Got delayed out of the con because of a storm and got stuck in Houston on the way back for like 6 hours. Early 2000's Texas airports were weird. The Bush Jr. Propaganda on all the monitors was very creepy.
I don't know, actually. I lost track of a lot of people when they either stopped going online (as I have mostly for furry stuff) and/or going to the cons that I go to which is very few.
Yeah. I saw a friend I hadn't seen in a couple of years earlier this week and I kept having 'oh, what happened to them' moments. Especially for bay area furs that moved and I didn't know. They're all moving closer to you apparently ;-)
Goin on 15 for me. And I used to /live/ in Pittsburgh. My office was literally next door to the Convention Center.
For me it was like "Okay, I've been here done the thing, I'm an official furry now, bye."
Yeah, it just wasn't for me. Heck the only reason I go to MFF is just to hang out with far flung friends. I couldn't care less about the con itself really.
I mean honestly a lot of the fun was just being able to Fanboy over artists whose work I enjoyed over the years but besides that the biggest part of my enjoyment was just being able to travel, if I were to spend that much money again I would just go and see the city itself
Almost that long myself. Last time I went was 2006, 1st year in P'Burgh.. aka the year that the city Was. Not. Ready (stories of restaurants just dead-ass running out of food among others) and it warmed the cockles of my sappy-ass heart to hear that just a year later, they were better prepared. 😎
