PawFur/Pot O' Gold meme
13 years ago
Alright, as of this exact moment it looks like I'll be at the inaugural PawFur con/furmeet in Reno, NV on May 13th.
The plan at the moment is to head up the night before and play in one of the prelims for the Spring Pot O' Gold poker tournament the night before, then hit the con up the next day. Departure will probably be either that evening or very early the next morning since work will be grumpy if I don't show.
PawFur's a startup pre-con sorta thingy in Reno that's supporting the Nevada Humane Society and SPCA Nevada - both of whom I've worked with on rescues. If this one's a success, they'll shoot for a full-blown con the following year. You can read all about it here: http://www.pawfur.com/
The Pot O' Gold tournament appeals to my more degenerate nature. The buy-in's pretty low at $145 so I won't be out a ton. Once upon a time, this was a stop on the World Poker Tournament's schedule, but it's still a pretty large-scale event even without the WPT. I can't get a room the night before, but I have a killer tournament rate for my room on Sunday. Feel free to DM me if you're planning on going and I'll get you info on getting the same deal I got. :)
Of course, this all can go up in a puff of smoke and I could decide to pull the plug last minute depending on circumstances around the homestead. For now I'll plan on it though.
Anyway, since this is a meet that has some programming to it, I think it qualifies for one of those con meme dealybobos, so here's mine:
Where are you staying? Grand Sierra Resort on Sunday. Probably Harrahs on Saturday evening.
What day are you getting there/leaving? Con's only one day, so I'll be there Sunday.
Who will you be staying with? Dunno yet.
Do you do free art? I will attempt to be artistic the night before at my table in the Pot O' Gold tornament. :)
Do you do trades? I'll give you a bag of rocks and you give me a full, watercolor commission of my character dressed in flowing robes, looking heroic. Deal?
Do you do commissions? Nope
Do you do badges? Nyet
What is your gender? - male
How old are you? - 47
Are you taken? - Yup!
What suits will you have? It's the polar's turn in the rotation I believe.
Can I touch you? Welcome hugging's ok. Beyond that, you probably don't want to
Can I talk to you? That's what I'm there for!
Can I buy you lots of drinks? A capital idea my good boy!
Can I buy you food and/or eat meals with you? Yeppers!
Can I hug or snuggle with you? Hugs are awesome. See the touching thing a few questions above.
How tall are you? 5'11"
Are you nice? I think I'm at least 65% on the "nice" scale.
Are you cliquey? That would involve having friends.
Do you have an artist table? No, but hopefully I'll be at the final table the night before. :)
Do you like parties? Are we even going to have time to party at this thing? *headslaps* Stupid me, you're furries! Of course there'll be some sort of party!
If I see you, how should I get your attention? The large polar bear doctor is Hunt. If you see him, shout his name out. Out of suit just yell "Yo Bjorn!".
Can I hang out with you? I'm sure I'll be on the move a lot. On the other hand, there's not really a lot of places I can move to at this one. ;)
How can I find you? I'll be somewhere in the Nevada Foyer. If you're there the night before, come on out and sweat me at my tourney table. :)

Sometimes good things develop from small steps. Reno could be a fun place to hold a full-fledged con. It could also be a very dangerous place too. This will be a good test to see how something like this could fly. :)
