Califur: Crouching Con, Hidden Jacuzzi
11 years ago
Well hell, CF 2014 is next weekend, and I'm as ready as
an egg bound hen riding a roller coaster.
This is my journal. Don't disparage my metaphors.
Califurr is always a strange experience.
This convention is so local to me that I can
throw a dead cat from my backyard and land it in the hotel pool.
And, as such, this is the con that doesn't really feel like a con.
Part of the fun of a furcon is the journey; the change of scenery,
the colorful locals and the thrill of seeing friends in differing parts
of the country. Califurrr is still a blast, but on a different level.
Here's whut I'm a-gunna do:
I'll rumble over after work on Friday, fight with the speed bumps and
valets, and then mix it up with the giant animals. I won't be a dog
on Friday, just a skinny old human. I'm taking pictures, drinking beer,
and hugging every poor suiter I can find.
And, I'll fall into the pool "on accident" as always.
Once I wrangle myself out of work on Saturday, all bets are off.
I got me one of those hotel room thingies and there will be behavior
unbecoming of someone who has reached this vintage.
The KROQ folks will be there and you will find me in the lobby with
the groupies and band members and the girls that wear sunglasses at night.
You will also find me wandering the halls, dancing at inopportune moments,
and giggling like kid in a vat of puppies as I see all my friends, both old and new.
Califurrrr. I'm excited.
I get to hang with all my pals again and that means the world to me.
If you see me, please do say hullo and give me a squeezie.
May I drip dry on your carpet?

*Gives you internet squeezie*
Maybe next year!
Your first furcon will be an amazing experience and I hope you enjoy every second.
I'll see you there!
You can read all about it... Their response wasn't outright negative, it was more like "is this really your idea of a good time, guys, wtf?"
With furries and media appearances, its largely what you make of it. A lot of furries seem to lack the social confidence to laugh at themselves which further reinforces the idea that there's something wrong with us, rather than just being a weird thing people are into, which is what it is.
a great time hanging out with those crazy DJs at the pool party.
Good times for sure.
I wish you were going to be there, and I look forward to seeing
your face again soon.
Bless you...
I'm sure there will be plenty of ~ahem~ interesting interactions.
And thank you!
No worries though, I won't know any of them either. Let's just drink with them and nod our heads sagely like we know what music they play. :)
Hey, you should come to my bar meet Sunday, also!!
Or whatever.
I'll see you soon, big burr!
I get so excited....
Now I have a new joke to wow the crowds...
How about two?
I'll see ya there!
Do I have to go just to carry a rolled up newspaper to smack you on the nose and then to rub your nose in the wet spot!?!
Wow, that sounded dirty...
Yes... yes it did!
Have fun and sure you may drip in my carpet XD
Thank you, my friend, and thank you for the expendable carpet.
You're always a true pal.
