs more appreciation and such. So now, into specifics!
Thursday
We got there on Thursday evening, around 8 I believe. All I really did that day was partial in Ruki for a bit and went to the dance.
Friday
I didn't have much planned on Friday other than the cats and boxes panel, so I just kinda drifted around in Milo. It was his debut con! It was awesome to be able to bring my fursona to life and to bring out some cat sass. I was kinda drunk and tired this day, so I was a little out of it and don't remember much rip. At 7:30 was Game Grumps Live though! I bought tickets like a month in advance and I was pumped as FUCK to go. And it was super amazing, totally worth the money. I loved seeing downtown Chicago too. I'm a sucker for big cities and this one really made me fall in love.
Saturday
This was my busy day! I had a ton planned and really got to have fun! I woke up early for the gift exchange, and I felt kinda inferior with all the amazing gifts. I ended up getting a super gay pink horse plush and an awesome badge drawn by Jay. I headed back to my room to suit up in Ruki for the menagerie. I didn't really care about the menagerie itself, but I was excited for the fennec photoshoot and the green suit photo. Right after that, I went to do a sweet music video, which was really cool! I got to internally fangirl over some popufurs and I fell in love with how delightfully Australian Sunny Dingo is. I also got to see someone I used to talk to years ago, and it was cool to catch up although I was a little ashamed at how I had embarrassed myself in front of him when I was younger. After that I went to a party, which was pretty awesome, and I got to experience some new stuff. There was another party after that one which I won't talk about publicly. And then I missed out on the dance again in favor of meeting up with some people.
Sunday
This was the day when things were starting to wind down a bit. I suited around in Ryu for a bit, and my photoshoot was today. Unfortunately 2 suiters were missing so I'll see what I can do about that. This was the day it snowed though, and that was super exciting! In NC, we don't get much and it usually melts right way, so I was really pumped to go play in it. There were definitely people taking pictures of me being adorable, so hopefully those turn up soon. The dance comp was happening as well, but I missed it in favor of cheering up a friend. I'll be watching it on Youtube when it goes up. After the dance comp and my photoshoot, I was dying so I went back to my hotel. I had some free time so I ordered Dominos! Probably my favorite part of the con tbh. Those chocolate lava cakes are baeeee. After that, I went back to the con and hung out with friends. Unfortunately I missed the dance yet again omg
And then we packed up and left on Monday. Here's some quick general notes about the con
-I bought a certified dancerfur badge from MaryMouse! It's official guys B)
-This was the debut con of Sparks 2.0 all together as well as his 4.0 head. It was also the debut of Milo and a certain red cheese wedge's new head. I had one other suiter at the con but I never ran across her
-There were some really shitty moments but overall I think the good things made up for it
Shoutout to the pals who made this con shine:
So, goals for next year: dance more and drama less. Also spend more time suiting and less time in people's rooms. Next con is probably Fur the More, so I'll see ya then!
