Calling all artists
Hey there, Art Panel Director Emira here and I need some help. As many of you know, I'm the new director and I really want to do a good job this year by having plenty of interesting art panels. I'm especially looking for panelists to go along with our theme this year, but any and all are welcome. If you do digital or traditional, G-XXX, pencils, lines or color, even sculpting and other interesting crafts and want to show off your skills and help others learn, then contact me here by PM or at ji.stargazer@gmail.com.

Hotel Reservations?
Hey all, I've been considering coming back to MFM and getting a dealer's table to work the con, but I can't find any info on the hotel reservations. I know the con hotel fills up fast, but if it's already full, I'd prefer to know before I try and reserve a dealer's table. I really don't want to haul all my art stuff each day between the con hotel and the overflow. I saw the previous post to this community where Tyger said it would be a couple of weeks until hotel info was available, and that was back in November. Are there any more updates? This info would be really helpful, as I'm trying to nail down the cons I'll be working this year. Any updates are appreciated! | | Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011 | 9:00 pm

Hotel Rooms? When?
I decided I want to attend MFM 2012, but when I looked at the website, I see nothing about reserving a hotel room. When will hotel rooms be available to be reserved? I need to make sure I get a ground floor room to make it easier for Spectra in her powerchair to get around. | | Monday, October 24th, 2011 | 11:40 pm

Feel free to repost these photos here on LiveJournal, FA, your own website or anywhere else, just PLEASE give me credit for the photo and other photographers you borrow photos from too. It's the right thing to do!
And if there's any photo you don't want online for any reason, drop me a private FA/LJ message or at wildbilltx at geee mail dot com with the photo URL and I'll crop, blur your ugly mug out, or just delete the stupid picture.
Also check out my YouTube page for MFM 14 videos and from past MFM's @ http://www.youtube.com/user/wildbilltexas
Thanks to all the furs and fursuiters who posed gracefully and patently, and to the MFM staff for putting on another awesome convention!

MFM 2011
MFM 2011 Mephit Furmeet is an amazing convention experience. Sure, they're short on equipment and flashy fancy dances and such, but the con as a whole feels like a family reunion, without all the awkward, obligated affection. Emotions run so high at the convention... everything is so intense... I knew MFM was something special a couple years ago when I was addressed by one of the littlest convention attendees. MFM is known for the phrase "Welcome Home". However, this little girl gave me an alternate and much more inspirational phrase.... "You can play if you want to!" With that phrase, I was empowered to make the weekend and life in general what I wanted it to be. Over the past year, I have experienced a lot of changes, both internally and externally. Things were crazy for me. My life has been in a state of flux since January as I embarked on a "journey to self discovery" (tm). Through all the changes in outlooks, attitudes, and ways that I thought about things, I have forgotten what I was at one point. Coming back to MFM this year was a grounding point for me. It was the reality check that I needed. I needed to face old situations with a new mind. I am happy to say that this year was the best year for me at MFM ever. Never have I felt more welcome, accepted, and embraced. Whether it's the musicians, the tech crew (techies unite!), or just hanging out in the hotel room with my wonderful mate, Nova, I never felt out of place once this year. MFM is not a party, or a charity drive, or even really a convention. It's a celebration of togetherness, bonding, and unbridled acceptance of people. Read that again. Unbridled acceptance of people. It's not acceptance of gays, straights, whites, blacks, furries, mundanes, Christians, Atheists, or any combination of the above or omitted classifications. It's all about people being people with other people and having that connection, that bond with your fellow woman or man. "Welcome Home, You can play if you want to!" - Mephit Furmeet. I just want to give a "thank you" and a tip of the hat to everyone I interacted with this year. To my mate, to my roomies, to the staff, to the hotel crew, to the musicians in the corridor concert for the kitties, to my old friend from the gulf, and everyone else that I harrassed, Thank You. I can't wait to see ya'll again next year. PS: If you want the backstory on "You can play if you want to", it's here: http://mfm.livejournal.com/197252.html I still get a bit choked up when I remember that convention.

Videos!
Had a pretty good semi-drunken time. XD Anyway, here's some videos I took there. Got fursuit vids of the parade and games, as well as a couple other things. I apologize for the crappy camerawork though. Turning on the "steadycam" feature only seems to upgrade the quality from "Blair Witch" to "Cloverfield".

*waves a paw*
Just wanted to say "thank you!" to everyone who made MFM 2011 quite possibly the best weekend of my entire life. It's right up there on the list of best weekends ever. More importantly to me, I hope MFM 2011 was one of the best weekends of your entire life. It was an amazing and humbling experience to serve as your Guest of Honor this year, and I really hope that you had as great a time as I did. Whether you listened to me rap or play piano throughout the weekend, took some of my music home with you, dunked me into ice-cold water, got drunk with me, hung out with me as an entourage of awesomeness, hugged me in-suit or out-of-suit, or just said "hi" - your genuine warmth really means a lot to me, and I am very happy to be a part of "the best social network of friends around." $15,000 for Tiger Haven - tremendous!!! That's the most epic win of the weekend, in my opinion. :) I could go on and on here about how superb MFM was this year, but I won't bog you down with a wall of text here... instead, feel free to come to the Shop tonight, and I'll share the awesomeness with lots of details and yummy stuff! Plus, I'll replay and review our Saturday night concert that set a new standard for Wrecking Shop! Join us tonight at http://ustre.am/2xrx and in the #shopwreckers channel on Anthrochat IRC. We start up sometime between 8:30 pm and 9:00 pm Eastern time, and we wreck shop until I pass out. And just for the record, I'm already pre-registered and room-reserved for next year, so yeah. If I could pre-register for 2013, I would. There are furry cons, which I attend whenever I can, if I am able to. Then, there are what I call "kill-me cons", which you more-or-less have to kill me to keep me from being at. And then, there is home. MFM is home. | | Monday, September 5th, 2011 | 11:54 pm

Fursuit badge photos
If anyone wants their photos that I took, just ask. I don't usually post the fursuit badges anywhere so they'll just sit on the camera. Hmm, actually, I usually don't post any photos I take for that matter. (I'm a cat, too lazy to use photobucket) morphy at comcast dot net ...I'll have to think of some 'interesting' templates to use next time. You know, for when I get creative and start making badges like those rare Floor-con badges back in '09. (For those that got them, you know what I'm talking about) | | Friday, September 2nd, 2011 | 3:06 pm

Therianthropy meet & greet Friday 9PM, room 103
We'll be serving up therianthropy chat and home-killed eats tonight at 9PM in room 103. Animal spirituality folks and shamanic types are also welcome. If you identify as an animal on the inside, in a way that's more than just furry for fun, come on down and meet others of like mind. | | Wednesday, August 31st, 2011 | 9:52 pm

Last minute space begging
Does anyone have any free space for a needy fur? I'm willing to pay if anyone has crash space available in either hotel. | | Thursday, September 1st, 2011 | 6:14 am
