Single snow leopard in Sabre Springs, San Diego (say that ten times fast!). Looking for fun and furends in the greater SoCal area. Not really into sports, but I love the outdoors. I'm a computer engineer/software engineer, so I don't tend to get outside as much as I'd like, but I always have fun when I do. I enjoy every chance I get to visit natural spaces, and I'm passionate about wildlife conservation, environmental causes, and progressive politics. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, camping, adventuring, skiing, national parks, theme parks, disc golf, tennis, bouldering, rafting, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, sailing, and beach days. My indoor interests include PC gaming, staying abreast of AI/tech/science news, investing, furry artwork and fursuit photos, reading furry webcomics, watching science stuff like Kurzgesagt, Linux, programming, robotics, and tinkering with microcontrollers/electronics. While furry fandom is my main space, I am also intrigued by other fantasy fandoms like Ren Faire, cosplay, and steampunk to a lesser extent.
While I haven't kept up in recent years, I have previously enjoyed reading furry comics online including my favorites: TwoKinds, Caribbean Blue, Broken Plot Device, Lackadaisy, Furry Experience, Freefall, and Faux Pas. I initially discovered the furry fandom around 2006 when I was in undergrad, but didn't really get involved until after attending my first con, Califur 2011.
I got a decent camera (Canon EOS Rebel T5i DSLR) just before FC2014 to take better photos at cons and on trips. I still have much to learn about photography, but I do enjoy it.

Fursuits:
I received my first fursuit commission, a realistic snow leopard partial, from at FurtherConfusion 2014. I've done a good amount of fursuiting since then and enjoy it a lot! List of suits as of 2023:
1) Joran - realistic snow leopard partial commissioned from
FeralFacade - received at FC 2014
2) Kazer - blue redpanda plantigrade fullsuit by the former
SunnyValleyCreations - bought used, literally on my way to FC 2018
3) [unnamed] lion - toony head from
Twistedleopard that I wear with my lion fleecesuit - bought new on TheDealersDen in April 2020
4) Mara - realistic amur leopardess from
SBGothik - bought new on TheDealersDen in February 2022
5) [unamed] liger or tiger - toony digitigrade fullsuit from
Temperance - bought used on TheDealersDen February 2023
I'm always looking to meet new friends or go somewhere fun, so drop me a message! Also looking for a mate, so if any lady furs are reading this, please say hi! Best way to reach me is JoranZeno on telegram. Anyone can also ask me (anonymously even) anything you want to know at: http://ask.fm/joranzeno
I often play The Elder Scrolls Online on the NA server, so hit me up if you are on there - I would love to have more fur friends on there.

BLFC meme (at BLFC!) (G)
12 years ago
I originally attempted to post this using the Foxtech FA app while at the con but I guess it just submitted a blank journal...
I meant to do it earlier at home, but better late than never, right?
Hotel:
Main con hotel, Grand Sierra Resort
Arrival/Departure:
Arriving on the first flight out of San Diego early Friday morning.
Leaving on the last flight back Sunday night.
Means of transportation:
Southwest Airlines (paid $208)
Sharing a room with:
My furry coworker ZotCoon and his furry-friendly girlfriend.
Who do you hang out with?
Well in actuality, I hung out with Limin and Shuffles a little bit such as for "The Breakfast Club" and fursuit go-kart tourney.
Most of the rest of the time I hung out with Calico, Heather, TacoTiger, Bree, and Lakota.
Are you a Fursuiter?
Yep! Look for my realistic snow leopard partial made by Eddie-ka :D
Do you drink?
Yep! I prefer cocktails, but I'll drink most anything.
Can I buy you a drink?
Generally I'd rather buy it myself, but if that's your way of saying thanks for something then Ok.
Do you smoke?
Absolutely not.
Are you attending any panels?
TBD, but probably a few.
Actuality: only panels I attended were "The Breakfast Club", and part of the casino gaming 101 panel.
How can I find you?
Look for my realistic snow leopard partial fursuit since I hope to be suiting a good portion of the time.
Send me a tweet on the twitter @JoranZeno, or send me an email joranzeno@gmail.com, or if you are one of the few that has my phone number then text me.
What's your goal for the con this year?
1) Hang out with a whole bunch of people; make some fun memories and some new friends.
2) Take lots of photos with my camera. Pose in lots of photos with other fursuiters and friends.
3) Gamble for the first time, since last time I was in Nevada I was just a kid. Probably gonna try blackjack and some slots.
4) Maybe try some other firsts too like go-karting in fursuit? Or bidding on art in the art auction.
Gender:
Male
Preference:
Straight
Relationship Status:
Single, interested in meeting all you lovely furry ladies :3
How old are you?
28
How tall are you?
6'1"
Are you an Artist?
No, just I wish I was.
Attending parties?
Yes! I'll probably be wearing my "I Came to Party!" Con Bro Chill T-shirt (actuality: didn't wear that shirt until Sunday).
Stage or public performance?
Nah, I'm too new at this and tend to shy away from the limelight.
How do I identify myself to you?
Say hello and introduce yourself, but also show me your badge so I know how you spell your name and particularly because I'm a visual person and far more likely to remember your name if I see it printed.
Rules of engagement (physical contact)?
Ask me first.
Can I talk to you?
Yea, isn't that kinda the point of a convention?
Can I give you lots of money?
If you win the lottery or some big payout, alright, I guess I could take it off your hands if you don't know what to do with it, haha.
Can I give you stuff?
Sure, I might even have something to trade in return.
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
I will almost always accept hugs unless you stink or something. Snuggles with females only.
Can I come to dinner with you?
Quite possibly, just ask me.
Can I hang out with you?
Sure! I know you wanna hang too!
Can I take your picture?
If I'm fursuiting and have all my paws and stuff on, then generally yes, please do (and post/link me to the photos afterwards!). Otherwise, please get my attention first to ask permission.
How do I know if you're not looking to socialize?
This should be very rare, but I'll try to make it obvious.
Personality Type?
INTJ I think, but I try hard to act more extroverted at conventions.
Are you nice?
Almost always.
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Get in front of me, say Joran!, or tap me on the arm.

I definitely need to get some artwork. Since I don\'t have reference art I was waiting on my suit to get art :D
Although perhaps I could work on something that\'s not my fursona for the short term.
