I haven't posted in a while because I've been a bit busy with stuff, but since I use this journal as a record of my own life I want to note some of it.

For New Year's I went to nbowa's. Hung out, played poker once (wasn't the first one out, was actually ahead at the break, but as the stakes went up I quickly ran out of chips), played some other games ( Read more... )

So I am safely home from MFF. It was a fun weekend, but a lot less fun than it could have been for me. The convention has just gotten too big. It started sometime last Spring when I learned that the Hyatt was already sold out, before I'd learned that the room block was open. So it was the first year that I've been in someone else's room, and ( Read more... )

Just a quick note that I've made it safely home from FCN, as far as my mom's place at least. The con was fun. I'm tired. I might manage to say something more substantial but not right now.

It's been the main topic of discussion in furry fandom lately, but the rest of my readers (all 3 of you) may not have heard about it.  In downtown Pittsburgh, there's an independent business called Fernando's Cafe, that got hit hard by the recession and was about to close.  It's right next to the Anthrocon venue, and they made a point of welcoming ( Read more... )

So a little while ago the Hugo ballot came out, and I was more than a bit surprised to see a furry comic nominated for Best Graphic Story.  I hadn't actually read Digger, though I'd seen Ursula Vernon at DucKon last year.  I decided to check it out.  The first few strips were a little uneven -- she didn't really start with a plan for a long, ( Read more... )

Made it back from Furry Connection North in one piece.  The trip to the con was trouble free.  The con was great fun and if there were any disasters they didn't happen to me.  Really impressive tech system at the dances -- amazing laser light show, and speakers that sounded good pumping out rave-level sound.  Watched the dance competition, and ( Read more... )

To celebrate my birthday, I went to Iowa.  A couple of days with tzup and nbowa.  Hope you guys get over the cold.  Hope I don't come down with it too.  Then Wednesday, a house concert with Cheshire Moon opening for s00j, fantastic music, the cheap motel worked out OK.  Coming home today, I started feeling really hungry just as I passed the self-styled World's ( Read more... )

Seanan says so, and that's plenty good enough for me!

So I say to those who read this: Happy Valentine's Day to each and every
one of you, and if you don't celebrate Valentine's Day, happy Horny
Werewolf Day.

I spent the long weekend at Midwest Furfest.  Had a great time.  I'm beyond exhausted, and trying to really say much about my trip is more than I can manage right now.  Pants are slightly bankrupt (I did look over the f-list but I didn't look as hard as usual ( Read more... )

Left EFRC early today so that I could join a few of the local furs to see Lion King.  I'd never seen it before.  It is a good movie.  I generally like Disney animation style, and the animals were particularly appealing.  The story is a bit twee, of course, but still touching, and there were definitely some things for adults to laugh about beyond ( Read more... )
