Assuming Anthrocon doesn't get canceled, I'd love to see the mental gymnastics Lou would inevitably have to make in order to explain how he was able to spend an entire week in a hotel in downtown Pittsburgh despite supposedly not having enough money to feed himself.
Anthrocon is big enough that it makes deals with about a dozen or so hotels near the convention center, but even at the convention rate, most of the hotels aren't cheap. I've heard it can be anywhere between $150-$450 a night, depending on the hotel, room, etc. so staying there for a week is going to cost Lou anywhere between $900-$3000 (and that's not even including other expenses, like the $40 of fast food he'd probably buy every meal). That's why a lot of furries go to furcons in groups, because it's too fucking expensive to do regularly without someone splitting the bill.
Someone earlier in the thread mentioned Lou complaining about a "roommate from France". I'm just guessing here, but maybe that French guy is the roommate heconned convinced to split the Anthrocon hotel bill with him. I'm assuming the majority of idiots who give Lou money are unaware of his shitty reputation and by the time they find out the truth, it's too late and their money was already spent on Lou's McDonald's addiction. And no roommate means nobody to beg fast-food money from at Anthrocon.
My hunch is that Lou convinced French Guy to let him room with him at Anthrocon, and French Guy's credit card is being used to cover the bill. And then once Anthrocon is over and the French guy gets home and asks Lou for his share of the hotel bill, Lou will probably tell the guy to fuck off and block him. So this is probably why Lou won't shut up about Anthrocon, because no Anthrocon means nobody to bum free room and board off of for a week.
