To say the least Saturday was a very interesting day for me. In not a good way.

My day started with a panel on Irish music. It was really nice.

The Fursuit Parade for me started out okay. I found my spot, set up my tripod and camera and poof.

The parade happened and I had forgot to recharge the battery in my camera. I tried my cell, too much is a hurry and lets just say I didn’t record a thing.

Although the fursuits were fantastic

I am sure it was recorded by others

My bad luck with the Saberspark panels continued. Imagine arriving a bit early only to find out all the seats were taken and you got at least 30 standing.

The Streetpass panel was beyond delight. I finally gave away 2 things I consider junk. Also had about 64 hits to Streetpass. 3 puzzled completed and more than 1 shocked that Fur Cons attract Streetpass.

The Social Anxiety Panel helped, especially after the Furry Price is Right panel was cut short and my anxiety panel lasting only 30 minutes.

That just left the 85 Years of Convention History which was amazing.

It was full day and i was tired for some much needed rest.

Tomorrow will be my last report at the con, and more detailed reports soon after along with videos.

After finding out that the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis only has public wifi I am back on my laptop. Haha.

After having a rather nice breakfast over at the nearby Nicolette Cafe I braved for what Friday had to offer.

It began with A Sneak Peak at Furry Migration, my 1st panel

I have been to a few of these, but I swear they get funnier and funnier. They make fun of getting around the con as well as a point to have fun.

They did give US a surprise. Even though we were a half hour early, they let us in to The Opening Ceremony. Honest we got pick of the seats, I got in a great spot for my recording of it. I really recommend watching it. I swear it was so funny, they even made light of the upcoming election. Although I do have to make it a point that they didn’t take sides.

One thing I did learn, that since they were in a larger spot in the hotel. That the entire attendee for last year… some 2000 could sit with room to spare. What I saw was nearly every seat taken, with some standing. I believe they set a record, how big we have to wait for the Closing.

The Dealers Area was a good size when many unique items, they also had an adults only market. Oh My.

My Streetpass meet was a bust, no one came and I only got 10 Streetpass hits total that day. I think I know why, they confused my meet with the panel happening today. I am bringing 2 items to hopefully give away if the one running the panel agrees. We just have to see.

Meet the Guest of Honor panel was great, got to know a fursuit maker. A lot of insider stuff about both Avian Invasion and Saberspark. No Saberspark did not say he was a furry. Fun panel though.

The Dance later was great, a tea meet was informative, and a Furry Trivia panel where I am happy to say I did not come in last place. Had camera issues and uncertain if I will post that video

Room Parties later, like they say “What happens at a fur con, stays at the fur con”.

Lastly something I was not officially apart of that was their Friday scheduled Furwalk. I wanted to get it’s start, so many fursuits, so little time. Truthfully I would have loved to be apart of it. But because of the panels I wanted to see I really didn’t have the time. But I did get the opening,

Today I am taking the train to St. Paul then onto Furry Migration. I hope to get my badge sometime this evening. I will also do a special report later today with the full story posted tomorrow. Beyond that I am totally unsure. I know getting the train is pretty well set, but everything else. Well… your guess is just as good as mine.

From an X post

We are delighted to announce that a new conchair for 2025 has been voted in. Next year, Kellic will be passing the reins over to Rico Raccoon, whom you may recognize from his prior MNFurs Presidency. Congratulations to Rico, and thank you for all of your hard work Kellic!

My 1st real meet not only at a fur con, but my very 1st time hosting a Streetpass meet ever. For the record my 2nd Streetpass Meet Ever.

FM posted their schedule and now I can make this OFFICIAL my 3DS/ Streetpass meet will take place on Friday Sept 6 at 4PM in the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis in the hotel lobby by the fireplace

Plenty of seats and who knows.

If you need an exact location

Old map, but more or less it’s the same for FM. Near the Fireplace.

So why should you come, my only requirement is having something to swap Streetpass data. Modded or not 2DS or whatever it’s ok.

I got prizes: a Japanese model DSi minus power supply. BTW it uses a standard one. Firefox 64 for the 3DS in box not original cover. Plus games given away no hassle.

I just hope everyone has fun, this will be my 1st Furry Migration any tips given at the time will be welcomed.

In a few short weeks I will be at Furry Migration giving this convention as much coverage as I can. During my adventure I will be having a Streetpass Meet and hope to make around 10 videos if possible. The convention and it’s choices do present some unique problems for me…

The biggest for me is Reg being on the 2nd floor, and will I get there on time before it closes. I like a few others are taking the train The Borealis out of Chicago. The train is suppose to arrive around 7PM

Rumor has it the schedule should get posted sometime this week.

But I do have a plus I will be staying in the main hotel.

Everyone give a warm welcome to Avian Invasion as our second GOH for #FurryMigration 2024!

Previously a special guest, Avian Invasion is a talented DJ and producer coming back to FM to spread some funky beats and positive vibes!

MN Furs and Furry Migration is doing something that is so completely different than what we are use to it deserves special notice. They opened up FM Con Chair Nominations to the public. All you have to do is login and post your choice.

The one thing you notice if you have been to a lot of fur cons. The new one either served before, is on the board or is a member of the staff. Seriously it is very rare when they get someone from outside.

My job is to report not make any influence on choices, but now would be. But your choice has to actually live around Minneapolis / St. Paul area so I am definitively not a good pick.
