Why doesn't Lou attend Anthrocon? Is he banned? Is he unable to grift enough money for the Uber ride, hotel and admission fee?

I think it's the latter, plus having no one to go with. Cons are best experienced with friends tagging along.

That's likely it. I believe the last time he went he also had someone that he shared a room with. So between his insatiable need to buy electronics and deformed weasel art he probably has no cash left to use for a con.

Do we happen to know who he went with last time and if he is still in contact with them? I wouldn’t be surprised if he just didn’t go because he’s burned all of the bridges to people that he could leach off of.

He's close enough that he could easily get a ride there from his mother, or even just take a bus down and back. Sure, you'd want a hotel room for the weird sex pest orgies and weird sex pest raves, but I don't think Lou is actually into real-life sexual interaction.
I think the big thing is that even though everyone there is an antisocial weirdo, cons are still primarily social events - and Lou isn't a social person. If not for his obvious fetish with childishly-bright colors and artists that can draw big circles, he'd almost be a performative furry in a way: what interaction does he meaningfully have with that community other than the fact that he leeches from them?
It's also such a 'welcoming' group of rejects that they'll never, ever, ever excommunicate his worthless ass - which might be why knowing that 'his people' accept catfucking nazi-larpers just as much as him digs under his skin a bit.

Based on some digging, we know Lou attended Anthrocon in 2017, 2018, and 2019, but a lot of the records about how those cons went are pretty sparse.
- Some archived tweets are responding to his accounts from that time.
- In 2017, he submitted a (pretty terrible) story about a furry baseball player to be included in the convention guide.
- As a minor powerlevel: I was personally at AC 2017 and read the story back then. My friends and I genuinely thought it was written by a special needs kid. I was shocked to learn three years later that Lou was the one who wrote that garbage.
- Someone claiming to have roomed with Lou at AC 2017 and 2018 joined the thread and said Lou spent most of the convention begging people to unblock him, while cycling between 3–4 iPads he brought.
- Lou paid for an overly expensive registration for AC 2020, then whined that he was destitute and demanded an immediate refund if the con got canceled due to COVID-19. He eventually got the refund and immediately spent it on another iPad.
- Not directly related to Anthrocon, but we know he also attended Western PA Furry Weekend in 2018 (held just outside Pittsburgh in October). Based on what we’ve seen from chat logs, he was annoying and boundary-pushing, someone else paid for his room, and he had a giant meltdown because someone jokingly called him “Ace-hole” when reading his name during a raffle.
- Lou later tried to memory-hole this by claiming that people at WPAFW 2018 harassed him by looking up this KF thread and using the info against him. He went to WPAFW 2018, and this thread was created in 2020, so that’s impossible.

Why would you bring so much fucking money in tablets to a con? That shit is begging to get stolen. I get it's Lou, but come on man.
It sounds like you hate kids Lou. Not a good look.Not pro kids.

I love when people refer to an interaction rather than link to it because you know they’re not being honest.
Person: “we need to protect children from predators!”
Lou: “children suck #protectallhumans”
Person: “your confrontational attempt to derail the conversation away from its purpose makes me think you’re not a safe person to continue interacting with.”
Lou: “wow. WOW. All I said was protect everyone and now I, a disabled tramswoman, am unsafe in society?! W O W.”
Lou, read the room. We’re coming off a pedophile coverup from the president and a disaster that claimed the lives of almost 30 kids. People might be sensitive.
Lou reminds me of the troll who jumps in after a black person is shot to #alllivesmatter. Horseshoe Lou.

"CUTE AND ADORABLE"
I honestly don't get this "Karma Silverwind" person. Why does he suck up to someone so unpleasant and unlikeable as Lou? What's he getting out of it?

I don't get it either, but Karma only interacts with Lou's posts where Lou specifically tags him, so he probably doesn't see Lou's general rantings at all. He never responds to Lou's "given up on humanity" posts or suicide baiting, for instance. Lou doesn't respond much to Karma posting about his health troubles either though. Karma supposedly hired Lou to edit his furry fiction writings, which is also strange as Lou's own English skills are very limited, so they may talk in private.
Here's a detail I didn't know before: Lou often calls himself Karma's "adopted sister" and says he took Karma's name. I always thought that was the fictional Silverwind name Lou sometimes uses, but Karma's real name is Nicolas Franzetti. Lou actually took his new surname directly from Karma.

I'm Lou. Formerly Lard ass (currently as well). I'm wanting a pork loin and I'm a perverted loser.
I've never written anything (I don't have an Ipad for trans diabetic writing).. but.. I'm never trying.
I have however edited porn for other perverted losers and do take editing commisions.
That's got to be worth a tenner right there.

Lou parasocial tendencies get really hilarious when you read this response to Inkblitz...
And then you get to this mopey bullshit and come to find out who used that phrase...

I thought it was uncovered 2 years ago that he's persona non grata at a bunch of cons.

Damn, over what?
I'm not exactly surprised he got blocked, since Uncle Kage is notoriously strict about "optics" and indeed built his entire persona as Furry Royalty around being the chiding uncle who keeps reminding you that "SHHH what goes on at Anthrocon is Our Little Secret!", but I AM a little surprised that Lou would manage to draw Kage's attention in the first place.
Was it some mass block list, or did Uncle Kage personally review Lou and say to himself, nope, this fucker is BLOCKED?

If memory serves, it was a beg post retweet by kage that taught lou how lucrative furry grifting can be. I imagine kage recognizes lou.

Lou tagged Kage, saying he was "shocked and appalled" by Kage's behavior and "supporting Nazi groups," over Crusadercat being at Anthrocon. So Lou was asking to get blocked.

Thank you for an excellent post. That brought back back some memories, especially this incredibly accurate insult thrown at Lou: 'You inbred sugar addled mongrel.'
If he could do that we wouldn't be on page 1993.

lmfao, imagine doing a driveby troll, calling the almost-literal Godfather of the furry fandom a Nazi.
And when you're whining about wanting to go to Anthrocon, no less!
Great timing, too, a day before Inkblitz "denounces you" as a mere "fandom audience". (I'm not convinced Ink meant Lou specifically, but it definitely fits; Lou is quite possibly the most low-effort, no-contribution "furry" I've ever seen, which is a pattern with all the fandoms he enters really, from trannydom to paganism)
I'm guessing everyone reading this thread is at least passingly familiar with Uncle Kage, but for anyone who isn't, he's the head of Anthrocon, and has positioned himself as a lead voice of furry fandom since the 1990s. He's a very wealthy research chemist IRL, and also a flaming queen, which colours a lot of his work:
He really, REALLY doesn't tolerate drama. At least not in public. (behind closed doors, of course, he's just as perverted and silly as you'd expect a gay, furry, old man would be)
Why Lou would want to pick a fight with him of all people, right during prime Anthrocon Beg-Whine Season, is beyond me.
Lou HAS to know this is self-sabotage, right? Is he doing this on purpose, so as to give himself a reason to suicide bait and pretend that his lack of friends is due to outside forces beyond his control ("Uncle Kage is a nazi!"), rather than due to the fact that Lou is an odious person?
