Well... I decided to bite the bullet and go to Anthrocon... had a great time with friends I've only met online and made some new contacts as well.

This was the first badge I managed to get thanks to a tip from my friend   radarnocturn from an artist named Jim Groat. FA page located here:   rabbi-tom Who was a guest of honor at AC a few years ago and is a very well respected artist in the community.

To him I say thank you for making this fur's first AC special because of this badge.

There's a funny story about this involving the fursuit parade as wlel, but I'll save that for LJ.
