MFF Con Report
17 years ago
Hello, I'm the Doctor. Not the one most of you seem to know. No, I'm the one with the teeth and curls, it seems you remember me as.
Anyways, I just wanted to let you know what a simply fantastic time I had at your Midwest FurFest. I simply haven't seen such a gathering of species since that one cantina on Gammarey IX (or was it IV?).
I originally showed up, hoping to find 18th century France, wanting to show my companion Emily a spot of nice elegant Earth culture. However, a slight aberration in the nanophotogyrometer landed the TARDIS a few centuries off and on the other side of the planet.
A slight malfunction which was totally not my fault (if only I had some sort of robot companion to help fix that sort of thing. Like a dog or something...) meant that the TARDIS had to stay put for a few days.
Fortunately, the registration staff was more than willing to help us out with badges and even a well-planned itinerary of events and such to pass the time.
Mingling with the humans turned out quite easy. Many of them were in marvelous costumes, although I swear I saw an Auton in the shape of an anthropomorphic mouse. And there was a Tauntaun. Lovely little creatures, they are. Also saw a few "visitors." Yeah, those sort. Nobody up to no harm, they just wanted to blend and sample the Earth culture and a furry convention was the easiest place for a few to blend in.
The hotel itself was well-planned out with large rooms for the Artist Alley and the Dealer's Den and I think the lounge area was a wonderful addition. And of course the con suite itself was marvelous, although it was a bit detached from the con. Did everyone even know where it was? Food was great and the staff well-run!
Continuing on, I enjoyed meeting all of you, but I especially was pleased to run into myself. Apparently, this was such a fantastic convention that I decided to visit it again later on in my life. Mind you, I changed a bit. Got all scrawny and it seems I got professional with a bit of suit and tie. Doesn't beat a good warm scarf though...
Most of you know that a fire alarm interrupted the festivities Friday night at MFF. I originally thought it was an Ice Warrior, but my future self discovered it was actually a Pyrovile. Smart fellow. Entirely my influence, of course, he mustn't take any credit. So we put our heads together and... well, I'll explain later. Anyways, some fellows from something called Torchwood or something showed up (disguised as Papa John's pizza deliverymen no less!) and explained to everyone else that it was someone smoking in the hotel. Oh, well, more's the better, I don't think some humans could've handled the truth.
Later on, someone told us we should see 2. I thought to myself, oh boy, the clown in the checkered pants! Well, turns out it wasn't the past me I thought it was, but he was still a bit of a clown. Now, I'm not sure what he gave us, but boy, that drink was good and we ended up partying on the dance floor most of the night. Found out I just LOVE that Time Warp song!
Spent most of the rest of the con, recovering from that, leaving me with a fuzzy headache. Now I know why my future incarnation won't remember this half a dozen lives from now. Hangover, ow.
Either way, fantastically run convention. Next year was even better, but I'll let you guys find out for yourself. Spoilers and all.
Anyways, if you think you took any photos of us, please let me know.
Got a couple already, but I know there was a LOT taken!
