It was good to get know each other a bit better. While I probably had more ACME SUPPLIER ribbons than OX FAN ribbons (there were only 25 of those), the distribution was much more limited.

I'm already pondering (scheming about?) what ribbons to get for next year.

If? Come on, I actively encourage co-conspirators! So yes, you are indeed quite welcome to aid and abet the silliness that is ACME Delivery.

It was great to see some other furs there and to see some fursuiters. I don't know if you ever saw me in my hamster suit that i debuted Friday night. But it was great to meet you!

Thank you. This was Orvan's third year at Penguicon. At first I was worried about the possible reaction he'd get, but it's all been positive (okkay, there was one baby that was didn't want anything to do with the ox, but that's not what I was really worried about). Alas, I don't recall seeing you or if so I didn't for very long. And I wasn't carrying a camera around this year (I had one, but it was a bit cumbersome due to the very protective case), so I don't have any photos of anything I saw while out and about. I know how disappointing it is to not have photos of what you did in suit.

As I recall it, there was the hamster (you), the green badger, Sparky BlueFox (I saw him while waiting in line), Orvan, and the tigress. Five fursuiters or costumed characters beyond Tux and Beastie was actually surprising. I wonder how much effect FCN had for the more local folks. "Hey that was fun, can I do this again?" "Well, there's Penguicon..." but not being at all local, I don't know.

I was extremely disappointed, however, to hear the standard "furry fandom is about perverted sex" crapola from a couple of geeks at a room party Friday night. That put a damper on the whole evening for me.
