Furmeet Recap
12 years ago
So, my first local furmeet. It was not bad!
There were about 10-12 people there. I pretty much sat off to the side and hid behind my mate and eavesdropped a lot, but adjusting to the general vibe of the group is an important step, I think. Some people came up and said hi to me; that was nice of them.
At some point, people were showing off and discussing their artwork. It really made me miss drawing. I really ought to pick that back up again.
There is something I find really inspiring about people who passionately show off their artwork, even (and especially) if they know/believe their skills are sub-professional. It takes a lot of courage to put something so close to your heart out there in the public eye, hence my list of submissions being so short. But when I see people who love and are proud of what they do, no matter how much they know they have to learn/practice, it makes me think maybe someday I can be brave enough to post some of my stuff too.
There's another meet this Saturday, this time at a private location. Maybe I can win some new friends with my baked goods?

Baked goods are usually welcome! (I don't have much in the way of skills there, but I often sweep by Walmart before a meet and grab a few reduced offerings.)
