For the first time I wore my tail outside the usual convention scene. Ok I was starting a new furmeet. I wanted to tail up so other furs can find us. Instead of bothering putting my foxtail on in the mall parking lot, I decided to wear my tail the entire day while out visiting garage sales before and after the furrmeet. I got many laughs. This not unusual for me. I am known to go out in public sporting a Hello Kitty Backpack.
Speaking of furrmets, I took the intuitive to start a Westside Metro Furmeet at Washington Square mall. I only get one or two furs but it is a start. My reasons are some furs cannot make to the cross-town meets and the Local group PDX Furs is dying a slow death. The problem with PDX furs was drama caused by a lack of leadership and displine when dealing it instigators with in the fandom. The local furs seen splits with many younger aligning with the PDX snark group and older furs attending the Tuesday afternoon lunch every week. While unemployed, I attend the Tuesday group as a way to get away for a few hours. The problem with Snark group is it a bit too young for me and tend to be more in you face and immature when dealing with the public. The next meet tentatively set for 14 Aug and may look at a bring you own food picnic.
