I bet you my night is more uncomfortable than yours...
So, I just landed in Pittsburgh and checked into the hotel. Turns out there is a furry convention happening right now...
Furries are people who dress up as cartoon animals. I could not make this up if I tried.. Most of them are just lonely people that escape stuff through comic books, some are people who are seriously into this notion (dressing up as a stuffed animal) as a fetish.
Just a bit off, huh? :lol: And I thought I got wierd in college.
So anyway, the ride up the elevator consisted of me, a terrified business woman who sounded like she was from England and really wanted off of the elevator, one guy dress as a racoon with music coming out of him, his girlfriend, two old guys in dragon t-shirts all over each other, a stop at every floor with a DIFFERENT kind of animal looking into the elevator and cursing because there's not room for their tails....you get the idea. Let me state for the record that I am a very open-minded guy but seeing someone in a raccoon suit outside of a football game or a kid's show just ain't right.
So...needless to say, there are a lot of animal sounds coming from the hallway. Next time you're in Pittsburgh, check the convention schedule...if something like this is in town, do NOT stay at the Westin.
And I thought dog people were weird. Now I really know "dog people" who are weird.
