**Toddly** , not much - I mostly saw him in passing or talking with more than one person. I think he was interested in attending the convention I’m throwing next year ([Gaylaxicon 2004 - San Diego](http://www.gaylaxicon.org/2004) for those who might be interested). I know at one point someone sat him down and was asking him smart, pointed, non-offensive questions, like, “Is it difficult to get a job?” He was quiet, but answered honestly. And I understand he just _recentyl_ discovered furry fandom, so it’s not like you can blame it on those freaks. 😉
