It’s that time again! Those of you with good memories may recognize much of this journal from last year.

Where are you staying?
The best hotel! The Courtyard.

What day are you getting there?
Arriving Thursday, going home Monday

How are you traveling?
Fully paid-off Bavarian rocketship

Who will you be rooming with?
Kee, Sookta, Spartadog, and a couple others I’m less familiar with

How is the best way to find you?
That is a good question. If you really want to meet, I suppose we can exchange contact info, but I don’t have a smartphone yet – supposed to get one later this summer.

Are there any panels you might be attending?
I won’t know which ones until I look at the schedule, but I want to make it to the “Can You Read It?’ one if they’re running that this year. Also, Story Hour and 2’s Rant. The Dance Competition is always entertaining.

What do you look like?
Just this guy, you know? Probably not as fit as I should be, but not obese. Dark blonde hair in a ponytail, gray eyes, glasses, goatee. Clever t-shirts, shorts. Also, I am naturally invisible.

Will you be suiting?
No.

Do you do free art?
All my art is free. Do I do requests? Not so much.

Do you do trades?
Contact me once Free Agency opens up.

Do you do badges?
Not that kind of artist, sorry.

What is your gender?
Male

How tall are you?
5’6”-ish

Can I talk to you?
Please do.

Can I touch you?
Nothing below the belt.

How can I find you?
Like I said, I don’t know. I move around a lot. I have a Twitter – (at)Kinto_M – but I won’t be able to update it on the fly because I only have a dumbphone. I will be wearing my tail and my badges (my gallery isn’t that big, you can find them).

Can I visit your room?
Probably not.

Can I buy you drinks?
I don’t drink alcohol. Generally speaking, I buy my own refreshment.

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Do I know you?

Are you nice?
I try to be. I’m not much of a conversationalist, and am socially inept.

Do you have an artist table?
The world is my table (That’s a no)

Will you be going to parties?
The nightly dance parties, likely. Maybe an FBA party if such a thing materializes.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
I respond to smoke signals, carrier pigeons, and targeted drone strikes. Also to “Kinto.”

Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
It’s far more likely I’ll be asking you that. I don’t like eating alone, but it inevitably happens every year. If you want my company, by all means, join me.

Can I look in your sketchbook?
I don’t really have one.

Can I draw in your sketchbook?
See above.

Can I take your picture?
I guess?

What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
I dunno. I never set goals. It’s a character flaw. “Not be miserable” is my main aspiration.
