Every so often a pic gets taken that is so epic it just blows me away. This is one of those pics. It has instantly rocketed to one of my top favorite pics of me in my fursuit. And the history behind this pic makes it even better!
How it happened: I was walking out of the Westin Hotel, during AC2014, and one of the cab drivers asked to take my picture. Of course, I said "Sure!". And then I had a brainstorm: I asked the cab driver if I could take a picture in his cab. He replied. "Sure!" This magical pic was the result, snapped by Growly, who luckily was standing right there and offered to record this amazing moment.
The backstory: A little known fact about me is that I drove a cab in Philadelphia many years ago, right when I graduated from college. It was only for one summer, and it was so I could earn some money for my upcoming move to California. It was a tough job, and permanently ruined my driving habits. :)
But I have many stories from my adventures as a cab driver. I was telling one story about how I swore I wouldn't yell out the window of my cab, like all cabbies seem to do. That promise to myself lasted all of two days! :)
Mike Folf, aka
simmer overheard all this and offered to do a taxi themed badge for me. This was the wonderful result of that impromptu commission:

When the photo op in the cab occurred in Pittsburgh, I tried to imitate the position that Mike had me in, in the badge. The only thing is, it's almost impossible to appear angry in my fursuit!
So, art imitates life, imitates art. And this pic goes down in history as one of my all time favorites.
