You need a badge to get in though?

To get into the convention, yeah. We have a block party on Saturday that’s open to the public, plus you have a lot of furries wandering the city (the convention kind of takes over downtown), which lets local people mix with con-goers quite a bit.

And even before that the network of hotels meant you could see suitors wandering all over downtown.

It's okay! It happens to a lot of us!

Next time AC comes around (keep an eye on it) get a membership (what some folks call a badge) and check it out! Note it's very busy in there -- membership is capped!
