I had lots of fun at MCFC, it's the first con for a while now that I've actually really enjoyed and was able to sorta come out of my shell. Normally at cons I'm really shy and can't really get myself to interact more with people and I'm usually a stiff board, even in fursuit, but for some reason MCFC was different. I met people, I talked with people, I snugged people, I danced and actually enjoyed myself, I can't think of the last time I enjoyed myself at a con dance. It might have helped that this is the first con I've been 21 for, and being filled with alcohol definitely helped my social anxiety and shyness, but even when I was sober I felt a lot more open and confident about myself.

I was also really digging the small con feel MCFC had, people were a lot more willing to interact with random fursuiters and weren't solely obsessed with trying to find their favorite fursuiter, and people weren't always trying to rush to see all their friends, the interactions felt more genuine, and people seemed more willing to just hang out with random people. I dunno, I'm just kinda blabbing here trying to put my thoughts into words, but my past few cons (MFF and AC) have been hard on me and I didn't enjoy them as much as I should have, especially MFF since I didn't have much fun there last year. It's hard for me to come out of my shell, and especially hard when there's so many people all in their cliques and friend groups.

I think I'm gonna make a serious effort to go to more smaller cons and stay away from larger ones, I definitely enjoy myself a lot more at them. I'm hoping to make Furry Migration this year since it's smaller and I have a few people there I want to meet and see again; and I'm still planning on MFF this December, but if it's anything like how it was last year, I think that'll be my last large con for a few years a least.
