Anthrocon First Timer!
Posted 12 years agoBorrowed from 
Soboku (and slightly modified)
Where are you staying?
The Doubletree
When will you be arriving and leaving?
Arriving on the 4th and departing on the 7th
How are you traveling?
Flying the Friendly Skies!
Who will you be rooming with?
Um... I... don't know? With at least 2 other people, maybe 3 or more? I should probably research this.
Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Almost certainly attending con events. A partial listing of places I might be found:
On Friday: Fursuit Fun & Games and/or First Time Fursuiting; Intro to Fursuiting; 2's Rant
On Saturday: Fursuit Parade; Fursuit Team Games (likely as a spectator unless someone is desperately looking for a teammate); Duke's video shoot
On Sunday: 'Look Left' concert (nothing says '10AM on Sunday morning' like a rock concert!)
What/where will you be eating?
I... have no idea? Never been to Pittsburgh before so for all I know I could be dining at McDonald's every night. Or I might mix it up and hit Wendy's. Recommendations welcome!
Will you be having a room party?
Very unlikely!
Will you be drinking and/or getting drunk?
Probably not, unless I get my paws on some sort of strawberry cider or Mike's Hard Strawberry Lemonade. Then all bets are off.
PERSONAL STUFF:
What is your gender?
Male
How tall are you?
6'2"-ish
If I approach you, will you chat with me?
Maybe? I'm reluctant to talk in suit because of the whole 'breaking the illusion' thing but if you're insistent I'll probably crack
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
'Trem!' or 'Tremelo!' should do the trick
How many furry conventions have you attended?
A lot? *counts on clawtips* Probably 10-15 or so?
Do you own a fursuit?
Yus!
PERMISSIONS:
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
I'm happy to give hugs out as long as I can see ya coming. You can ask for a hug but the universal hug sign of outstretched arms will probably do.
How can I find you?
If I'm suiting it'll be pretty easy: Tall cat with gray-scale colour palette, striking blue eyes, may be wearing a vest. If I'm out of suit it's going to be a lot harder in part because my badge doesn't say 'Tremelo' and in part because out of suit I'm only about 5'4"
Can I buy you drinks?
Maaaaybe. A good cider or lemonade-based-alcoholic drink could be tempting, but I tend to be a dedicated driver / walker / sleeper.
Can I visit your room?
Only during scheduled tour times.
Can I look in your sketchbook?
I has no sketchbook :(
Can I draw in your sketchbook?
See above
Can I take your picture?
As long as I'm not committing a felony when you do.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Do you do do free art, trades, commissions, badges?
I'm really not much of an artist unless you like stick figures
Do you have a table in the Artist Alley / Dealer's Den or a panel in the Art Show?
Nope!
Do you plan to volunteer?
I don't plan on it but I wouldn't be adverse to it!
See ya there! Or not!

101 Random Things about Me
Posted 12 years agoOriginally lifted from 
Kartfox but he took his down so I guess I'll credit 
kairensky
1. Had sex? Yeah. Badly.
2. Bought Condoms? Yes
3. Gotten somebody Pregnant? Not that I know of.
4. Failed A Class? Yes. The sad thing is the only class I ever failed was one that all I had to do was show up once a week and listen to professors talk about different engineering disciplines. No quizzes, no exams, no finals, just don't miss more than 2 lectures. I stopped going halfway through the semester.
5. Kissed A Boy? Yeah. Badly.
6. Kissed A Girl? Yeah. Badly.
7. Used A Little Paper Bag for Lunch? Yes
8. Had A Job? Yes. Still do even!
9. Slipped On Ice? Slipped, yes. Fell, no. I may be clumsy but cats always land on their feet.
10. Missed The School Bus? N/A. Never took the school bus
11. Fucked a girl? Yeah. Badly.
12. Bullied Someone On The Internet? Not intentionally.
13. Sexted? Yeah. Badly. (Seeing a theme here?)
14. Sex In Public? No. Nobody wants to see that.
15. Played On A Sports Team? I love sports, but I wasn't exceptionally good at playing them. Too skinny for baseball, too fragile for football, too uncoordinated for soccer. I was okay at basketball though because I was tall.
