There it is and 100% official

Attendance jumped by over 2,000

and see that fursuit parade number that beats what Anthrocon attendance from 2007, as well as beats what most cons get

I know there has been talk of where the new furries are coming from. But both AC and FWA where both saw a significant increase in numbers. I think we have our answer, I have no doubt that MFF will beat that number, the only question is by how much.

Let me give you a little insider info.

There are already hotels in the Rosemont area that are booked solid for MFF, and yes I know it’s July 8th. The same thing happened at AC, but I heard when they opened the hotel block. That those were the only rooms available at that hotel, the rest were booked solid.

It’s like I have always said, booking your own room ahead of time, is the only way you guarantee that you actually have a room.

One more thing… AirBnBs sold out at AC before the event. MFF they are available, at least the last time I checked.

You know this will only get worse as time marches on.

CBS reported on the total mess that was Anthrocon Thursday was

Crazy line times, like this one woman waiting 8 1/2 hours and still not getting their badge.

I know everyone wants to get their badge ASAP. But all these excessive wait times are not good for anyone. Personally I would have gone back the next day.

HUGS to everyone who did
