We're coming to you, largely because we can, from a Northwest Airlines WorldClub lounge in the Detroit airport. All Northwest flights seem to be running on schedule today but I still sympathize with those of you who wrote to tell me that your recent trip on this carrier didn't go as planned.
Nothing much to add to my Anthrocon report except that after four days there, it's unsettling to be among crowds where no one is dressed as a puma. I hope I didn't sound like I was suggesting that everyone rush to attend a "furry" convention, especially this one next year. Not only are they not for everyone but the Anthrocon management would dearly appreciate it if their gatherings didn't get much bigger and, therefore, less intimate. I have nothing against big conventions and when folks complain that the Comic-Con in San Diego has lost "something" as attendance totals have reached five and now six digits, I always say, "Yes, but there are other conventions and maybe you'd be happier at one of them."
I want to thank all those who responded to my request for a scan from a Simon-Kirby Fighting American comic book. I got what I needed, thank you. I also got ten more messages telling me the Blue Rabbit is Stitch.
The next time you hear from me, I should be in my natural habitat. Catch you later.