16. Smoked Weed? Only if you count second hand smoking at concerts
17. Smoked Cigarettes? A couple times but couldn't figure out how to look 'cool' while holding the cigarette. I ended up looking like a 6 year old clutching at a soda straw.
18. Smoked A Cigar? No
19. Drank Alcohol? Yes
20. Watched porn? Today? Or ever? Um. I guess it doesn't matter. Yes
21. Skipped class? Yes
22. Gotten Arrested? No
23. Done meth? Nah, caffeine is my stay-wired drug of choice
24. Been To A Wedding? Yes
25. Fell in love with a best friend? No
26. Been On The Computer For 5 Hours Straight? Yes. Damn you Everquest, Left4Dead, and Second Life.
27. Watched TV For 5 Hours Straight? Yes. Damn you Walking Dead marathon.
28. Been Late For Work? Yes, which is sad because I currently work from home.
29. Been Late For School? Yes, but not often.
30. Kissed In The Rain? No. But kissed inside when it was raining outside. Does that get me partial credit?
31. Showered With Someone Else? Showered in the vicinity of someone else but not "with" someone else.
32. Failed My Drivers Test? No
33. Cheated on an ex? No
34. Been Outside My Home Country? Yes. Been to 4 continents even!
35. Been On A Road Trip Longer Than 5 Hours? Yes.
36. Had Lice? No
37. Gotten My Heart Broken? Multiple times. It's just a squishy little mess now.
38. Had A Credit Card? Maybe had too many of them.
39. Been To A Professional Sports Game? Go Colts! And Red Wings! And... cars that go fast!
40. Broken A Bone? Yes
41. Am I BI/Gay/Lesbian? If I answered 'Yes' to #5 and #6 I guess I'm obligated to say: Maybe?
42. Won A Trophy? Yes
43. Cut Myself Unintentionally? I would like to know if anyone has EVER answered 'No' to this question.
44. Had An STD.? No
45. Got Engaged? No
46. Done ecstasy? No
47. Tried Out To Be On A TV Show? I debated trying out for the Amazing Race, but realized nobody would want to watch a quiet guy who never says anything controversial or inflammatory on TV
48. Rode In A Taxi? Yes
49. Been To Prom? No
50. Played A Drinking Game? No
51. Stayed Up For 24 Hours Or More? If I haven't, I've been really close. Like, 23 hours.
52. Been To A Concert? Many.
53. Had A Three-Some? Only if you count 'Me, Myself, and I'
54. Had A Crush On Someone Of The Same Sex? 'Crush' is a strong word. Maybe whatever word would be a notch or two below that.
55. Been In A Car Accident? Yes. It was school spirit week and it was 'Nerd Day' and I was dressed up to the hilt with about 30 pens in my shirt pocket, hair slicked back, pant bottoms 3" above my shoes, penny loafers (with pennies!) and a really horrid plaid shirt. Yeah, *that* was the day I got in a minor fender bender.
56. Had Braces? No
57. Learned Another Language? Nur ein Bisschen.
58. Killed An Animal? On accident. I hadn't had my drivers license for more than a week and was driving with my brother and a friend when we passed by some joggers. 'SUZIE NO!' they said. 'Wha huh?' I said. *THUMP THUMP* the car went. 'Ha ha!' my friend said. 'Oh no' I said. In my defense I was driving into the sun on an oil-slicked road, and their small dog came running out into the street at an angle, making it impossible to see. I stopped and went over to the joggers to apologize. Perhaps the most helpess feeling I've ever felt. The wife was forgiving and consoling, the husband probably would have punched me into oblivion if his wife hadn't been there.
59. Been At A Yard Sale? Yes, though I really don't know how this question made the cut onto the survey.
60. Been To A Japanese Steakhouse? If Bennihana counts, then yes. Otherwise no.
61. Wore Make Up? Only for Halloween
62. Talked To Someone Via Webcam? Yes. Once. Turns out it the only difference between that and a phone call is that if I'm on the phone I can get bored and secretly watch TV without the person on the other end of the line noticing.
