Anthrocon 2015 meme (with announcement)
10 years ago
Edit, same day: My new US cell phone number is +1 610 203 1343. It should work, with unlimited text messaging, until I leave the country on the Tuesday after Anthrocon.
Note for Canadians: Unlike previous years, I don't have a balance on this number for International charges, so non-US numbers are unlikely to work.
Please use Twitter DM in lieu of texting. Sorry about the inconvenience!
Since convention memes are the only thing I post nowadays, have another one:
Going to Anthrocon this year? So am I! ^^
Before we begin, let me do a brief announcement:
Preamble
Just so everyone knows, this might actually be my last Anthrocon for a while. Sorry. :(
I love this convention, but now that I've moved countries, I find that I have to invest many of my vacation days in visiting family and friends in the homeland.
My increasing involvement in the European fandom, such as
nordicfuzzcon, is consuming a lot of time and resources as well.
The bottom line is, this might be our last opportunity to meet before who-knows-when. If you want to see me, take the chance!
Now, on with the meme!
How are you getting there?
Road trip from Philadelphia with Giza.
Which days will you be attending?
I'm in Pittsburgh from late Tuesday until mid Monday.
Where are you staying, and with whom?
First with Giza at the Westin, then with
gizagiza (a.k.a. Naejje) at the Omni.
How do you want to be addressed?
Jake in suit, or Ethan out of it. But either of those is A-OK at any time – I won't be offended if you mix them up. :)
Where/how can I find you?
On Wednesday, I'll do some volunteering. Other than that, I'll probably be running around a lot.
Text my US phone number (to be posted at the top of this journal once I have it) if you want to get ahold of me.
Which events and panels will you attend?
Given:
* Opening and closing ceremonies
* Fursuit Parade
*
hali (Matthew Ebel) and
peppercoyote concerts
* In ur Dealers' Den, buyin ur commissions
*
kagemushi's story hour clashes with
*
kilcodocostumes photoshoot, 8 pm on Saturday (more info)
Likely:
* Fursuit friendly dance
* Karaoke
* Famous Chicken mascot panels
* International Anthropomorphic Research Project debriefing
Do you do requests/trades/commissions?
Sorry, but I'm really not an artist. :(
Can I talk to you?
Of course you can! Meeting furries is why I go to cons!
Can I take pictures with you?
Pretty "yes please" with a cherry on top!
Can I touch or hug you?
Jake <33 hugs! Ethan likes them too.
(In all cases, please maintain consensuality and proper personal hygiene.)
Can I hang out with you?
Yes – if you can keep up! I might run around a lot. :P
The best way to get me to stay is probably to strike up an interesting conversation. ;)
Do you go to parties?
I'm not a drinker, so I seldom go to room parties or similar.
That said, I am pretty social, so you'll probably find me milling around public con spaces in the evenings, whenever I'm not dining or attending an event.
Will you be suiting?
*Jake noddles*
What's your personality type?
Surprisingly outgoing! :D
What is the best way to reach you?
Texting my US cell phone is by far the best way to reach me, since I plan to buy unlimited texting for the duration of the con.
As soon as I have my new US number (which will be today or tomorrow), it will be posted at the beginning of this journal.
Text messages aside, Twitter DM is the second best means of contact, or placing a call in urgent situations.
(Sending FA PMs might work too, but I am only likely to read those once a day or so.)
Have any other questions?
Anything else you wonder about? Feel free to post a question or a comment (here or on LJ), send me an FA PM, or e-mail me!
Dropping me a line on my US number, once I have it, is fine as well.
Wow, you read all the way to the bottom... *gives extra hugs* See you in Pittsburgh! ^^

I really want to see you too! Please DM me on Twitter during the con or (if you have a US number) text my American cell phone.
Why the long move, if I may inquire?
CF as in "Califur" is not happening, but CF as in "ConFuzzled" is a possibility next year. It depends a bit on my employment situation, and whether or not I'm still in the UK.
Looking forward to seeing you at the con!
I hope I'll get to hear more about the particulars tonight.
Say hi to my home country from me, will you? :)
