Anthrocon Meme: Pars Secunda
12 years ago
Another AC meme because, eh, why not? It's not like I've uploaded anything else lately.
=======================
Where are you staying?
The Doubletree. You get cookies there.
What day are you getting there?
Independence Day. I'll be sure to look suitably irritated for the amusement of the locals.
How are you traveling?
Floo Powder (or more probably by car).
Who are you rooming with?
gilian, 
suunto, 
ratharn and his boyfriend, 
taggcrossroad and 
fendarrah.
Who will you hang out with during the convention?
Presumably the guys I'm rooming with, as well as anyone else who bumps into me and finds my company entertaining enough to want more.
How What is the best way to find you?
Hard to say, really; I've never been one for mobile phones or iPads so giving a number would be useless. I should still have internet access however, so feel free to through me a note on here.
Are there any panels you might be attending?
Depends on what they are. I'm not sure a programme has even been released yet.
What do you look like?
Reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, angled features, low-brow and, apparently, wearing a constantly irritated expression. I'm not really, my face just sticks that way.
Will you be suiting?
No.
Do you do free art?
If you're desperate enough to want my art than I'll be happy to do you a scrappy doodle in your sketch book or something. Certainly I wouldn't dream of charging you for it.
Do you do trades?
You Americans don't even haggle. How can one trade without some honest haggling?
Do you do badges?
See "Do you do free art?".
Do you do commissions?
No. As I said, I wouldn't dream of charging.
What is your gender?
XY.
How tall are you?
About 6'-ish.
Can I talk to you?
Of course, but I'm not exceedingly talkative at first and have difficulty maintaining eye-contact -- some ridiculous part of my brain keeps insisting that it's rude for some reason. But keep at it and I'll eventually warm up.
Can I touch you?
Keep it above the belt and make sure I know you're there, lest I freak out and utter a very British expletive.
Can I visit your room?
If I or someone else sharing it invites you, of course. I apologise in advance for the mess.
Can I buy you drinks?
I'm averse to people buying me things, drinks included, but if you insist then I won't stop you. I'll go by the traditional Japanese method of refusing twice.
Can I give you stuff?
As above.
Are you nice?
Everyone says something to that effect, yes. I'm just incredibly shy, awkward and sometimes rather oblivious. Those lucky chaps who can talk to people they've never met as though they went to kindergarten together? I'm not one of them.
How long are you going?
I'll be there until Sunday/Monday. Depends when Ratharn is leaving.
Do you have an artist table?
Good God no. Anthrocon is far too classy for the likes of me.
Will you be going to parties?
I'm really not a party person; I tend to stand awkwardly in the corner and wait for a time when it can be polite to leave. However if I'm feeling brave I may go and make an attempt at being sociable, especially if I've been drinking.
Will you be performing?
Depends how drunk I am. If I'm suitably merry, expect some singing. The tracklist includes "Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier", "Kelly's Irish Brigade", "Scarborough Fair", "Haul on the Bowline" and Pippin's song from the Return of the King.
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
The traditional approach is to say "Hello" and introduce oneself. But this is a convention, so feel free to wave, shout "Tol!" or yell "The Duchess of Cambridge just had a baby! It's a boy!" The last one would definitely get my attention.
Where will you be most of the time during the day?
God only knows. Expecting a lot of wandering.
What/where will you be eating?
Mostly pizza. I'll actually be giving vegetarianism a try while I'm in the States, unless I find myself in a steakhouse. Then all bets are off.
Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
If we've been acquainted, sure. The more the merrier.
Can I take your picture?
Ask first, please.
What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Avoiding getting lost.
