Furry Convention of Unacceptable Adults’ Scars One Hotel Guest’s Cheerleading Children for Life

Something is rotten in the state of Media.
This reminds me about Northern California Volleyball Association flap.
Except for an inflammatory title, Gaker waste of broadband by regurgitating other site’s stories.
As for TonyA there is something rotten about it. According to another article Tony A had made the complaint in January 2013 for a stay in Feb 2012. The event checks out there was a cheer event on the same weekend of Furry Fiesta but I note no con report noting any interacting between those going to the cheer event and Fury Fiesta.
“A customer known as Tony A. left a review on TripAdvisor about his experience at the Crowne Plaza North Dallas-Addison when the furry convention was in town. Tony A. claims they stayed at the hotel in February 2012, but they did not post the review until January 2013. The question is

Second thing Travel advisor has removed his comments; probably they are so inflammatory; The of his charges are very vague.
“First of all, I like to bring up the ineptitude of the groups department on scheduling a Furry Convention of unacceptable adults, along with a young girls and boys cheerleading team. The things that our children (ages 4-17) witnessed there, are the kinds of things that we as parents hate to even think that they would be exposed to. My 10 year old daughter and my 8 year old son witnessed lude and lascivious behavior in the pool, outside by these furry people.”
“These “people” if I can call them that [My comment: argumentum ad hominem], were doing unspeakable things [comment: very vague does not give concrete examples] outside on the hallways and in their rooms with their doors open.”
“I am not sure if you folks know what a Furry Rave is. A regular rave is a party where folks dance, drink, party and do their drugs. A regular rave would have been unacceptable then. A Furry Rave included more lude and lascivious behavior, along with the other factors included in a regular rave. That is not only unacceptable for a guest, it should have been unacceptable to this hotel. How did I find out all of these details about this “rave” and what these furry conventions are about? GOOGLE!!!!! How hard is it for someone to do a little due diligence before they schedule something like this? This research took me 5 MINUTES to do. How do these people schedule these two groups together????”
Tony is going to bases his incendiary comment on five minuet search on Goggle. He was at the con hotel. He could at least provide some evidence. By the way I have attended Furry, Anime, Science Fiction, Comiccon, and multi-Genre fan conventions, they a have raves and there is just people dancing. No lewd activity, no drugs. Just a lot of dancing, Techno and Dub step
So what we have the worst case of Sports /Event Helicopter parents, the type who lives insufficient narcissistic lives through their children, pushing their kids where it almost child abuse and pushing everybody else out of the way. That or ether, noting the vagueness and lateness of the complaint, this is an example of social network extortion, the person blackmails the business by threatening to leave a bad reviews less they get freebees and favorable treatment.

Hello KItty In Space

cross posted form my hello kitty Blog.
By now only a few on this earth has not heard of how a 7th grader, Lauren Rojas, has sent Hello Kitty Plush 93,000 feet up in the stratosphere as part of a science project.

Having looked at the video, she did an excellent job of presetting her experiment during the flight, the pictures are spectacular and hello kitty in her rocket is just so cute. The rocket parachuted back to earth 47 miles from the launch point, in a tree; a likely place for a kitty. Hello Kitty is safe and sound back on Earth. The video went viral and new report has been seen all over the world and on National TV.

Not to detract from Ms. Rojas feat, some in the media is reporting this is Hello Kitty’s first trip into (or near space). That honor really should go to Melissa whose Hello Kitty has flown with The Expedition 9 Crew in 2004. I quote from part of that post.

“This is to certify that Hello Kitty accompanied the Expedition 9 Crew in their long duration space mission aboard the International Space Station. This item was flown for the wonderful Melissa (last name omitted for obvious reasons).

The Expedition 9 Crew was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan on April 19, 2004, at 9:19 a.m., aboard the Russian Soyuz Spacecraft TMA-4, and return to Kazakhstan on October 24, 2004, at 6:35 a.m. aboard the Soyuz Spacecraft TMA-4.”

 

I also thought Hello Kitty as Soyuz crew mascot aka Micro Gravity Indicator some time ago.

Still way to go Lauren for Hello Kitty first altitude Balloon mission.

2012 A Year in Review and 2013 Plans

2012 was a busy year for me. My con schedule was

Wonder Northwest,  Multi Genre geek 26 to 27 Mar

Kumoricon, Anime 1st though 3rd September

The Otaku over 25 panel  I hosted grew from 35 to over 55 attendees.

Rose city Comic Con, Comic industry general pop culture,  8th – 9th September

(My return to ) Rainfurrest, Furry, 27 through 30 September

Orycon, Science fiction, 2nd – 4th November

NewCon PDX multi-genre (anime, sf, fantasy) 29 -30 December

Except for Rainfurrest all other conventions were at Portland / Vancouver WA area. It had been a record breaking year. I also have gotten a reputation as the crazy guy with the big Hello Kitty plushie.  There been some hitches including a car break-in where my giant Hello Kitty was stolen.

2013 convention planning

I am sticking local this year, with 19000 in debt and loss of job in May I not condition or desire to travel out of region. In addition to keep within a budget, I do not see to attend any every out of state furry con.

I will attend Wonder Northwest, a day at Steam Con (steam punk), Orycon, Kumoricon, and Newcon. I will do the Otaku over 25 panel and will work on a Fury 101 / furry in anime panel for  Kumoricon; there may be an opportunity for a furry panel at Orycon and NewCon.  Rose City Comic-con is a wild card; the news is they are partnering with Emerald City Comic Con. On the plus it will being a truly comic con to Portland, the bad is high price to attend, long lines, and $100 if one want an autograph con, I may give it a pass. I like when the geek con keeps it local, it is why we need Wonder Northwest and NewCon.

John 1

English Standard Version (ESV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
