To have fun and know peopel? ;)

aargh! Tales of earthsea! I want to see that movie!

SO DO I!!!!!!!

Eh, I'm feeling a little better now . . . someone very dear to me just gave me a bit of cheering up. I can't help but be stressed now, though.

Heheh that's good to know :)

*checks the schedule* They are showing Paprika too?! aaargh! *faints-

;)

*shrugs blankly* No idea what that is.

=P is an animated movie from Satoshi Kon. I love his movies ^^

it's a twisted movie. Paprika is, all upside down.

I'm a vet of MFF. If you need some help with questions, my aim is bruinontherun. I'm at work so I can be a little slow to respond but I'll help with what I can

I don't have AIM, but would you mind if I sent you a list of questions here? You could respond as you have time then. :/ it would help immensely.

Tales from EarthSea? The crappy thing the Sci-Fi put together, or another?

I'm hoping they are meaning the Studio Ghibli one. If it's the other one, then there's officially nothing I have an interest in. *chuckles*

well it says that they are showcasing animated movies and shorts

sorry not ta be able ta attend there O' feisty feline with the lusty leonine locks... life's jus' been too hectic fer me ta get it t'gether in time ta attend... an it would'a been a much needed r'prieve fer me too after all I been (an still goin') through...

Think ya oughtta try an hook up with m'lil' sis  wyndsong though... m'pretty sure she's goin' an think it's her first con too... maybe you two can do the buddy-buddy system an have fun t'gether... :)

*hugs you tight* I know, I still very much wish you could go. You would have been a good dose of some much needed lunacy (HA!) in my life right now. :)

I'll look up your little sis though, at the very least I'd love to say hi. :)

<i>Someone want to tell me why I am going again?</i>

To find out what all the hubbub about furry cons is, that's why. Personally I figure that my yearly pilgrimage to AC is a display of latent masochism on my part, but that might just be me.

Here’s wishing that despite what looks like shameful disorganization on MFF's part (no information begin given out to the submitting artists, whether or not you have panels, and not making a simple courtesy acknowledgement of having received your check), what sounded like some very immature behavior on the part of your designated roommates, and just the general anxiety of travelling to an event that you've never gone to before, that you still have a good time.

Go with a positive attitude, Tensik. Go with the attitude of you are going to have a good time no matter what.

*lion hugs of sympathy and encouragement*

Hmph! So much for thinking that I could italicize that line. :(

Tickets to Chicago from TF Green are only $200, my friend . . . .

And they are giving out SOME information (though not on the panels granted), but a lot of it just assumes you know what happens at a con or that the basics is enough. Like artist's alley info, the description of what you get and what happens at sign-up assumes you've seen these things before. It's really discouraging. :(

Aww man, you're only con.. and all this happens.... just the way luck has it eh?

I'm so sorry. :(

I'll live. :) Monk and Fox keep telling me to just get out there and live it and have a good time, part of the bummer is now I'll have to work and not have much time for that. XD

You're going to try something new babe! :D I'll be thinking of ya if that makes you feel any better, though that's not a new thing...... Heaven forbid you should actually have some fun though- PLEASE try! :)

Im going to try, babe.

*kidnaps you and Red and Fox and drags you along*

Just make sure to buy some booze at the local liquorstore, and then spend your entire time, in your hotel room... listening to all these noisy furballs running up and down the hallways, acting like full grown children. pft.

An you could email MFF surely there has to be a email link somewhere on there website and say, i'm alias Tensik a (mean lion) who paid for panels, but this is my first furry convention and nobody got back to me yet? So do i have panels at MFF? DO I? DO I!?

An if not, say i wanna REFUND! ^^

cheers, and whatnot... hope ya have fun inspite of your stomach being twisted in a knot, and your chest burning from the heart burn of weariness.

I think I'm going to prep a couple of pieces to go and if my panels aren't there, I'll just sell them at Artist's Alley is all.

And I think that heartburn of weariness. is just old pizza.

Sounds like your replies are in a better mood than when you wrote the journal in the first place. MFF is a pretty fun con. It's really not all that stressful.

The artist's alley is changing this year as for signups, so even us 'vets' don't exactly know what to expect this year. As to what you 'get' it's basically just a chair and three feet of tablecloth covered table. Pretty basic. If you're going to do sketches/books/badges or whatnot, you'll want to make up a little price list or something, either printed out or with a cute sketch or something on it to draw interest. Also, bring small bills if at all possible, so you can make change. Furries tend to only have 20s from the atm.

Lastly, why not check out my panel? It's the watercolor one on Saturday afternoon at 3. It's going to be a pretty fundamental demonstration/description of technique, so it's not about copping someone's style or anything. (If you don't go to many panels, that's not a big deal... usually I don't go to any at cons anymore, especially if you've ever seen a similar thing before)

I actually thought of that one as it was basic instruction - which yes, that's the only type I would be interested in :) - except that I just don't have the room for a messy project like painting so it's not something I want to tempt myself to get into. You're right though, if I was to go to a panel it would be to something more like that.
