Welllllll 
lorddexx and I are finally back from MCFC 2017.
Overall it was a hard con but still a good one for us. There was some drama, from a known drama source, that yet again used us as a target. We ignored it as best as we could and enjoyed ourselves regardless.
So Dexx left a few days early to go back to the city we just moved from. I took a bus after work and met up with him and the 3 others we would be riding with on Wednesday. We drove all night and arrived at 11 the next morning, ready to check in and tired from the long drive and minimal space. The room wasn't as we expected but we managed to make it work for everyone. We got to wind down a bit at the pool and soak in the hot tub. Thursday night was pre-registered pick up and I decided to volunteer and worked 4 hours at the pre-reg laughing my butt off and making sure everyone got what they needed. While it was a little disorganized chaos at first, it was still a blast and I plan to do it again next year!
Friday was a busy day with the opening ceremonies, checking out the dealer's den and checking in on our dealer, looking for people we know and then checking out artist alley. Dexx also hosted his panel, How Batman is a Furry, which was funny and gathered a good amount of us nerds together. Friday night was full of laughing as we got ourselves into a game of Lupus in Tabula (werewolf but with modifications). Not only did the werewolves win...I was one ;). We ate one of my friends and then blamed it on the other friend all cause he made a joke about it the 'day' before hehe. It was a blast playing off coy the whole time and really making people question who it was. I never denied it, only questioned why they thought I was the right choice, which really seemed to move people's thoughts onto someone else. Hey, we even ate my boyfriend! ...who then murdered a werehamster cause he was the Hunter...bahahahah meaning no more werehamsters to win the game! It haven't had that much fun playing Werewolf in years!
Saturday was a little busy, up for the Parade. Dexx walked in the fur parade and I filmed (not that best quality mind you...). Then off to my own panel, Gender Diversity, and get to talk to people and give the little advice we could for the time. It was good to see everyone there and I hope I was at least some comfort or help to those that gathered with us. Saturday was the Super Sponsor Dinner, which we got to see one of our friends from last year, a silly shy one full of smiles. It was nice to sit with one of our new friends too, a pretty druid with all the questions, and spend some time with some of the staff. By the time the evening came we were planning to go to another Lupus in Tabula game but we arrived just moments too late. So we went back down and joined our trio of friends, a snuggly nomming kitty, a sassy wise kitsune and a goofy sweet red panda, for a drinking game and then to hang out in the lobby for a few hours. In the lobby I ended up with small world syndrome, when someone I didn't know came right up to me and asked if I was the small green bat. I was not wearing any of my badges or anything obvious, just my name badge, but he hadn't asked the name. Turns out he recognized me from one of my MCFC videos and then he recognized Dexx just from the sound of his voice! Turns out it was the Rock'in Dragon, and when we got the Kitsune to come back down to see him, his partner arrived...who was just the artist they had been looking for all day! All turned out eh!
Sunday felt a bit long as I hadn't slept well that night. We went down for breakfast and then to the artist alley to get a last few commissions in before closing time. We both got a few commissions of our characters on ACEO/ATC cards! It was a new thing to do and we both really loved it! Now I have a few little badges of different characters of mine which I hope to post in the coming days! Still waiting on a few last ones that should be shipped to us but we aren't stressed. Dexx even won a raffle for some art! After Artist Alley we checked on our Dealer Nereza and helped her pack up some before we headed for the Closing Ceremonies. It was short but sweet, we raised 9700~ $ and they brought it up to 10000$ for Pets for Vets! Everyone was so touched and it's so beautiful how much furries can do together for others. At the end we learned there wasn't a Guest of Honor or even Theme picked out yet, which made us sad. But we are hoping to hear about it soon! Sunday night wrapped up with some hanging out with the Kitsune, Panda and Kitty. Even got to hang out on the patio and in one of the rooms with out new friends, drinking, laughing and having a good time. It was nice to just talk and not worry about the world and as the night drew to an end I knew I was going to be sad to leave my new friends.
Monday morning I packed up a lot of my stuff and headed down to put in an hour volunteering with the AV guys and then finished the packing and headed for the car. I hugged all my new friends, and we agreed we would stay in contact! While there was some issues, Dexx and I are debating if we go next year, or even if we can. We are hoping so and look forward to see everyone again!
We got to eat, drink and merry...a lot! I was having so much fun I actually didn't go on my computer for 2 days...I tend to go on it a lot and I'm a little addicted to Furvilla at the moment so this was pretty big to me!
I already miss my new friends, and old ones too, from the con and those that came with us. We are home safe now. Have to scan in some art and update a few pages but trying to relax a little and enjoy my last few days off before back to work.
This has been a crazy long journal but if you got this far thank you. We had a really great time and if you went this year, or may go next year, we hope we see you next year!
