MFM 2014 Post-con Report
11 years ago
General
I can't believe you're reading this!
Oh man, I don't even know where to begin with this one. There's just too much awesome that happened. I met so many people and made a lot of new friends.
I wasn't really sure what to expect from this con, at first. I more went for
ZellInfurno because she needed to get her name out there, and what better way than in a small room with about 500-700 people stopping by? She got around 20 commissions and perhaps a few that she'll get post-con. So, that was a huge success.
I'm not from the south, I just moved here this year, and I know absolutely no one around here. So I went in not knowing a single person and left knowing so many. Too many cool people to list, you all know who you are!
I wanted to go to a few panels but didn't go to any due to my eff-ed up schedule. I didn't sleep at night and probably only got like 5 hours sporadically through the day. Damn you 3rd shift!
I also handed out about 100 free samples of my candy. I would have given out more, but I ran out of cards (fun story, the cards I had ordered didn't make it before the con so I had to print some the day before), and I was almost out of candy too. Hopefully that drums up some hype for my future business. http://www.kainesconfectionery.net check it out by the way, it's pretty great.
Also, I know I've said this before, but now it's cemented: I'm gettin a damn fursuit. I will attempt to build one first, and if the head looks like crap I'll just order one. I've already got the foam, I just need the motivation. There were so many good suits at MFM and awesome suiters. The girlfriend has decided she wants one too (I knew she would, she just needed to meet some good fursuiters, not the creeps)
The only real problem that I had with MFM was the internet at the hotel, that's not the convention's fault, but if a hotel plans on hosting a convention, they should at least have a network capable of handling the amount of people they can room. Maybe it's a good thing? But I like adding people on FA, Twitter, Facebook, or whatever right when I meet them, that way it's done and overwith. Now I've gotta go back and wonder who the hell so-and-so is and when I met them. Really hard to do when you were cocked off your ass. Like I said though, only problem I had, and it wasn't too big of a deal.
I know the mate and I will be going back next year, and we're already planning for other conventions to attend!

Regardless, I was very glad to meet you and Zell at the con, and I'm glad you guys had fun! I took a year and built my own fursuit; it's not the best out there, but it's mine, and I made it, so I love it. Once you get the head into a shape that actually starts resembling a head, you'll feel that excitement growing within you.
drop me a line anytime bro. im busy, but i can try to talk xD
