I spent December 5th-7th at MidWest FurFest, held in the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, IL. It was another well-run convention that I had a good time attending (and staffing).
Friday
In addition to walking around the convention and seeing friends, I dropped in on Eosfoxx's "How To Draw Animals" panel. She went through detail on how to draw different kinds of animals, and how they differed from humans. Not having much of an art background myself, I actually found the panel rather informative. I came away from there better understanding the artistic process, at least when tablets are involved. 
Saturday
This was the big day with our Fursuit Parade. I got to help count the parade again, which is both fun and affords me an interesting view of the parade. The final count for number of fursuiters in the parade was 1,132.
The rest of the night involved hanging out with some friends until about 1 AM. Then the chlorine gas attack happened. I won't go into that here, seeing as I already wrote about that.
