Morton Fox's journal

Woke up early on Friday so I went out and did 4 geocaches within a few miles of the hotel. Those were all cemetery caches that I couldn't do the night before because most cemeteries have rules against going in there at night. Returned to the hotel in time for Furfright opening ceremony. Then I went to the "How to make a fursuit head" panel for a bit. I probably won't use the information, other than for making repairs, but the panelist was funny and entertaining.

Then I went out for another 4 geocaches. I used the algorithm of doing geocaches until I saw a place to have lunch, which unfortunately turned out to be Taco Bell in Newington. (but I had coupons! :) ) Returned to the hotel and fursuited for a few hours, wandering around convention space. I was surprised at how much attention the otter got; more than any other fursuit I've worn at a con. Also went around surprising some of my friends who didn't know yet that I had an otter suit.

For dinner, I went six miles from the hotel to Hometown Buffet in Wethersfield. This was yet another coupon-driven decision. There was plenty of fish. After leaving Hometown Buffet, I noticed that there were 2 geocaches between the restaurant and the highway ramp, so I found those too. So it was 3 square meals on Friday and 3 sets of geocaches. :) Returned to the hotel and fursuited some more. Went to the dance for a bit before deciding I should get to sleep.
