Apparently, I'm a Gateway Furry. While I'm not a very "big" furry in the fandom, (no fursuit, can't draw, only spend time in one room of one con) two people have come up to me recently and wanted to go to conventions but didn't want to go alone.

One is a very good friend in Toronto who wants to go to Furnal Equinox and would love for me to join him. I'm all for this, I just need a passport.

The other is a student worker at the college I work at. He's openly gay, so no worry about him being freaked out by all the bisexuality there. (What?...it could freak some people out....okay...okay...I was a little overwhelmed by it my first year. ) I am a little nervous about mixing my work with my fandom, but he seems like a good guy and I love the fandom so if he wants to be a part of it, then I want to encourage it.
