Hey guys, it's Fergus. Despite being part of this fandom for about a decade, I've never actually gone to a furry convention (or a convention of any kind). I was stuck in college for a long time, and I heard about all the fun people were having going to conventions during that time. 
I've never traveled on my own before. But I did all the work planning and navigating when I went to Australia. Going to Virginia should be simple compared to that.
