Overheard at the Furmeet

Furries talking about current events.

It seems on the day the Chicago Cubs clinched a spot in the National League playoffs, it’s rumored that season ticket holders are more than likely to let their tickets go for the $7,000 asking price as some have posted on ebay.

Having a chat with those who actually been to Rainfurrest, you hear something although I would say rumored may be the root cause for all the trouble there. It seems Rainfurrest was mismanaged, the staff having fun rather than doing it’s job. But the biggest news was it’s subtitle Fetish Con. Where all sorts of fetishes were talked about openly and frankly in the panels, and no one was checking the badges to see if anyone was underage. I was pacifically told, you rarely ever saw a staff member. Other than at Registration.

It seems Midwest Furfest has a Staff photographer and I had a chance to speak to him yesterday. The first thing I asked was about those seemly professional photographers and videographers you see in and around the con. To my surprise they don’t work for the con. Surprisingly enough they do it because they want to. It also seems what they shoot usually wind up on Reddit or other sites where you can post High Quality Video,

Now here is one of the biggest scoops I ever posted. It seems there are plans in the works, for this same staff photographer to post “Live” photos to Midwest Furfest Instagram account.

Also that all the hotels around the fur con are already booked solid for the 1st weekend in Dec. It also seems worth mentioning that more than a few on social media posted they were not going to go to Anthrocon, but instead got to MFF. By the way Anthrocon’s numbers still topped 6300.
