Hey, yep, I'm definitely gonna be at BLFC! :D I'm getting in Thursday afternoon and leaving Monday morning. I'm rooming with  carson10us,  skyan and  razzylee and looking forward to a great time of hangouts, fursuiting, mischief, paws, and buffet noms! It's always great to see friends I don't get to run into otherwise, hug them, stuff delicious baked goods in their muzzles... and occasionally provide paw or back rubs too. ^///^;

One of the things I'm looking forward to most is the fursuiter charity auction! Some of us are gonna be auctioned off as dance partners for the Friday night dance, which should be a lot of fun. ^..^ While technically the auction is only for the first hour of the dance I'm going to be giving more of my time and attention than that to whoever wins me, so bid high. <3

I won't have a laptop with me and won't really be checking FA much during the con. The best way to get hold of me if you're around is to text me if you have my number, or poke me on Twitter Fuzzypaw if you don't!

Where are you staying?
In the main hotel, the Marriott! I seem to have been assigned to the party floor, but won't be hosting one myself~


Arrival/Departure?
I'm getting in pretty early on Thursday, and leaving pretty late on Monday!


Sharing a room with?
I shall be rooming with  graedius,  yanori,  tyrnn, and  sigecore! This seems like a pretty swell grouping to me~ <3


Who do you hang out with?
I have a bajillion friends and acquaintances I want to spend time with, and I am also happy to meet anyone else who is friendly and manages to get my attention!


Can I talk to you?
Geez, all of these questions were out of logical order so I reordered and combined some of them as I did this! Anyway yes, you definitely can. You can start by saying hi to me! Preferably from the front or above, rather than from behind. Definitely do not grab me from behind as your introduction... but that should go without saying. :3 Bear in mind that if I am in fursuit, I literally will not see you unless you are in a 30 degree arc directly in front of me, and your attempts to get my attention from outside that bound will be wasted! So if I don't acknowledge you it's because I didn't notice, not because I snubbed you!


Can I hang out with you?
I am super friendly and I try not to be cliquey at all. If I am not currently socially entangled or on my way to get in fursuit or whatever, then the answer to this is likely yes! If I am with other friends still feel free to say hi, just don't expect to drag me off in that case~


Gender?
Male! In case you somehow weren't previously aware. :3


Relationship Status?
Not looking! But not uptight about it either. :)


How tall are you?
Ironically, this micro raccoon is 6 ft 6 in tall in real life! That is 2 meters, if you're not from around these parts~


Are you an Artist?
Some of you still haven't figured out that I am a commissioner! So no, I will not have a table and no I will not be taking commissions and no I will not be doing trades.


Are you a Fursuiter?
Yes, I very much am! You will see me around in my suit quite a bit. And for secret bonus round points this time, some of those outings might actually be my friend  skittheskunk piloting the suit. ;)


Attending parties?
I certainly will if some of you fine upstanding citizens want to invite me to some! Otherwise, I apparently have easy access to party floor festivities and will certainly take advantage of that fact, especially the ever-entertaining Klingon party.


Do you drink?
This is almost a redundant question, considering the prior question and which convention we're talking about here! But yes, yes I do.


Can I buy you a drink?
I tend to prefer mixed drinks of either the fruity or creamy variety, or alternately stuff like hard cider, and definitely not beer or straight up whiskey. :> Just please give me a chance to get some water in between rounds... I tend to fold pretty easily to pressure to accept drinks and don't want to end up with a hangover. XD


Do you smoke?
That depends on who I am around! Hookah and the stuff my home state of Washington was in the news for a while ago can be nice once in a while, but I won't do that around my fursuit. I will not buy any, but I am generally willing to accept an invitation to share~


Are you attending any panels?
Oh I am sure I will end up at one or two, especially if I'm with friends at the time who want to go to one! But it is not the focus of my visit... that would be meeting up with people and tooling around in fursuit. :3


Stage or public performance?
Nope nope nope nope A THOUSAND TIMES NOPE. Though I will happily tool around the con in fursuit and "perform" in that way, I am not going to do anything formal or scheduled. NEVER AGAIN


Rules of engagement (physical contact)?
As long as you have a modicum of personal hygiene, then you are welcome to apply hugs to my body! If you have actually managed to get me into a relatively private setting then you can also generally assume I am okay with you applying paws to me as well. :>


How can I find you?
Oh, I'll be here and there...! If I am not in suit then my Twitter is probably a good idea, Fuzzypaw :3 If someone manages to shrink me and kidnap me though all bets are off!


