And here we go again! As you can see by the runtime this is a FAR more easily digestible video of the trip compared to the vlog, ha.

For the most part this is the same type of video I've made about VCF Midwest in previous years, but I tried to mix things up a wee bit by going over some of the prepwork for the show as well as giving a bit of a different take on the con itself. Not only because I really don't like making the same video every year, but also because I truly didn't get the chance to see as much stuff in detail this time. Which meant I didn't have as much to specifically talk about, in terms of individual exhibits and stuff. Besides, there's a bunch more of those hands-on demos and things in the in the vlog already.

So yeah! FINALLY! Other than a few lingering edits and additions to make to the final videos before they go live, the VCFMW 2023 videos are complete. And wow am I ready to get back to my regular LGR comfort zone. At least once I finally get over this danged virus, it has resurged this week and I'm now testing positive again, ugh... so it goes. At least I still have my voice this time and symptoms are quite mild.

I hope you enjoy this video of the convention, and thanks so much for your support during this month of silliness!
