Con Report Furlandia 2014

The Convention: Furlandia

The Place: Sheraton Hotel Portland Airport

The dates: May 23-25, 2014

Furlandia is a furry convention in Portland Oregon. This is the second year running.

At first I was very apprehensive about going this year. There were two ghost that was in my mind. First there was Furlandia 2013, with a hotel in the middle of nowhere, the MTV fiasco, and the fursuit death march. The second was Sheraton Hotel Portland Airport that held the defunct MEW (Manga and Exotic Worlds) convention, Mewcon’s bad relations with the hotel helped lead to its demise.

If you not heard today is free Comic Book Day. Some of the tiles maybe out of stock by now. Have learned that lesson year I head out early around 8:00am. The store opens at 9:00am. I still did some quick contacts with my hand held  on one of the ham radio repeater while I waited. I got the two titles I was looking for, Hello Kitty and Friends and Rocket Raccoon. I picked up a copy of Guardians of the Galaxy because I am interested in the movie. I wanted to do some shopping and pick up some secondary choices but deiced it was getting too crowded. I will swing back latter.

Japanese Café Provides Company for Solo Dinners

Time : “Ever feel self-conscious eating out alone? Moomin Café in Tokyo has recently gone viral because gigantic stuffed animals are seated across the table from solo diners in an attempt to reduce any discomfort.”

I know now were to take my 3ft Hello Kitty plush for a date. I had been taking my push into a restaurant for some time. Not necessary because I am lonely. I often take one of my giant plus to a fan convention. After 2012 when my truck was broken in and my giant Hello Kitty plus was stolen, I take my plush into restaurant inst of leaving valuables in my truck.

Time to plan out the rest f my convention panning for 2014.

Next will be Furlandia in May. This is questionable because I have not heard about any planning meetings, furthermore it already February and still no registration.

July 4th, this depends on  where I am if I am  Tacoma I may do a day overnight   trip to  Everfree NW the Brony Convention or stay home and go to Gearcon  or not.

 September   Kumoricon , Rose  City Comic Con  and perhaps  Rainfurrest if  Furlandia falls  through.

November: I will attend Orycon.

December – January:  Newcon.

Panels

Kumoricon:  Otaku over 25 and Furry 101
