Just don't ask me if I'm a furry.

Re: Went to a Furry Con, AMA
Favorite would be either getting to sing Dreams in Rockband with a pony fursuiter on the guitar, or getting a hug from a red panda of some sort. First fursuiter I hugged, which I let him know, and he was happy to have earned that honor. Really I didn't do a whole ton or attend any panels, but tabling, talking to people, and just watching the crowd was good fun.Perrydotto wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:16 amWhat was your favorite and least favorite thing that happened?
Least favorite part would be the cyborg wolf who hung around the table for a bit talking about making his own line-art and wanting to recycle me.

Re: Went to a Furry Con, AMA
Sorry but this isn't a question so I have no obligation to respond to it.
It was fun! You'd get people who have been to the con wondering what the dates are, people who had heard of it but never attended, and people who had never heard of it at all. Since we were right next to the main event hall we got to see a lot of multicolored passer-bys, and also answered a lot of basic questions like "Where is registration?" The answer was about 20 feet away from us. We sold a little bit of merchandise, mostly posters, but a badge or two and a couple of shirts as well. Other than that it was mainly just engaging with people, talking about whatever they wanted to ask.
Did see a guy I knew from high school who came up and used my real name which was disorienting. He's a deer now.

Re: Went to a Furry Con, AMA
So I take it you were a volunteer for the convention, or did you sell your own stuff/help a friend sell stuff?
Would you go again next year?
Also rad to hear about the guy from high school. Truly, furries are everywhere.

I'm glad you were able to sell a few badges for BC. There's definitely more to get hyped about now than there was back at MAG.

Volunteer for Bronycon, selling their swag and hyping their hype. I'd probably go again next year since it's in the area along with some other Bronycon staff. Really I'm eager to go to any con I can!Perrydotto wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:50 amSo I take it you were a volunteer for the convention, or did you sell your own stuff/help a friend sell stuff?

And yeah, the high school friend said he was an ex-furry back in highschool. That liar.

He had little openings on the inside of his forearms so he could roll back his sleeves (hooves) and use those useful human appendages.
Not that I saw, sorry!
There were a lot of foxes and they all said different things, but the phrase "awoo" came up a lot.

Hard for me, expert for the pony. Expert vocals requires you to be too robotic.Davyinatoga wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 2:47 pmWhat difficulty level were you singing on? And the pony on the guitar?
Same.
Probably this energy drink I got for free:
It smelled like all kinds of chemicals. Almost sulfurous.

Re: Went to a Furry Con, AMA
In a fursuit, what part of the head did people look out of most of the time? Did anybody try to create theirs so that they could see out of both eyes?

Re: Went to a Furry Con, AMA
yes; generally it depends, some look through the eyes, some look through a covered mesh part between the eyes, and some look through the mouth
in my experience the mesh option is particularly popular

Bats are totally weird. Flying rats with sonar.
But I meant just one of the deer or dogs with wings.
