Reporter alert: Markham Street Films Inc./Fanboy Confessions
Posted 14 years agoYeah, as if the name doesn't tip you off already.
The lady politely asked via flickr e-mail to use certain photos in her documentary and for an interview. Her selection was interesting, she pointed out only the photos of murrsuits in my collection and didn't bother to research which suit was mine. She said she was with the Canadian complementary to SyFy channel and wanted to do a light hearted documentary with "no negative portrayal".
I asked Uncle Kage about this, he said that she has contacted them before, and she seems to be looking for a "shlub" to take an interview.
I was approached at the last Furfright like this. This was a lady reporter asking for pictures outside the hotel. I politely refused, and this line threw her completely off: "I've personally been at several conventions where they said what you said, then used none of the material we gave them, but just invented their own material". She did NOT respond by addressing reporter integrity, she kept doing this act where she was rifling through her purse for something and saying "we want to shine a positive light on you".
I used this line again here, in the form of a simple polite refusal, and said she could speak with me personally if she contacted me through Anthrocon staff in-person at Anthrocon. Which at this point I doubt will happen.
Anyway, just an FYI everyone. Don't talk to the Perly! You'll S*** a brick when you read her story about you!

Furries and the press
Posted 14 years agoRight then, furries, this is the reasonable way of doing things:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOrALGclg78
The only exception is to remember that in Briton, Taxi drivers need two years of school, and professional press like the one in the video need analogous skills and education, while American press is from a University system which guarantees anyone a degree who isn't too stoned and drunk to not show up for class, just a matter of which degree, and "communications" is at the bottom of the heap.
Therefore, you research the reporters before you consent to an interview, THEN you conduct yourself in an affirmative manner like the ones in this video. do NOT conduct yourself in an NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT NOT PERVERT manner (wait, I just did the not thing? that's not affirmative... wait I said not affirmative, I mean... dammit) You paint an affirmative picture on a blank slate, like Kage and 2 does.

Random article popped on my Windows Live Messenger

http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/my-.....it-fetish.html
Searching, I didn't see anything really constructive posted on FA.
This is an TLC article on a fursuiter.
"My Strange Addiction: Fur Suit Fetish"
It's something. The article is fine, just showing Lauren going in public in fursuit. She describes how she created Kiira (not Kira), and says fursuiting cheers her up on down days and makes her less shy. Her mother says her daughter was always creative, and one day she asked her to buy fur for her latest creative project. That's it. The reporters then wedged the words "addiction" and "obsessed" in a splash-captions, and the word "fetish" is wedged in the title. Really, wedged.
Reporters work so hard to keep the meme going. Lauren and her mother did great to show something light and cheerful, I'm sure they were disappointed to see the article come out with the word "fetish" just tacked on like a bad glue gun job. (Not only that, Bing's bad keyword linking thingie posts articles about things like robot fetishes, hair eating addictions, Lauren the Bodybuilder, and a toddler swimSUIT competition.)
If you're at cons when Uncle Kage and 2 the Ranting Gryphon do their "Furries and the Media", go. They have story after story about how ridiculously hard reporters will work. It's awesome, I've seen two versions, they get better and more hilarious every time they do it.
I was approached by a reporter at Furfright while I was in-suit. This was outside the hotel, she had no escort. She introduced herself as someone from MSNBC.com, and asked for a picture. I simply shook my head no. She started digging through her purse while talking with me, saything something about how she "tried to contact us and didn't get an answer", and how she wanted to portray furries "correctly". I said I'd heard reporters say that before, I personally was at three conventions where I saw reporters interview us, and in every case they used none of the material we gave them and instead showed clips from MTV and CSI. She kept talking to me calmly and doing that deceptive purse-dig, but she cringed a bit and slowed down, my words obviously had an effect on her. She ran out of things to say, so I went inside and told staff. I saw her get brought in, then after about ten minutes escorted out by three staffers.
The number three for reporter-furry incidents was a white lie, I've seen this happen only at Texas Furry Fiesta 2010. I saw what the reporters got, I saw how "nice" they were to us, then I saw the article afterwards. They just stripped out almost everything we gave them, then stuck in the MTV fursuit yiff footage, which took more than half of the video in the article. They also related "how strictly we controlled their interviews", turning that against us much like a "no comment" response.
The other two reporter incidents were personal non-furry related incidents friends of mine had, also times when we gave them one thing and what was printed was totally different.
Real reporting is based on relationships with individual reporters. Those relationships take time to build. Reporters compete agressively, even within their own company (read: backstab). That's why events require registration, and registration closes a month or more before the event, so con staff and other officials have time to do a background check on the reporter, do personal interviews with the reporter, as well as plan the reporter's tour.
Every event, EVERY event, professional, trade show, anime con, has a registration process for the press. Anyone wandering around outside and playing dumb about "how they tried to contact us" is skirting this process. That lady at Furfright was likely a newbie reporter being sent on the reporter's version of a landlubber's mission, like fetching a bucket of steam or 100 yards of shoreline. "Oh, do the furry fetish, that should be easy for you. What? You got nothing? You can't cut it in our shop, sorry." I'm guessing, but it would make sense.
I think Lauren and her mom did fine. I can only speculate on the internals at TLC. To me it looks like some well-intentioned recorders put something nice together, but were likely pressured by someone upstairs, "we need something to bring them in, else we can't publish this" or something stupid like that. Enter the words addiction and fetish. Total speculation, but makes sense.

