Me at CF8, the first furry con that I met with any success in print sales, thanks in part to my first gryphon folio ('sides, the only other furry con I had been to was CFE2, so it's not like I had a history of failed cons to celebrate coming out of.. was still very nice tho, and gave me a boost that I really needed at the time :).  This was about a month before Tursi and I became a couple, so I find it interesting foreshadowing that someone had left a lion plushie on my table that con :)
