ANE 2024 Meme
Anthro New England (ANE) 18-21JAN2024 / Boston, MA //
(Haha, hey, look! I actually titled it properly, ‘Anthro New England,’ instead of calling it ‘Anthro Northeast’ like I did a few years ago, lmaoooo.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ANE 2024 / TL;DR:
-Fursuits: Raze, the Raptor-Doberman Dinodog / Sniper, the Kestrel Dutch Angel Dragon / Draco, the Piebald Doberman //
-I'm trying out for the Dance Comp and Dance Battles ‘Dragon Dojo’ as Raze, the Dinodog!
-Looking forward to the Fursuit Photo and Parade!
-I'll announce on Twitter/Instagram/etc what suit is coming out and when
-Badges and bits pickup! I will have ALL deliverables on me while suiting! See me in the wild? Come grab me to snatch your stuff!
-Interested in ordering stickers/magnets/pins for AT-CON PICKUP? Check out the Merch Order Form HERE ->
https://forms.gle/hanX7wyaHeA3Z7UWA
(Reiterated from prior Meme Journal to get my point across.)
Slightly different format is slightly different! Let’s see how many cons roll around to see how many folks are copy-pasting this version from me.
I see folks continue to copy-paste the entirety of these Journals from me, with y’all only vaguely altering the wording for your own answers, (if you even bother to change my own answers/information and all you do is change names of fursuits/events...are you seriously that lazy? And yes, it’s obviously copy-pasted when your formatting is exactly the same as what’s here.) If you wanna use this template, just please change your freaking answers so they’re not nearly or actually identical to my own information. That shit makes me feel so icky. And frankly, it’s creepy as hell.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-Basic Convention Info
-Where are you staying? Main hotel!
-What day are you getting there? Thursday afternoon.
-How are you traveling? Venator-class starship.
-How long are you going? Thursday through Monday!
-What is the best way to find you? Just keep an eye out for my fursuits! I’ll be announcing, at minimum, on Twitter, Instagram, FaceBook, and Tumblr what suit I’ll be headed out as. If applicable, I’ll include the event I’m headed to as well!
If nothing else works and you need to get a hold of me for something, (such as picking up a Badge Commission/Print/Merch,) please note me here or send me a Direct Message on Twitter! ( twitter.com/Twilight_Saint ) Twitter is the best and quickest way of contact for me as I will receive mobile notifications. Please note though that I am REALLY busy at cons, and there’s a chance I may not see your message/be able to reply right away.
-If I see you, how should I get your attention? Give me a shout! I’ll answer to Twilight/TwilightSaint and/or the name of the fursuit I’m in at the time. If I seem busy/distracted, you can also get the attention of my handler.
If I’m busy interacting with someone in front of me, and you’re standing off to the side - I may hear you and be aware of you, but can’t see you. So if you’re trying to talk to me, please get in front of me and give a wave or something so I know you want to interact. Also if I don’t notice you/get distracted/walk away, it’s NOT personal! My handler and/or myself probably didn’t even see you. So again, please be sure to get their or my attention before I scurry off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personal Info
-What is your gender? Punk-ass dude.
-How tall are you? I’m exactly the size of one whole-ass idiot.
-Can I talk to you?
Sure, but I am a silent suiter while performing in character! Please be respectful!
And yes, I specify ‘while performing in character’ because if I’m in a quiet area, I’ll probably strike up a conversation with ya! But if I’m around folks I don’t know well, a loud area, I’ll switch back to quiet mode as I perform. If it’s especially noisy, I prefer not to talk because I don’t want to yell and lose my voice for the rest of the con, haha. So if I’m chatting with ya then switch back to silent mode, I’m just getting back into character performance mode!
-Can I touch you? Please ASK before doing so! I still have some soft spots from old wounds and surgery recovery. I definitely can’t rough-house like I used to be able to. Hugs and being generally gentle though is fine!
-Can I buy you drinks? No, thank you! That being said, IF I’m in a high-energy area (like the dances, etc,) or am otherwise having obvious signs of overheating/heatstroke…then yes, please get me some water! But only if it’s sealed, from a designated water station, or I’m present while it’s being served.
-Can I give you food?
If you give me Chex Mix, I’ll drop it like it’s hot! B)
-Do you drink alcohol or smoke?
I definitely do and will drink alcohol, haha. Regarding smoking, I prefer loose-leaf tobacco, low-to-zero percent nic vaping, and cigars. I won't partake in regular cigarettes or weed, though!
-Can I give you stuff? Sure! I appreciate art and trinkets and the like. I encourage you to physically hand them to my friend and handler, however! If I look at the item then immediately give it to my handler, it’s not because I don’t appreciate the item! It’s because I don’t have the best dexterity with my giant fursuit paws, and I just don’t want to drop and lose whatever you’ve just given me!
-Can I hug or snuggle with you? Please ASK before touching me! But yes, I’m open to hugs and gentle rough-housing in character!
