Anthrocon 2025
a month ago
Finally got my photos and videos uploaded. I know I'm a bad procrastinator. I never even wrote a con report. Well here's a quick one:
Ben and I planned an extended trip of two days so we could explore some places on the way there and back.
On the way there we visited the Appalachian Trail Museum. A cool place with artifacts and history of the trails and those who trailblazed it.
I brought a peach and a potato cause I always wanted a photo of Ben standing on the trail holding one in each paw.
We visited Centralia. Ben had been there before but it was new to me. The abandoned town looks stark and amazing. I'd recommend it for any author or artist looking for inspiration for a post-apocalyptic or ghost town vibe.
Anthrocon was great.
I got to spend time with my friend Erin, finally met her boyfriend (what is the term for a non-binary lover?) Myth Wolfe.
I attended Nighteyes Dayspring's reading for his latest book, The Blood of Life.
I spent way, way too much money in the Dealers' Room.
I spent a lot of time working the Artist Alley and ConStore and chilling with other Staff. What can I say, I'm a helpful wolf.
Chatted with Chrysmuu and helped her with a pineapple problem.
I got to try a new drink, Loganberry soda, thanks to Kokuei.
The Westin's sauna and steam room were locked, again. Very annoying.
Attended Siris Vulpecula's Alterhuman panel. I actually learned a few things. Our community has come a long way from the old AHWW days.
Got to see some new faces and some old faces.
Ben and I drove back east, visiting Penn's Cave and Wildlife Park. I'd seen the brochures for them at every rest stop and...it was worth it.
The Cave is an underground cavern and lake with a boat tour. Seriously, it was like being in the Batcave or D&D Dwarven community.
The Wildlife Park was a series of enclosures we drove through on a tour bus. Saw some wolves and foxes which is always cool.
We stopped at Bushkill Falls. A ravine with a fuckton of waterfalls. There's trails and walkways around it, kinda like The Flume in New Hampshire.
I had a nice hike but realized that if I sweat like crazy I need somewhere to hold my phone that isn't my shirt or pants pocket. Gonna get a belt pouch.
We also hit up the Boyer outlet for candy. It mostly survived the trip back, but next year I'll bring a separate cooler for the chocolate.
All in all, a great trip.
Since they aren't really furry related, I uploaded the park and hiking photos to deviantArt: link.

I'm glad to hear you had a good time and got to see many nice places too. I enjoyed the photos you shared!
Also, for your question about the term used for a non-binary lover it can just be "partner" as a catch-all word. However, it depends on the individual and the words they're comfortable with. I am non-binary and don't mind when in past relationships of mine I have been referred to as someone's "boyfriend", but I don't like being referred to as "girlfriend" for example.