Can I give you money and stuff?
This is my birthday con! :D So I won't say no to this, though if it happens I will probably feel guilty, and guilt is for foxes! Giving it to me in the form of food or drink or art or something is probably more fun for all concerned~


Can I come to dinner with you?
Possibly, especially if you are willing to be around other friends of mine and especially especially if you are inclined to buy it for me. XD


Can I take your picture?
Sure, especially if I'm in fursuit! I'd kinda prefer it be a good picture though, you know? Not that one moment of derp and brutal ugliness that will make me commit seppuku in shame for existing~


How do I know if you're not looking to socialize (angry, busy or upset)?
If I'm at a con I'm looking to socialize. :3 It is almost impossible for me to be upset at a con, especially THIS con since it is my birthday con! If I have already become socially entangled I might not be able to get dragged off in the opposite direction from where the people I'm hanging out with are headed, but I'll still say hi!


Personality Type?
Friendly, playful, and submissive, without any of the self esteem baggage that usually comes with that! Odds are that I already think you're better than me and that I am a happier person for having acknowledged it! :D

It's vacation time! So tomorrow morning, Saturday, I'm hopping a plane to make my way to Dallas. I'll be staying with  startide and  mr.huggles, and hope to see a number of other fine fuzzies there too! I know there's a furmeet at some point while I'm there, and I'm bringing my partial, so that will be fun~! It will be great to worship some friends. :D

Then on Tuesday evening, I head out to Raleigh! I will be staying with  aggrobadger,  lunaticmoth and  shugowah until Saturday. I imagine that won't be quite as much of a social frenzy, though I might be able to see other locals if my hosts approve! I am definitely looking forward to seeing  kingdead while I'm there, at least. <3

This is definitely needed after a long stressful time, and I am hoping for it to be a fantastic week~!

Arrival and Departure:
I'll be getting in Thursday and leaving Sunday. Hopefully the hotel will have its act together this time!

Staying at:
The main hotel, the Hilton!

How are you traveling?
I'm local, so I'm just driving up!

Who are you rooming with?
 cth,  blaiddwolfe and  skittheskunk :)

Where will you be? How best to find me?
I'll be all over the place! Mostly this will mean either suiting or hanging with / serving friends. :) Poke me at Fuzzypaw on Twitter, or text me if you have my number~

Who will you be with?
Whoever is there and whose availability syncs up with mine!

Are you fursuiting?
I will definitely have Shiro there! I will be out and about frequently.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5119943/

Do you do free art?
I'm a commissioner not an artist, you silly things~

What is your gender?
Male, I'm pretty sure. :3

What do you look like?
I'm ironically tall at 6'6" / 2 meters. Here's what I look like out of suit!
http://twitpic.com/ddzk61

Can I talk to you?
Sure! If I'm in suit and don't notice you trying to get my attention, though, don't be offended; I have limited visibility and somewhat reduced hearing in that thing!

Can I hug and/or snuggle you?
I'm very okay with hugs, as long as you're reasonably clean! Please don't tackle me from behind, though, especially if I'm in fursuit and can't see you coming. Snugs are okay if I happen to be in a private room at the same time as you. :3

Are you nice?
To the point of general submission. :3

Are you cliquey?
While I'm certainly going to hang out with friends and with the friends of my friends, I'm not exclusionary by any means and I am always happy to meet new people! I'm very approachable, just don't be creepy about it. :3 I'm easier to hang out with out of suit, because in suit I'll probably generally want to keep moving about the con space rather than sticking to one place.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Just come up to me! Especially if I'm suit, because my sight and hearing will be curtailed.

Can I ask ya to dance with me during the dances?
Definitely! Not that there will be a lot of "asking" involved since the music generally drowns out conversation. Just come up to me!

Can I buy you drinks?
Absolutely! I most like fruity girly drinks, milky drinks, ciders and suchlike, but am willing to try just about anything. :)

Do you attend parties?
If you invite me! I'd love to go to some but despite being very outgoing I am still shy about "inviting myself" to gatherings.

Can I take your picture?
Definitely if I'm in suit! Out of suit, only if I'm not compromised. XD

What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Hang out with and worship friends, get a bunch of fursuit time, and get a much needed de-stress break. ^..^

Gonna skip most of the standard meme. I'm at the main hotel, I like hugs, I like worshipping friends, I like being given drinks, etc, yes yes mrawr. What I REALLY want to know is if we are going to meet, what do you look like! Even if you've given me a picture before but we haven't actually met. I might still forget, but this will give me a way better chance of recognizing you, especially if we've not met in person before or have only met a couple times!

