Hullo, Heather! I was looking for a link to your Picarto channel in your Journals as I couldn't find it listed within your stream announcement posted back at the end of October, but your present Journal answered the question in readiness I was going to ask you in a Note or post on Twitter had I not found it here.

Would I be correct, then, that you make a point of attending Furnal Equinox most years, if not all of them as an artist and guest? I haven't attended a convention since 2006 and my final Ad Astra that year, and if you or Diana have any recall of me IRL- I know it's been a while since we've spoken in person- the event that led me to stop attending conventions up until very recently would've happened after the last time we'd spoken directly.

That said, I have managed to gird my nerve and readied myself to start attending conventions again, or at least allow next year's FE 2024 here in Toronto to be my novel renewal of attendance and at least a good, hearty trial run. I have a spare Bamboo tablet I'll be bringing with me- I've been drawing mainly with a computer tablet, my 2005-model Intous 3, since the beginning of 2020- and a refurbished but reasonably beefy laptop computer that a veteran friend in local Torfur fandom is arranging for me sometime in the near future.

I know my lovely starcat  JenoraFeuer will be there and I've let her know my plans a while back since, and I wanted to ask you if you're planning on attending Furnal Equinox 2024 as well, Heather, if you know well enough in advance now and I can ask it of you by-your-leave.

Good to be in touch with you, good chummer, and my best to you and yours in the meantime!

Yup, I should be at Furnal Equinox assuming I get a dealers table. I hope you enjoy it.

Hullo, Heather, and good to see you today! Then I'll look forward to seeing you if we're both in attendance and meet there; I won't swamp you with stories to catch up in that format, at least not while you're trying to work and do business there, but I will make sure to stop by and touch base, as I have missed seeing you and so many good friends I haven't seen in person for more than 15 years.

I will have to pick which of my four Ennead T-Shirts with your silkscreened drawings upon I'm going to wear to the convention. Assuming it's all three days like Ad Astra was, I can take my pick per day; good old Uncle Anpu-Ra has been Twopaw's Old Wiseman for a while, but I've felt far closer to the First Lioness and her younger sister who Sekhmet alone trusts, Bastet, Wisest Midwife, in my drawing and writing work recently, so they both will get proper attention in my T-Shirt of the day.
