yeah I'll be in the general vicinity of that giant furry convention in my hometown
if you want to hang out or I have art for you and we need to convene, please note me with your phone number or where I can find you because I'm not positive that I'll land an alley table.
At the very least, I will try to sit in the zoo for most of friday to pass stuff out, but I'll do my best to be in the alley for at least one day.
I'm probably going to end up not seeing much of the conspace itself. I'm going to be completely honest here -- I had a really bad time at my past 2 ACs, and I'm not looking forward to this weekend because of it. I don't plan to do much (if any) sales. I made a mistake and screwed myself out of getting art show space and I'm pretty down about that, and haven't had any time to really prepare for alley sales. So yeah, did not get to put anything in the art show this year [sigh] except an old collab under Farore's space (I think). I'm not sure if I'll be selling in the alley.
I have no plans. Generally I should be with my lovely jerkface sweetie

Remember, if you want to see me and I don't already have it, NOTE ME YOUR CELL NUMBER.
General robot-spotting rules are as follows:
- five feet tall, tiny, and thin
- androgynous, beatles-circa-mid-60s haircut
- glasses, generally in t-shirts and shorts/cargo pants
- mid-twenties aged, but resembles a 12 year old boy (oops)
Possible bonus features, if I'm feeling social:
- badges that read "techno" or "robocoon"
- large fluffy purple and black striped technotail
- SEA/Scott FP procomp panoramic gasmask
DOS AND DON'TS
- absolutely do not touch me in any form. If you see someone touching me, they are either someone that I know already, or they're about to get their head ripped off.
- don't scream, shout, or otherwise make loud noises around me. I startle easy and have a hard time with loud sounds.
- don't hit on me or do anything sexual towards/around me. I have a boyfriend. I am extremely monogamous. I am not interested.
THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MY CITY...
- They are building a subway system pretty much right in front of the convention center, all the way down to the waterfront. Please do not bitch about this. The city does not stop functioning because one of a million conventions is here. They're trying to get it done in time for the G20 Summit, which is sort of more important than us.
- Your convention is in the Westin and the D.L. Lawrence convention center. These are the places where it's SORT OF okay to be loud, retarded, and generally immature. Do not shout memes or act like a ridiculous stereotypical parody of yourself outside of these places. If you want to have a costumed chaotic party in the streets, stay here til Pride Week. The parades are on the 13th and 14th. Keep it in your hotel room until then.
- Everyone makes fun of you for wearing your tails/ears/badges/costumes in public, especially downtown. Don't let the "WELCOME FURRIES" signs fool you. Please remove them before going into public places like restaurants, bars, and clubs.
- On the subject of clubs, as well as anything fun, YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN. No, really. Go down to the south side. I don't care how you do it. Catch one of the many buses and ask which number will take you there before you start spouting shit about how there's nothing to do here. There is -everything- to do here, you're just not in the right place.
- Kennywood is not furry fun wonderland. It's not even in the city. Just.. don't. Seriously. :|
- most importantly... DO NOT TALK SHIT ABOUT PITTSBURGH. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE, DON'T COME HERE. DO NOT ACT LIKE YOU KNOW THE CITY IF YOU'RE NOT FROM HERE. Going to a furry convention and walking in the surrounding two blocks does not make you familiar with any city. I can't stress this one enough. I am SO sick of hearing people bitch about how they hate my city when they've seen two buildings and a shitty sushi joint (they've been shut down 2 times on health code violations by the way, stop going OMG SUSHI KIM LOL ^_______^, there are several way better asian joints not even 5 minutes away).
okay I'm going to cut myself short before this ranting gets any more ridiculous. just... augh. Please don't be retarded. Us local people more often than not end up taking shit for most of the year because of the token furries that make asses of themselves around town. :s And honestly, the behavior at the con is getting really, REALLY bad, to the point that it's hard for me (and others) to go and see the friends I miss year round because it's not worth dealing with the people that only leave their basement to go commission hard copies of porno with their fursona in it. I don't care that it's a furry convention, you don't leave all traces of social mores at the door. It's still a public place with all types of people. Have some respect.
so stressed over this aaaauugh. I am dreading this weekend. :[ also I've been writing this since 10pm and frankly am too tired to edit it so if there are any glaring grammatical errors feel free to textually kick my ass for it.

Not to be offensive, not at all.
I'll keep a lookout for you. I've only just recently discovered your art, but I likes it!
I was all straightfaced up until the "oops" and I bust out laughing.
Now I get it.
i have balls, let them talk shit.
if you don't wear that tail maybe I can cosplay as Taller, Manlier Techno? :3c
it's murderin time
and i'll violate the 2 second rule by eight extra seconds
that way i can save calories by not walking
it's how i roll
And you'll get not hate from me about Pittsburgh. :) I haven't seen much of it, but what I have seen, I like. Then again, I like a lot of big buildings squished together and any place with an air of history about it. Water running through it? All the better! Oh hey! Since you're local, mind if I ask how that Church Brewery place is, if you're familiar with it? A friend pointed it out to me and it looks amazing on the website. http://www.churchbrew.com/ I kinda just want to go so I can say I've had a beer... in church. XD
And oh god, I agree with the ears and tail thing. Wearing them outside of furry cons or some meets is asking for trouble.
reminded me of boston, and i liked harvard square alot
after countless stress filled trips to ny and having to hover around the trainstation in philly over night a few times, there isnt a damn thing pitts could do to piss me off that bad
and badges wont save me anyways, i look like an ass regardles
I like what little I've seen of P-Burgh but I don't know shit about the city. I'd love it if you showed me around a bit and pointed out awesome places to hang/eat/drink/whatever.
I THINK you have my number! 908 area code, last digit is a 6
I may forgot/not care to take off my one or two badges and single tail if I'm walking into that sandwich shop thing right near the hotel but I will show discretion if we are going somewhere further away/nicer. I just forget/don't notice, not trying to be inconsiderate at the time.
As for being loud, again, I get fairly excited and just forget sometimes, appologiies in advance. You'll probably spot me from across the room before I get to accidentally startle you.
I know you've met me and we're cool but i am just covering all bases JUST TO BE SAFE because I don't want to be THAT LOUD BLUE ASSHOLE
OH WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR. And hey, at least I get to see San Fran in 2 weeks. Awright.
