Wait, is Further Confusion happening RIGHT NOW?? Fuck, I guess we're not going... >,,<

@frost You can still make Saturday afternoon and maybe into evening via BART/transit - though that might be pushing it. I'm sorry I'd coasted with the assumption you already knew it was this weekend!

@Leucrotta Oh! And oh yeah no we didn't know!!

Oh good. I was thinking you couldn't register after some cutoff point.

@Leucrotta A Sunday single-day registration is $40, though.

Still ow, but less ow.

@Leucrotta ugh, I wish they didn't make people show ID – our legal name is not our name, dammit, and /furries/ of all people should know that.

@frost They probably won't require legal name exhibited on badge, however.

@Leucrotta That's good to hear. But they still shouldn't need to /know it./

@Leucrotta If it's just "prove you're this age at check-in and then we'll never speak of your ID again and won't store your legal name", that's less bad. But they'd better not be pulling a FurryMUCK.

@frost Yeah. One day memberships are kind of a godsend as far as seeing cons you ordinarily couldn't - typically Saturdays (since conventions started out as weekend deals and Saturdays tend to be the blowout days)

@Leucrotta the Saturday single-day is $5 more, ha!

Is it worth trying to rush out there this afternoon instead of going Sunday?

...I wish we'd had more time to prepare... I'm still not even sure how much I want to go.

@Leucrotta like, if it was in several weeks and I'd had time to psych myself up and prepare and make sure there was a therian space and...

@Leucrotta maybe it being less crowded on Sunday would be a good thing.

will the cool stuff be happening on Sunday too?

@Leucrotta I don't even know what NAME to use. FuckfuckFUCK. Being out as plural would be good but how the frick do we even handle that???

If we have a name on our badge, people will call us that name, and I don't want that...

@frost Likely not; Sunday is when the con winds down and people take off, dealer's is closed, art show's closed (and FC's art show is REALLY good)

@Leucrotta Ooof. >,,<

we don't have any clean clothes, I guess we'll be all stinky.
though it's only noon, we could attempt to go to the laundromat but that would take several hours.

@Leucrotta I just... if it were happening in a week... or if we had ANY other cons we could EVER get to...

@frost There are other conventions in the area. If you were set on furry cons, PawCon is a lot smaller and less likely to set off anxiety, and it's months in the future

@Leucrotta I'd rather go to a con that ISN'T excluding us just from the name.

@Leucrotta It's weird and disheartening how many cons just casually do that...

@Leucrotta ...any other small cons around here, that aren't implying ferals don't exist?

unless PawCon doesn't shove the "anthro" stuff in your face
I don't know
I'm still wary
