In January of 2009, I attended my first Arisia, New England's Largest and most diverse science fiction and fantasy convention. and that year's Arisia was held at the very same Hyatt that hosted the very first Anthro New England. It was at Arisia 2012 that I came across a vendor that was selling oodles of plushies. It was after striking up a conversation with one of the owners that I was able to learn about FurFright, and, later that year, I was able to attend my very first Furcon (Furfright 2009).

At Anthro New England 2015 (ANE) I purchased the last of all four of the skunk plushies
that Dragon's Lair had brought with them (Observe in this photo that all four where still the shelf when this photo was taken). I was excited to think that there might be three other skunks at ANE and was looking forward to meeting them. I was able to discover the identity of two of the skunks. The first, was the girl who purchased the larger one, on the left. If I recall, I think she said she was a mix of fursonas, or didn't really have one. The second was definitely not a skunk: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16374815/

By the way, I did meet, and befriend one other skunk, that was there. I was able to discover him, because he purchased the extra-floofy, mega skunk tail, from another vendor, that I adored! ^!^
