Wintery mid-year update for 2013, and upcoming travels/cons
12 years ago
The temperature really dropped in the past week down here in New Zealand, with the winter solstice (shortest day of the year) tomorrow (Friday 21st June), Winter is well and truly with a certain silver snow kitty.
Work had consumed most of my energy so far this year, and this release is finally ready to be signed off tomorrow after what seems like an eternity in QA cycle. It's pretty much a routine of: wake up and head to work by 7am, heading home at 4pm, cooking/eating dinner, general house chores and tidy up, and then to bed. Weekends became something to really look forward to, and seized the chance to travel around whenever I could.
Where I've been so far this year
Furry Down Under (FurDU) in April was such a blast, as it had been 2.5 years since my last "proper furry convention" (FurcoNZ doesn't count for various reasons). It was a joy to catch up with a few old friends, and make some cool new ones. I loved the way it was run, the venue/hotel definitely rates above average from all the cons/events I've been to... for the registration fee, definitely gives you good value for money, If it's being held roughly in the same time-frame next year (Easter/ANZAC weekend), there's a very high chance you'll see me there again.
I unleashed Leela the Snow Spottycat and Bazelle the little horny Gazelle for FurDU, unfortunately I didn't get anyone in particular to be my handler/photographer and it's a shame I didn't get as many photos as I could. Photos from paw could be seen here:

Leela was also seen in a skimpy black one-piece swimsuit, way-short shorts and a tight Kiwi-themed T-shirt, and full-on purple latex bodysuit with corset and black mini-skirt... hopefully someone will have gotten photos for those.
In the beginning of June, I headed down to Wellington to visit some friends, and another excuse to dress up and headed over to Armageddon expo (our local local Sci-Fi/Anime/Comic Con/Expo).
On Sunday I put on way-tight spandex and Black Spidey-ed around:

While on Monday, I thought a full-on skin tight "Femme-Fatale" latex outfit would turn some heads... and did I managed to make a ton of boys (and some girls) drool, even got a few wanting to feel me up! ^_^

Upcoming plans
RivFur! (August in Brisbane, Australia). Pretty much decided after FurDU that I'd want to give another "smaller close-by" convention a try. It's their first year as a proper full-on furry con, so it'll be interesting to see how things are run.
Already gotten my plane tickets (courtesy of an AirNZ sale with very good fares, partially the reason why I'm going) and con registration paid for and sorted out, and right now trying to nail down accommodation... speaking of which...
IF you are an Aussie fur reading this and also going to RivFur, wouldn't mind sharing a room with a Kiwi (me) for the weekend (Friday - Monday) in the main hotel (Mercure), please send me a message or e-mail!
Right now I have 2 potential leads, but wanting to see if I can get other options before making a final decision.
And finally, I am looking to a potential holiday to North Americaat the start of next year (2014). It's just been over 4 years since I last visited (flew out near the end of February 2009). By the start of next year, it'll be 5 years. Now that my job has fully settled in and reaching the 1 year mark, and with my financial situation looking much better compared with a year ago, I think it's time for a re-visit, for old-friends, and new ones I've talked to since.
In fact, I got leave approved from work alreadyfrom Mid-January till 2nd weekend of February, 2014.
What prompted the above, was a notification from FC (Further Confusion) about room-block booking opening (well that was a month or so ago now). A few have told me FC wasn't like what it used to be since the days of the SJ DoubleTree (in fact FC 2009 was my last and also the last year there), however, it's always been the people and company that make (or break) a con/event for me.
In the past I have always stayed behind for a week or 2 to visit the locals, in this case, those that lives in California/close by, or "in the path" of where I will be heading, with the pre-requisite being that you don't mind a houseguest for a day or 2, or longer even. I would love to do a 2nd event too if it's within the 2-3 week window of my visit. Elliott's Winter Carnival seems to be grabbing my attention, as it was held on the following weekend after FC this year (2013). That and I haven't been to Florida before.
Travelling between New Zealand and North America isn't cheap at all, and if I am to fly 13 hours there and back, I need to make sure I damn well enjoy every second of it and overly indulge myself. Also explains why I need to start planning now in advance (and managing to secure leave/time-off from work this early on to kick things off). So if you a keen to have/able to host a visitor from down-under, drop me a message or e-mail as well!
Edit: Well, plans have changed... slightly. I am still going to plan for a North America visit along with attending a major convention, just not FC and in the aforementioned time-frame. I'll post an update once more things are confirmed... but exicting times ahead!
That's all the updates for now! I should go snuggle up with one of my cats for warmth... or put on one of my fursuits! :D
