We have returned from our post-convention hiatus, tanned and well-rested (OK, not really), and we.re ready to go to work on making Midwest FurFest 2009 our best yet. Why, you ask? Because our theme this year is:
MIDWEST FURFEST 2009: TEN YEARS OF MIDWEST FURFEST!
We.re celebrating our tenth anniversary by bringing back some old and dear friends, talented folks we have been pleased to welcome as Guests of Honor since 2000: Robert & Margaret Carspecken, Rapid T. Rabbit, Derrick Dasenbrock, Jessica Willard, Ysengrin Blackpaw, D.C. Simpson, Thomas K. Dye, M.C.A. Hogarth, Dbruin, Ursula Vernon, ScribbleFox, Gene Breshears, Tincrash, Kenket, Whitefox, Jen “Spunky” Seng, Erika Leigh “Chilly” Rosengarten, Jill0r, Will Sanborn, Matt & Darcy Sowers, Lucky the Evil Dog, and Foxfeather Zenkova.
Today we are pleased to unveil the shiny new Midwest FurFest 2009 website at http://www.furfest.org. That.s not all, though! Starting today you can register online for the convention, including for our new Anniversary Level Sponsorship.
Also, starting today you can reserve your room at our main hotel, the Westin Chicago North Shore, or at our overflow hotel, the Hampton Inn and Suites Lincolnshire. Just like last year, there will be a shuttle running between the Hampton Inn and Suites and the Westin until 2 AM Friday through Sunday of the convention.
Check out our new site, post in our forums, and start getting ready for what.s going to a fantastic birthday party in November. We hope to see you there!
… Ten years?
Already?
*whimpers*
Holy Crap! Why wasn’t I informed?!?! (j/k)
Surprise! Now, we need three con book covers and T-shirt art by the end of the week. That’s not a problem, right? 😉
(And hey, smoke-scented artwork adorned with little bits of wet insulation is all teh rage these days…)
YAY!
Well I am excited about the whole thing really!
And holy monkey, I’ve been to all of them. That’s…kinda sad!
I can’t believe it’s been ten years…and that I was at the first one! XP