I'll start. :)

If so, you are probably using Chrome on Windows and you are probably finding this new behavior really annoying. Well, there's a way to fix it. Find your Chrome shortcut on your desktop. Open up the properties. Find the Target line with the link to chrome.exe and add

-disable-prompt-on-repost

to the end of the line. For example, mine is now

C:\Users\Fuzzypaws\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -disable-prompt-on-repost

Close Chrome, and if you have it pinned to your taskbar go ahead and unpin it, because the pin is using the old link. Now reopen Chrome, repin it, and you should no longer get that stupid message when you reload on the Message inbox page. :)

Hey! Just a check before considering the cab, because after doing it last year I'm not really feeling lugging my fursuit across town on the tram again. XD I will be getting into the San Jose airport tomorrow morning at 10 am with a fursuit crate,  cth and  artide. Anyone willing to pick us up and bring us to the con hotel? I am totally willing to provide payment in the form of gas money, homemade cookies, and/or pawrubs, as desired. :)

I'm not gonna do the whole meme thing, especially since there are a ton of redundant questions. But yes, I will be there! I'm rooming with  cth,  kuntos, and  aydenwolf08. I am arriving early on Thursday the 17th and leaving late on Monday the 21st. And that Monday is my birthday! :D Now that they've moved FC back a week it's my birthday con again, so I am especially hopeful of having a great time. <3


A big part of going to a con for me is spending time with friends from online! So if I'm not suiting and I'm not with one of my roommates, odds are good I might be hanging with  blaiddwolfe,  keeya,  voondahbayosh,  geckonori,  benthedragon,  iancorvid,  startide,  teren, or anyone else who manages to drag me away. :) While I am definitely looking forward to spending time with friends from online, I am not cliquey and am happy to meet new furs. Especially if you get me a snack or a drink. *giggles* I am also generally happy to hug anyone as long as you have good hygiene and don't surprise me from behind. ^..^


Looking forward to this con so much! <3

I already covered all this on my Twitter account ( www.twitter.com/Fuzzypaw ) but not everyone watches me there, so this is for the rest of you!

The sale runs now through this Thursday (October 11), and the date range of flights it allows for entirely covers the span of FC. The promo code is BIGDEAL40 and it allows you to chop 40% off from Southwest's already pretty low fares! And with Southwest you already get two free checked bags, which is awesome for fursuiters like myself. :)

Do you already have a flight to FC with Southwest, like I did? No problem! Southwest makes it easy to apply the money from an earlier purchased flight to a new flight if circumstances change.

1. Sign in at southwest.com and cancel your flight. Keep the confirmation number of the cancelled flight handy.
2. Search up the flight you want again, using the promo code.
3. While going through the purchase process, choose to "apply funds" from your cancelled trip. Enter the confirmation number of that trip.
4. Complete the purchase. You now have a cheaper flight, and you can use the confirmation number of your cancelled flight again when purchasing a later trip to use up the remainder of the funds, as long as your travel is within 1 year of the day you originally purchased the now-cancelled flight.

Doing this, I saved $173 on me and bunny's plane tickets to FC. That $173 is still with Southwest on that cancelled flight, so I can apply it toward a later flight. This sort of thing is why Southwest is awesome. :)

 cth is in the back section of the Dealer's Den on the left half of the room, on the way to Bad Dragon. He's got sketch commissions on tap for $15 per character. :)

And of course, he's open for digital color take home commissions for about twice that, or just commissions online if you're not at Rainfurrest, if you're instead after something like this!

There is a site called Kiva I just found out about today through the above link, that lets you provide some of the money to make philanthropic loans to disadvantaged individuals in various parts of the world. And right now they have some kind of major sponsorship that is letting them do a promotion, where you can sign up and make a $25 donation for no cost to you! So literally at the cost of only a couple minutes of your time, you can improve someone's life.

And if that's not enough incentive, the fur who posted the journal where I found out about this, is running a contest too for individuals who join Kiva and complete the process via her referral link. You might get some art out of it! And even if you don't, you'll still have the satisfaction of having helped someone. So hey, check it out!

 voondahbayosh does all kinds of awesome art, and while Voon's great at all manner of things like faces and perspectives, any of my followers here should especially appreciate Voon's skill with feetpaws! Like here, for instance:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8660879/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8660879/

So you should totally go watch  voondahbayosh. Everyone on this entire site should flood over there and make sure they have Voon in their watchlist and this is not subjective, it is totally a fact~

Watch  voondahbayosh~!
Watch  voondahbayosh~!
Watch  voondahbayosh~!

