Happy (Chinese) New Years! Along with a few recent updates.
13 years ago
Seeing as this Tiggy/Snow Spottycat (I suppose you can add a Gazelle and a Zebra pony to the mix too) is quite asian, I wish everyone a good start to the Year of the Dragon this year.
With the recent (well, recent being back late September 2011, so 4 months now) replacement of dying phone (2.5 year old Sony Ericsson Xperia X1) with a shiny new one (Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro), and switching/jumping into the Android eco-system, I've started blogging rather actively on Google+, as a lot of Google services/accounts are nicely integrated and consolidated into one place.
So, if you have Google+, feel free to follow and add me on there: Kamadan Uncia; I used my Snow Leopard characters and themed it as such on there.

Moving on...
FurcoNZ was done and dusted for the 3rd time (as lead organizer/con-chair). As usual, lots of stress and logistical nightmares, but largely went without any major issues. The numbers went down for 2011 compared to 2010, however in the end we still have roughly 50-55 throughout the weekend, and in fact for those that have attended since 2007, commented that FurcoNZ 2011 was by far, the most relaxed, friendly, hassle/drama-free FurcoNZ we've had. This was echoed by the staff and volunteer team, and my security lead and website admin (the de-facto 2nd in command) reinforced that "we want quality, not quantity", and without going into specifics the absence of a fair few this year certainly helped a lot (and apparently no one missed them, at least that's what my staff and a fair few attendees have told me).
I also managed to lead and ran 2 panels this year (something we introduced this year, as we move forward with how FurcoNZ is going to be run)... and considering that public speaking is definately NOT my strong point, I was quite pleased at how it turned out. Meal service this year was also something I am really pleased about, for the sponsors we managed to serve a full 3 course dinner for all 3 nights.
For this year, I let Leela the Snow Spottycat and the Gazelle out and about, which I have already uploaded photos of:

Christmas and New Years were quite subdued for me, although again, I did bring the Snow Spottycat out to a party or two:

Plans for this year... well, I need to work-out heck of a lot more to get my... figure back. Aim is to lose around 10kg-15kg over the next few months to get back on track. Need to get back on my bike and need to get into proper swimming (so I can wear my tight shiny Triathlon gear/wetsuits and be all sexy working out in gear), with the aim being that I can properly model for some full body-painting sessions.
We might also see a new Zebra pony character to debut sometime this year (if everything goes to plan)!

Happy chinese new year. C:
FC 2012 was great, thanks again for being part of the team who made it happen.
But we are glad that you enjoyed the con, and in fact we're happy that you (the attendees) are happy with what we've been doing. Hope we will see you again for the next one.
Till next time take care Tiggy! *hugs*
