BLFC 2015: Time to meme it up
10 years ago
As the very merry month of May looms near, and the rest of FA continues to deal with the terror that is the new sidebar (it's just terrible, that is), it seems like the time is right for me to bust out a new journal. One with a meme, no less, because Biggest Little FurCon is just around the corner, and the time to really start getting excited is now. So let me get to it, with this series of questions.
I have edited out the artist-centric questions, because I've officially run out of jokey "But-seriously-I'm-not-an-artist" answers.
Where are you staying?
The Grand Sierra Resort. It's a good hotel and I look forward to returning.
What day are you getting there?
I arrive at some point Thursday afternoon.
How are you traveling?
Gonna drive myself! I've never driven over the Sierras before, so this will be fun.
Who will you be rooming with?
Zarafa and
lunabellefox. And also
meerk, if we can find a way to get his skinny tail up to Reno.
How is the best way to find you?
Just look for the Raccoon. The good one.
Are there any panels you might be attending?
Probably nothing beyond the dance competition and the nightly dances. Maybe one other random one will perk my interest, but by and large I don't do cons for the panels.
What do you look like?
Skinny white guy with glasses. I should be easy to locate.
Will you be suiting?
You better believe it. If you ever see a slim, gangly, six-foot raccoon with blue hair, be sure to give it a nice hug.
What is your gender?
Who ordered these questions? Should I have reordered them? Probably.
Can I talk to you?
By all means! I need to meet more new people at these cons, and the best way to do that is via conversations! Conversations that I'm just awful at initiating, of course, so here's hoping things go smoothly if I start to talk to you.
Can I touch you?
Keep it reasonable and I don't see why not.
Can I visit your room?
It's not my room! It belongs to a Giraffe! And you know how they are.
Can I buy you drinks?
Knock yourself out. It's your money! Sure, I won't actually drink them, but it's the thought that counts.
Can I give you stuff?
Who am I to refuse free things?
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Hugs are always acceptable. What would this fandom be without hugs? Anything past that, though, prepare for disappointment.
Are you nice?
Oiy, I hope so.
Will you be going to parties?
If I can find them! I only ever seem to know about the advertised ones, like the massive two-room one that's always held. Beyond that, pass the word along! This Raccoon may be awkward at parties, but he still needs to get to them!
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Shouting various forms of my name usually works. As does throwing things, but this method is frowned upon.
Where will you be most of the time during the day(s)?
Wandering about here and there. Maybe the dealer's hall, maybe the hallways of the lower level, maybe even outside. But I'll always be out and about during con hours!
What/where will you be eating?
I haven't a clue. That's the sort of thing I always decide on the day of, with very little pre-planning.
Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
Probably! I usually go with groups anyway, and one more is always welcome, provided we can fit them at my table.
Can I look in your sketchbook?
Please do! Art needs to be shown off, and I'm always happy if someone else takes an interest.
Can I draw in your sketchbook?
Hopefully! Just speak to me first, please. I'm rather picky about what goes where in my book.
Can I take your picture?
If I'm suiting, then absolutely, provided you share said pics with me later. If I'm not suiting, then best not, but only because I look absolutely awful on camera when I'm out of suit.
What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Lots and lots of furry fun! And also seeing Mad Max: Fury Road on Thursday night. I won't be missing my most anticipated movie of the year no matter where I am, that's for sure 8)
And that's that. Hope to see lots of you up in Reno in a few weeks!
