2011 Into 2012
14 years ago
General
Today marks the end of all my FurtherConfusion convention prep and I can relax a bit. I had to get everything ready a bit ahead of schedule, as I’ll be spending the next couple weeks on the road. I’m headed south and west for another New Year’s Eve among the merry multitude, in the splendor and pageantry of Las Vegas. In the company of friends, family and showgirls, I look forward to what 2012 has to offer!
2011 was quite a year. It was full of “ups” and, well, not really “downs,” just a couple “near-catastrophes” that kept me on my toes.
One of the best things about this year was the release of Nordguard: Across Thin Ice.
It’s been very well received, inside and outside the fandom, and I’m over the moon about it. Once again, a big thank you goes out to everyone who’s bought a copy online (from Sofawolf Press or other places), or asked your local stores to stock it, or even just lent your copy to a friend to get the word out. Hearing about people able to walk into comic stores across the nation and find a copy already on the shelves--even in Canada and Europe--is really an incredible feeling. 2012 will be another “comic-making” year, with most of my time devoted to the second Nordguard book. I’m really looking forward to returning to it when I get home, since a lot of neat stuff happens in the second book. >:]
Anyhow, after a glitzy and certified Fabulous™ New Years, I plan on leaving the city lights behind for a little winter camping. When cabin fever (can you get that in a tent?) starts to set in, I’ll be darkening some friends’ doorsteps for a few days, on a mission to drink all of the beer and all of coffee with them.
And of course come mid-January, I’ll be in San Jose for FurtherConfusion!
(I’ll post more on that, what art I’ll have with me, prints, etc, closer to the actual date!)
In short, I hope 2012 starts out great for everybody, and then continues to treat you well!
Stay safe, and see you on the other side! :]
Cheers,

it really helps put the furry community to the positive side in the public view^^
best wishes for next year!=03
Only if I wore hats!
And good, real camping!
I once had a friend offer me to come with him and his friends on a camping trip and I was about to say yes, but then I learned he was bring a big RV, so I said no :o
That isn't camping ~.~
And “near-catastrophes”, you mean "Cat Reflex Testing"
I am guessing the team is going to be come a new X-Men team in the newest alternative universe in Marvel Comics. That would be some neat stuff right there! They all have the powers of the X-Men, except they are all huskies!

And the local furs are really weird and vocal, which has putt of some of the local geek stores to having fur stuff. I do think they have Ironclaw though, or had at some point. I'll just get something in person so I can get it signed ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Have a Happy New Year Blotch! I'll toast to it! hehe
