...is that the pirate-themed one? Because my mate invited me up to go to a con in November and he lives in Melrose Park...

Yes! That's the one! You should definitely go :D

I hope I do. Mom and I will be driving up from East Tennessee.

Nice! I'll be driving out with my mom too. We haven't registered yet, but I am tempted to register her badge name as "Pons Sandcat's Mom"

I guess I could register mom as Mrs. Wyndragon, since that is my sona's last name...I didn't know we had to register. I've never been to a con before.

Ohh, yes! You gotta register to get into anything like the dealers den, panels, and any other activity :) The name on the badge can be absolutely anything! This will be my first MFF, but I went to AC this year and last year.

You can check out Furfest.org if you haven't already!

I've checked it before, but I forgot...when you say get in, do you mean watch? Because I can't draw...

Get in as in physically be inside the convention space, like an admission ticket to a theme park, lol. And no worries about not drawing! There's a lot more to fur cons besides drawing (pretty much the only time people are drawing is either in the zoo, if MFF has one of those, which is sort of like a big space with tables for people to gather and hang out, or dealers working on commissions). If nothing else, you can always spend a lot of time just people-watching! Interact with suiters and take lots of pictures.

Ah...I will have to make some sort of costume before than...I don;t have anything of my sona.

I wish I was going to a bigger con like MFF, it looks fun!

I'm happy for you :D

It's funny because my only con experience so far is Anthrocon which is 5k+ people! I think MFF is in the 2-3K range? So it will probably seem smaller to me

My only furcon was under 1000, so it wasn't very big. We're getting progressively bigger with Furry Fiesta next year though! It's weird going from big cons to small ones!

AHH~! You're going to mff?! I am so excited! I really look forward to meeting you!

YES omg we have to meet up! What hotel are you going to be staying in? I'll be in the Aloft :o

I'm going to be in the Embassy Suits. :3 I'll Bring my Lionotto Crocet so you can find me! XD
