First of all, I loved the con. Best one I've been at, bear-none. I ended up not going to most of the panels I wanted to, for a reason I'll mention shortly. I socialized a lot more than I usually do, and spent most of my money on good food with good friends. It was just a grand old time. The room was pretty good for me, with one thing in particular. In my room, I found a very special fox, one who has been sweet and wonderful from the first moments I met him. Our first interaction was me showing off how bad my handpaws were for dexterity, and spilling red wine over him.

Despite that, he decided I'd be a good enough guy to go out to dinner with. Shortly after sitting down, I realized just how special he was. A giver, a people pleaser, and yet...different. He'd been taken advantage of, been hurt so much, and yet he was still willing to push forward, to keep giving. He had a kindness and a spark that I was captivated by. He spoke at length about being a chef, about his passion for food and his desires to go to culinary school. He was so happy just sitting there and talking, I found myself focusing less on the environment and more on him. It was supposed to be just a casual meal for friends and yet it very quickly became so much more.

By the end of the meal, I was enthralled, I could feel my face heating up as my cheeks turned red, and I felt so tingly I had to act. I managed to control it until we got outside, but the very moment I set foot out of the restaurant I grabbed his chin and tilted it up, and planted a very firm, but very gentle kiss on his lips. I almost lost my mind when he kissed back, my heart going pitter-patter in my chest too strongly to focus. It didn't take me long to really, truly fall for him, only a few hours of talking to him. We walked together for a few hours, just talking all the way, before we eventually around ten pm found a silent place in the convention center. We talked, I shared some music, and we laughed together. I was a bit too nervous to really kiss him much, maybe one or two here or there.

It took a while, and admitting how nervous I was by holding out my shaking hand before I felt good enough. Seeing his shaking hand as well helped me to feel better, and I finally leaned in for a big kiss. As I did, I could hear the fireworks of the nearby baseball game start up, and it felt almost too good to be true, too surreal. It feels like we spent an eon together, and yet nowhere enough time. All I know is that I wanted more of it, from that first bit of time alone together, and I almost cried when the staff members had to usher us off of the third floor back toward the public area. It was one of the best evenings of my life, despite how short it really was in the end.

I want more, and can only hope I get the chance to experience another weekend with him soon, the man who made me feel so special and loved that it cracked open my poor heart.

I'm all for hopping on bandwagons!

I already have my panels selected and scheduled, as I like to do. There are a few, mostly fursuiting stuff.

6'4, heavyset guy. Dark brown hair in a ponytail, usually. Alternatively, polar bear with the fire-like crest on the head.

Will you be suiting?
FUCK YEAH!

Male

How tall are you?
6'4

How old are you?
23

Single, possibly looking

Can I talk to you?

Depends. If I know you, if you're handsome, and if you know the limits of public decency

Can I visit your room?
If we hit it off and you ask, sure!

Can I buy you drinks?
Sure! My drink options are limited, but I'd love a free one or two

Leaving Monday morning

Will you be going to parties?
So not a party fur. I'd rather smaller groups

Will you be performing?
To quote Neil Patrick Harris... IT'S NOT JUST FOR GAYS ANY MORE! I'll be suiting, and possibly karaoke, if that counts as performing and not torture

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
'Bur' works. Or if you know me, Matoskah. Or if you really know me, I may be okay with slightly dirtier greetings. If we're done things in the past, those greetings are the fastest ways to get my attention

Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Probably Dealer's Den. I enjoy wandering around there a lot, when I'm bored

What/where will you be eating?
Mostly Jimmy John's, as they have good options for my diet. Seviche is another really good pick for me, when I feel a bit fancier

Sure! Just don't poke fun at me for saying 'without bread' on everything I order. It's necessary

To meet up with some old friends and make some new ones. And maybe break this dry spell :P

Kinda looking out for Anthrocon. I'd like to find a room with three other people, preferably. Not looking to be the one to book or pay this year, not after last time where I ended up having issues. I'd like these people to be respectful people, not anybody who would ruin someone else's belongings, or throw a room party in the room without checking in with the others. I figure I'll put out my feelers here first, then the AC forums if this fails. I'd like a friend if possible.

Where are you staying?
Westin. After twisting my ankles a record five times last year walking to the Doubletree, I said nope.

What day are you getting there?
Wednesday morning.

How are you traveling?
Midnight Bus to Pittsburgh

Who will you be rooming with?
My bur, forevah.

How is the best way to find you?
Shouting "HEY BEAR!" Despite that not being my fursona's name, most people know me by that. Also, look for the fat guy with long hair caked in sweat. ...Or look for the red-headed polar bear suit.

Are there any panels you might be attending?
A bunch. I'll be at a whole bunch of panels!

What do you look like?
Fat white guy, long hair almost always sweaty (Not due to hygiene, but overactive sweat bs in forehead), with horrible fashion sense.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No.

Bear. Also male.

6'4"

Wat.

How can I find you?
Look inside restaurants or the headless lounges.

