Whew. Less than one week remaining. Almost all my prints and artwork are completed, and I can stop being an art hermit like I have been all month long. Thank god for celebratory beers and all other awesome little things. I'll try not to burn myself out and take a couple days to rest prior to driving down.

I've already had a number of you texting/calling me hoping to hang out with me at the con, and you know who you are, which makes you awesome. There's more people I know going to RF this year than any other con I've been to, and I'm starting to get really excited :)

Who Will I likely see you with?
I'll be up to my usual shenanigans with those listed above, as well as some others from the Seattle and Portland crowd mainly.

Con Plans
Will mainly be running my dealer's table, but leaving after-hours open to take a break from art and chill. Going out to dinner, room parties, and most of the dances. Will probably attend some of the art jams in the evenings to mingle and catch up on table commissions.

How can I find you?
My dealer table! How convenient! :D
If I'm not around you could probably text me or msg me here on FA. I'll have international data so I'll try to make an effort to check up on things when I can. You can also bug any of those listed above and any other Vancouverites, they'll probably know where I'm hiding.

Do you do free art?
Probably not, with all the commissions I'll be taking at my table, but I can be bribed with booze, good company, or have random bouts of generosity. No guarantees though :)

Do you have prints/Cds?
Prints, yes. Oh yes, many many prints.
Too many to list, but a couple coyote pictures, otters, arcanines... I'll have a nice, big book on my table you can sort through. I tend to keep my prices on the lower end cuz you all rock.

Will you be going to parties?
As if you have to ask? ;)

Will you be performing?
Thanks for the offer, but I'm keeping sex to a minimum on this trip.
...oh wait. Oh.
That performing. No. No I will not.

Smoke?
More than likely. Only for special occasions. I can bring some clove cigars or any others down if you want me to, and I might share a hookah at some point during the trip.
And no, no weed. Apparently it's zero tolerance down there and I would like to visit the states in the future :P

Drink
Yes. The whole time. Assume I'm tipsy most of the trip. You guys have so many awesome beers down there. It's enough to drive a craft beer nut mad.

Gender
I am of the male variety. Definitely a man.

Can I hug you?
If I know you IRL and very well I'm cool with it. For all others, I'm fairly tall and fear I might crush you with my energy arms.
When in doubt, a welcome hug is fine. No clinging please. I'm not a Klingon. Star Trek is silly. Flame war commence.

Can I talk to you?
Be my guest. I'm very chatty and have no problem meeting with others.
Do keep in mind that there will be times at my table where I'll be swamped with work, talking to clients, or in 'blah' mode. If I seem a bit uninterested or distant, it's 99% of the time me being in art mode, so don't take any offense to it. Just come back later or see me after hours.

Will you be at any panels?
Maybe. I still haven't looked at what the line up is for this year. I usually go to the art jams, or life drawing, or some gaming events here and there.

Can I touch you?
Uh... probably not. I grinds me gears enough seeing super intimate displays of affection, so I will probably be firm and tell you off :P

Can I buy you drinks?
Please do. You might become my new best friend. Bonus points if you know your beers and wines.

How old are you?
Old enough.

Can I snuggle with you?
If I draw a picture of it, does that count?

If you're pissed off, should I approach you?
For kicks, maybe. Otherwise I'll let your common sense prevail.

Are you nice?
I like to think of myself as O.o
That's a big question.

Single or Taken?
My current lovers are my bicycle, beer, and video games. It's a complicated poly relationship, but they've always loved me even in my worst times.
..Otherwise single.

Cliquey?
Maybe a little? I'm very sociable, but it's hard to hang out with everyone I'm hoping to meet at these cons. If you approach me and ask chances are I'll hang out.

How tall?
6'1"

Can I Take pictures of you?
Probably not, unless I know you, or are at a room party or something off the main area. I'm no fursuiter, so I don't have the luxury of hiding myself off while doing business.

Will you get anything commissioned?
Maybe. I usually get a badge or a single art piece while I'm there. I don't have too much time to browse the dealer's den during my breaks, so whatever stands out at the time.

How can I get your attention?
By placing sacrifices/gifts/random things at my table, otherwise a simple "Hey Dave" will do.

Can I ask you to dance at the raves?
Sure, but I'll already be at most of them anyways :P I love to dance.


LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL THERE! :D
