Annual Migration (Anthrocon Meme!)
12 years ago
Migration? Because it's animals?
I just pre-registered (I was watching some con video the other day, and I swear some kid said "pre-reg'ed" but he said it with a hard G. Like reggae. The word register has a soft G. Pre-rej. Don't do that). My badge name is Pons Sandcat (of course) and my badge number is 2745 That means that 2745 people have pre-registered so far... doesn't it?
Anyway, here's the meme:
Where are you staying?
The Westin! Hopefully on a lower floor this year. We were on the 23rd floor last year.
What day are you getting there?
I'm getting to Pittsburgh on June 11th, and leaving July 8th. My friends/con roommates live in Pitt, so we'll be faffing about for awhile before AC.
How are you getting there?
US Airways
Who will you be rooming with?
Who will you hang out with during the convention?
Roommates, gotta meet up with
again, and hopefully some suiters?! And any of my watchers that I chat with regularly?!
Will you be suiting?
DEBUTING
Do you do free art?
I could try, if I'm hanging out with people in the zoo and they have a sketchbook or something. It might be crappy though. I draw so infrequently now.
What is your gender?
N/A. My sex is female, though. Please use a variety of pronouns c: Especially when I'm in suit!
How tall are you?
5'5!
Are you taken? Are you looking for a 'mate'?
Single and oblivious!
Can I talk to you?
I might be somewhat shy, but go ahead! I'm not sure how much talking I'll be doing in suit. I'm already soft-spoken. Add a foam head and I don't know if people will hear me!
Can I touch you?
Give Pons all of the hugs. But not aggressive surprise hugs from behind, I don't want to fall over. Last year I suited for a while in corgiface's corgi, and some guy gave me a pick up and spin around hug. That was fun.
How can I find you?
Last year I said I was going to tweet my location periodically or something. I don't think I did a single time. I forgot. This year, if you want to find me, just give me a shout here on my FA wall and I'll reply. If you're someone I'm reasonably familiar with and you don't have a smartphone (or other internet device) to get on FA, I can give you my phone number and you can text me if you want to meet up sometime during the con.
If I'm not in suit, I'll probably at least be wearing Pons' tail. So look for that. It's not super special snowflake, though.
Can I visit your room?
Nooo we are private people. We need a retreat that is free of excessive stimulus.
Can I buy you drinks?
If you want to buy me something, buy me candy. Or like. Gatorade. Since I'll be suiting.
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
I'm the worst hugger when not in suit. I always always end up getting shouldered in the neck. But if one or both of us is in suit, then sure. I prefer the term cuddle over snuggle.
Are you nice?
No I'm a horrible person.
Do you have an artist table?
No table this year!
Will you be going to parties?
Probably not. Not any traditional parties, at least. I'm not a big party person. There's too much going on and no focal point, so I end up sitting in the corner staring at everyone.
Will you be performing?
Just general suiting.
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Yell PONS. Or SANDCAT. Or both. If you can't remember my name, just yell SOFT KITTY.
What/where will you be eating?
Is Fernando's closed now? :c I had heard that it didn't pull through. We went to an interesting indian place last year. Also a chinese place. I wouldn't mind going back to both.
Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
I'll probably have major meals with my roommates, but if I'm hanging out with you and the idea of getting a snack arises, then sure!
Can I draw in your sketchbook?
I don't have a sketchbook, but I do plan on bringing some sort of book that people can either doodle in or sign/give contact info. Sort of like a guestbook. I want to call it a con book but that's already taken.
Can I take your picture?
TAKE TEN THOUSAND PICTURES OF PONS and upload them here and make sure you tag them with my name so that I can find them and admire them. If I'm not in suit, then maybe.
What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
It would be super cool to wind up in a con video.
Have fun. Meet my favorite attending suiters. Give/receive over 100 hugs?!

EXCITE!!
I like our fortress of solitude... makes it easier to enjoy the crowds and energy when you know you've got a safe space to return to.
i hope you have fun though!
