Anthrocon 2010 - Auctioning Dorsai tag #1000

[sonic503789]

my dear lord, i could get me a HD TV to view this video with that ammount of money

[almightytora]

I'm still amazed the tag went for so much (I'm viewer # 1,400 for this video, Vin)!

I'm still happy I won the Westin 5th floor room (as you can see me going to the Fayette Friends table to pay for it at 4:31). I didn't have to deal with the onslaught of getting the room yesterday. I just had to extend the stay one night (which I paid for) back in January.

ZOMG i would be so pissed if i won the tag but Uncle Kage was JKing XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[funnykittenz1]

wow i want a tag for my first year at anthrocon11. How do i get it? Do i have to buy it or steal it or beg for it or what?

[VinTheFox]

@funnykittenz1 In 2010 fursuiters had to beg for one. The Dorsai said they were going to stop making tags at 1000. I don't know if they have anything new planned for 2011.

[XxAbri]

xD wow... Just wow o3o

[KoraggRules]

what so great about a eartag?

[bondedlevity]

@KoraggRules you must not be a fursuiter its kind of like the "golden ticket" of fursuiting at a con someone of the con staff likes your suit or costume i know some one who been doing it for a few years and yet to get one i got my first one the first time i was in full suit at FC

[KoraggRules]

@bondedlevity oh..but i've seen that fursuit for your avatar..is that you because you were with Kijani with that parade

[bondedlevity]

@KoraggRules the suit was made last year and worn at Further Confusion 2010 where i got my first tag. The parade was a few weeks ago I'd hang out with Kijani and the group more but I work saturdays and have to ask for time off in advance

[KoraggRules]

@bondedlevity the Good Ol' Days Parade..that was you! Awesome

[bondedlevity]

@KoraggRules *takes pony bow* yes it was like 90+ degrees outside

[KoraggRules]

@bondedlevity really..and no a/c in the suit..aweful

[Talik13]

HOLY SHIT!

[almightytora]

@azurecoyote I plead insanity. XD

[djdrew11]

[JakeeGShepherd]

Wow they were really goin at it hard.... it started off at $50 and got to $1600! Haha that was epic $1300.... $1301 HA!..... $1302.

[almightytora]

@JakeeGShepherd I think the both of us like "The Price is Right". ;)

[VegaGuy15]

Thats totally insane O.o

The dude must be loaded to chuck 1600 bucks like that over a plastic tag

Atleast its goin to a good place

~V~

[KiwiBird145]

$1600 for a little ear tag? Holy shit.

[rester97]

awwwww wow

[pinball86442]

awe poor growly. you gave it your best buddy.

[almightytora]

@pinball86442 Thanks. If I remember right, James bought a lot of Blotch artwork last year, so I really had no chance of winning it.

[ZephyrTobiasWolf]

@almightytora That was me last year tora ;p

[almightytora]

@ZephyrTobiasWolf Sweet. I was at the art auction there last year too, being frustrated that I lost a few of the Blotch pieces too. XD

[ZephyrTobiasWolf]

@almightytora Aww I'm sorry, but just like you I was on a mission. At least I didn't repeat my performance ;p

[darkcammander55]

Lol that was funny to see that. Also a Totoro for auction too! Wish I was there.

[nfosterbiz]

Jeez!! I know the person who made his suit!!!

[almightytora]

Ah. At 4:00, the head Dorsai gave the winner the room number for the Dorsai party, which was after closing ceremonies and the staff dinner. (I remember the winner saying that he was invited to the party.)

[VinTheFox]

@almightytora Ah! I was wondering what they were saying. I hope it was a kickass party :)

[almightytora]

Thank you very much for posting the video, Vin. It was a great fight. I'm honored to be part of history as the person who didn't win the tag. I have two pictures of the suiter (without the tag before the auction, with the tag after the closing ceremonies), which I posted as a response to the Livejournal post.