If others are currently interacting with me and you would like a hug/photo/also to interact, please be patient! While fully performing in character and interacting with another person, more than likely I simply won’t see you due to my moving around so much and so quickly, and also due to my focus being on the person I’m playing with at the time! If you need my attention, please approach my handler or tap me on the shoulder. Please do not step in and interrupt others, or worse, physically shove them away.
-Anything I shouldn't do around/to you?
Unless I know you personally and we're goofing around, please don't touch me without asking or alerting me, first. Also, if folks are trying to get my attention, take photos, or talk to me, please don't physically hang onto me for too long! I like to be sure I try and see everyone! And, in general - and this goes for many suiters - please be careful with food or open drinks around me when I'm in suit! If you wanna get a picture or interact, I please ask that ya hand any food or open drinks to friends or someone nearby who is willing to help hang onto 'em for a moment for you. Just takes one wrong bump, and I do NOT wanna be wearing a cup of hot coffee, lolol.
-Should I be aware of anything while interacting with you?
If I'm in fursuit...you may get whacked by a tail or ears! XD Apologies in advance, it's an occupational hazard! Especially if I'm in a crowded area while I'm wearing Raze, be aware of that RAPTOR TAIL! Also depending on the fursuit I'm wearing, I may have significant blind spots. So I may hear ya, but may not see ya just yet!
-Are you nice? I’ll sit there like a loaf and be a happy snake unless you treat me like shit! 8D
-Can I come with you for food/fun/etc? Nope! Haha. But for real, my schedule at conventions is very dynamic and centered around dance events! And while I am fursuiting, I have zero access to my phone and thus messages if you’re trying to reach me. While I sure do my best to meet up with folks, sometimes my schedule is very hectic and plans are made last-minute.
While in suit, I have ZERO access to my phone! Yes, that means Telegram, Twitter, and any other sort of social media or messages. If you happen to message me while I’m suiting, (which I do A LOT at conventions,) I will not reply because I don’t have my phone on me! I will see it when I get out of suit. Please be patient! :>
-Can I take your picture? In suit, yes please! I loooove looking through con pictures and videos after conventions – such great memories! If you happen to take any, please link them to me or tag me on social media!
Please post any and all photos of other suiters and myself on Furtrack.com!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-Convention Plans
-Are there any panels you might be attending? I’ll be at the auditions for Dance Comp and ‘Dragon Dojo’ Dance Battles! Claws crossed that hopefully I’ll see y’all at the finals for each event! I’m also looking forward to the Fursuit Group Photo and Parade as well! Unsure about which critter I’ll take for those, but I’ll announce it on Twitter/Instagram/etc at the con itself. Otherwise, I’ll be fursuiting all over the place!
-Will you be suiting? I’ll be a stupid, dumb animal as MUCH as (in)humanly possible, haha.
-What suit(s) is/are you bringing?
Raze, the Raptor-Doberman Dinodog / Sniper, the Kestrel Dutch Angel Dragon / Draco, the Piebald Doberman //
-Do you have an artist table?
Nope! I was actually low-key hoping to have a shitty lil’ table in the Adult Market area to maybe sell some shitty lil’ plush fursuit bits, but alas! I saw the info after the application for a table had already closed. Maybe next year or at another convention! I’d like to try selling someday, if even for a limited window of time. With my hectic dance-centered-event schedule at cons, it really would be difficult for me to man a den/alley table for any prolonged period of time.
-What time(s) do you usually get out of/go to bed at the con?
I do my best to be up and about by 0800! Especially since most events I attend, (dance-centered events, Den opening, etc,) happen between 10-1200. When I hit the hay really depends! Typically between 1200-0300, whether I need to rest up for a dance event the next day, or end up shootin' the shit with friends until late!
-Where will you be most of the time during the day/s? Running between panels and dance events, and suiting absolutely everywhere! Evenings will be reserved for chilling, chow, and then the raves. I will do my best to put out a report of my intended movements and fursuit I’ll be running around in prior to going full beast mode! This is so folks know which fursuit to keep an eye out for if they’d like a photo or to say hi! I’ll be cross-posting...basically everywhere - Twitter, Instagram, and FaceBook for sure at the VERY least.
-Are you doing anything for the theme?
Not plannin’ on it! I haven't done anything convention-theme-specifically for a long time, and it's not usually something I personally get into!
-Will you be performing? Yep! Mainly just via fursuiting around and hitting up the dance events. Also the nightly dances.
-What/where will you be eating? Most often in my room with friends getting delivery and downing snacks.
-Will you be going to parties?
If I’m invited to one with folks I know and trust, then maybe! Otherwise, prolly not.
-What's your goal(s) for the con this year? Check out ANE again! I’ve been achin’ for a cold-winter con. And the last time I attended, it was still at the old hotel. Excited to check it out and see the New England furs again!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for readin’ and heedin!’ Safe travels, and see y’all soon!

