I already got tickets months back, my wife really wants to go, so we'll probably spend a few hours there, but being in big groups makes me super uncomfortable. I usually just end up sitting somewhere quiet and trying to work up the courage to go talk with someone. Thankfully, I live nearby so I can go home when I need to. Won't be wearing a fursuit this year since it was just uncomfortable and restricting.

I asked the con staff whether I could teach my dickmaking panel again this year, but nobody ever got back to me, so I'm taking that as a no. It's really too bad; I had a lot of fun teaching it the last couple years. That was one of my two reasons for going, along with meeting online friends in person, but I don't have either this year and it's been driving me nuts. I don't want to go to the con. Hopefully I will get the flu and then I'll have an excuse to stay home for the duration of the convention.
