Going to use today to catch up on photos because I didn't have the energy after work to write up the Sunday trip to Michigan's Adventure. It's coming.
Ah, it's any nondescript void space, so you know what that must mean: furries are convening!
Yup, not even into Motor City Furry Con registration and there's Avali and Protogen suiters hanging around.
Chicken purse! You bring one of these out and around and people aren't going to stop talking about it. (This is not ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger's famed chicken purse, as that's a moulded rubber ball and not something that could pass for a puppet.)
Some milling around at the first event we got to, which I believe was the trash animals SIG? You can see Pakrat in the background there.
I don't see what's confusing about the con hotel layout.
Oh hey, one of a nonzero number of inflatable dinosaurs that would be around the place.
Photographs printed out on real photo paper from last year's Motor City and from some furry bowling events, which made me remember I had Twitchers's photo from last year in the car.
Also this was left on the counter, free for the taking. I have no use for this and probably still have some in some box in the basement somewhere anyway, but it's neat to see the old things in pristine shape.

I mean, look at this. I suspect the artist brought their own pen to bear on it but the crayon work is still really good as crayon work.
The dance already? Well, it's big criss-crossing patterns of light in a black void so it must be the dance!
It's hard to believe the dance would be over so quick but you see the sign wishing us goodnight and telling us to get out there.
Tune in later this week to see how long my resolve to take only photos that are interesting or particularly unique to the 2024 iteration of this convention lasted!
Trivia: Big Ben, the great bell in the Great Clock of Westminster, is the second bell cast for the job; the original was cracked beyond repair in testing. Source: Marking Time: The Epic Quest to Invent the Perfect Calendar, Duncan Steel. And yes, it was recast by the same firm that made the Liberty Bell, so, these guys and prestige bells, am I right?
Currently Reading: Lost Popeye Zine, Volume 46: The Fresh-Water Denizen, Tom Sims, Bela Zaboly. Editor Stephanie Noelle. A bunch of jokes about Popeye and Wimpy going fishing at Lake Lakelake, where the fish are wise to them and also bigger than either of these two.
