Visiting with my partner in a month or so and though some of my friends know people internationally we're sort of new to things. So I thought I'd try to nuzzle into a chat group or two so I'm not a total stranger. Maybe see if there are meets on while we're around

Yeah there are oodles it seems. Lots of bay area furs I guess? I remember learning the term "bay area" as a kid from visiting furry image boards so I guess you guys have always been numerous haha

Two things are infinite, the universe and Furry drama. and I'm not so sure about the universe
22:22
incidentally, with a view to avoiding drama and being totally out of my elephant when it comes to telegram etiquette - is it alright to chill in this chat, given I'm not a local? Furry partner and I are visiting in a month from Australia and we've not made many furry friends outside our community, so I thought I'd lurk and see if I can figure out what the deal is locally in terms of meets and that sort of thing
22:23
probably a more relvant questin in bigger chat rooms but still, dont want to just waddle awkwardly in and annoy everyone

i wanna hire a bike when we land and ride over.. but i'm not sure if my doggo will be fit enough. its like 15k or so i think from where we'd be staying in Uniion Square
22:30
living in Australia where everything of note is separated by hundreds of miles of desert or farming, I find it so wierd to consider that some people like you live in a country where you have all these cities and biomes so closely packed that you could take a five hour road trip and be several states away from home
22:31
man it seems pretty good now regardless
22:32
In reply to this message
not like australia though. If you visit Uluru/Ayers Rock and do some hiking around there, your nearest other landmark is probably the Coober Pedy cave town and thats like a solid days drive almost through desert.
22:34
you cant climb it anymore. which i think is good. we've kind of shat all over the culture of Abroriginal and Torres Strait Islander people consistently until recently and culturally we still havent caught up and started properly respecting the cultural heritage there
22:34
i havent actually been 9_9
22:34
i should go, but regardless of where you are its like, two days drive through the void or maybe a four hour flight.

still entertaining the idea of loading up a 4x4 with a bunch of water and fuel and beer and heading inland for a grand adventure with some friends though.. you kind of have to make your own fun on the way though is the thing. Doing similarly in the US you'd have significant cities along the way. As an australian I know about cties like Witchita, Tucson, Boulder etc
22:37
but who in the US has heard of like.. Toowoomba.. or Longreach..
22:38
nobody... because there's no culture there yet because the country is too young
22:38
oh snap. i grew up there.
22:38
nuclear test range?
22:39
heh i'm not sure thats right
22:39
you dont mean Maralinga?
22:39
Toowoomba is our largest non-capital inland city.
22:40
or so our mayor used to loudly proclaim while I was growing up there.
22:44
Well there's uranium everywhere here. So maybe it's to do with that? There's a lot of coal mining about. Which is great. Because of there's one thing this planet needs its more fossil fuel usage over any form of renewable energy. We do have some military bases here but nothing US related. Pine Gap is the only place I can think of with international significance and that's because the US uses it to cover what would otherwise be a blind spot for satellite and other communications.

i suspect the newer you are, the more fractured it seems. because if you come into it fresh you don't have any preconceived ideas of "oh, THIS is the main thing, these other things are all offshoots"... all you see is a dozen little independent squirming wriggling amoebas all going in different directions.
23:08
i still have some perverse hope that there *is* such a thing as "the" bay area furry community, and that if you're part of "it", you're part of "it". but really that probably hasn't been true for a long time, and sooner or later i will need to come to terms with that. :-(

Ah well, I'm good at half-integrating with lots of groups
V

Natural effect of any community expanding though. If there are four of you in total, one artist, one aeronautical engineer, one role playing dungeon master and one leather pup, you all get along and hang out.. but if there are twenty furs in each of those broad categories you naturally branch of and sort of do your own thing

i helped run a meet here that went from 20 or so people a week to around 80-120.. and by that stage it was like.. why are gossippy teenagers being thrown into the same mix as bookish illustrators with social anxiety?
23:12
Deleted Account
there aren't very many other "me"s. so i guess it's great for the twenty artists, the twenty aeronautical engineers, and the twenty leather pups... all of them have nineteen others in their group... but me, i used to have three others in my group and now i have zero.
V

so it makes a lot of sense that any outsider who only sees the end product as it is now will see things as fractured when really its more that the locals all know where to go to be with their people

