Paw*Con 2014, day 3 - #4
Every year I go to "Paw*Con". It's not a real, proper convention, though; my friends and I started calling it that because, in the furry fandom, gatherings of furries tend to be "meets", "circles", or "cons". Plus, it only became "Paw*Con" when we moved it from being hosted at Rozberk's place (where we called the gathering of Macro/MIcro fans, "Roz*Con") to Milwaukee where Geemo, Seph, and Quinn live.
I've been going every year since 2001. Each year I cook for my friends, we hang out, play games, see movies, and go to restaurants all while enjoying each other's company. Seeing as the first time we did this ended just days before my father passed away, this annual gathering has taken on a larger meaning for me than (probably) most others in attendance. For me, it's an annual reminder of my "family of choice": my closest friends, no matter how far apart we are.
This is us. This is the gang. Together, we got our cars together to head out to see "the LEGO Movie", visit "American Science & Surplus", and the local comic/game shop, "Lost World of Wonders". Here we are: Astor, Sephiroth, JoMo (in back), Rozberk, Roxicat/Hossifer, Jakebe, Seph, Quinn, Shelby/Kamber, and (I think, on the couch), Geemo.
