30th Furry Con! (Furnal Equinox 2024)
a year ago
UNSPOILED BY PROGRESS
Yes, that's right! Furnal Equinox will be my 30th furry convention. I started with C-ACE in 2002.
Where are you staying?
In the con hotel with
amarafox (Robin),
teddog and
mudgeon (Dronon.) Oh, such flagrant whimsies shall we perpetrate! So many puns!
Means of transportation?
The Mousemobile carries me to Toronto, and my own paws wobble me about the conspace.
Gender:
Dad.
How old are you?
I was born during the waning months of the Nixon administration!
How tall are you?
185 cm.
What languages do you speak?
Love, food, and English.
Have you been to any other furry conventions before?
29 prior furry cons!
Have you been to Toronto before?
Worked and schooled there, so yes.
Main reason for going:
To celebrate the culmination of a half-century with like-minded wanderers, and to mark the nativity of the Order of the Hey-Horn.
Are you doing anything for the convention?
I edited some stuff in advance of the con. But for the con itself? Sweet. Fanny. Adams.
Will you be dressed for the Con theme?
I've been told I resemble a sunken wreck or particularly squat U-Boat.
Will you have a themed badge?
No, though one might be acquired.
What panels will you be attending?
Furry History, likely.
Are you in any panels?
I am my own walking panel. I have approximate knowledge of all things.
What are you bringing to the convention?
Film cameras, free zines, myself, the usual.
Do you have a fursuit?
Not according to those elitists at Furtrack! Who says fingerpuppets don't count?! Aside from everyone?
Are you selling anything at the convention?
If you want to pay me to take photos of you, I will. You can also pay me to listen to you.
Do you do free art?
TANSTAAFL
Do you do trades?
What would you give me for this 49 year old Canadian? As is, runs, frame damage and needs some new filters.
Do you do commissions?
No. But see comment above about selling things at the convention.
Can I talk to you?
Yeah, if I wanna listen.
Can I buy you lots of drinks?
Are you trying to get me drunk?
Do you smoke?
Not tobacco.
Can I take your picture?
Okay, but give it back.
Can I hug or snuggle you?
"Can," yes. "May you" is contextually dependent.
Are you nice?
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be...' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Can I buy you food and/or eat with you?
Both are contextually dependent. I like food.
Can I give you presents?
Of course. But you seem suspiciously friendly, what with the drinks and snugs and food... what's your end game here? Are you some furry Lothario?
Can I invite you to parties?
I knew it. You're trying to seduce me.
How can I get your attention?
I'm talking to you right NOW, aren't I? Weirdo.
What are you most looking forward to?
Four days and nights of existing in a pure timeless space of non-ironic enjoyment in the midst of winter.
How can I find you?
The usual method is to say my name into a mirror in a darkroom.
