Steed and Argos at MFF
Originally uploaded by Altivo
Milling about after the parade at MFF on Saturday. This is a tiny detail snipped from one of Dexcat's shots of the post parade gathering. See Dexcat.net for many more photos taken from above the scene. Extreme left here, from top: Argos (white wolf) and Steed ([livejournal.com profile] goldenstallion with Alaska flag.)

Con was good. I hope the staff will forgive me for saying it didn't last long enough. (That's a compliment, guys and gals.) Hugs and chatter exchanged with many, some new folks met, a few who were there and I'd have enjoyed seeing were missed somehow in the fray. Well, maybe not so surprising, since the final report shows just shy of 2000 attendees, $23K in sales at the art auction, and $15K raised and donated to the charity. I suppose there must have been a few "mundanes" staying in the hotel, but they were very much in the minority as we took over the entire place. Still waiting for the official fursuit count, but it was wonderful seeing so many suiters out and about the whole time we were there.

'Tivo's official rating: 4.5 apples out 5 possible. (Slightly faulted by flaws of physical location, parking, restaurant access. Highly rated for programming, hard working staff, and general congeniality.)


P.S. Just found some photos by T'Chall, nice too:

Yeah, [livejournal.com profile] goldenstallion lived up there for about 25 years before moving to Michigan, so this year's theme was a perfect fit.

Yep, the join between the pawgloves and sleeve wasn't finished yet.

No idea. That was weird, but the Sarah Palin costume was weirder. She carried around various toy guns and was "hunting" furries.

I liked it >;}

But yes the Sarah Palin thing would've been odd
