Yeah, what he said. I went through a few decks of Magic in years past and thought it was allright, but it never had much overall appeal for me.

I quit MtG after how expensive it got.
I did run a White/Red Legendary deck for a period of time. Worked great. Then the Ravnica set came out...
I'm sorry, but buying a Poker set is much cheaper.

permalinkI play MtG somewhat... Been years since I actually dusted off my deck...
I have my old old Red/Black
Also have a newer Blue/Black Precon...
But sadly I've forgotten how to play...

Like my namesake suggests, I am very much a follower of the Pokemon Brand, and I am quite active in the Trading Card Game. Shall I bring some decks?

yeah, actually myself and a few others were talking about it in passing on another thread. No idea where, but yeah....
anyways, I planned to go get a bite to eat before starting up with the volunteerness. If any of you folks want to set something up, id be happy to show up. Ill be arriving at about 7AM, which will leave me plenty of time to get something to eat, walk around for about an hour with some furs, scare the locals, and then return to the con long before it hits 10AM and the major volunteering begins with the dealers room and art show(Tshirt folding is plenty of fun).
Anyone else planning on arriving that early and want to set soemthing up?

I plan on arriving on the 3rd and leaving on the 10th, giving me a full week to do things down there before Anthrocon starts, and after it ends. What kind of stuff did you have in mind?

This'll be my first AC... Actually, my first fur Con atall, and only the second con I'll have been to. (Been to Owlcon in Houston a few times)
I'm worried I'm not gonna have a lotta fun, tho. ^^; I'm going to be spending most all of the four days behind a dealer's table... -_- *sigh* This all seems so complicated. =^^=

permalinkYour first fur con, oh my! I remember my first AC, I was only able to attend one day. If I had known then what I know now I would have made the whole weekend. Your in fur quite a treat, AC is massive. I dream about AC every day, and night. In heaven I pray there is anthrocon 24/7 365.

Hi, This is also my first year going. I would also like to meet up with some other furs, 'cause i'm lousy at having fun alone. So if anyone would like to meet up, I'll probably show up the first day, but probably won't wear my fur until the second day, but i'll have it with me, just in case. If I do, it'll be a renamon with pink hair, goggles, and shorts. Hope to see some of you!

ill be there, it will be my 5th year going to AC and ive been to the con in pitts during this past year, so im familiar with the layout. I can post my AIM messenger here, and let some of you have my cell number later on, but its only to be used to get ahold of me. Dont use it for conversation. I dont got much minutes with my plan and I generally dont even like to talk on a phone anyways. I just use it to get into contact with people at meets and cons.
my AIM is eternalkrynn
my Second Life name is Elrynn Naumova
sometime in the future ill have yahoo messenger, ICQ, and MSN set up. for the moment I only have SL and AIM

I wouldnt say its a deliberate type of scaring going on. just the type where you wear your tail openly and let them gape and gawk. reactions are usually funny. Especially when its a family and the kids demand that their parents get them tails of their own *grins and whistles innocently as he might have had something to do with a family of tourists registering for memberships in 2005*

it was funny though, they just saw me in the overflow hotel in 2005 and asked all about the tails and everything. Apparently they couldnt seem to get anyone to tell them that much about the con. Most people looked a bit too busy carrying stuff. so they saw me and asked. I figured why not, i was waiting on the elevator. I told them its a con about anthropomorphics(and what that was). They asked about the tails, said that their kids wanted some tails to wear. I just chuckled and told them about the dealers room and how the only way they can get in to buy tails woudl be to buy a registration. So they asked about that, and I told them all about it, including the "one day membership" which is for people who dont plan to stay the whole con, just want to scope it out for most of the one day and then get going. I also told them there are comedy shows that are up and if they feel like attending one, I warned them about 2, mentioned he was a bit graphic, but generally wasnt TOO bad. I gave them a simple and efficient breakdown and they seemed rather satisfied because as soon as my elevator came, they rushed off toward the con hotel saying thanks.
no idea if they will ever return for another con, but if they were as funloving as they seemed, then im guessing they just might come back to some other con or another AC if they have the chance. Course, maybe it is possible they were utterly shocked about some of the costumes, but the costumes usually arent that shocking, its the ones that the dorsai have to chase down that are the shocking costumes. and those simply arent allowed ^.^ Rainbow cheatahs sound like fun.

Hehe grey, im sure id be easy to pic out, walking around in bright colors, but dont get your hopes up, becuase i might not be able to go.
Yeah i know, i was alittle skeptical about actually getting them for my rents, but after they ticked me off I shruged and said fine, and i decided to go with it and get the rainbow stuff. Lol intresting story by the way, no doubt im sure we'll see them again if their children are relaly that intrested in furryness cj.

so, any ideas of what we will do once we meet up? I didnt really leave the con grounds much, so I dont know what all there is to see around the area.
I know there is a quiznos(pardon my crappy spelling) in the area and a few other restaurants. yes, there is a chinese eatery in the area, but please, lets go someplace simple(diner or something). Chinese food doesnt agree with me very well. not sure why.
There is the steel city diner and a little place almost next door to the steel city diner that serves really good wraps. No idea what its called, id recognize it if I saw the name or the store though. both are really good restaurants from what im told and what Ive eaten *drools at the thought* Im gonna get AAA to give me a list of all the stores and food places within a 1/4 mile radius around the con hotel. there is bound to be plenty of places around to see without going too far from the hotel.

Hye Kur, your not the only Southern Fur here, Even though I live with Itialian New Yorkers, I was born in the Keys, raised all around the Gulf, and have pretty muched stayed there for all of my life, although I have a slight northern accent. That and I have been to all but three of the US states and I am a cold hearted business man...
Anywho, if they don't let a fur in for wearing some kind of furry gear, I will sue their ass so hard....
So in other words, don't worry about not being allowed into some fancy smancy restraunt.

They never have before; i don't know why they'd start now.
Honestly, in the 3 (scattered) years that i've attended, i've never heard anyone say that a restaurant or other establishment kicked up a fuss over a little costuming. Were you to walk in with some weapon like a big sharp pointy object, maybe they might, but AC doesn't allow those anyway, so it's a moot point.
This past year, word got out to most of the local establishments that we were coming, so it was no big surprise; about a third of them had some sort of welcome sign up, just for us (Awwww...), and the remainder didn't bat an eyelash at our ears and tails and collars and such. Being right next to a convention center, i imagine they've seen a lot by now.
Now that i think about it, i don't ever remember seeing anyone in full fursuit (even minus head) in any of the restaurants. But then, if it were me, i wouldn't want to walk through 90-some degree heat just to eat dinner in full-body fur and heavy gloves and spend the whole meal worrying that i'd spill something all over myself. Not when i could trot up to my room, ditch the fur, and and change into some lighter and more easily laundered clothes. Just me. *grin*

If they cant handle us they shouldnt be near the convention center
Though, honestly like you said..most of the places welcomed us just fine ^_^ in fact, some of them said they would stay open later next year if they where given some advance warning on our time to be there..whee for fun people!

I won't be able to wear the fursuit i was gonna make, cause i can't figure out how to make half of it and i'm just plain lazy
, so i'll proly just be wearing a white tail and feet, like a snowfox, but my hair looks like an inverted skunk, kinda wierd how it turned out like that, but I like it. ================================================================"Look in my eyes, your killing me, killing me. All I wanted was you"
