Some info you may or may not care to hear about! :D

Are you attending Further Confusion?
Umm.. yes :)

Where are you staying?
Main Hotel - Marriot, Fursuit level, Room 702!

Who are you staying with?
 furryFoxfur,  Tillikum,  G4omon

Who are you travelling with?
Driving in my car with  G4omon from Vancouver, then flying out of Seattle.

When do you leave and depart?
Arriving via Alaska Air AS0320 on Thursday at 6:52am to 9:02am
Departing via Alaska Air AS0323 on Tuesday at 6:30am to 8:37am

Isn't that stupid early?
Yes. ... Yes. :(

Who are you hoping to hang around with?
Anyone! I'm particularly hoping to spend time with  FurryFoxFur and  tillikum and will likely be suiting with them a LOT! Also looking forward to spending time with squeaky friends  reinhardt and  ipequey as well as any other looners, and any other fursuiters who want to hang out :)

What will you be doing at the con?
Fursuiting a lot, I'm sure! I tend to wander around and find old friends, and hopefully new ones! I'll also be snapping photos with my Nikon D7000 and new Speedlight flash when I can.

Can I invite you to lunch or dinner?
Sure! I've had trouble making dinner plans stick, but I'd love to come if i can make it happen! I am just as happy to grab a quick meal nearby and hang out with people during it. I'm <kinda> trying to save money this con, so cheap meals are better for me. I eat a LOT of gyros from that awesome place close to the previous hotel, and I often munch on things from the local supermarkets.

Is your awesome girlfriend coming along with you?
*sniff* ... no. She can't make it this year. She's making me some awesome badges to take with me, though!

Does this mean I can have you for myself?
... Please no. :P I'm very happily involved, straight, and monogamous!

Can I talk to you?
Yes! I love meeting new people, and I am full of (useless) stories about dolphin training, fursuiting outside the fandom, whale research, balloons, photography, cars, drag racing, old school video games, RC Cars and AR Drones, and anything Apple or Computer related :)

Can I take your picture?
Yes! Ask for a pose and I'll try to give you ioco's best side! Ask me out of suit and I will probably wonder why you care to photograph me, but.. go ahead anyway :)

Can I hug ioco?
Sure! Anytime!

Can I snuggle ioco?
If I know you, and I feel like it, I might go along. The only thing that gets you guaranteed snuggles is if you give ioco a big, latex balloon :D Keep in mind, helium balloons are not allowed in the convention space, but the hotel is fine. Uninflated works too! Balloons make ioco smile a lot! :D

Can I touch you below the belt?
If you do, you'll be tasting fuzzy paw in the face pretty darn quick, followed by a sudden reintroduction to the floor.

Can I steal ioco back to my room for some seriously inappropriate, not work safe fun?
Sorry, ioco is 100% clean, and a blue and white tiger will likely claw your eyes out if you try too hard :)

Are you some kind of inflatophile?
No, not really.. common misconception. I do enjoy some inflatables made by Puffy Paws and other such people, but merely because I find the medium really cool and the items cute as heck. The only thing I am truly interested in are balloons.. big ones specifically. Just don't pop them around me, please!

Can I buy you a drink?
I don't think anyone ever actually has! I do not drink alcohol due to personal and medical reasons, but I will gladly enjoy a non-alcoholic drink while you have whatever you like. I mostly drink soda, unless you can find a Californian who knows how to make a good virgin Caesar... (fat chance!)

Do you smoke? Do you use "party enhancers"?
Nope, sorry. Hookah is an occasional indulgence but nothing much else.

Do you party at ALL?
I have a great deal of fun at parties and enjoy them greatly!


Shameless plug for my little balloon printing hobby:

Will you have any of those awesome printed balloons with you?
Yes! Feel free to ask me for a free 'business card' if you're interested in balloons, or if you wanna purchase any of my home-printed furry-themed balloons, I'm happy to sell them to you! They are $2 each for 24" balloons with the print of your choice (smiley dog, smiley cat, silly fox, or double paw print). Supplies are limited!

Can I order any balloons from you for delivery to the con?
If you want any of my existing prints, then yes! Just tell me the quantity! Sorry, but I cannot take any orders for custom artwork prints in time for the con.

Can I order any balloons with a custom print for AFTER the con?
Yes! This is a great time to order as I can purchase stock while at the con and bring it back with me. My balloon supplier, www.grandballoons.net, lives in the San Jose area and is happy to deliver un-printed balloons to me, or you, directly at the convention. They have an awesome selection!



If you have any questions at all, feel free to post them and I'll try to add them to this list!
