Volunteering At MFF 2023

I am going to Volunteer at MFF as I have done for the last 2. It’s fun and very rewarding as you get little perks for helping out. Like the White Lanyard volunteers wear. Gives them access to the Staff Lounge what’s there? I’ll report on that later.

Speaking of perks

This year our reward tiers are:

  • A badge lanyard exclusive to gophers (start of your first shift)
  • A winter-themed enamel pin (2 hours)
  • A winter-themed bandana, big enough for most fursuiters (5 hours)
  • The Iron Gopher enamel pin, a callback to our traditional reward for your excellence in helping the convention (8 hours)
  • A Gopher-branded MFF ushanka (11 hours)
  • Free Attendee-level badge for MFF 2024 (12 hours)

You might be asking what the fuck is a ushanka?

and they normally retail for around $30, getting an MFF one? Priceless

MFF 2023 Schedule

https://mff2023.sched.com/

So the schedule is up what’s the highlights..

Greymuzzle Meet, 1st time is a few years I like to add. This is a great place to hear fantastic stories of the early days of the fandom. Even if your under 30 you might want to attend

Friday December 1, 2023 12:30pm – 1:30pm CST
Hyatt – Rosemont C/D

I won’t mention the dances because a lot of people attend them

Historic Preservation in the Furry Fandom

I am a big fan of furry history and believe me. It is far better and frankly more exciting than actual history and it also can be strange. I will be at this one.

Friday December 1, 2023 2:00pm – 3:00pm CST
Convention Center – 1st Floor – 2-4

Fursuit Games

Laugh filled and pure fun

There are 2 incarnations of the fursuit games this year

Friday December 1, 2023 7:00pm – 8:30pm CST
Convention Center – 1st Floor – 1 & 14

Also Saturday at Noon same location

Frankly I haven’t quite figured out all that even I want to see.

If your a regular to MFF you might have noticed I didn’t mention Alkali and Whose Lion. Both aren’t happening this year, I hope to find out why during MFF.
