EF meme Revamped (UPDATED!)
9 years ago
OK, so I took last year's EF meme and another con meme I came across and merged the two, plus added some of my own questions as well as organized them in categories. ( And pimped it with horse heads because equines rule! :P ) Feel free to copy it!
UPDATE: I got a room in Estrel! So I'm updating this accordingly.
General & Personal
♞ What is your gender?
Stallion (=male)
♞ Relationship Status:
Single, and open to new things
♞ How old are you?
30
♞ How tall are you?
Last time I checked it was 187cm (= 6.14 feet)
♞ Which languages do you speak?
English, Hungarian and a few words/phrases in German, Russian and Western Archaic Tibetan (yes, really).
♞ What suit(s) will you have?
None, sadly.
♞ Do you drink Alcohol?
I like alcohol in some situations and with limitations. I prefer my mind being clean unless I'm relaxing/partying.
♞ Do you smoke?
No and yes. No cigarettes. EVER. Why smoke crap tobacco wrapped in paper and treated with chemicals when I can smoke proper tobacco without junk? So I rarely smoke smoking pipes, water-pipes (also called shisha, hookah or nargileh) and even more rarely cigars. But I don't miss any of them.
♞ What do I have to watch out for, when I am meeting you?
I'm weird and I have a few issues, partly because I have Asperger's, a mild form of Autism. For example I can't remember names or recognize faces - we can talk for hours, then 20 minutes later I may not recognize you. I usually know people by clothing, voice, hair and other things. I will also ask your name again for dozens of times, and even then it may not stick. I also have an extremely hard time filtering out human speech from background noise so I will ask "what?" a lot - and no, my ears are perfect, I CAN hear it, I can hear a mouse farting just my brain can't process the speech if there is more than a little noise. I also often act awkward or inappropriate in social situations and not realize it, or talk very loud. And I often take things too literally, including sarcasm. There is more, but the point is, if I act weird/rude, I'm probably not doing it on purpose, so please be patient. Also, let me know if you think I'm going over the line, because I may not realize it.
♞ If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Huh, well... if calling my name ("Storm!") doesn't work, try louder, of still no, try to wave or gently pat my shoulder. Sometimes I just don't notice things at first.
♞ What is the best way to contact you?
Before/after EF write a Note here. During EF I will try my best to keep an eye on my twitter @Storm_anthro and for the duration I will have Telegram installed - if you want to contact me on TG drop a Note or tweet.
Travel and stay
♞ Where are you staying?
In the Estrel! \o/
♞ Means of transportation?
I arrive by train from Hungary. 13 and half hours ride! \o/ Then public transport around Berlin.
♞ Sharing a room with:
kyeramoon
♞ When will you be arriving and leaving?
I arrive to Berlin on 16th, Tuesday in the morning and leave 25th, Wednesday in the evening.
At the con
♞ Where will you be most of the time during the day?
Everywhere! I want to get the most out of the con! Lots of interesting events! And occasionally you may find me at the bar, in the beer garden or in the Artist Lounge.
♞ Who will you be with?
A few friends.
♞ How can I find you at the con?
Tweet @Storm_anthro
♞ Attending any events?
Oh yes, I will go to any panel of interest, and maybe some of the parties.
♞ Holding any panels?
YES!!! I will hold a panel about Krita, the Open Source painting program I make my artworks with! It will be, unless schedule changes, at 14:00 on Friday, in room Paris.
♞ What/where will you be eating?
Mostly street food, but I may visit some Asian or vegan places.
♞ Will you be having a room party?
We will see. Maybe.
Art
♞ Are you buying art?
If I will have any money to spend, then I may buy something if it really catches me.
♞ Do you do free art?
No, sorry. Tho I may sometimes be willing to do sketches for a drink or lunch. :P
♞ Do you do trades?
Yes, but only with artists who are at least near my level. Not at the con, tho, I will be busy with having fun. ;) But we can discuss it.
♞ Do you do commissions?
Absolutely! Not at the con, tho, I will be busy with having fun. ;) But we can discuss it.
♞ Will you have panels in the Art Show?
Yes! I have half panel in the clean section and another half in the NSFW section!
♞ Will you sell something in the Dealers Den?
No. Maybe next year...
♞ Will you hang out in the Artist Lounge?
Sometimes, when there are no any panels or events of interest, and not hanging out with friends.
Permissions
♞ Can I dance with you?
Uhh, you can try... but I can't really dance, and I'm not planning to drink enough for that.
♞ Can I touch you?
Generally yes, but use common sense!
♞ Can I talk to you?
Sure!
♞ Can I hug you?
Absolutely! ...given you are not dirty/messy/dripping from sweat etc.
♞ Can I take photos of you/with you?
ASK FIRST!
♞ Can I buy you lots of drinks?
Depends. I may respectfully decline alcohol depending on the situation. However, I'm always ready for a cup of fine tea, fruit juice, or a nice cappuccino when I feel tired.
♞ Can I give you lots of money?
If you feel generous and want to support a poor artist, sure! ;) But don't expect things in return - I'm not a prostitute.
♞ Can we hang out?
That depends on your definition of hanging out. I'm introverted and sometimes no very social.
♞ Can we go out for a dinner?
If I don't have other plans, I guess we can.
♞ May I kidnap you to my room?
Mmmm... maybe! ;) But I would like to get to know you a little first. And remember that NO means NO.
♞ Will you tell me your room-number and can I surprise visit you?
ABSOLUTELY NO SURPRISE VISITS! If you want the number, ask for it - but I will ask why you would like to know it?
♞ Can I look in your sketchbook/conbook?
If you ask nicely, most likely yes.
Miscellaneous
♞ Are you nice?
That's relative. Decide for yourself.
♞ Other cons you may go to?
Sadly, can't.
♞ How many furry conventions have you attended before?
NONE! This will be the first! :)
♞ You look pretty tired, are you OK?
I sometimes have bad moments, or just want to be alone. I don't do drugs and keep alcohol consumption within reason, so you won't see me stoned or trashed. So if I look like something is wrong with me, feel free to come over and ask if all is fine. Maybe I just haven't eaten in a while, and need to find myself some food and sit down a bit.
♞ Last time/last con/last meet/last chat we talked so much and now you forgot my name? Why???
As stated above, I have some issues - among other things I have an extremely hard time to recognize faces and remember names. I can't recall the names OR faces of 99% of my classmates and coworkers from the past. Hell, I could walk past my own mother on the crowded street and not notice her unless I'm specifically paying attention. So, nothing personal.
♞ What's your goal for the con this year?
- Sell some shit at the Art Show
- Don't utterly fail with my panel
- Have fun!
♞ I have a personal question for the convention. May I ask you that?
Of course! But if it's very personal, you may want to ask it on a private channel. Otherwise you can just comment below.

You really should come too once. There is a reason Uncle Kage called EF "the best con" once. :P
