You can expect to see me at Anthrocon! No sooner do I get back from MFF I'm already starting plans for the next three conventions: Anime Detour, Anthrocon, and Anime Iowa. I look forward to seeing many faces at these events I've seen at others. It's great when having fun and working are the same.

I was asked what is it like going to a Fur Con as a business trip compared to going for vacation. The largest thing that stands out to me is priorities. I attended six panels I would otherwise never have gone to. I talked with people with the mindset of how can I create a product that will make them happy over how much fun can I have with them. The hours spent going to each floor placing flyers over four days. Looking over art not to enjoy it but to judge it to find an artist to bring my world to everyone else.

It's important to plan not just what events you want to go to but also have a reason. It could be "to have fun" or "to meet other X group that lives in X area" or "to find out what others enjoy." Having purpose lets you get the most out of anything, and even more out of a Con.
