MFF 2017 - Too Much Awesome

Unlike my Megaplex journal I'm actually going to keep this one brief. Why? Because MFF was simply too awesome to describe. My experience there was absolutely amazing. Other than half-day drive up, I super excited to get there and boy was it worth it. Yea the journey up in a Chevy Express 3500 was different and a friend but having two awesome riding people made it well worth it. I brought all my suits and what was even better.. I wore all of them! Unlike at Megaplex where Xander didn't get any time, this time everyone got time out including a new transformation for Lilah that was.. WOW!

I must say that MFF has a lot of pros that work for it and only a few cons that would keep others on the fence. First and foremost is that all of the hotels are very friendly and helpful when it comes to checking in/out of them. I stayed at the Embassy for MFF which I loved. Even when me and my room mate went to the wrong hotel at first, the staff was nice to tell us that we needed to be across the street which was fine! The hotel room was HUGE even for a single King. With 7 suits in the room, we still had PLENTY of space to use when we didn't just strip out of suit and pass out on the bed.

There is a mall just a short walk/drive away if you needed anything but things can get VERY VERY expensive there if you're not careful. Same with food, it can be expensive and in large portions if you're not cautious. Of course there is fast food but that's not what you go to Chicago for! No i did get a chance to have a Chicago-Dog but next time I will.

MFF is also home to A LOT of furs and I do mine A LOT so except to find alot of furs with common interests when you go especially for a first time. I didn't get alot of time to meet up with people I wanted to meet up with like

itallonova and nightclaw BUUUUUT it did have a lot of fun meeting new people as well! Even more so I didn't realize that once you found a group of people with common interests that it would be like a party. Just ask

furrymike at the fursuit menagerie.

Now if you're a fan of getting you're picture taken... YOU can literally spent countless amounts of time just posing for photos. Trust me on this as Xander during the long registration line and Savoy a little later all go to have a taste of that. I swear between the two of them.. I made more stops to pose for the camera than I did between FWA and Megaplex. Even more so, Lilah's transformation was very well liked as well even with the slow, menacing walk I was doing, think like WWE's Undertaker.

The nights where pretty quiet once the con events came to a stop and people where just mingling or milling about for last second pictures. Unlike FWA which kept having howls at night. MFF was very quiet with the exception of the airport noise. This is plus for me since after suiting most of the day and with a full belly, I'm ready for sleep and need only a little background noise to keep it that way. Megaplex was quiet for the most part too but MFF takes the cake.

Another thing MFF has going for it is you get to see people you haven't last con you went to and in this case.. I...well...Savoy actually, got to see Telephone again but no picture was taken as I had a plan that was going into effect. I also to to meet up with a friend I had seen since FWA and another who I seen before at Megaplex.

Like any event, there is always the bad but it wasn't as strong as other places I've been but they fall inline as follows:

1: Registration Line is horrificly long. Like you can watch an entire feature length/blockbuster movie while waiting in line to get registered. I was in suit as Xander and yes even Xander was getting pretty mad how long the line was. However I did get to pose for a few pics.

2: If you staying at or trying to leave the main hotel.. at the end of day/con it gets really really busy! So much so that at the end of the con when everyone was leaving, I was able to drop off two new friends at Chicago's Amtrak station, in DOWNTOWN and return just as he was getting down stairs to load the van. That's how busy it is there.

3: Food is expensive in the area and is served in large portions so be careful there before ordering unless you want fast food.

4: If you're not a fan of Dutch Angel dragons beware because MFF has LOADS of them, A lot of people complained about this but I'm not really complaining just saying that if you're not careful you could be rubbing ears/tails with one or accidentally stepping on the tail of one. I brushed a couple by accident but when you have ears a large as Savoy's... it happens. And remember I do have an angel dragon of my own but he's non-dutch so yea. Now if yo're not a fan of them, just keep walking. I will say during my Lilah-Grumpy phase, I did have one help me the ear heavy head to stay put.

5: I got touched... ALOT so if you're a not found of being touched... just watch out. Now since I'm mostly a silent suiter or squeaky... it does get hard to convey no touching but none of it was in foul.

That about wraps up MFF which was awesome and more so, I wish to return to it! I had fun meeting two new friends and more so they were awesome roommates too! If you have or know of any photos of me in suit, feel free to hit me up!
