Yep, I'm going to my first convention in 5 years. Who else is all going?

Where are you staying?
Westin

What day are you getting there?
Thursday night

How are you traveling?
Flying in

Who will you be rooming with?
Nobody, going it alone

What is the best way to find you?
Well, I'm hoping to spend most if not all my time in the artist alley selling commissions, so hopefully there. You can send me a message on Telegram if you just want to meet me. (@kigai)

Are there any panels you might be attending?
Umm, I'm honestly not sure. I don't think the program schedule is up yet?

What do you look like?
You'll have to find out. In general, look for a well trimmed goatee, glasses, and long hair, probably a hat on.

Will you be suiting?
I do not own a fursuit, though I'd love to try one on someday just for fun

Do you do free art?
No

Do you do trades?
Most likely no, we'd have to get to know each other really well before I'd commit to one.

Do you do badges?
I do sketches and illustrations at cons. I would do badges, but I don't have the markers for it.

What is your gender?
Male

How tall are you?
5'7"

Can I talk to you?
Sure, I'm happy to talk and meet with people.

Can I touch you?
I'll definitely take a hug or a handshake.

Can I visit your room?
If I invite you, absolutely.

Can I buy you drinks?
Sure, I don't drink much though, so best ask me first just in case I've already hit my limit.

Can I give you stuff?
Maybe? I love gift art!

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
You can absolutely hug me. I'm pretty durable, so a big fursuit hug is always welcome. (As long as you showered)

Are you nice?
Absolutely, I may need to get to something if I'm busy, but I don't want anybody to feel like they can't come up and say hi to me.

Will you be going to parties?
Most likely not, I'm not a drinker, nor a real partier. Maybe a dance or two at most.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Call me Vellum or Kigai (Kee-Guy or Kih-guy), I'll respond to either.

Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Hopefully in the artist alley, if I don't get a seat, I guess I'll just be wandering to see if there's anything or anybody interesting, maybe pass out some business cards.

What/where will you be eating?
Honestly not sure, it's been about 9 years since I've been near Chicago. But I imagine pizza. I'd like to hit up Dave & Busters when I'm down there, not too far from the con.

Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
If you're invited, absolutely. If you want to go do something feel free to suggest it, please don't be offended if I can't go, I may have a heavy load of sketches I need to get done.

Can I look in your sketchbook?
Sure, I won't have much on me, but you can take a look. If nothing else I'll give you my card so you can see my gallery.

Can I draw in your sketchbook
If I don't need to use it at the moment, sure!

Can I take your picture?
I prefer pics not be taken of me, thank you though.

What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
1. Get a seat in the artist alley to sell some artwork and make some new connections.
2. I dunno, maybe make a couple of new friends, see some old ones if they still remember me, meet a few of my Patrons, etc. All that social shit.
