MFF 2019 Con Report - How to lizard at a convention..
6 years ago
Ho boy D:!
It's that time of the year again when the lizard decides to go on an adventure... AND AN ADVENTURE IT WAS!
So many new things from booking flights and handling Airports and trying to navigate in a foreign country.
Never been to the US but definatly wanted to go there... even more as I get to meet my closest friends I know since my earlierest time in the fandom.
Was quite the travel @3@
Starting at wednesday morning to drive to a parking service, which took me then with a shuttle to the airport.
Followed by Airport shenanigans of Lizard learning how to get to places D:!
Getting my flight to Coppenhagen then and having my 20$ worst ever Denmark Pizza... Tweeting about Smörebrod stuff (WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT PLOT DETAIL)
Cause
did some detective work and concluded from my tweets, that we are on the same flight. Snooping out my seat and suddenly surprising me! Was a nice surprise as I met them at Eurofurence years back, which was really fun as well~
Making my way to the loews and being really really high energy! Excited to meet all my friends and stuff.
Just then the bomb hit.
All the cool macro furries that were already there have been assembled at the Hyatt bar and having fun. Followed by my self esteem hitting rock bottom and my social anxiety kicking in full gear. All I could think at that moment was how ugly and undeserving of friends I am and that they will probably be much happier without me. So I just spent the entire night in bed crying pretty much.
Was nice though that
and
tried to invite me over, but after hearing who else was all there, my esteem dropped even more! I didn't felt worthy at all to be with so many people I consider so much freaking cooler than myself. So my first night was pretty much just recovering from that blow to my mental breakdown. Was alone also cause my roommate hasn't made it to the hotel yet and would come a day later than me.
Next day was slow start with me just getting myself ready and just wandering early at the morning across the whole hotel and convention area, getting myself familiar with everything. Pretty much just 2 hours of me walking all across the place and being alone, checking social media and messengers who else was around. After some chatting I finally met up with
who was so nice to warm me up a bit. Took me up to his room to meet a few others. Also finding out that one of them was
which I had been talking before. I was still pretty stiff and awkward at that time so didn't do much other than being shy and reserved.
Then found out that
was lost somewhere on a table! Likely being Shrunk by 
Figured out I can meet her too! Having awkward search while not knowing how she looks like x3~ but we figured that out~ as she is even more adorable in person than being a tiny racoon~ got to hang out with them and meet even more people. Finally starting to not feel like utter garbage and having some fun!
Tagging along to some macro/micro furry nomfest at the Hofbräuhaus and probably meeting even more people that I forgot now @3@ But I certainly remember
who is probably one of the nicest and jolliest person I met so far... and very deserving on getting stomped on!
Later that day I got to hang out with June, Matty and
to watch some cartoons ,w, which was also very nice!
Then I finally got to greet my roommate!
who was a real sweetheart to me ,w, taking care of me lots when I was struggling with myself and handling me while in fursuit. Got to enjoy LineCon with them and meeting even more peeps! I wanted to get registered as soon as possible so I can use my time better to fursuit!
Probably shouldn't go into all the details or else this Journal will be ENDLESS....
Here a quick rundown of the events happening D:
Picking up our badges from
together with
and friends!
Having Breakfast at Dennies and bumping into

Storming the Artist Alley and meeting all the great artists I didn't even knew where there ... my wallet melted x3
Got some commission from Mabo,
,
,
,
,
... and won a raffle to get a sketch by
... with people already being envious about that x3... so my wallet is offically dead at this point!
Got myself a new bandana cause my old one was almost a gang signifier x3 so now I am wearing godzilla instead.
Having Chicago Deep Dish Pizza party with Torres!
Macro meet shenanigans where I met FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE TO LIST @3@
Fat Fur meeting afterwards at the Consuite along with all the free food x3
Fursuiting a lot with friends and being a total snuggle pest
Watching a movie "Promare" with a lot of friends ,3, thanks to

Having a Pizza Smash bros party minus the smash hosted by
and
while being in fursuit! Derping all around
Being Stuck at the Hyatt in the middle of the night cause I was at the FURTHEST AWAY HOTEL and didn't want to walk back alone.
Had a bad expierence earlier by walking in the dark towards the convention and people just Honking and yelling things at me from their car.
But Ian and
both helped me by getting me a taxi back ;w; was super nice of them!

Generally hanging out with all the people and then
being a sweety and driving me to my hotel also in the middle of the night... did suck hard that I was located at one of the hotels which weren't connected via skybridges.

The following tweets moment later clued me in to their location I should be checking; sure enough, the whole of the aircraft was lodged between the leapers massive thighs. :>
Some embellishment of the story may have occurred.
Hmmm I am hungry! What shall I eat while waiting for the next plane?
I KNO! HOW ABOUT PIZZA!!! There is no way someone can mess up a Pizza!...
I was soooooooo wroooong
OR DO YOU WANT ME TO MENTION YOUR GARBAGE? x3
Hope to go to a con myself someday
