WORLD OF RAWR

Hey.

So with a bit less than a month left before this event, I thought about leaving this handy note for "How to interact with me when you see me without it having to be awkward". I picked this up from my friends who go to conventions in other places and thought it would help here.

Why? Because it saves you the time of wondering things like "does this person like hugs?" "does this person drink?" "does this person like going to clubs or bars?" and lets you see what you're getting into ahead of time.

I like doing that.

Anyway, here's a handy list of things:

• Just ask me. The more direct the better and definitely before you do things. For example, you wanna hug? Just ask beforehand. It doesn't need to be super formal; a simple gesture will do. I'm really not hard to read when I want to hug people and when I don't. In fact, I've already asked people if I can hug them when I see them so I can enjoy the moment when I do without worrying about it. It's kind. It's cool. It's sexy. I might even award you with a lil' smooch. Ask before you do the things. This is the biggest thing for me. That said...
• I do like hugs. Hugs are great. I enjoy them. I like to swing people around when I do, but I promise I will ask before I do that.
• I will be in a mask. Especially in large crowds. Mostly for my own comfort and peace of mind.
• I'm fairly friendly. I also have a dry sense of humor. Feel free to introduce yourself if you see me! I generally enjoy talking to people at meetups and things!
• Do you drink? A bit. Mostly spirits rather than beers these days. I'm down to have a few.

I'll update/edit if I think of anything, but there you go.

See you all in a few weeks and may everything you've ordered for the occasion arrive on time.
