Penguicon Day 2

Wow. I’m unbelievably tired. Although, I suppose considering my panel schedule today, that’s not surprising. I have an 8 am panel tomorrow.  Let me repeat that. 8:00 am panel.  At a con. Who scheduled that?

So, you get today in a nutshell and then I’m going to bed.  I had a load of panels, which were fun, and then went to Scalzi’s surprise birthday party, also fun.

I’m also possessed of an urge to teach a workshop at a con on how to build an animal costume that’s actually functional, breathable and has vision. I just want to take some of these people by the paw and explain to them that it doesn’t have to be like this.  But that’s not a good idea.

    More to the point, who’s going to ATTEND that? Sheesh!

    I’m amazed people actually showed up for that one!

      Well, the panelists outnumbered them, but yes, there were some brave souls.

    If you’ll be back at Penguicon again I imagine that such a workshop would be most welcome. I’ve already been asked if I would be willing to be on a construction panel and while I have no objection I did have to inform the asker that I have no construction experience to speak of.

    Improved vision (Issues include: Can glasses be accommodated? Not everyone has good vision nor are contact lenses always an option, alas.), improved cooling/airflow, and improved mobility are always welcome and get much discussion amongst builders and wannabe builders: http://community.livejournal.com/fursuit/

    I don’t know who or what all you saw. I cannot speak for the others, as I do not really know them nor the means of construction. I can only hope that the ox wasn’t too clumsy and didn’t cause you too much disruption.

    Also: An 8 AM panel?! Yow.
