ConClave 32 Report

I went to ConClave over the weekend. As a sci-fi con, I had the usual amount of fun. I went to a panel, dropped in on some filking, saw many folks I know (and drank with them), and generally had a good time.

As a furry con... not so much. There wasn't too much in the way of turnout from some local folks, and a SNAFU in the programming caused there to be even less furry programming than usual. I hope that some of these issues can be fixed for next year's ConClave.

I actually arrived a day early and visited some of the Michigan furries. I had much fun visiting with them, and taking the extra day off from work was definitely worth it.

It's a shame they didn't do a Holy Communion with Chocolate. That would have been like, totally wrong!

I saw this sign in the Philadelphia International Airport on the way back. It struck me as being excessively snarky. I rather liked it. :-)
