It seems MFF has made a few changes to this year’s schedule. The biggest is the site that holds it. It’s now on Furrvent. Which is a site operated by furries to help furry conventions. I thank MFF for using a furry based business. The only downside Furrvent does not have an app.
As for the schedule and once you get to the new layout. You also are introduced to the 30 minute panel. Other cons have them and surprising they work very well.
Besides the usual MFF is going to have 2 Streetpass meets. I bet there are some of you who think at least 1 of these are mine. Then you would be wrong. I don’t do one at MFF for various reasons. If you been to one you understand why.
I will be dropping by both, if you have a 3DS and you get the message Streetpass Rules. It is from me.
The rest of the schedule is fairly standard. Also as of this I hadn’t gone through the whole thing.
A little warning there are a LOT OF MEETS. Please check the schedule to see which matches your interest.
You might have noticed this already, where cons have gone from a pre made badges to one made on site. To what happened at IFC and many larger cons. Have pre made card with all the important info. Then attach a label both with your status and fursona name.
Nobody really likes waiting and furries stuck in line frankly complain the most. Let me remind you the longest wait I ever hard at MFF was 7 hours. Although I have heard longer times like 12+ but could not confirm them. Frankly it’s just plain cheaper to have the badges pre made. A simple search can give you the costs.
Speaking of which did you know that an ID Badge Maker starts at $995. The last MFF they had at least 7 of these. You have to admit that is a lot of $$$.
A con can literally go broke. Like what happened at Capital City Fur Con. Now called Capital Con and believe me I wish them them the best and a really good accountant.
WE all know things are getting more and more expensive. Right now there is no price difference between a fast casual restaurant and McDonald’s It’s still going to cost you $15 for a burger and fries.
With cons getting bigger and bigger and bigger Yes I mean than 20,000+ at Anthrocon.
We honestly have to let things go. But lets not hope for what happened at Anime Midwest One Year. A paper badge, they did include a badge holder and laynard.
One day we are going to miss special times
