After being told a month ago that there was no way I could have the time off, my work randomly scheduled me a six-day weekend I didn't ask for. Airfare be damned, I wasn't about to spend a week sitting in my house moping about passing up this chance the Universe seemed to want me to have. Plus now I have an excuse to fill out one of these journal meme thingies, if for no other reason than to put something on my FA page.

Where are you staying?

At the Wyndham Grand. I found out I'd be able to go at the last possible minute, and they were the only hotel with rooms left. Thankfully, there's a shuttle this year, and failing that, I can use the exercise of a 3/4 mile walk anyway.

What day are you getting there?

I'm arriving Thursday afternoon.

How are you traveling?

Trapped in a huge metal tube hurtling through the sky!

Who are you rooming with?

My best friend from school whom I haven't seen in like a decade is driving out from DC to join me. He's not a furry (Brony though), and I'm looking forward to traumatizing him showing him around at his first furcon.

Who will you hang out with during the convention?

My friend, Yupo, and anyone who will hang out with me. I tend to stand around being lonely, but it's not because I don't want to hang out, so if you see me, feel free to grab me and drag me along with you.

How is the best way to find you?

I dunno lol. Try the contacts on my page, or note me for my phone number.

Are there any panels you might be attending?

Several. Anything with Kage and/or 2, Kyell Gold's reading, FoxAmoore's concert, and the Brony panel to name a few.

What do you look like?

Tallish, chunky, longish auburn hair, glasses, tends to wear a lot of black including my tail.

Will you be suiting?

Nope. Maybe some day...

Do you do free art?

Sure, why not? I'm also offering free brain surgery, at which I'm equally qualified. If you're interested in the former, you could benefit from the latter.

Do you do trades?

I'll trade you a misplaced sense of entitlement for a thimble full of pure unadulterated ennui. The entitlement is in near-mint condition, and I'm pretty sure whoever misplaced it isn't coming back any time soon...

What is your gender?

Gender is a social construct that doesn't really resonate with me. Penis exists between keyboard and chair, if that's the answer you're looking for.

How tall are you?

6'2"

Can I talk to you?

Making awkward conversation with random strangers is the high point of my day. That sounds like sarcasm, but it's not. Seriously, I'd love to chat.

Can I touch you?

You can hug me and love me and call me George if you really want to.

How can I find you?

Didn't you already ask that?

Can I visit your room?

I can't imagine why you'd want to...

Can I buy you drinks?

I'm rather picky in that department. Best to ask first.

Can I give you stuff?

I am not averse to the receipt of stuff.

Are you nice?

I'd like to think so.

How long are you going?

Thursday evening through Monday afternoon. I don't know what I'm gonna do on Monday, but my flight doesn't leave until the evening, so I guess I'll be homeless in Pitsburgh for a day...

Will you be going to parties?

I dunno. I've never done that before, but then, I've never flown across the country to attend a furry convention before, so who knows...

Will you be performing?

Depends on whether anyone takes me up on that brain surgery offer.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?

I respond to "hey you!" and any/all failed attempts to pronounce my name.

Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?

Probably wandering aimlessly.

What/where will you be eating?

I want to go to Furnando's at least once. Other than that, I have no idea.

Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?

Can I come with you?

Can I take your picture?

No idea why you'd want to, but it amuses me when I show up in photos, so feel free.

What's your goal(s) for the con this year?

Fulfill an age-old dream of experiencing the world's largest furcon, see my BFF for the first time in years, possibly turn said friend to the dark fur side, have fun, see stuff, meet people (including some authors/artists whose work I enjoy).