23:15
Vurt
well i'm an artist, my partner is a sysadmin and we hang out with a rubber cheetah and his inflatable otter. so its not like we're separated on any of those basiseses. still its easy to see things as fractured when you look at what has effectvely become a balanced society of niches.. because there's rarely anyone with the patience and fortitude to link them all together socially

To go from Santa Rosa to the southern part of San Jose is more than an hour

I live in Vallejo so driving an hour to get to some of the meets I've seen is the usual

it's that softening... that "aw... hey, c'mere, sure you're an aeronautical engineer and i'm a leather pup, but it's not so bad, we're all furs, we're all here for each other" feeling... that i miss so freaking much. like, you just all pile into the big warm snuggle pile and it doesn't matter who's who, you're just so glad to be somewhere safe and accepted.

And traffic can be absolutely horrible. If I left work at 4pm to drive home it readily will take an extra 30-60 minutes with usual traffic. More if there's an accident

I remember that feeling.. when i was in highschool and everyone was just kind of on the social shitheap together. so nevermind if I dont get my new friends obsession with tails or feet or whatever, because its easy to accept him and he finds it easy to accept me and really we're all just average people who find enjoyment in unusual things... nowadays those unusual things arent so unacceptable or strange any more, which is good! because the furries i meet who are in highschool arent as likely to get the shit bullied out of them.. but als is bad? Because we lose that sense of brother/sister/whatever-hood and have the freedom to bicker over stupid stuff

i joined a big Bay Area Fur chat, and while its good for, i guess, murry purry illustrations and that sort of thing, its also too hectic to have your own identity.. which feels a lot like the scene here.. but the issue then is finding people on the same wavelenth as you, when people on that wavelength, by virtue of being more chill, are likely not the sort to feel any compulsion to let a stranger into their world when strangers in the fandom so often turn out to not be the sort of people you really want to form a long term connection with

ace (in the other group) actually was the person who got me to realize and get it through my thick head that a lot of people i guess agree with you on that. the video chat thing.
23:45
ace said that the best way for him to get the emotional thrust of what someone means, what they're really saying, is if the person records a video message.
23:46
i hadn't thought of it that way before, because for me it's when someone really takes the time to think about what they mean, what their heart is saying, and then thoughtfully types it out, taking the time to choose their words carefully. that's what gets emotion across the best for me. but at least now i know that not everyone is like that.

Yea, it's pretty fun to see his bulging eyes and flaring nostrils every once in a while. Really sets the mood for the other chat :3

i feel the way you do. i feel so much better when givn the opportunity to edit my words and ensure they convey what i want them to and nothing else. I guess being a furry too its nice being able to be seen as a little lemur icon that speaks in text rather than by physical self talking to someone

Some people usually go by icons because they are said to have a poor self-esteem regarding their image

it actually really bothers me that someone might be judging me based on how good the artist who drew my icon was, and how cute (or not cute) it is. i want to be judged based on my words and actions.

that too. yeah.
23:57
i'd rather hug someone who's *not* in a fursuit because then i feel more like the message i'm sending is... you don't need to be some perfect idealized "cute fox" image... you're perfect as you are, overweight, zits, whatever, and you're loved and accepted.

but while I want to make everyone I care about feel loved regardless of how far they might deviate from the bodytype of someone I might typically feel attracted to, I still feel higher self esteem when i have some control over how I'm perceived. No amount of working out or wardrobe scrutiny is going to make me look less masculine or tall. soooooo

