Greetings, one and all, for it is 2009, and I have not updated this thing for nearly a year.
I think the phrase "my bad" would be in order.
Regardless--for those of you who still keep an eye on this, I have something on which I could use your input.

Next month, I will be presenting two panels on health-related topics at Califur '09, here in the scenic, smoggy, southerly regions of California.
But, I want to present the kind of things that would be likely to generate interest. After all, people don't usually go to conventions for furs, expecting to get health tips.
I'm going to make it as fun and wacky as possible, but I need to select topics as soon as I can so that I can see if I can get some anthro artists to whip up some art to go with the presentation slides--we'll be having PowerPoint projection on hand, y'see.
So, here's a list of tentative topics and titles thereof that I've come up with. You're welcome to select two (or more) from the list, offer different names for things already on the list, or even suggest a topic not mentioned here. What's important is that you describe what you think about this whole thing, so that I can get your input.

Existing Topics:
-Your Fursuit isn't Your Only Skin (dermatological issues for costume-wearers, and/or acne)

I definitely need as much input on this stuff as possible, guys, so let me know what you think! And if you're willing to contribute anything to the final presentation (or know someone who probably would), be sure to let me know--I want this thing to have as much punch as possible!
