I know it happens to some and good or bad it happened to me on Saturday. Where you are having a good time and something you feel is off.

I even went for a walk to get a soda at a nearby Target and hoped that would help it didn’t.

My day at Furry Migration began with a panel on Irish Music. It was quite peaceful.

Then I had to get set up for the Fursuit Parade, got my camera and tripod all set and when it started my camera, it didn’t I had technical issues. Nothing serious, just something a new SD card and battery can fix. On top of that my phone gave me an error code. A reset fixed that, but it was the first time I ever had with my phone. So no video from me… But it was recorded by someone else.

A very special thanks to Iron Coyote for getting the parade at an angle I never thought of.

Wild fursuits, the gay pride ones were a real surprise.

Saberspark had his first panel talking about BAD animated films. I swear people lined up to get in that one during the parade.

That Photographer Panel was great. I learned so much about my own cameras and what it would take to get a better one that wouldn’t cost an arm and a spleen.

Yes mine is there, but I am not saying which one.

The schedule Streetpass Panel was beyond amazing. I got 72 hits during the entire con, and almost more than my 3DS could handle at one time. With almost no doubles. Strange enough I have been hearing about people buying the 3DS just for Streetpass

I will NEVER take anything away from the dancers they all deserved to win

But something strange happened happened around 7pm. Call it the weird luck of that day.

I had planned to go to Furry Price is Right, and record it. When I noticed it not only started early but ended just at 7:05pm

I wish I could tell you why, but no one I spoke with had an answer

Part 3 soon

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
