I just spent some 30 minutes trying to get into info@honorcon.org. Had ZERO access to anything resembling a place to post a question.
I am stuck with a strong allergy to dogs. I get very sick with vomiting if I am ambushed by a dog. I cannot have someones favorite baby jumping on me, licking me, or in my face(NO ITS NOT CUTE to ME) no matter how much they love the dog. I find dog owners especially women greatly offended when I projectile vomit on their pet. I cannot help this. I take medications which help, but that means I cannot have a drink or coffee or tea. And I still get sick and must charge for the nearest bathroom, I usually make it if not tripped or blocked by the dog. This is very embarassing to me to have this sickness, but the Tester did not ask me. Will banquets etc be open to dogs? Does the hotel have certified dog free rooms? Will there be dog free seating at panels and meetings. I already think the gaming will be a no go for me as you have a pet free policy and I know other players don't want to play if I may suddenly have a response to a over friendly dog. I really want to make the trip from Washington State to the convention, but don't know if I can attend events.
Thank you. I feel better about the convention now. I had been to one in San Jose for another org who said they were pet friendly and was sick the whole period. One lady is suing me for the psycological damage to herself and her pet when she walked up to me and put her dog in my face. I had the unfortunate response my allergy occasions. I am confident I will win the suite, but it costs money for a lawyer.
Yes, However my attorney tells me some organization group from PITA and Ethical Treatment for Animals is filing a brief with the court that I failed to provide advanced warning to protect the animal. I guess I needed to wear a leaper costume with bells that rang and cry out no dogs, no dogs or something. He says if they get a good jury I may have to appeal and that I should be prepared for costs of $50,000. So I am counter suing for costs of defense and for the embarrasment and humiliation cause to me by being accosted by her dog. Hate law suites and it seems to me the only ones who will win are the Lawyers. COL.
