MFF 2012 Part 1 (Thursday & Friday)
13 years ago
General
Wow, MWFF or MFF where do I even begin.
Thursday:
Well
Ctcwired and I ended up making the long journey to Chicago. We literally started packing almost a few hours before we were supposed to leave. Overall the drive was nice, no complaints, no traffic (well one spot), and even construction wasn’t too bad. I believe we ended up arriving Thursday at around 9:30pm and that’s when the furry con infected us all.

We went down to registration which was magnificent compared to last year. I had to wait roughly 5 minutes to get my badge compared to last year where we waited almost 3 hours (not fun).
I ended up getting a call from two local fuzz balls.
toyapup , 
Mx Fritz and surprise guest 
NX-42 . Apparently their roommates weren’t getting to the con till Friday night and needed a room. So as the loving blue fox that I am, I opened my floor. For the life of me I’m trying to think of other shenanigans that went down on Thursday, but for the most part I know nothing more than mingling. The meeting in real life of both 
CATCODED & 
Frizzlewolf was magical. All the moaning we used to do online it was so fun to do it in person. (That sounded dirty) I felt terrible also that both Casey and Frizzle pretty much slept in the lobby for being early, but my shenanigans with them would continue throughout the week. I do know that that night was a rough sleep. For some reason our room of 70 degrees decided to hit an iceberg at 4am. Common sense would dictate that we should stand up and turn up the thermometer, but oh no. When you are tired you use caveman logic, struggling to survive the cold at any means necessarily. (Overall not a fun night).
Friday:
The day began rough with only 3 hours of sleep, but FritztheOtter knew of an amazing Pancake house and proceeded to take Me, Immelmann and Toyapup there. Twas a better start of the day. Much meandering occurred with me walking about. Friday I can’t remember much from, no I wasn’t drunk (that comes Saturday) but there wasn’t too much that occurred on Friday yet at the same time a lot. Friday like any con is definitely the day of just kind of saying hi to old friends, meeting ones you’ve never met before, and overall just kind of getting settled into the con environment.
I think after socializing a bit, I went to the room for a nap. Sleeping 3 hours before the first day of a furry con is never recommended. By all means on that first night, get a good night sleep or it will fuck over your next day. I think that’s what partially made Friday at first so miserable for me, was just that I didn’t have enough energy to do anything mid day. After a nap I managed to chill in the lobby with a few people, and I believe that was when I ended up running into
Keto & 
dbear and their posse. It was actually quite fun to say hello to someone I’ve known since about 16-17. I also have to say strange how Keto looks almost exactly like his fursona. (Less dog like though). Surprisingly I think I recognized Dbear first, and I have to say coming from a straight male like myself, he is one handsome and cherubic gentleman. It would have been fun to have made it too his room party and hang, but I was being dragged all over so sadly I missed out. Well there is always next con to party with that once Blue Dawg and his faithful sidekick Cherubic Bear. That and I swear one of these days I will make Keto draw a tit that is not on a guy.
The night was quite fun, besides trying to find a restaurant for 7 people. Ended up getting dragged out by
frostwolf with 
Mortova, 
RedRusker, myself and 3 others (whom I can’t remember by name). Besides hopping between three places and being told 45 min – 2 hour wait time, it was fun to find a very “festive” pub / bar / eatery to sit down at. I think the highlight of the dinner was me ordering a margarita and then this coming into play.

It was a test of my manliness, I drank that like a champ. In the end RedRusker and I walked out of that Pub, those glasses in our hands like trophies of manliness. We were not swayed by the strange looks of other furs, nor the fact that there was a bikini on our glass. We were proud men, aiming to drink a many drink from that glass in days to come. I shall probably drink from it in our Studio on Saturday.
Back to the con I ended up finishing the night following frostwolf to 
FizzOtter ‘s room party. It was there that I ended up running into, 
AusiDogChance (Local Fuzzball) and 
Takoda_Hotah I have to say that that was one of the better parties I attended, simply because it was quaint, chill and very relaxing. I remember Chance, Takoda and I going into indepth conversations of social constructs of the fandom, and different ideas involving fursuit creation and those who really bring forth a lot of character in suit, all the while Fizz was making us sushi. (Oh murr). That was the end of Friday, almost 4am….
(Saturday, Sunday and Monday to be continued in another Journal until then have a very happy Turkey Day!)

For those in the loop: it's a draw for the time being.
