See You at the MFF!
Posted 11 years agoShadowKat is looking forward to seeing all this fuzzy family again this year at MFF 2014. Let's end this year on a high note.
Welcome to Chicago, I grew up here, it's my town and we're glad you're here to visit.
Where are you staying?
- The Hyatt
When will you be there?
- Thursday to Monday. I may pop in Wednesday, we'll see. I have the whole week off and may be bored and want to start the party early.
How tall are you?
- 6'5" (1.96m); add 3 to 4 inches (8-10cm) in suit.
Which languages do you speak?
- English, bad english, worse Spanish, poor French and atrocious German. Don't even ask me about my British and Portuguese.
Where will you be most of the time during the day?
- Everywhere.
How can I find you?
- I'm nearly a 7 foot tiger. It shouldn't be that difficult.
Which suit will you have?
- The one plastered all over my gallery :D
Can I take photos of you/with you?
- Yes, but I really like to see them also. I rarely ever see all my photos people take :c
Just note me or email them to me if you want. I won't re-post them without permission, promise.
If I do post them, you will be properly attributed!
Can I talk to you?
- Sure.
Can I touch you? Hug? Snuggle? Cuddle?
- I'm OK with that. I'm a cat. That's what we do. It's our lot in life.
What if I'm not a hugger? Can I high-five/paw-bump you?
- Of course! If hugs aren't your thing I am open to high-fives and paw-bumps!
You're beautiful. I must draw you!
- You said this last year. This still isn't a question.
Can I draw you?
- That's better. Sure -- go for it.
Will you draw for me?
- If you want crooked lines and oddly shaped ovals, I'm your kat! I can also draw my picture.
It looks like this: =^..^=
Can we hang out?
- OK.
Can we go out for a dinner?
- I like food. Be aware, cats don't have thumbs. Or money.
That's sad! Can I give you money?
- I never turn down foldin' money.
Can I buy you lots of drinks?
- Sure! I need to stay hydrated! Ask me what I want though. (It may not be water.)
Can I dance with you?
- If it's an appropriate time and place, yes.
Wanna come upstairs?
- Wait... do you just want to use me for elevator privileges? Fine.
Will you be going to parties?
- If you want me there, let me know when and where, and I'll stop by!
Do you drink Alcohol/Smoke?
- I don't smoke.
What is the best way to contact you?
- I got Twitter this year! Find me @shadowkat2k Aside from that,
Skype (shadowk.at) and Facebook (kat.vanschaduwen) works.
That's about it. If there's anything else I can answer, let me know here or on Twitter! See you soon!!

Anthrocon 2014 ~ Thank You ~
Posted 11 years agoI'm horrible at putting words down, but let it be known that I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my tiggy heart.
A special shout definitely goes to:
--
bycats4cats and 
snapcat and 
thorwhitelegs-- The
ozfurs from 
confurgence in attendance who gave me copious amounts of vodka, then thusly cut me off for drinking so much D:I want a rematch. It was fun drinking with you. One day I hope to come down under.
-- Yuengling Brewery who since 1829 have been making probably the only Lager I'll ever admit to drinking
-- Various restaurants and establishments in Pittsburgh that accepted my "Hugs for Beer and Food" offer.
-- The People of Pittsburgh who may never read this, but: immediately following the 4th of July fireworks, took pictures with me as I strolled up Liberty Street so I could celebrate with them.
-- The visitors to Pittsburgh who also may never read this, but conversed with me at length about the convention. I like to think they left with a better understanding of the Furries.
-- The street artist that painted me. I truly hope someone with the means discovers this man and gives him a leg up in whatever way possible.
-- Everyone else either in attendance or not for accepting this black tiggy. Thank you for your past, present and continued support.
Remember, Anthrocon hasn't ended. It takes a full year for us to rest up before unleashing all our combined energy upon Pittsburgh and having only 4 days to do it.
Thank you again, and see you all again real real soon.

More ado about MFF
Posted 12 years agoWell that was fun. To say I packed a lot of fun in to 4 days would be an understatement.
By the numbers:
From check in to check out.. 95 hours.
Suited approximately 75 hours
Slept (in bed out of suit) 6 hours
Slept (in bed, in suit) 2 hours
Slept (in headless lounge) approx. 1.5 hours.
Gallons (liters) of water drunk: 10 (37 litres)
Hugs given: hundreds
People that hugged me twice because I "smelled so good": at least 50
Ibuprofen taken: only 3!!
Apologies to those I missed or could only spend a few moments with between things. Sometimes I feel a con could be a month of 72 hour days and still not be enough to do everything.
Thank you all for reading and and hope meet up with you again soon~
