Rainfurrest Non-meme
10 years ago
-I will be at Rainfurrest. It will be my only convention or big event of that sort in 2015.
-I won't arrive until Friday evening, because reasons. I'll be riding and rooming with my pal, "CoffeehouseDog" and my fiancé, "What's His Face." We'll be staying at the Rodeway, because we are cheapskates.
-Furry conventions are like college. Some people spend all their time going to classes (panels), others just party and get wasted and try to get laid. I'm the stick-in-the-mud panel-attending sort. That said, the only events that are non-negotiable for me are the fursuit parade and the fursuit games. Everything else I could take or leave.
-I will be running around as this goat, cosplaying as this schmuck, and combining the two (that is, Clopan the goat dressed like Clopin the human). You're going to hear me coming a long ways away, because I'll be wearing the most loud, annoying bells imaginable. Preceding me, you'll probably see a squirrel and a pastel African wild dog, desperately running to try to escape the sound of the bells.
-To spot me out of suit: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/6519792/ I'm the one on the lower left here, and will probably be wearing the same paint-splatter hoodie. I'll have shorter, darker hair and squinty eyes that are trying to adjust to not wearing glasses.
-I will come prepared to do art and will probably attend at least one art jam, but I'm not selling anything. My general "No commissions, no trades, no requests" policy still stands.
-I won't be dancing much because I have no rhythm or stamina.
-I may drink a little, but caffeine will probably be my drug of choice. Alcohol tastes nasty, makes me sleepy, and seems to increase my self-consciousness instead of alleviate it. That defeats the point of drinking.
-I probably won't do much that you couldn't show in Saturday morning cartoons, except shower and use the toilet.
-It's hard to spend substantial, quality time with people at cons. A lot of my interactions with people are brief hallway encounters as we bump into each other on our way to completely different destinations. I feel like a ping pong ball bouncing from place to place, and that's going to be exaggerated at this con because I only have about two days to cram everything in. That said, I try to be very polite, laid-back and approachable. I'd love to meet some new people and see people I haven't seen in a while. So if you see me, please say Hi.

I'm pretty sure my dad only met you once or twice, when we were going to/coming from Chris and Smurf's wedding. And he still asks about you to this day. He asked if I saw you at the con and how you're doing.
