Camp Feral, RainFurrest, Werewolves and...
14 years ago
I am back home once again, though only for a couple of days. The coyote half me has recently returned from the wilds of Canada and Camp Feral! Feral is best described as a summer camp, rather than your traditional "hotel con." In fact, it takes place just about as far away from a hotel-con as you can get, in the middle of the Algonquin park in Ontario. This, along with it's staff and fellow campers, makes Feral unique. My days there revolved around archery, canoeing, swimming, watermelon basket ball, camp-wide games, B-movies, listening to loons and wild wolves, hiking, moose hunting, dodge ball, improv, art workshops, delicious food, amazing home-brew beer, excellent company and new friends. (The other GoH Rikoshi, a writer, put together a photo-blog post which helps explain why Canada is Magic.) In short: Camp Feral really damn fun. I can't wait to go back in the up coming years. :]
I'm not sitting still for long. In a week or so I'll be off in a north-westerly direction for RainFurrest! I'll be in the dealer's room, camping a corner of the Sofawolf Press table. After that, a few more little things (which mainly revolve around beer,) and then I'll be in New York for a couple days hanging with friends and scoping out the NYC Comic Con. I'm excited!
In the times between, I've a few things keeping me busy--regular ol' art, and of course, book two of that comic. ;]
A couple quick things: If you want a copy of Nordguard: Across Thin Ice for your very own, you can of course get it right now online from Sofawolf Press!
However, you can still ask your local comic-book store to order it through Diamond. Diamond has re-listed it for September (awesome!), but don't be afraid to mention it was a Staff Pick in Diamond's August previews! (And if you're in Colorado [or Albuquerque,] I've left a few signed copies with various comic book stores--here's the current list. So if you're really impatient and want a book, check 'em out! I'll try to hit s'more places between CO and WA state later this month and update the list accordingly!)
Either tomorrow or the next day, I'll put the Nordguard patches and indoor/outdoor vinyl stickers up for sale! I'll keep them up for about a week (or until supplies last,) and after that, you'll be able to get 'em at RainFurrest, and MidwestFurfest later this year.
Lastly, the 2012 Werewolf Calenders are now on sale! Order a copy today! There's a bunch of awesome artists involved, and it's crazy to think the calendar project is now in it's fifth straight year. Check out the art for the 2012 calendar on the site, plus art from previous years! I'm happy to be a part of it! :]
That's all! Time to go out and try and hold onto summer while it lasts!

I know where I am going first. :]
(Currently have both comics as those were a must. The original sketches you will be selling are a must buy.)
Glad you had a fun time at Feral. It sounds very...interesting!
I think you and Brer would enjoy Feral!
I do agree though, Canada is amazing (so much better than shitty England -__-)
Had pretty good weather this year too, though if you do go again, always be prepared incase of rain. ^.^
And ive been to allot of Troop challenges.
Just by being a provo my team always gets ahead in the game.
Will you be doing badges? If yes, can I reserve a spot now? <3
I'm heading there next year.

In fact I'm saving up just to go to AC2013.
And I never thought I'd want to buy a comic anymore... But wow... Across Thin Ice looks fantastic! Seriously considering buying one! :D
Sincerely,
