To me this was the Best MFF ever….and I know we always say that after every con. But it was the very 1st time I gone all 3 days and have the sore muscles to prove it.
Despite the record crowd things went incredibly smoothly. Except for 2 things that Confederate Flag fursuit, which promoted a lot of talk on social media. And sadly a joke that in my opinion security even though made a noticeable presence at the con kinda overreacted. It seemed this one fursuiter had a bundle of PLUSH TNT strapped to their tail. In short they got banned. Okay given the times we know find ourselves in I agree it was bad taste. But to get banned?!! I feel that security should of quietly talked to the fursuiter and maybe taking it. But getting banned was a bit harsh.
The Hyatt put a lot of effort into making this a great con, with their check in staff wearing furry head pieces with ears and creating that mascot. They really love us furries and I noticed the 20% discount on my check in their restaurant while I was there. Way to go Hyatt Regency O’Hare.
There was a HUGE improvement in cellphone service. Rarely I heard a complaint of not getting a signal, unlike previous years. If you had an older 3G phone like me, there was some issues…but all very minor.
I could go on and on over everything I saw. But I be giving myself a case of post con depression if I did.
Love Midwest FurFest and the staff and volunteers did a fantastic job!!!
2 paws way up!!!
