The only picture I've found of us so far...
Had a lot of fun and made some interesting friends. I think I want to take on the challenge of eventually getting a dealer's booth at that con. I'm nowhere near prepared for such a venue, especially since booth prices are five times as much as furry cons. One thing I plan to set up is a Tumblr account for posting merchandise pictures and such. I don't want to post stuff to DA because they have a retarded site layout, and FA submissions get lost in the flood of pr0n and MLP/Pokeymans bullshit. I'm pretty sure our weak point is marketing; nobody really 'knows' we exist... Anybody else use Tumblr? What's it like?
Fursuiting around Comicon was (once again) WAY more fun than any furry con I've ever been to. It has a completely different atmosphere any FC/AC/MFF. I almost want to say more mature and relaxed, and less serious-business-omg... I'm certain there's a darker underside to the community, but I've never been literally bombarded by people that want hugs and photos at a furry con. You can't take two steps without being stopped for pics. Stamina!!
Highlight of the day:
There was a little girl in the main convention area that was kind of afraid to come up and get a picture with me. She timidly came over, posed for her parents, and then turned to say, "You're comfortable."

PS: Semjay is a fast walker!
Don't worry about being awkward - you're competing against "Oh my god furries! *pounce*" so nothing shy of throwing a shoe at us is going to be an issue. (Did that even make sense? I'm not sure...)
It was fun tho and I do agree, you cant get to the place you are going without people stopping and taking pictures. :P
