It’s hard to believe that Monday morning I was sitting in my hotel room, and by that evening I was in my home in Chicago and all of that by Uber and train.
Did Amtrak’s The Borealis effect Furry Migration? I would say yes in a way. I certainly noticed more furries heading back in the direction of Chicago than I did to St. Paul by about a 100. The train just gave people more options.
Furry Migration 2024 was fun, I fully admit I had a great time.
I have been to almost a dozen Opening Ceremonies but this was no doubt the funniest
I have never laughed so much at an opening ceremony than I did for that one.
Getting to have a seat 30 mins before anyone else was a huge bonus. That what happens when you go to Your first “FM” in this case.
Now for the elephant in the room Saberspark. Personal observation: he was so damn nice and the number who asked for his autograph I think even blew his mind. Everyone wanted to see him blasting horrible animated films. Which he did, filling to 2nd stage as well as the main stage to overflowing. No wonder FM asked him back. I swear he never spotted smiling.
The Meet the GOH panel was his as well as the others time to shine
We really learned what does it take to be a full time You Tuber and frankly I am not up for it. You want a good insider view of any of them watch the video.
My 3ds meet was a bust, nobody came. I am not trying to sound bitter. But I am not doing one again. Panels are a different matter.
I found the Retro Handhelds Panel disappointing, call it a misunderstanding on my part. I thought they meant the actual handheld not what it was playing ROMs on modern devices
Got to say the dancers are amazing and you all deserve to win.
Tea Time, I honestly learned more about tea in general
Furry Trivia
You were asked a series of questions and hoping not to come in dead last. My team we came in 4th of 8 teams.
A few things I learned from my trip, every major building has a place where ride share can use. Also use Uber or Grub hub app to order food it would have been way cheaper.
Food prices were high around $30 per meal. Ouch I know
More later