FC Room Share at Fairmont, R-M
Posted 15 years agoI roomed with a full house at MFF and it was both a relief on my budget and fun to have people to come home to, I hope I can do that again.
I have a Deluxe room, if I can get a full four people I could split the cost at $205 total. I'm booked from Thursday night thru Sunday night checking out Monday afternoon.
I'm considering the option of being on a standby for a suite, which they sell at a super discount. If so, we'd get a suite for anywhere from $9-$29 extra per night (total, not per person). The math is a bit complicated, basically it would be $210 OR LESS total, maybe a bit less than the original deluxe room... I'm taking out a rollaway bed and putting in the suite price in that cost.
PM me here please!

MFF Recap
Posted 15 years agoI won't say much here. I felt like I had three cons, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, one con each. A fantastic time in all! And too much to mention in a journal post. MFF, you've always been great to me, three years in a row.
Thanks to
dmk for being the greatest host and picker of roommates, and 
kamber for another fantastic Dead Horse party!
Thanks to
dmk for being the greatest host and picker of roommates, and 
kamber for another fantastic Dead Horse party!AC recap
Posted 15 years agoSeems a lot of people post their AC experiences here, thought it would feel good to recap.
Drove from home on Thursday and got into a fender-bender on the 270 northbound, just outside DC. Had to make phone calls to insurance companies while at the con, but the end story: we both changed lanes at the same time and did a perfect Dukes of Hazard style side-bump. We have minor dents and scuffs, and we both claimed contributory liability. Nicest fender bender you could possibly have.
I'm stoked that AC is now "only" driving distance away from me. It's a pleasant run between cities.
Drove in late Thursday night, unpacked at the Doubletree, and took the walk to the Westin to get a feel for the walk between hotels and the con itself. Ran into
rabbitinthemoon and 
jadaira in-suit, 
blazger, and FrostElf. Also found the cool crew around 
Springdale, as well as the brit in the Furball fursuit and crew, thanks for the beer! Also met an insomniac 
onai. Later ran into 
Thumpie_Bunny_Eve in-suit, amazing. Slept a little too well through Friday, and on top of that the insurance companies started to call, so I had to make those phone calls, didn't get to the hotel until after 5, barely in time to register. Went in-suit. I realized that on the long walk between the DoubleTree and the Westin that I was stopping traffic :) Made it to the femme photo shoot, as well as the dance, other than that I just browsed and talked to people. Thanks
popabear for one fun shot with me and the girls. Some mundanes came to observe the shoot, and I still in-suit went into ambassador mode. Their reaction was amazement at the detail in the work, and their questions were of open interest, very nice.Saturday I had an early start. Went in-suit. I made a panel on "Making your fursuit live", as well as one on character development by a person who has worked on-staff for Sesame Street for decades. Picked up my badge from
xianjaguar in-suit, thank you so much, this is my first "real" furry badge, and it's great! Made it in time for the parade with a good rest at headless just before. I started late and lagged way behind everyone because of this, and overheated a bit since I was rushing to keep up. Everyone's reactions in the audience was fantastic, and, having seen myself on Youtube already, I like how I look even walking. For future parades, I'll probably start early and wander from side to side interacting with the audience, letting everyone pass. A Dorsai helped me to the picture after helping me get something to drink, and I de-headed and rested well right after the picture.The rest of Saturday I browsed leisurely, had a barbecue with
rabbitinthemoon and crew, made the masquerade, Kage's story hour, and the dance. De-suited completely and kept Garnac on fans for an hour before the dance. One thing about not having that room at the faraway Doubletree, there's really no point in going back for anything, I was forced to deal with the suit at the con space. Got back in suit for the dance, then I went for a few drinks at Tonic Grill, some mundane women hit on me :) Hung with 
vitani and crew a bit. Later outside I ran into Zatuichi who remembered me well from Second Life and was highly eager to meet me. Someone pulled up in a car as we were talking, and as the driver was trying to park, a woman disposed of a lit cigarette out the window unconsciously in my direction. I had my head in my lap, and said, "I'm rather flamable miss", but got NO response at all from any of the two men and two women in the car. Then the guy passenger drank some beer from a 24 ounce glass. Nice. They were trying to find a space to parallel park, and I kept staring right at them as they drove back and forth. Then they seemed to realize what was going on around them, and drove off, but this just as a police car drove onto the street. I flagged the cop down and pointed them gesturing "drink", the cop drove up to me and I gave a brief description, he took off after them. Yay.
Sunday was another late start per the drink and need for sleep. Suited after checking out of the hotel, and ate a goodbye dinner with
rabbitinthemoon and 
Rydell382, and suited a bit in the hotel. Almost killed myself by suiting in that humid weather and walking from the parking garage. Later, my ticket was demagnetized, already worn out I walked all over the huge greyhound buss station just trying to find someone to deal with the ticket per the misdirection of a greyhound clerk, the machines buttons didn't work and wouldn't let me pay the $12 "lost ticket" fee, and I couldn't communicate well with any guards nor the guy behind the "help" button speaker at the machine. Took me a full hour to get out of the garage and I was heat exhausted. On the drive home I had two large McD's shakes to recover from this, and I'm still craving protein more than 24 hours later.One regret I have is not having enough vacation days to spend more time. Seems I spent too many days, as well as too much money, on two or three days at other cons when I could have had a better time at AC if I spent Wednesday through Monday there. I'll budget myself much more wisely next time.
Thanks for the great time everyone!

