A: A sensible alternative to dropping E’s and going out clubbing
Q: As you run around through out the day, what do you use to keep properly fueled and on the top of your game?
A: (not to be repeated… Coffee in the morning, G and T for lunch and then dropping E’s and going out clubbing after dark)
Q: If you had a really fluffy bunny, what would you name it?
A: Fluffy Bunny…. no imagination

Just added this year will be a feather exchange. So get to making your feathers now and get ready to hunt down your other ‘feathered friends’ and see what plumage you can acquire. Don’t know what a feather exchange is? Have a look at this previous article about Feathermania. The rules are simple, make a bunch of feathers (in any shape really) that symbolize you. Bring them to the convention, and trade your feather for another persons feather.
