No, leave deep dark secrets alone. And remember:
those who don't charge may have a booth for
free, vendors who charge must fill out the
fastival permit forms.<P>

<B>Hokey dokey! Now let's see if I can home in on the right Festival. I tried dimension hopping over before, but the only Festival I found was the big one on Glik!iu Prime (I think I transcribed that properly). It culminates in the Great Gastropod Race. Took the winner three Earth days to finish the fifty-yard dash (personally, I think he might have been on their equivalent of steroids). Took me only half an Earth day to see the whole dang five-week Festival (remember, there are temporal dimensions as well).
Well, short of sending up a transdimensional
flare, I'm afraid there's little that we can
do to steer you thisaway. (If you can navigate
by fundamental energy junctures, and if we
knew you could, then Cotton might be able to
help, but otherwise...)

Any ways, even if by some whimsy of the Web of Fate, I do manage to get to the Grandville Days Festival, how are any of you going to know I'm there? None of you, not even the Illustrious Cartoonist, know what I look like. I haven't published anywhere yet and I still have not gotten onto Yerf. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.g ...

All the info I have is along the lines of
'cybernetic unicorn'.<B> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
(Speaking of which, thanks for your old Yerf submission that explained how to color pictures with color pencils. The kangaroo rat I tried that on first came out with wonderful fur coloring and lovely eyes.)

Hey, glad it was useful! (My, that <I>was</I> a while

Ah, yes... it's true, a Festival isn't a
Festival without at least a few places to buy
yummy things that are short on nutrition but
big on yumminess. <IMG SRC="

Well, technically, your tummy can't grow any
larger than the food that you put in it, and
since there's only so much food IN the contest,
you shouldn't have a problem with that.
(Finally getting full might be a consideration,
however...)<P>

Actually, thanks to the fact that I announced
it pretty far in advance, I've tracked down
most of the info I need to include those who
seem to want to attend. My redership seems to
have no problem speaking up. <IMG SRC="

So our "furry selves" are attending the festival? What a wonderful idea! If you see a mongoose there, it's probably me, then!

I'll be chilling over at the chili booth, loading up... on chili! Stay away from this foxy bastard for a few days, folks.

I wonder if Gene knows my species. I'll probably opt for shorts and a t-shirt if I'm seen.

Mongoose, check. <IMG SRC="
http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"> But..! One should keep in
mind the very nature of the Grandville Days
Festival: it's not all about furries, it's
about how humans and furries can get along!
So it won't be just furries there!

http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gi ... <P>*laughs* A lot of people have written theories on how dragons can breath fire, if they existed in real life. A theory is that dragons make a gas that turns into fire when it hits the air. The theory was introduce in the cartoon "Flight of Dragons" with added organ that starts it. I forgot the name of that organ, because I haven't seen the cartoon for a long time. Also, the cartoon used the gas to make the dragon floatable and help them to fly. Well, it is up to Gene on how I can breath fire.<P><P>------------------

Look for a large mouse in glasses and a sweatshirt, no pants unless the Festival requires 'em. (Sweatshirt reaches my ankles anyway.)<P>Er... by the way, what's funnelcake?<p>[This message has been edited by Tim Tylor (edited 10-14-2001).]

Charlie sent me a postcard saying he's having a wonderful time at the Grandville Days Festival Gene, thanks again. That must be an incredible Jam session to start the show!
