Heya! Been awhile haha!

SO! Anthrocon!!

First and foremost, I won't be in the Den or the Alley, long story short I don't want to sell at big events anymore until I'm ready. Though I will definitely want to draw and hang out with folks! (trades??? 8)c I may be willing to trade for cute plushies or food as well haha!) I'll probably be looking for the Zoo/Lounges or any parties where folks might be drawing together.

*I'll also have stickers and pins on me to trade with folks too. If that's anything people care to do!

I'll be with my husband, Ryoku, and friend Espent and Axi! Feel free to say hi, I am ok with hugs but I need to be asked. Apologies if I forget names or stumble, you may have to remind me who you are, or just introduce yourself! I have a bad memory for names.

I'm excited a bit more than usual as this year is special to me. My first ever furry convention was Anthrocon 2004, back when it was at the Adams Mark in Philly. It was intimidating, I was so underprepared and made every mistake you can think of. From riding with near strangers in a beat up old crown vic that overheated, and I had to buy a muffler for. (wasn't even my car) Realizing the cost of that muffler was ALL the money I had, so I arrived at a con with NO badge, NO room no NOTHING cause I had to use all my money on that. (Wasn't even paid back) so I had to bum rooms and beg for food. It was... beyond awful in all of those senses.

But. I met so SO many people! I had been in the fandom for a few years now (1997/2000-ish was my rough "discovery" phase of figuring out what furry was) and I had been trading art with folks on VCL, and reading comics and admiring art for years. Seeing those artists in person, and meeting folks I drew for online and just...getting to hang out and yell about furry stuff and art was beyond joyful. The trip was rough, but the good memories were very worth it.

That was 20 years ago.

I've not had the most exciting life since then, but I love the furry fandom so much. Seeing it explode like it has is terrifying but exciting at the same time! I hope I can attend for many more years, when cost and travel ability allows of course! (I want to get to TFF, ANE and so many more! Is there room-share pages? X3) For now tho, I do a lot of VRchat, and am still around places like bluesky, twitter (x), here and a bunch of discords.

I hope to be open for art again sometime, or be able to re-launch my patron or something similar.
Either way, I can't wait to say hi to friends, old and new.

Catch you later!
