MFM 2009 Con report.
So the drive down was pretty painless. 11PM, left the station on Wednesday night and got to the hotel at 9AM. Did the usual Thursday morning Cracker Barrel Breakfast pre-con.
When we arrived to the hotel, they let us into the room pretty quick and and we crashed out till about 1 PM, then it was time for a late lunch/early dinner at Red Lobster with Hikaru, Subby, Kellogg, and a couple of Hikaru's friends. It was all you can eat shrimp night so we came back stuffed and I wasn't really up for suiting that night because of it. After just hanging out, I crashed about midnight and then was up for a snack at the con suite when it opened.
On Friday, I ended up suiting for a good chunk of the morning, got my fursuit badge and then Subby and I left to go have a quick dinner with my Sis and family before my DJ set. When I got back, it was setup, prep and then after Isfacat's show, played my set till 12:30. I did a dubstep and then Drum and Bass set. For next year we may throw in more DJs and mix it up a bit more. Overall the set went well and I have video to work on with it now. Ended up hanging out with Subby, Kellogg, Lucky, and Malo until early morning since everyone else was crashed out already.
On Sat, slept in a little, then grabbed a quick lunch at Applebee's with Yukon, Podamy, Malo, Subby and Lucky. After lunch, ran around the dealers den and got some art. I came back down in suit a little to get some pics with one of the artists I ended up commissioning. Then Kellogg, Subby and I went off to Beale St for some fun. Got pics of them in front of a giant blue cock (rooster ;) ) and then hit up wet willies and an irish pub for drinks and food. Once we got back, ended up having a bit to drink and ran around late doing some drunken suiting for fun before going to pass out.
Got up Sunday and Subby and I went over to my families for some lunch. After we got back, just hung out until dinner time where we found this awesome sushi place and had a blast. Tried to make a ghetto booze run on Sun, but it didn't happen, so we just came on back and chilled that night. Had fun suiting one last night before the con was over. Also stuffed Podamy into one of my suits and he had an absolute blast.
Monday, said our goodbyes and left out. The drive was pretty painless except for the nasty cold I came down with just before. I got in and am just recovering now.
So thats pretty much the con report.
The good: Chilling with friends and having fun.
The bad: Caught a cold from visiting my relatives and have sorta con crud now.
