Midwest FurFest 2009 Pictures

[giza]

Okay, I uploaded all of my pictures form Midwest FurFest. Okay, let's get the link to all of the pics out of the way: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmuth/sets/72157622889526042/. And now, pictures that I found especially interesting!

First picture is from the Method 1 Live show. Since the hosts couldn't have beer in con space, they instead reviewed Drank Beverage. Along the way, they also decided it would be a good idea to drink Brawndo, and even mix them in the same glass and drink the olive oil-colored concoction. That didn't end so well, as this picture tries to illustrate:




One Standard Issue Furpile that happened Sunday night outside of the dance:




And some actual huskies, who were part of last year's charity, came by to be trained for working with large crowds:




The first Steampunk fursuit that I recall seeing at a furry convention:




This Beast fursuit--or combination of fursuit and face paint, rather, was pretty cool. The first time I've seen someone do something like that, too:




Poor Raptor Red!



Want the rest of my pictures? They're at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmuth/sets/72157622889526042/. Have fun!

Actually, they were part of Last years charity, they came to have the dogs do training for crowded situations as part of their therapy work.

Fixed. Thanks.

"Poor" Raptor Red? More like "lucky" raptor ;) Though those two should get a room.

Have you heard of Nakamacon?

[giza.livejournal.com]

I have not. Looks pretty interesting, though!

Duuuuude. America is such a strange place. :P

You're just now figuring this out? (j/k!)

Sometimes I wonder if Rod Serling himself wrote our existence.

Another con-goer said on his LJ that the con was dry on order of the hotel, and went on to say that rumour had it this might lead to choosing a different hotel for the future.

Define "dry". The hotel simply didn't want booze in public areas. That's hardly unique to MFF, or even furry cons in general, for that matter. Often the underlying reason is either corkage or union concerns.

There will be a different hotel next year, the Hyatt Regency O'Hare: http://www.furfest.org/hotel-info

I'm surprised you didn't see the steampunk ones at Anthrocon. From what I recall, there were three of them there.

I was about to say...I remeber a few from AC myself. Poor Giza probably has tunnel vision during AC though.