63. Lost My Virginity Before I Was 16? No
64. Had My Wisdom Teeth Taken Out? Yes, but I only had 2. I guess that makes me a half-wit. *rimshot*
65. Kissed Someone A Different Race Than Myself? Not yet.
66. Snuck Out Of The House? Yes
67. Bought Porn? Why buy it when you can get it for free?
68. Had A Virus On My Computer? Yes
69. Had Oral Sex? Yeah. Badly.
70. Dyed My Hair? Sort of. I used 'Sun-In' a few times. Ended up looking like I had a sunburst on top of my head. Not a particularly good look.
71. Gone Skinny Dipping? No
72. Graduated From College? Yup! In only 5 years!
73. Wore Someone Else’s Clothes? Once or twice, but I prefer my own threads.
74. Voted In A Presidential Election? Every one I've been eligible for.
75. Rode In An Ambulance? Most expensive ride of my life. $450 to go 2 miles.
76. Rode In A Helicopter? No.
77. Caught The Stove On Fire? Isn't a stove supposed to be on fire?
78. Got In A Verbal Fight? Yeah
79. Met Someone Famous? Not really. I've been in the same house as Joel Hodgson of MST3K fame, but I might have said like 4 words the whole time and I'm sure he forgot about me before I even walked out the door.
80. Been On Vacation? Yes
82. Been On A Boat? Yes. Though my stomach doesn't like boats very much.
81. Been On An Airplane? I love planes and have been on a lot of them but I hate to fly. Ironic?
83. Broken Something Expensive? Yes
84. Had Surgery? Yeah. Lousy lung.
85. Beat A Video Game? Oh yeah!
86. Found Something Valuable On The Ground? Does a $20 bill count as valuable?
87. Made A Survey? Of land? Of opinion? In both cases: No.
88. Stalked Someone On A Social Network? Define 'stalking'? I've tracked a few people down on Facebook, but not for their relationship status or their updates. Just for their home addresses in case I wanted to rob them ;).
89. Prank Called Someone? No. I'm not that clever.
90. Been To A Library Outside Of School? Yeah. Me and my buddy worked at a public library while in college. On the application where they asked 'How many words per minute can you type?' my friend wrote 'Not very many.' At the time I just laughed and laughed and laughed at that, but in retrospect it's not really that funny.
91. Spent Over $100 Shopping In One Day? Way too often
92. Cut My Hair And Hated It? No. Had a few I mildly disliked but that's what baseball caps are for.
93. Peed Outside? Only when camping.
94. Went Fishing? Yes. Once we used Cheerios as bait. Cheerios! And the fish loved it! At the time we thought General Mills should use this fact in their advertising. We were 8 years old at the time and didn't realize 'Fish eat Cheerios too!' would do nothing for sales.
95. Helped With Charity? Yes
96. Taken A Pregnancy Test? Not exactly applicable.
97. Been Rejected By A Crush? Can't get rejected if you never ask 'em out, right?
98. Been Suspended From School? No. Got in trouble for Senior Skip Day but that just required all the seniors to come in and clean the school on a Saturday which ended up just being another party (though one that involved vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers and mops; Not quite as fun as the one with the hot tub and the volleyball games)
99. Broken a mirror? I don't *think* so, but maybe I did and don't remember. Sure would explain a years-long bout of bad luck.
100. Thrown up on someone? Ugh. Yes. Very embarrassing. And it wasn't even from partying too hard. I was just a 1st grader who waited too long to ask if he could be excused to go to the bathroom. Still feel bad for the kid who happened to be in my way.
101. Lied to your parents? Not so much outright lied as much as lied by ommission ('Why do I go to San Jose every January?... Um... To... Hang out with some friends!')

2013 Travel Schedule
Posted 12 years agoLessee... Where am I going this year... I saw San Jose back in January (Further Confusion - Happened!). I've been told there's nothing finer than Pittsburgh in July (Anthrocon - Registered & Booked!) and it'd be silly for me to not hang out in a nice mountain habitat at some point (Rocky Mountain Fur Con - Registered!). Anyplace else? Seattle's awfully nice in the fall (Rainfurrest - Maybe!)... And so is Chicago (MFF - Most likely!).
Looks like it's gonna be a busy 2013...
