Further Confusion!
12 years ago
General
As a reminder, I will be at Further Confusion this coming weekend, which means if you need to contact me, don't expect a reply until late next week as I will either be preparing, at the con, or recovering. I will have SOME email access, but nothing that will allow me to do more than check, give quick replies, and get back to whatever I was doing. This is a 3000 mile trip for me, so I can't exactly access a lot of my stuff while I'm away.
Those of you attending the con, check out this map: http://www.furtherconfusion.org/201.....alers_map.html
I'm at table 34 between the FBA table and Foxena.
I will have badges, books, and other things to sell. If you've never met me I'm short, tubby, medium-length red hair, and I wear glasses.
There's the meme going around but all you really need to know are the following basics:
If you are nervous about meeting me, tell me. I will do everything I can to make it comfortable for you. Many people will attest that I am very good at helping most people over their nervousness.
My arms are scarred up and I usually try to cover them with armwarmers or long sleeves. If you catch a glimpse please don't make a huge deal out of it. I had a bad reaction to some sulfa antibiotics and my skin has not quite been the same since, so I scratch and scar easily. I'm a bit self conscious about it, so I'd rather not have it brought to my attention.
I do not drink alcohol on a casual basis and prefer to do it privately in my dwelling when I do, which means that you probably won't be able to take me for drinks or a bawdy room party where people are drinking. And if you play the 'Gen, you just haven't had the RIGHT alcohol' game with me you will very quickly start to meef me off.
Conventions are work for me. I have printing costs, table fees, and other expenses I need to make to be able to break even. This means that more than likely I will not be available to hang out after the dealer's den closes because I have work to do. It also means I might ask you to step aside for customers if you're in front of my table for an extended period of time. I have heard rumors of people who harass artists at cons by extended loitering, so I'm very likely to try and nudge you on your way if you are an active hindrance to my sales.
Normally I have a 'you can come and sit behind my table if you want' policy, but not this year at FC. I don't have as much space nor do I have an easy to access table and I don't want to bother the people that you would have to bump past to get there, so unless you're helping me, you're not allowed back there with me.
My hotel room is not a social hub, and I will probably have a ton of work to do Friday and Saturday night, so don't expect me to be very outgoing or social those nights or to let someone hang out in there when I have work to do. (sometimes I try to get a quick nap in when the DD closes just to I can be refreshed enough to catch up on commissions that night, so there's a good chance I'll just be going there and crashing.)
This really shouldn't even need to be said, but I am married and monogamous, so don't even try. Besides, I'll probably be clueless to any flirting anyway.
Saying all that though, I will try to be friendly to everyone who wants to come up and say hello. Unless you are actively trying to annoy me, you won't, I promise.

Okay, I need to steal "meef" into the vocabulary. Thats just so wonderfully said.
I should find a costume wig that matches your color so I can play "Stunt Gen" for all the special effects shots.
Cheers!
(Saying that, it's going to be wonderful seeing each other again! Even if it's just a HEYOMGHIBYE!!!)
(I do actually look a little older. Somewhat. And you probably still look great!)
I won't be at this FC, sadly, but I will try to send someone around at least to say hi.
As an east coaster, we've been a bit spoiled..but we don't mind sharing the awesomeness that is Gen with the left coast. :) Treat her well, California :)
Maybe I'll see you at FWA or AC? Be good too see you again <3.
Hope you have fun at FC this year, Gen. Since it seems like the theme is going to be around games (based on the Scott Pilgrim design), I imagine you'd have a few images too contribute?
