Today was another weird day

Ahh, but the key words in that sentence are used to.

Nothing is wrong, per SE, with public tailing. It just tends to draw unnecessary attention, which is awkward if you don't enjoy unnecessary attention. Afterwards, the level of unusual that's generated generates a sense of awkwardness and discomfort, which devolves into fear and nonunderstanding.
For some people, it would be like if someone walked around in public in full S&M gear (which I know happens, but still).
I don't know.

Nothing wrong with it, but you better be ready to answer some awkward questions about your sex life.

I suppose there is the old fall back, "Is it true you do it doggy-style so you can both watch Jeopardy at the same time?"

And people wonder why I didn't let the door hit my ass on the way out of the furry madhouse....

Too bad you didn't get more of a chance to converse with them, you could have slipped in a subtle plug for WCOTP.

Which actually makes the incident even funnier when looked at from the opposite angle.
Here's a bunch of furries who just encountered a decently known artist of the genre and never even knew it.
I wonder how many times that's happened to unsuspecting people.

This event could have also been made funnier if he had your art tattooed onto him.
Imagine seeing your art inked on a total stranger's flesh! I suppose it happens too.....

To be fair, they might know him under a different name (if they even have namebadges there). I know I don't know what most fandom people look like off the top of my head.

That said, I did run into a member of the fandom at a local grocery store, without any accessories. It was an interesting experience.

YOO SUR R A SELF HATING FURR

I think there's a huge difference between being a self hating furry and hating on wannabe therians failing at life spectacularly in public.

[mister_f]

There's also a difference between being completely serious about a topic, and being downright silly about it. And the ability to tell the difference between the two is kinda easy.

You sir, have FAILED.

...

You know, you've just practically invited every furry in the Madison area to come tail trolling your Sam's(tm)?

If that was going to happen it would have looong ago.

LULZ, CYD, etc. have been advertising where Jim works for months. Zippo from all that. Maybe they know that ticking off somebody where there is a security team is a bad idea.

[baloo_ursidae]

Or for that matter, ticking off someone who is known to have the capability to shoot back. :o)
