7 Days and Counting to IFC

Here it is just 1 week to go, where I travel to, check in, see the Opening Ceremonies, and get Registered all on the same day. With the convention not actually starting to 7PM makes this all possible. Not to forget me leaving Furry Times HQ at 8AM doesn’t hurt either.

Like usual everything is planned out, and most of my supplies are packed up and ready to go. Including what I need for my 3DS Streetpass Meet, including a copy of Tetris!!!

IFC posting a map makes things a bit easier, and The Lounge (Sponsor Suite) is in an excellent location. So what are my own personal issues… it isn’t Greyhound… and I am sure furries will be on the same bus. No the biggest issue is the hotel. There are no maps anywhere showing locations of restaurants or let alone the front desk. I am still not quite sure of it’s exact spot, or let alone what the 1st floor lobby is going to be like. I swear this has to be the only Hyatt Regency with the same issue. Let alone what restaurants are there. I already have a clear idea what restaurants are in the neighborhood. Next to Fur Squared, I say excellent variety. I even found a alt place to have breakfast. I am an early bird and this being a local place. I am planning on hitting more than just 1

Does it sound like I will be doing Restaurant Reviews… Oh yes

Did you know that the State Capital Building is almost across the street. It sure is and I have no idea what will happen.

The biggest thing I predict Record Attendance, the old hotel had issues and I know I was only there once. That was 3 years ago, seeing the crowd move around things were close. I heard it was bad last year, so IFC had to move. I do think this new location is future proof, why there are within blocks of 2 convention centers

So what am I looking forward to… My Meet naturally and see how the con operates. They had issues 3 years ago… but at least they had the fursuit parade and I got a good story out of it. But Not this year.

Will be making more videos on my phone this year. But not everything…

Looks like we are both in for a wild ride….

Mephit Fur Meet: An Investigation

Ever since I heard Mephit Fur Meet lost it’s venue. I assumed it was because the hotel basically kicked the con to the curb. Until one staff member posted recently on social media that something happened to the hotel. Then I started digging and OH BROTHER

Furry Times Salutes Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton was not only one of my favorite singers, but so much as been said about her selfless work helping everyone. Sadly she is gone…

And my favorite song of her’s
