I was going to do a big long answer about my history with cons, going from Sci-Fi to anime to furry, but I think the best way to put it would be this:
2019 was my first Megaplex, and it was the same weekend as Anime Festival Orlando. Everyone I knew was at AFO while I was playing MP. I think there was ONE guy I knew from a couple local anime cons, but that was it.

Ever since then I've found a group of people I vibe with better and are enthusiastic about rocking out!
