I saw you in your saber cat form! Yays! I was the big red skunk. I didn't know you took so many suits! How would one manage all that in their bags if they weren't local?

OK, I remember a big red skunk.
I like to take all 5 of my characters with me, unless I'm flying. Then I have to settle for just one.
All my bodysuits and tails go in a large zippered dress bag, everything else pretty much fit in one big tote. Fu Manchu and Eddie's heads go in a large drawstring laundry bag because they're too big for the tote. The suit dryer disassembles and fits in a heavy duty tote, and I have a suitcase for clothes. I also take a cooler, a bag with food and a repair kit.

Oh how cool! I don't have a suit dryer. Each year I only take one of my two suits, I am local so it is a short drive by car. My second suit (the skunk) has an entirely machine washable bodysuit and I have cleaning spray and tools for all the rest. Then, it all sits out in the summer sun to dry! I always use a hiking backpack for the suit and all paws, and wear the tail, then put the head on the bag using elastic. But honestly, your methods sound really good for carrying multiple suits along. I wonder where I would get a good dryer for my suits,

I made this one, although people have suggested I pre make them and sell them.. This is dryer version 2.0.
To some degree it was an exercise in experimentation with a lot of plastic plumbing pieces from Lowes and Home Depot.
By popular demand, I'll be posting photos of it soon.

lookit all the "dead" furries in there!

No disassemble!

I was kidding

I know, but I do kinda feel that way every time I take one off.. Unless I'm totally dying from overheating..

would it help to go Commando in the suit?

Then my suit would get all sweaty on the inside.. Eeeeew..
I wear a T-shirt and shorts, and a cooling vest under my full suits.
All my heads have cooling fans.
The only one I tend to overheat when wearing is Shaemus, and that's because his head is really snug to wear.

true that
sides I was curious

Ha!

Looks like everyone exploded. X3

Time for some mix-and-matching.

I have been know to do that. There is a way I can wear a piece of everyone. I was soooooo confused!!

Wow. And I thought only rock bands trashed hotel rooms.

We usually keep the room somewhat neat and organized. This was the "get ready to pack everything" explosion.

I love your suit drying set-up. Did you make it or buy it? I would be interested in making one of those for my suits.

You're not the first to ask. I will be posting some photos of it soon.
If you attend my panel at either MFM or Fangcon, I will be handing out directions on how to make it.

He he, I just now noticed that Fu Manchu's expression in this photo looks like he's in total shock that you just walked in and witnessed him in this condition. :P The traveling suit dryer is pretty awesome!

Oh, he always gets that expression when I walk in the room..
Thanks!! It's a con saver. If you attend my panel at Fangcon, I will be handing out directions on how to make it.

Heh! Nice, I hope our panels don't get scheduled at the same time as I would love to attend your panel and figure out all of the suit drying secrets. :D

I was going to ask where do you sleep?
Then I read the rest of it.

Who sleeps? If I have to, I use the floor. SabreKatz's tail is rather fluffy to cuddle with.

I unnerstan the chaotic room, its part of the experience...

Man, ya got yer act together, tho as transporting multiple characters, and with a drying rack, too!

Awzome!

Typically we keep it somewhat organized, or else we'd be wearing a bit of everyone all at the same time!!
This is my "pre packing empty everything explosion". 45 minutes after SabreKatz was dry, everything was packed.

Oh man, I want one of those fursuit dryers now. I might have to pick your brain about that at MFM :D

If you attend my panel at MFM, I will be handing out directions on how to make it.

Hurrah! Hopefully I won't go full derp during the con and miss it while in suit or something :)

I'll make sure I remind you in time.. But who is going to remind me??

Bwahahahaha! Did you piss off house keeping or what?!!

This was the "get ready to pack everything" explosion.
We usually keep the room somewhat neater and organized. And it always smells of the alcohol we use to spray disinfect our suits when we take them off. The housekeeper at Fangcon last year told us she loved how clean our room smelled..

It's that moment when you realize you're a grown adult that dresses up as fluffy animals in their spare time. And totally enjoying it.

Heh heh.. And then there is that extremely rare occasion when I fleetingly wonder "what the heck am I doing?"
Then I put my head on and it goes away..

My furry life explained:

"What am I doing here instead of at home..."

*puts on Tien Long*

"RAAAH! STOP CALLING ME ADORABLE, DAMN KIDS!!"

Let the fun never stop.

I count six pairs of feet. That's a lot of bodies to put into a trunk. hehe. Nice Fursuit drier in der corner!

There's a total of 8 pairs of feet paws in the room, but two pairs are not in the photo.
Thanks!! It's a con saver!!

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17423272/ speaking of mixing and matching look what I found

YAY!! I've been trying to find a photo of my confusion every since MFM last year!!
Oh, I will be even more so this year..

I look forward to it

Nice suit dryer, like that design. If I drive to a con, I def take mine.

Thank you! It's a con saver, that's for sure!! It will dry out a suit in about an hour at a con. A freshly washed one in about three.

Ya, I has these.. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13455966/

Thinking of using your idea of the arm blower design. Its a good idea!

I like your blowers. Might even push more CFM than mine does..
Here it is in all it's glory.. I can reconfigure it depending on whether I'm drying a full suit or a partial.

hah! didn't realize you had pipes for the legs too, thats wicked! So where do the feet paws go? lol

Yup. On V1.0, the leg pipes came down and it was a PIA to hang the suit, because you had to feed it up the leg pipes before hanging the shoulders. This way, you hang the shoulders, and drop the legs right over the pipes..

Ummm. As for the feet paws.. Outside where I don't have to smell them??