2024 Calendars Shipped / Thank you! //
Update for Calendar folks!
All parcels have been dropped off to USPS and will be enroute soon! US orders should arrive quite quickly - likely within a week! Maybe 1-2 weeks at the MAXIMUM since the federal holidays are right around the corner. And OCONUS orders should arrive within the month! Again, pending the holiday season and your country's customs policies, as well.
Friendly reminder for OCONUS orders! I have had, in the past, some calendars arrive at OCONUS destinations at about the three month mark, (which is insane and I /think/ was an outlier case. Typically they arrive in two weeks or less.) So if your parcel is taking its sweet time, let me know and we'll both keep a close eye on the tracking information.
Huge thanks to everyone who placed an order this year! The farthest back I remember starting selling calendars is 2017, which is crazy. This year, even with all the shit goin' on, *gestures vaguely at everything happening in the world* I think y'all got a record amount. My extent of record-keeping for these things is 'how many bags of packages do I need to carry with me to the post office' and this year, y'all had my hands hurting something fierce! Significantly more than in the past, haha. I really do appreciate it. And I hope y'all enjoy the artwork/scaly things/fursuits/spicy that will adorn your walls for the next 12 months! X)
Happy HOWLiGAYs and cheers to 2024!

Last time I checked, I’m an idiot…but I’m not a Google Doc template. That shit makes me feel so icky. And frankly, it’s creepy as hell. :<
-----
-Basic Convention Info
-Where are you staying? Main hotel! WHICH, by the way, sold out super fast this year! Cheers to BWS growing exponentially just in the past three years, damn girl!
-What day are you getting there? Arriving Thursday, likely by late afternoon!
-How are you traveling? Like a Bantha!
-How long are you going? Thursday through Sunday night! Yeah yeah, I’m dippin’ before the NYE dances and all that. Already committed to some stuff at home! I’ll be tired as all hell by that point, anyway… Check out my planned con schedule a bit lower in this Journal! O.o
-What is the best way to find you? Just keep an eye out for my fursuits! I’ll be announcing, at minimum, on Twitter, Instagram, FaceBook, and Tumblr what suit I’ll be headed out as. If applicable, I’ll include the event I’m headed to as well!

-Personal Info
-What is your gender? Dumbass idiot gremlin punk boy. Also a dumbass.
-What are your pronouns?
He, Him, His. This applies to out of suit, and in each of the suits I'm bringing, as well! All the suits I’m bringing and performing as are male.
-How tall are you? Half stupid, half dumb - I make up an entire idiot!
-How should I introduce myself to you?
If I'm in suit, I may not recognize you right away just due to fuzzy fursuit vision! So when you initially come up to me, just tell me your name, or, better yet, show me your badge! I have terminal 'recognizes the suit/character/artwork before I remember the name' syndrome, lol.
-Can I talk to you?
Sure, but I am a silent suiter while performing in character! Please be respectful!
And yes, I specify ‘while performing in character’ because if I’m in a quiet area, I’ll probably strike up a conversation with ya!

-Can I buy you drinks? Oh hell yeah, haha. I won’t turn down an offer of a drink, especially an ice-cold beer! B) Just due to COVID and being immunocompromised due to medical issues, I probably won’t drink after you, though, unless I know you’re 100% healthy.
-Can I give you food?
Give me a snack, and I’ll do a little dance for you!
-Do you drink alcohol or smoke?
I definitely do and will drink alcohol, haha. Regarding smoking, I prefer loose-leaf tobacco, low-to-zero percent nic vaping, and cigars. I won't partake in regular cigarettes or weed, though!
-Can I give you stuff? Absolutely! I appreciate art and trinkets and the like. I encourage you to physically hand them to my friend and handler, however!

It’s because I don’t have the best dexterity with my giant fursuit paws, and I just don’t want to drop and lose whatever you’ve just given me!
I also may have…the Chicken Purse on me! If I do, I’ll encourage you to put items in the Chicken to keep them safe! And also since, y’know, you have hands! XD
-Can I hug or snuggle with you? Please ASK before touching me! Gentle hugs and interactions only, please!
If others are currently interacting with me and you would like a hug/photo/also to interact, please be patient!

Prooooobably not! I haven't done anything convention-theme-specifically for a looong time, and it's not usually something I personally get into! I think the most I’ve done, theme-wise, for BWS, is my posts boosting the con with various pirate-themed stickers and edits, lmaooo. I totally dig the theme, don’t get me wrong! I’ll just be hauling enough shit as is and will be too busy to put together a whole ensemble or anything big like that.
-Will you be performing? Yep! Mainly just via fursuiting around and hitting up the dance events. Also the nightly dances.
-What/where will you be eating? Most often in my room with friends getting delivery and downing snacks. IF I eat at ALL, haha. I’m gonna be so busy runnin’ between all the events and doin’ Bucket Brigade, I may just have to have some folks shove snacks into my fursuit maw, lmao.
-Will you be going to parties?
Not planning on it!
-What's your goal(s) for the con this year? Have fun at this smaller con and get in some serious hang and party time with my friends! I’m excited to see how BWS has grown. Just hearing about how quickly the hotel sold out, AND that they’ve had record sign-ups for the dance comp, I’m so glad to hear it’s bloomin’ so much, and just within a few years! Claws crossed they’ll make way into a larger hotel or space in the future. I know the first year I went, it was a freaking blast!
