I don't know much about you, Pat! Does your furriness ever come up in your profession, either comically or dramatically?

Not really much in day-to-day conversation... I think you met my manager Steve at Sci-fi; he's a big sci-fi and fantasy nerd as well. So I've explained it to him a bit and he was at the talk last year. The techs have just seen pictures of AC and think it's cool, even though they don't particularly understand it.
And in 2012 I did wear the suit to the xmas party to help hand out the prizes, which was a lot of fun.

Nice! I love the digitigrade legs, how does that work? I'm sure it's just the way the suit is designed, but it looks like you'd have to keep your legs bent the whole time! How's it work?

My suit? No, the feet aren't actually digitigrade; it's just the color of the fur provides the illusion that it kind of bends like a horse's foot.
