Performance Guest - Uncle Kage

Samuel Conway is a chemist who holds a Ph.D. from Dartmouth and works in a laboratory in his native Pennsylvania. He is also the chairman of Anthrocon, the world's largest Furry convention, held annually in Pittsburgh, PA.

Known as "Uncle Kage" to his fans, he is an experienced raconteur who has performed on stage all around the country and even in such far-flung places as Germany, Australia and the Czech Republic. He has been called by some an unofficial spokesperson for the Furry fandom since he has dedicated a good deal of time and energy to dispelling the myths and misunderstandings surrounding the world of anthropomorphics.
In what spare time he can find he likes to write and has published a number of stories in small-press titles, although he did break into the Big World in 1999 when his story "Tweaked in the Head: was included in "Flights of Fantasy," an anthology of bird-related SF tales assembled by Mercedes Lackey. His favorite convention activity is meeting with friends in the bar, and if you're inclined to ask he has a preference for sweet rieslings (Germany's Mosel Valley or Washington's Columbia Valley, neither older than 3 years) although he'll always settle for a nice cheap white zinfandel out of a box with a plastic spigot on the bottom.
