punktigerYup... Air Conditioning! There's nothing like the refreshing feeling of coolness on a hot summer's day. The miracle of freon is one... huh? Not air conditioning? Well then what...? Oh!
Anthrocon! There's nothing like the refreshing feeling of coolness on a hot summer's day. The miracle of R134a is... What now??
Yeah, yeah, old joke. I'll be making a rare (these days) appearance at AC this year, as it'll be the first time in 7 years that I've attended.
So, what can you expect from me there? Absolutely nothing! No lame-o "air guitar" fursuit performances, no half-arsed attempts at singing "Rock And Roll All Night" accompanied by an Autoharp, not even outbidding The Gneech on Vince Suzukawa's artwork in the Charity Auction! No, I'll just be some old, limping fat man wandering around the con making people whisper "who's that old fat weirdo with the flat cap and Hawaiian shirt? Best not make eye contact with him!"
Although, if you DO recognize me, please make a proper introduction. I'm totally useless at remembering names and faces. Coming up to me out of the blue and saying "Hi Punk! Remember me?" will be rewarded with a horrified look while my mind goes "Oh shit! Who is this person?? I don't know this guy from Adam, yet he knows me... Quick, look for a name badge or something... DAMN his badge is flipped over... Uhh... Uhhh...." then try to start up a conversation using terms like "Hey, guy, it's been a long time," or "Dude! It's been ages" and not once using your name BECAUSE I'M GARBAGE WITH NAMES AND FACES!! Making me play the Guessing Game with you is flat-out cruel to me, so please don't do that. I haven't seen many of you since FurFright 2013 (if you attended that con) or longer, so please don't be insulted if I don't remember you; it's just the way my brain works (or in this case, doesn't work).
So there you have it. I'll be around AC for the duration doing my own thing. See you there!
