October Recap! Germany, Anniversary, FurFright, Dancing!
Allrighty then! Lots has happened over the past couple weeks, so I'm gonna take a stab at writing a quick recap over some major events!
My trip to Germany was just like what many would expect a business trip to be - most of it just at the office or at the hotel. So I didn't get much time to enjoy Frankfurt, sadly. But at least I got to fly business class, which was pretty neat! And big thanks to BBF and Leowi for coming down all the way from Cologne and showing me a good time at the XXXXXL Eingang Waldgeist, where the servings here put American sized portions to shame! I got the schnitzel, but when I saw the burger get served to an adjacent table, I just *had* to take a picture. The three of us looked at it and equated the monster to 20 Big Macs.
An unfortunate part about the trip is that it ran over my 5-year anniversary with my partner Jimmy Wolf. But as soon as I'd gotten home from my long flight back, Jimmy had surprised me by hopping in costume holding a framed picture which he had commissioned by our good friend and talented artist Spunky. Funny thing is that I'd asked Spunky to draw up an anniversary gift for me to give to Jimmy as well! I'm sure she had quite the chuckle out of it - Jimmy Wolf tells more about it in his post. Here are the pictures we got each other!
The one that I got Jimmy:
The one that Jimmy got me - lol thanks love - I know I eat everything in sight ;)
However, what Jimmy didn't know was that the gift from Spunky was really a plan-b type of gift. My original gift idea was one I'd had for a while, since our first anniversary, actually. I'd had this little 5x7 sketchbook with about 25-ish pages in it, and I'd filled it in with sketches of memories throughout the years. My original intent was to have fully colored pictures on each of the pages, along with notes to tell a story with each picture. Though it was unfinished in my eyes, many encouraged me to give the gift anyway - and as everyone had told me would happen, Jimmy loved the gift when I gave it to him during our celebratory dinner. I hope to complete it, though - especially when things aren't in super-crunch mode with work and dance and such. Love you very much hun!
Tzup, Nbowa, and Harley visited just after this and just before FurFright - was a ton of fun being a host for you guys! I'm glad that you all had a lot of fun, and next time I hope to be able to be more present as a host to really show you all a good time! ^^
Furfright was a blast as always! Belic, K'gra and crew put on a great show once again, and I had a great time hanging out with everybody, both old and new friends! Sad to hear that the Red Bandits' winning streak is over - seems we had a case of the Yankees. An all-star team can't win every year ;) And though it's been sighted in other areas of the country for a couple years now, it seems that this was the first time that the doppleganger JD really hit the audiences well at FurFright! All in all, it was a very fun con, and I was glad to enjoy the vacation with plenty of great friends!
Tux (who sadly didn't get any floor time at FurFright) managed to get some mileage in the ballroom scene once again at a couple halloween dance parties here and there. Those that knew me were super excited to see the costume, and I got plenty of "OMG can I take a picture with you???" requests. Love it!
This girl was adorable!
Hopefully that catches things up pretty well! Until next time!