Can I visit your room?
Polar Burs only

Can I buy you drinks?
Sure, but only fruity things.

Only if I'm in suit will I do hugs.

Are you nice?
As nice as a ferocious feral bear can be

Do you have an artist table?
Pffftno

Will you be going to parties?
Only if the polar bear party in my room works.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Matoskah, bear, bur, BEAR, POLAR BEAR all work

Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
If you pay your own way, sure.

Can I look in your sketchbook?
I has a sketchbook? Since whenz?

Can I draw in your sketchbook?
Only if you find one first.

Can I take your picture?
If I am in suit, sure. If not, only if I know you well. Which, if you're reading this, I probably do.

What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Suit, drink, spend time with friends, and not pass out from heat stroke.

Specifically, fursuiter friends. I'm possibly, hopefully getting a fursuit by or around Anthrocon, and I just realized that I don't know many fursuiters. Lookin' for Skype people to chat with a bunch. :3

Eh, was bored on Thanksgiving, so I decided to do this. Stolen from whoever.

Favorite Hair Color- Red
Hair Length- Any but bald
Eye Color- Any
Height- Either taller than 6'4 so they are taller than me, or shorter than 6'1 so I have enough height on them
Weight- Chubby is good
Clothing Style- I'm not one to judge
Age Range- I'm 21, so anywhere from five years older than me, to three years younger (GOTTA KEEP IT LEGAL)

Choose One...
Looks/Personality- Personality
Cute/Hot- Hot
Shy/Outgoing- Outgoing. If we're both shy, nothing will ever get done.
Same As You/Opposite- Two of me would be bad, mmkay? Opposite, for the love of all that is holy.
Easy/Hard-To-Get- Hard to get.
Go Out/Stay-At-Home Dates- Go out. Time at home is lovely, but going out for a meal or a night can make things a bit more special.
Group Dates/Just You Two- Depends on if it's just date or if there's something secret planned.
Gays - Clean-Cut/Grungy- Clean-cut, bit edgy but not grungy.

Would You...
Kiss On The First Date- YUP!
Have Sex On The First Date- If I really like them, sure!
Get Married Before A Year Of Dating- We can't get married. Other than that....eh, it REALLY depends.
Lie To Him/Her- No, unless it's something that would hurt them greatly to know, that doesn't help anything with its revelation.
Cheat On Him/Her- Nopenopenope!
Give Your Life For A True Love- No. Mini-tangent time, I'll keep it brief. The phrase 'I'd give my life for you' irks me. If you died for someone, they'd feel bad about it for the rest of their life. They'd know they were the reason you were gone, and that you'd still be around if not for them. It is a CURSE to tell that to someone you love.
Consider Yourself A Romantic- Yes. Easiest question yet.

Have You...
Been In Love Before- Yes
Had Your Heart Broken- A few times
Been Cheated On- Not that I know of~
Been On A Date Before- Yes

If You're Single...
Are You Happy Being Single- One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do...
Do You Like Anyone- Yes. Very much so.
Do They Know You Like Them- I'm straightforward with this. He does.

If You're With Someone...
How Long Have You Been Together-N/A
How's It Going-N/A
Are You In Love With Them-N/A
Do You Think It Will Last-N/A

I FINALLY have my laptop back. Give me two or three days of pure gaming and then I'll get to putting up some of my favorite pictures. AC 2013 and FAU 2013 will be covered. This is just in time for FF.

Hey there! I'll be in the Super 8 hotel with for Furfright this year! This hotel is only .4 miles from the con, and is pretty cheap. Rawz and I are looking for two roommates who are up for a small walk to and from the con. Main room rule is no messing with other people's stuff without their permission. This is largely due to having at least one fursuiter in the room, and me personally hating the idea of anything happening to fursuits. Other than that... No wild parties in the room too late, be considerate, and above all else, have a good time. If you have a vehicle, that'd be swell, too, since Rawz and myself don't drive, we need a ride to the hotel. You can contact me here in this journal if you're interested, since the tiger decided I should be in charge of choosing roommates. Look forward to hearing from y'all!

Edit: May have found the two roommates...not that anybody responded. :P

Saw a whole bunch of people doing it, so I may as well. I'm going to AC for the second year in a row, this time with much less drama and room shenanigans than last year. Of course, I'm not doing anything big. Not hosting any panels or anything. But the first day of it, July 4th, is also on my 21st birthday. So yay, do all of the things. ^^

Hello, few people who still read this. xD As I did last year, I am going to Anthrocon in July. This time, I want something special, something unique. I'm looking to get a con badge made out of wood or leather or metal, or even acrylic, just looking for some type of special material. I've tried to contact a few people here who seem to have done such badges in the past, but nobody has returned any notes or the like, so I'm not sure where to go next.

Well, a bit late, but I think I'm gonna be trying to go to Anthrocon. I know all of...three people, maybe, have me on watch, but I am trying. So contact your friends if possible, tell them a husky is lookin' for some people to room with. Quiet sleeper, only mildly obnoxious, and willing to pay his way. Message me for details.
