The Great Dickens Christmas Fair, in South San Francisco, used to have a lovely meat pie shop, the facade of which made it into a two story building with a barber shop on top. They also have this label on one of their water refill stations. IYKYK.

I keep this on hand for such occasions:

Fran, a cartoon orange tabby, looks mischievously at her phone "I'm googling it."
A pug mother shrieks "DON'T GOOGLE IT!!!" loud enough to wake her puppy.

The giant skeleton was MASSIVE. Like, twenty feet tall! It was the first time it had ever actually been fully assembled - Laika's studio was too small, so it was only the bits they needed in the shot. The whole thing was amazing.

Coraline's Garden, a good twenty feet across!

Got to see a wonderful exhibit at the museum in Portland about it and the other Laika films. Good times.

Swords, including "motion blurred" ones.

I mean, if it was Star TREK, then sure. I've seen a Targ fursuit, and we have Klingon Parties...

Well, the IT sector is pretty much run by furries. A furry microbiologist helped develop the Moderna covid vaccine. A furry invented the little green light pulse oximeter on your smartwatch (RIP Spotticus) We're *everywhere*.

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us." Truly one of the best speeches.

A tiny band of light, in which is a single pale blue dot - Earth.

Maker Faire! I wasn't really sure I was going to be able to enjoy it, given the somber mood of the last week, but fun was had!

Yep. There are documented cases of recruiters going to furcons to meet new talent. We made the Internet what it is today so we could talk to one another.

The Portland exhibit a few years back was amaaaaazing. Much love. Would have spent all day there except I was there with family and they threatened to go have dinner without me... If I could have any job on the planet... sigh.

Behold my purchases! A "crystal" knife - actually sparkly resin. Good prop for LARP. A set of heavy metal dice with sparkly blue resin inlays! Very shiny, very heavy! Came with a bag. A small treasure chest that is probably not a mimic. It came with a random red and white d20. Bacon or peppermint?

Yeah, but we drove a *lot* more. $5.509 to $7.009, locally.

If a BBQ place has a pig logo, you know it's gonna be *good*. Locally we have a popsicle stand/breakfast sandwich tent at the farmers market. They're quite excellent, and have a great logo:

Some people think oranges are a bit stupid, but that's on a par with saying black cats are unlucky.

Let's see now... Oh dear. Well, maybe the genius coyote can get Optimus up and running again. So... Coyote Artificer (traps and explosives), Warforged Fighter, Kitsune Ranger(?), and Human Bard. I've gone into dungeons with worse.
