AnthroCon 2017
8 years ago
✘✘✘ This is a journal I never thought I would be writing, but time to try something new!
So earlier in the month a friend asked if I would be attending AC. Actually, I have been asked to go to several different Furry related conventions before in the past, but with my line of work I typically have to shoot down the idea. Getting time off is never in my favor, so I just don't bother.
This time however I made a spontaneous choice and said "Yes, I will be there!" and made certain to get the days off.
I.. am both excited and nervous! I have been to conventions before in the past (ComicBook, Anime, SteamPunk), but never specifically targeted to the Furry Community. The cons I've been to in the past have been with my old core group of friends, so I knew who I was with. This time however, I will be meeting people for the first time face to face in a city I have never been to! Once I get warmed up I'll be very sociable, but you better believe there will be a flutter in my stomach leading up to that point.
Rambles aside: I will be at this upcoming convention!
Oh, and I figured I'd answer the little questions from this meme thing:
Where are you staying?
Omni
What day are you getting there?
I am aiming for June 28th, but will most definitely be there on June 29th!
How are you traveling?
Driving my car! Wish I had someone to yak at on the long drive xD
Who will you be rooming with?
<- This guy! ..
Along with Three others (Pertinax, Moto Fox, Nith)
How is the best way to find you?
I'll probably be lost! so if you find me then show me the way~
Are there any panels you might be attending?
Depends on which ones I stumble into. None specific!
What do you look like?
As Miss Swan would say "He Look... Like a man!"
But in all seriousness, I'm an average dude from California. Blonde hair and piercings (Double gauges in each lobe and industrial bars)
Will you be suiting?
I wish!
Do you do free art?
Negative!
Do you do trades?
If someone is interested in trading for what I bring, then we shall talk!
( What am I bringing? An assortment of hand-made carved Brass jewelry and 'trinkets' )
Do you do badges?
We do make Brass Tags if that counts. Not on site however!
What is your gender?
Male
How tall are you?
5'8"
Can I talk to you?
Absolutely! I may be quiet around new people, but once I warm up I can be quite the chatter box!
Watch out though~ I have a sarcastic sense of humor!
Can I touch you?
Knuckle to Knuckle. High Fives.
If I go in for a handshake and you try to switch it up to some sort of weird code shake.. I'm going to fumble and narrow my eyes.
Can I visit your room?
Not my room, so Nope!
Can I buy you drinks?
Yes, but I will insist to buy you one in return!
Can I give you stuff?
So long as it isn't edible.
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Not unless the moment calls for it. Surprise me and I'll mentally lockup.
Are you nice?
I would like to think so. I tend to be very polite and mellow.
However as mentioned once before, I do have a sarcastic sense of humor.
How long are you going?
28th(29th)-3rd
Do you have an artist table?
Not this time!
Will you be going to parties?
I will probably end up at one, sure!
Will you be performing?
Not that I am aware of at the time of writing this..
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
IF you actually recognize who I am, just say Hello! I will respond to "Yo!" - "Dude!" - and "Akkla!"
Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
I will be perpetually lost, so your guess is as good as mine.
What/where will you be eating?
I want to try all the various foods found around the con area of the city.
Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
I could use some company if I'm not with anyone else at the time!
Can I take your picture?
Why would you want to ruin your camera? Jokes aside, I would rather you didn't unless I am intentionally dressed up.
What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Meet people in the community and some key artists.
Try some new food!
Have Fun~ Relax with no stress and being far far away from my everyday job.
