Yoinked from

Arrival:
Taking the usual late flight Wednesday, getting into Pittsburgh at midnight and staying at a local friend's house. Getting to the Westin around 3pm.
Means of transportation:
Southwest Airlines, who ever so conveniently provided me with 4 drink tickets for this trip.
Sharing a room with:
phillyphox
conqure
goldenbullet It is my friend Conqure's first AC (he's local to Seattle) and I'm very excited for him.
Hanging out with:
With the roomies some of the time, otherwise anyone who wants to!
Gender:
XY
How tall are you?
6'
Physical Appearance?
Asian, short black spiky hair & glasses, wearing lion-related shirt and tail usually.
Are you an Artist?
The art is in my fursuit performance, and my photography which will be in the Art Show once again.
Do you have a sketchbook?
Nope.
Can you draw in my sketchbook?
You don't want me to do that...
Are you a Fursuiter?
Yes! One of the most enjoyable parts of AC is spreading the fursuiting magic to the City of Pittsburgh and the furry fans that attend the con each year.
Which Fursuits will you bring?
Kijani only, I really really wish there was a way for me to bring Jelani but it's just not possible. The body takes up an entire suitcase by itself.
Attending parties?
Not cool enough to get invited to any, except that one time on the 13th floor of the Westin...
Do you drink?
Like a fish! Oh you mean alcohol? Yes, on occasion.
Do you smoke?
Ribs, salmon... mmm *drools*
Hosting/Attending Panels?
I will be making my Anthrocon Game Show hosting debut on Friday at 5pm in DLCC 407 - hosting Wheel of Furtune. I am very excited and anxious to do a great job after the problems we had at BLFC which have now been fixed. IT's going to be a ton of fun, and there's a Sponsor Membership up for grabs which is exciting.
Attending, the Fursuit Dance Comp is a must for me, other than that there's actually not much on my schedule this year. More time for fursuiting!
Stage or public performance?
Nah, I prefer to watch.
How do I identify myself to you?
If I'm in suit, yell my name and come running in my general direction, arms flailing, and I may be able to see you. Out of suit, less flailing will be necessary, just be polite about it (no surprise glomps please!) I am really good with faces and bad with (complicated fursona) names, so if we have met before please remind me your name to jog my memory.
Rules of engagement (physical contact)?
Hugs are great! Fursuit snugs are nice too but in private...
Best way to contact?
Twitter is best @kijani_lion, I'm also on Telegram on the same handle but don't check it nearly as often and don't get alerts. If I know you I'll be happy to give you my cell number for texting as well.
Can I talk to you?
Yes!!!! Some of the most enjoyable moments for me at Anthrocon are meeting new people and fans of my videos. If they have inspired you in some way, or you otherwise enjoy my work please let me know
Can I give you stuff?
Stuff: matter, material, articles, or activities of a specified or indeterminate kind that are being referred to, indicated, or implied.
Okay sure!
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Hugs make the world go round. Snuggles are only for certain people, in suit only, and not in public areas of the con.
Can I come to dinner with you?
Please ask in advance, some of our dinners will have reservations (that can be adjusted with notice). But sharing a meal with friends at a con is a most enjoyable experience.
Can I hang out with you?
I'm pretty busy at AC and usually on the move, but if you're okay with that, sure. Just don't be creepy stalker guy!
Can I take your picture?
Sure, in or out of suit.
How do I know if you're not looking to socialize (angry, busy or upset)?
The only time I can't really socialize is if I'm heading to an event or panel or have some kind of engagement, and I'll probably politely let you know if that's the case. Otherwise I have never been too angry or upset at AC to socialize.
Personality Type?
I am extremely friendly and easygoing, especially at a big con like AC. Can be shy at first among people I don't know well, but open up quickly if we have something in common.
What's your goal for the con this year?
- See and spend time with friends and acquaintances I only get to see once a year
- Fursuit more than I ever have at AC
- Do a great job hosting Wheel
- Do well in the Art Show (I said last year will be my final time if I didn't do well, and I had by far my best year ever, you guys are amazing) - I do have two very nice canvases of my most popular works in there this year.
I think that's it... let me know if you're going and see you next week in Pittsburgh!

I sure miss a lot of Pittsburgh :3
I hope you have time to post a couple of "at the con" journals,
I always enjoy reading them and they make me feel like I'm there.
Also, have a beer for me...
We"ll just have to start a new tradition next year.
And yes, I read everything, and I should comment more often.
Thank you once again for bringing the con to me!
