Rogue reporter at AC - Saturday 11:30
14 years ago
Well, 
hallan noted I tried to chase down a rogue reporter. I thought it good form to journal it.
Just as a heads up, this is not a truly finished story, er, one with no nice closure. But people were curious so I'm writing it.
I routinely strike up conversations with mundanes when I see them. A friend of mine on Saturday at about 11:30 at night were talking to four nice looking ladies... with tape recorders. Really, the devices they had weren't phones, they seemed to just be tapes. I talked in an ear a bit away from the reporters, I asked who they were, my friend said they were from a local radio show. I asked my friend where was the staff escort, there was none. Then my friend reassured me they were very careful with their words, I said that we didn't know them and the staff doesn't know they're here, they could just make up their own material and put our face on it. I told my friend I'm getting staff, don't feel bad if something happens.
Well, in my late night and four beers of wisdom, I went past the Dorsai guiding people into the elevator saying nothing, went to my room on my original mission to get something, then 10 or 15 minutes later went back. Golly gee, they all moved on. I tried running around the area to find them, this was the Westin hotel proper, failed, then I reported it to con ops. They said that they did have trouble with ghosts and mundanes sneaking into the dance because a radio show offered prizes to anyone who could get a picture with 3 or more fursuits.
I don't think the ones I was chasing was the same radio show as the one who offered that prize. Later next afternoon I followed up on the trouble ticket, nothing happened. I tried to follow up with that friend who talked to them, followed two leads, but didn't find anything conclusive. They reassured me it was a "good" radio show that defended furs on their show, but this information got to my ears more than third hand. I don't have the ID of the show, that's what I was trying to track down but I couldn't find the persons.
So anyway... I tried. Anybody know about this? Any stories at all, either radio show or ones not mentioned here :)
