Here I am with everything all set for Indy Fur Con which starts in 12 days, and I can’t believe what I am seeing from this convention. The schedule even though is up is basically incomplete. No rooms listed and several Panels their is no description what they are.
I will bet the the $11 I have set aside in this one app, that the title of my 1st article there will be “IFC Where in the World is Registration?”. Surprising enough it is the only one listed.
As for the Fursuit Parade route? Nothing and you see why that is important when you look at the map. It’s for an older event but it does give you an idea where things are.
Call me OCD or a perfectionist I like some idea where I am going to set up my camera.
Let alone The Sponsor’s Dinner, no time or location
Now get this according to this one IFC group I joined on Telegram, this is normal for them. I hope they are better organized when the convention is actually running.
I am curious what will happen during the actual con.
UPDATE: Applications for Artist Alley started today
Here I am with everything well planned, I know how I am going to get there. I know roughly where I am going to eat and I anxious to go. But yet there are way more unknowns then I feel comfortable to even mentioning. As I said before I have never been to Wyndham Indianapolis West, this is the 1st IFC held at this hotel. They may have posted their schedule https://indyfurcon2023.sched.com/ and I know roughly what I am going to do “Yeah Fursuit Parade!!!”
But I can’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by all of this, there are just too many knowns. Ok I also feel a bit nervous. My 1st fur con outside of MFF, ones I hope to continue to do. Going to some place different every year. Why is simple, A Promise made to myself for surviving the pandemic, and as long as I can afford to go why not. Although I know it will take me months to pay this off.
I am not wealthy, just your average furry trying to survive.
As weird as this sounds, over the last few years MFF seemed to lost something I really can’t describe very well. As the con got bigger and bigger, the charm seem to have diminished. Something as simple as a hug from a fursuiter in the lobby of the hotel is gone. It’s just too crowded.
Take last year when this fursuiter gave away donuts
This may not look so bad, but the rest of the floor was packed, it was ridiculous how crowded it was. No fursuit parade, con suite gone, being able to catch your breath.
Mind you I am still going to MFF this year. But things had to change for me, I use to commute, now even I got a room. Due to some advice I received, amazing I got fans every where. I get it Hotel to Dealer’s area in the next video. I need to go early like around 8AM or even earlier to get the photos/ videos I want to take. That’s when the more famous YouTubers do theirs. Crazy I know.
But like I said things have changed. I just have to see how things go, the same at IFC. If you checked out the schedule you will notice it doesn’t list what rooms the panels are scheduled for or let alone what route the fursuit parade will take. I am recording it and will post it on YT. I bought myself a tripod just for this video, or let alone when the Sponsor’s Dinner will take place… more on that later.
Both Opening and Closing Ceremonies are possible.
Beyond that it is hard to say, there will be a YouTube short on Day 1, still plan on 10 videos.
Since it’s in a little over a month away, I might as well make it official I am going to Indy Fur Con. I got my room and badge set, plans have been made for coverage… This is going to be interesting.
IFC is in a a brand new hotel, their overflow hotel is literally right next door, there is a Waffle House a few blocks away. So it’s going to be interesting for all of us.
Some might ask Do I have a roommate? The answer is no, and the reason why is simple I am a bit fussy when it come to things and I don’t want any drama… so I will be alone.
I am going cover everything from transport, hotel and even available food… nothing will be left out.
Also I will be making videos and hope to use the hotel’s wifi to get them posted faster. It is going to feel like you are there.
So far Indy Fur Con has not posted on their social media that Reg is Officially open along with the Room Block.
Here is the reason for the HUGE Update. I am going to Indy Fur Con, and will fully cover the event that had only 3 2022 videos. My room is all set, I am planning to stay by myself, and I am in the main hotel. So all it will be for me is an elevator ride and I am in. I am keeping what level badge I have is secret for now. But only who is reading this will know I did this for Cassidy Civet. I know that sounds strange going to a con that kicked them off as GoH. But I really want to find out what happened.
Another thing this is also my 1st con outside of MFF. So there is a lot of unknowns for me. I am like anyone traveling to a con they never been. I will cover a lot of this in detail, including the panels, events and the extras I hope to get into as well as a lot of videos. I am planning for at least 10, if not more.
I am hoping to do things you can no longer do at MFF due to it’s size. Interact with fursuiters, more hugs, etc. MFF is just too big
It was interesting to see what cons might do for that day of pranks.
Brasil Fur Fest did this

Meanwhile Indy Fur Con took a more fishy theme
Ahoy there, mateys! We are excited to make a bold new announcement! While once we were a place to celebrate all manner of creatures sky and land, we have decided to rebrand & focus our love on the creatures of the sea!
I know there are some of you who like collecting everything they can from a particular con. But let me remind all of you fur cons often have items you only get if you volunteer enough hours.