Posted 16 years agoI thought I posted an "FC is a go" a while back, I guess I didn't!
I haven't made any roommate plans, so last-minute requests are okay, as long as I know you.
No fursuit yet! Strangelove and G-man will come. I tried on Loki Dragon on a whim at MFF briefly, quite enjoyable! Would anyone have a spare?

The Music and Gaming Festival. http://magfest.org/ This is a small, obscure con that for whatever reason I discovered many furs I know, some live far away, are going. I'll leave it to them to reveal themselves.
What can I expect there? How should I prepare? What weapons and rations do I bring?

MFF Post-con: great friends and chill time! Need pics!
Posted 16 years agoUnlike last year, where Wolf MacLeod gave me a fantastic tour of the fandom and I took massive pictures and videos, this time I chilled out with the many people I new who went. If you didn't see me, it was likely because I was getting glomps and vodka from them in their room.
I did parade as Dr. Strangelove.
If you took pictures of me, I'd love them! I need to make up for my flickr fail!
Loved Whose Lion is it Anyway, thank you Semjay and Alkali for a fantastic production! Also thanks to Alkali (not as much Semjay on this one :) ) for Lupus in Tabula. I really hope you two can extend both these features to other cons.

Goooood mornin' DC!
Posted 16 years agoYay, I've moved to the Washington, DC area. Specifically, Alexandria, VA. Just started a new job as of last Monday with the government.
This means I'm a shorter distance away from two great big furcons and many, many more little ones!
So what's a fur to do in DC, besides risk a class 6 felony charge by masking in public?

AC is a bust
Posted 16 years agoThings turned for the worse for me financially over March and April. They're turning around now, but not fast enough for me to count on a trip to AC.
Shame, AC09 would be my one-year anniversary of furry con-going. I feel like I should go to make up for how tepid I was at my first furcon. I also really looked forward to having G-man appear at the zOMG Aliens! theme year.
Many of my new furry friends feel the same way. But those same friends are talking about taking large trip to Corpus Christi. That should make up for the huge con gap between now and MFF, and be less expensive.
See you all at MFF!
