You heard right. I am making the pilgrimage to Toronto for FE this coming weekend. This will be my first con since the final Central Plains Fur Con held in 2015. It is also my first ever visit to Canada and my first time outside the US since 1977. This will undoubtedly be an experience to remember.

Call me crazy, but I will be driving all the way. According to Google Maps, it will take me about 18 hours to drive each way, not counting rest and fuel stops. But I enjoy a good road trip and am looking forward to listening to music and podcasts while I gaze at the scenery.

The CPFC was my only other con experience. I expect Furnal Equinox to be significantly larger. Fortunately, my good friend,  DaiCymru will be there to help me find my way around. Dai is good company and I look forward to meeting up with him again. I am also eager to meet a few furry friends whom I’ve only known online so far.

Besides the convention, I also plan to visit a couple other tourist attractions that Toronto has to offer.

So, if you are at FE and you see a large, friendly bear with a bewildered first-timer’s look on his face, that is probably me. Step up and say hi.
