Description
Everybody at Great Lakes Fur con kept telling me that the staff at the Old Chicago Restaurant wouldn't let fursuiters wear their head on when at the restaurant. The rumor was that the manager was afraid of masked people coming in to rob the place. I figured it was a totally unsubstantiated rumor but thought there might have been a grain of truth within there somewhere., Someone probably asked permission and got told No. Well, I feel rather silly walking around with my head under my arm, ESPECIALLY in a place where ever other booth is jammed with kids. So when it was time for dinner, I figured that I'd rather for forgiveness rather than ask for permission. I brought along my handy straw that is made from some teflon water line, slunk in, and sat down with my friends and ordered a beer. My I.D. was in a badge holder along with a $20 bill, so that worked when it came time to order.
He heh! Nope, nobody came by to ask me to leave, the staff was prepared for such things, and the booths looked like prairie dog holes with all the kid's heads popping up and down to take a look. Once the pizza arrives, I did remove my head, and zipped down to my waist, at which time I looked like a regular joe in a white Underarmour shirt. and no one noticed. then after pizza time, I zipped back up and viola! Tycho was back, and the heads started popping up & down in the booths again. A few brave kids with their mommies came over for high-fives and some pictures.
The fursuit and the beer. I think this might be a new tradition for me, thanks to Dogbomb who gave me the idea! It was a Lienenkugel special draft, very good!

That's awesome! It's always funny to see how kids react to Tycho, and more serious adults for that matter.

If it works, then great!! The question is, do you wish to portray the image of Tycho as a beer drinking dog? If you have no issue, then I don't.. Personally, you won't see Eddie doing it, maybe Shaemus, however, Dan D and my future character, yes..
By the way, the bar at the Hyatt during MFF would not allow heads to be worn in the bar, even if you were just passing thru..

The bar at the Hyatt *did* let me wear my head at the bar. I only had to show them that my face matched my I.D. first and then I got to sit down in full-suit. That's where I first got to try out the drinking straw idea

I have some long flex straws that I got through Amazon that I try and carry one with me so I can drink without beheading myself. I've been told I'm really "cute" holding a glass in both paws while drinking through a straw..
That's awesome that they did.. They wouldn't even let me walk through with my head on..

Hi Ed,
No, I definitely do not want to make people think that Tycho has a beer drinking vice,
but I probably am not opposed to think about an anthropomorphic Australian shepherd dog as having a beer as a treat every once and a while. It kinda sorta fits into the Aussie culture.

Just like the Scottish culture that Shaemus is part of!! So next time we meet, the two shepherd dogs shall have a beer together!

Thank you, I'm glad you like reading about these adventures!
BY THE WAY:
Thanks for the tip on the retirement center. I took my children with me and visited a local center that specializes in the care of people who struggle with Alzheimer's disease. The reactions and smiles were wonderful. I hope to return again soon. I got the idea from you.

it's pretty nice you got to wear your fursuit head in their without anyone coming up and asking you to leave. to me I don't think any human dares to try to cross with a furry.