I find that the Bay Area furs aren't really fragmented more like separated by traffic. Drama does tend to be a huge thing here, but I think that is the same for any fur area. You get enough people drawn to a fringe culture many of whom are high intelligence but lacking social skills that tend to sleep with each other...
08:44
The traffic is a major issue here. I rarely go to San Jose because it's 1 hour without traffic and two hours to SF. Outside of the immediate Bay Area, there tend to be so few furs that you just tend to have a few friends who you hang out with naturally that are furry but that's about it

i have a call with $hsmvendor tomorrow morning at 10. if they don't have an answer for us about the problem we're having with their pkcs11 implementation, i don't know what we're going to do. it's a pretty bad bug.
20:55
well, actually i do know what we're going to do. we've discovered on our own that when the problem occurs, if you do a C_Finalize and then a C_Initialize, and then re-make the session and re-find the key and all that stuff... then it starts working again. but that's an immense amount of effort for a workaround, since it requires read/write locking since no other thread can be attempting a crypto operation while the C_Finalize/C_Initialize is going on.
20:55
so if i have to work around it, i will, but i *really really* don't want to have to.

In reply to this message
Sounds like it's losing the session due to latency timeout; the finalize/initialize resets it
21:15
We've had to do that a few time son our safenets but if you increase the latency window on the HSM it helped

but that was across a WAN link

There are a few one hit wonders involved, like Dreams by Quench, Out of the Blue by System F, Ferry Corsten's remix of Madagascar by Art Of Trance, Universal Nation by PUSH, Age Of Love by the group of the same name. Not to mention the club mix of Forever by Bruderschaft and VNV Nation, if you're into something more underground-ish.

it's going to take me a while to get through all of that, but thank you :-)

As far as albums go, I'd stick with Above & Beyond and Robert Miles' self-titled albums, Ferry Corsten's L.E.F. and Twice In A Blue Moon album, Tiesto's first three studio albums as well as his older mix albums, Shivers by Armin van Buuren, all the old mix albums made by Paul Oakenfold along with his Perfecto compilation that came out in 2000, Infected Mushroom's first three albums if you're into the psychedelic stuff :3 , as well as every album that BT and Paul van Dyk has made, including Movement in Still Life and the first issue of Politics of Dancing.
Not to mention the first three songs from Darude's Before the Storm album, since the rest of the songs don't sound as different.

Not sure whether this is an annoying or an interesting question to ask, but do any of you head out to Yosemite much?

You got me curious and I looked up the part in my grandfather's autobiography about his Yosemite hiking trip in 1936. Not much relevant info for you though.

Living in Aus I just have no intuitive grasp of what an American autumn in October is like.. its spring here and the average day is around 86F, but even in winter it only tends to get down around 66F.. so I'm wondering if the reason that all the lodging there is booked out right now while all the tents are free is because they're just unlivably horrible to stay in this time of year
18:31
thought maybe with you eggies living so close you might take trips out there occasionally
18:32
Deleted Account
If it were a lower elevation, like Big Basin, I'd say October is no problem with a three-season sleeping bag.
18:33
but Yosemite is a place where there's still snow on the ground in July.
18:33
so I don't know!!
V
18:37
Vurt
its in a valley. y thought is we could just pop in to walmart or something and buy a couple of winter sleeping bags to supplement what they have there.. the fact that they're available while lodges are booked makes me nervous though. Maybe we should just dive in regardless. its not an adventure if you dont risk a few missteps
18:38
then we just need to find someone to give the sleeping bags to before we head back :p haha

my mother called randomly this evening, and i asked her, and she said (paraphrasing) "Oh, yeah, I've definitely been cold in those tent cabins!" — i don't know what that means really. :-P but your idea of a winter sleeping bag sounds good to me.
V
22:29
Vurt
*nodnoddles* yeah there's no real insulation to that makes sense. I think it might be the cost that puts people off more than the cold. Something like 120-140 per night for a tent with a light and a bear proof box with no ability to cook food and no power. Pay a lot get a little. I suppose that's good if the money goes into maintaining the park but Im not sure how much that would be true. More googling in my future I think :)
22:29

eeeeeep. no cooking? they don't allow propane?

i would have a hard time with that. if you're cold and you don't want to get out of bed, even just the ability to heat up some water... even if you don't turn the hot water into coffee, even if you just drink the hot water... can help SO MUCH.
V
22:35

Well there aren't any communal cooking areas. I think there are eateries there that people are guided to but the food isn't great. I guess we'd take a loaf if bread and some condiments if we were just staying a day or two.. hmm
