Bjorn's Fabulous "Viva Las Anthrocon" Meme
15 years ago
General
Alright, so AC is fast approaching. While I originally planned on attending, I decided to back out shortly after my mother died. I thought it would be a bit too soon and at that time attending a furry con was the furthest thing from my mind.
About a month ago I reconsidered going since I felt I wanted to be with friends and treat myself to something positive. I checked the airfares to Pittsburgh and found that they were priced far beyond reason.
The end result of all this is I won't be attending Anthrocon this year. Although it will be harder for me to go next year since AC borders the July 4th weekend, I'll still make every effort to attend. However, I decided to gift myself a reasonable alternative to AC this year. I thought I'd share it AC meme style with you all. Enjoy!
=====================================
• Where are you staying?
Paris, Las Vegas
• What day are you getting there?
Friday, June 25, Sometime around 9-ish.
• Who will you be rooming with?
Nobody you know.
• What is your gender?
Male
• How old are you?
44
• Can I talk to you?
Sure can!
• Can I touch you?
I'm not really sure I want anyone in Vegas touching me, and no, I won't be going to those places!
• Are you friendly?
I do my best.
• Can I hang out with you?
Since most of the people reading this will be in Pittsburgh and the others will be in their respective states, provinces or countries, I doubt "hanging out" will be happening. There's a chance I might log in briefly, but I think my time's going to be pretty well eaten up there.
• Do you do free art?
I'll just be trying to perfect the art of not losing all my cash.
• Will you take commissions?
Sure! I'll probably need to in order to bankroll this expedition.
• How can I find you?
Probably at the hotel hanging out at the pool. I'll hit up a show Saturday night and spend the rest of the time at either the Bellagio or Ceasars card room or at the Rio railing the PLO Hi-Lo Split or NLHE WSOP prelim tourneys.
• Can I buy you drinks?
What a silly question. ;)
• Can I buy you food?
Oh hell yeahs!
• Can I give you money?
Please! Better than hitting up the mob for a loan while I'm there!

I have learned from many a film if a guy dressed in a tux saying he's James Bond...just walk away from the table. You'll be glad you did *grins*. :) Have a fun time in LasVegas...I'll be in Maine still. :)

I still say Goldfinger had the best solution for Bond, he just wussed out though.

Don't think of it as "food poisoning"! Think of it as "weight loss"!!
