Fittingly, just 3 days before I leave for my first Anthrocon, I reached a milestone today as I reached 1,000 subscribers on my Youtube channel.

As some of you know, I got introduced into the furry fandom by viewing others' Youtube videos, and it feels great to be able to give back to the community in this way, bringing new furry fans in as well as preserving the memories of our current local conventions, fursuit shenanigans and fur meets by highlighting them in video form.

A HUGE thank you is in order for everyone that has watched and/or enjoyed my videos, whether it be fursuiting, furmeets, The Lion King (on Broadway) or even footage of lions at the zoo.  I'm genuinely touched by the number of positive comments and feedback I get from the public fursuiting and furmeet videos, through which I only seek to show how fun, exciting, different and just plain AWESOME the furry fandom is.

Many times people have messaged me, saying they had a bad day and came home to watch one of my public fursuiting videos I had just posted and it immediately put a smile on their face. In some cases, like harleybadger1  the difference can be life-changing, as what started as a random Youtube search for people goofing around in animal costumes can end up in hundreds of new friends as well as a break from the mundane, at-times-cruel world, and in reality, a new lease on life.

Others have said that my videos bring them happiness and excitement because they are thinking about getting, or soon to obtain a fursuit and partake in the joys of performing as an anthropomorphic animal character in front of others.

Whatever the reason, Thanks again everyone for the kind words and support, as I know the thousands of hours I've put into video editing over the years has been worth every minute.

And it is only fitting that the next videos on my page will be from the biggest furry party of them all, Anthrocon!

If you're going, see you there hopefully, and have a safe trip!