I'm 78 inches tall, I'm 18 inches across the shoulders, I'm about 6" front to back. If I was shrunk to 1/20 my current height, so like 3.9 inches tall, then my shoulders would be 0.9 inches across, and my body would only be 0.3 inches thick. A totally viable size for lying under the crook of someone's toes or the arch of their foot, whether strapped there or held in their shoe or sock or sandal. It'd be a safe position, so I would not be crushed as they walked~

Metric measurements: 198 centimeters tall, 45 centimeters across, and 15 centimeters deep -> 9.91 centimeters tall, 2.28 centimeters across, and 0.76 centimeters deep~

I'm game for a good cause, and red cross blood donation and disaster relief efforts certainly qualify.  wolfpuptk has set up a raffle you guys can see here:

There's a link there to the red cross's website where you can donate money, and then you can forward on the email receipt for tickets in the raffle to potentially win art from any number of contributing artists. Check it out!

 wolfpuptk is setting up a pretty cool art raffle to benefit the Red Cross. If you are an artist and would like to contribute something to the raffle, you can check out what he's setting up here. :)

My bunny  cth hasn't been able to get to work because all of the buses have stopped coming here due to the snow this week, and I can't drive him on weekdays because of my own dayjob. So he is opening for some cheap commissions all day Friday, and you should check them out!

I will be at FC! It is one of the two cons I intend to never miss, the other being Rainfurrest. The "normal" FC meme is kind of rambly and jumps around and is in several places redunant as well, so I figure I'll just do a condensed version!

Where?
I will be at the main hotel, the Marriott, on one of the fursuit floors. My room will have a nillacoon (that's me!) as well as a bunny ( cth) and a superwoozle ( kuntos), and I'll be around from Thursday through Monday. However, it is probably an even chance at any given moment as to whether I will be wandering the con in fursuit, wandering out of fursuit, or in my room chilling (read: showering from suiting, or hanging out with someone). During night hours I'm going to either be dancing in suit or hanging out with someone. If I am not in fursuit you can get hold of me either by texting me, for those of you who have my number, or by ing me on Twitter, for those of you who don't.
https://twitter.com/#!/Fuzzypaw

Appearance?
Ironically enough, I'm actually rather tall... 6'5" / 2 meters tall barefoot. You might find me wandering the con either in suit or out of it!
http://twitpic.com/6ihhwc
http://twitpic.com/6q2618

Approachable?
Certainly! Although I go to cons first and foremost to see friends from online that I can't usually hang out with in person, I don't consider myself "cliquey" at all. I'm very friendly and always willing to say hi, and I love meeting new people! You can just come up to me and introduce yourself if you want my attention, even if I'm hanging out with someone; as a raccoon-ferret I am easily distracted by shiny things and paws, and might not notice you from a distance. I am huggable in or out of suit, but I would prefer if I see you coming, please - no pounces from behind! Just address me as "Fuzzy!" to get my notice. =)

Snuggles and paws?
Yes and yes, if you know me at all! If you are new, just get to know me a bit first. ^.^ Bear in mind I am a clean fur so I'm not going to have sexytime with you, but, I am snuggly in or out of suit and always willing to provide paw worship to my betters. Such things are generally better kept to private rooms though rather than being a matter of public spectacle. :]

Vices?
I enjoy drinking and have a sweet tooth, so am unlikely to turn down gifts of free booze, lattes, pastry, or chocolate. :D Getting a nice dinner is appreciated too! ;) I can't take coffee straight (heresy for a Seattle fur, I know) but love it adulterated by milk and sugar. I don't particularly care if you do drugs as long as it doesn't make you unpleasant to be around, but I'm not going to hang around smoke for long mainly to keep my clothes from smelling like it all day; if I'm in fursuit I will ditch immediately.

Art?
Yes please! <3 Here's my ref: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4330883/ ~ Anyway, I might draw some myself, but I'm not a pro artist like the dealer's den folks and nowhere near as good, so, I won't be spending tons of time doing it.

Time to get bouncy and excited! :D

So, the site

https://www.dwolla.com/

Is apparently a Paypal alternative, though, usable only for United States-based transactions. Lower fees than Paypal, more convenient than Alertpay. Is this service legit? I figure with all the people watching me, someone must know!

Okay, so, the dryer in my apartment shorted out this morning or something. It incinerated my roommate's clothes, and filled the whole place with smoke. We're okay, the fire department put it out and got the dryer out of the apartment, nothing else was lost, and ferret is okay because he was in my room with the air filter. But, now we have a smoky smell everywhere. We aired out all the actual smoke, and I got some Febreze and a wall plugin. Is there anything else that works? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks. :3

And you should all vote for it so I can buy it. It's a latecomer to the derby so it needs extra love to make it in the fog before it's too late!

http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=58480

Before anyone asks, to be able to vote on Woot derbys you have to have a Woot account, and the only way to have a Woot account is to have purchased something on Woot or any of its subsites.

There are a few random people I've never had any negative interactions with, who for some reason seem to have me on their block lists. That is bizarre to me! I always try to be nice to everyone unless they're being an ass in a debate, and I very rarely ever get involved in those; but none of the ones I've found myself randomly blocked by are people I've engaged in discussion threads. :3
