Hi, nice place ya got here...
 |
Eheh, Hello everyone. Nice to meet ya. This will be my first time coming to Anthrocon, but my second convention overall. New around these forums too so hi, I'm Reynard, and I draw stuff. Eheh *looks around a bit shyly* Aaaaanyway, any idea about rules regarding eating food around the rest of the con, and not just designated eating areas? (Hypoglycemic so I have to maintain blood sugar levels regularly) Also Any tips one might have for interactign with comrade furries that I should be aware of, so I know what to expect? I've been one for a couple years now, but a MASSIVE dearth of exposure to my people beyond the internet alone (there are like...NONE where I live!) has somewhat cramped my style, so to speak when it comes to my experience with us Also, my appologies if I don't seem to make sense, I barely make sense to myself anyway. |

We have designated eating areas?
Seriously, if you're walking around with a pop tart or something, I don't think anyone is going to complain.
Really, the only thing I can think of is, "Don't be a jerk". You might want to poke around our Standards of Conduct for some examples of what not to do.
You may also want to take a look at the New to Anthrocon and "More Info". pages.

Thanks! I was a little out of it when I first typed that post, heh. (lack of sleep will do that to one)
Understood, and peeking at those right now.
Aside from that, roger that, about the food, thanks. Was at a con where they were really uptight about where to eat and such.

I believe the that rules of the Dealer's Room prohibit outside food and beverage from being brought in and consumed there, so it is a designated non-eating area. Also, you should not break open a bag of potato chips and crunch on them during a panel or event where they'd be distracting.
But for walking around the con, eating is cool. If you're worried about blood sugar and such, pack a backpack or such with emergency snacks and/or beverages, and keep an eye on what you eat- I know that's hard during vacations.

Actually, we do make exceptions for persons with a genuine medical need. The key phrase is "Genuine," so a Medic-Alert bracelet or some other indication would be helpful in keeping the Convention Center union from coming down on you.

What??!! Oh, darn, now I have to cancel the pop-tart enforcement squad. They're going to be so disappointed.
This probably means we can't go after people eating twinkies, either.

"Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of furries in the Pittsburgh area. Based on Anthrocon's membership numbers, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds."

Eating a 600-lb twinkie would be it's own punishment; no need for us to do anything in addition to that.

permalinkScrew a pop-tart, the Breakfast Hot Pockets with ham/egg/cheese are better. Bring enough to bribe security to keep them of your back.

Hi! Hope you'll have a good time at the con! As an artist you might want to join Fur Affinity http://www.furaffinity.net/
Mostly if you keep the Golden Rule in mind when interacting with other furs you'll be just fine *hugs*
I live in Ohio too, Youngstown. I'm the only fur in my area too.
Furry is a state of mind.

Hi welcome. I have to say this place could be nicer if giza puts down some carpet
.
As for meeting furs in your area. I'm not sure what part of Ohio your from but there are some Ohio furs over at www.michiganfurs.com. Us Michigan furs are friendly too. Mostly.

What's wrong with that green carpet I have on the left?
Also, there will be a Michigan furry convention in the spring: http://www.furryconnect.com/ Both Uncle Kage and I will be attending.

Well, hello! I'm an only second time goer myself. But If you see two short readheads, a round girl with glasses, and a very thin blonde teen, don't be afraid to stop by and say hello! (I'll be the fatter of the two readheads.)

Or if you see anyone like that little guy to the left of these words say hi. That goes for everyone else to feel free to say hi. Unless I have a new fur suit. If that's the case the guy on the left may be creeped out.

Reynard,
Welcome to Anthrocon! I hope that you'll find the convention as warm and fun as I have for the last 9 years.
Let me make a programming suggestion. There is a panel called "So this is your first convention?" It's held by Uncle Kage, 2 the Ranting Gryphon, and myself. It's held as one of the very first panels on Friday and is a great way to get introduced to Anthrocon. We'll talk about a lot of ways you can find things, helpful hints, and we try to be entertaining as well. Even folks who have gone to AC for years love to go to this panel...simply because it gets a few laughs and there's almost always something new that we find to talk about.
This panel also addresses some of the etiquette questions you may have on how to interact or approach artists, fursuiters, and other folks at the convention.
Hope you found this helpful!
KP
Programming Director
