Wild Nights, Morphicon, FangCon et.al.
Well, the Wild Nights and Morphicon printing was done on time, though it pushed me so hard that I think it made me ill. By the time I made it to Wild Nights late last Thursday, I was quite sick. I helped Gabriel Steel and Wolfaya (with a cub in the oven) at registration. By Friday evening I was toast and I slept through most of Saturday day, barely making the fursuit parade at 4PM. In fairness to myself, there were others there that came down with some kind of bug, but it couldn't have been me as the carrier as a day or two simply isn't long enough of an incubation period for a cold or anything like it. I think I had bronchitis on top of everything else. Consequently I didn't really enjoy the con because of illness. This seems to be a running gag with me as last year I had shingles and DID miss the fursuit parade. The con itself was fun from what I did catch of it though. Sonic Blu, and Wild Wolf were really nice to meet. Luthian Nightwolf did really nice art work for the con and with the super sponsor con badges. The banner I donated with the art for next year "Wild kNights of the Round Table" by Firefeathers looked awesome and inspirational and it will be carried to various cons for promotion. Draconis, as always, did a great job with the Variety show. He used the parody song version of the Muppets Show opening song that I did. With only one minor line change, it sounded pretty cool. I wish I had known ahead of time. It really surprised me. At the Mesa meeting after closing ceremonies, I turned down a nomination for president. With everything I do in the fandom, I didn't think it would be fair to Wild Nights to try to take that load on, too. I am running for VP against Blackdog, an honorable and steadfast furry friend. I wish him luck and would not mind at all if he won as he would do a good job.
Buck Riley, aka Husky in Denial, along with Phat Cat were passengers of mine to and from the con. Thanks to Phat Cat for driving part of the way there as I had worked more than 36 straight hours getting stuff done. Gee, I wish cons would get their stuff to me ahead of time. Buck and I will be getting together soon for some parody song work hopefully. Sonic Blu expressed interest in performing some of my parody work also.
After returning home and spending a couple of days in R&R, I got with the webmaster and now the FangCon website is really up. FangCon will be pushed hard from here on in, and things will start poppin'.
Well, I have pictures to restore tonight for a person who used to work putting acts together for Stacks Records and others. I have some pretty cool and historical pics to work on. I cannot post them as they don't belong to this ol' Sabertooth. I have Elvis pics, Bar-Kays, Isaac Hayes, etc. The oddest picture is one of one of the Tiller brothers (an old time Memphis badass), and James Earl Ray in prison in Memphis. I didn't ask him how he came by THAT photo. Back to work for the Sabertooth. Later y'all.
