I will be attending Fur the 'More this week in Baltimore, Maryland. This post is mostly aimed at people looking to find me at the convention and people I've met at the convention who are looking for information about my characters or further information about therianthropy and otherkin. I can simply point everyone to this journal.

Therianthropy & Otherkin Panel

Thanks to everyone who came to my panel! If you still have any questions, feel free to note me. :)

On Friday evening from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM, I will be hosting a Therianthropy & Otherkin event in the Panels 3 room. Will most likely also host an afterpanel somewhere afterwards for anyone who still wants to talk more, though if I get tired or things go horribly wrong, I reserve the right not to. :)

How To Find Me

I will be at various places for the rest of the convention - dealer's room, art show, other panels. etc. I will likely be wearing my tagua and one or more of my badges at all times. In human form, I am tall and have a beard and long hair. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
