This con for me was an odd one...let me elaborate.
A ton of weird energy was bouncing about, most of it good but I definatly did notice a change in the entire vibe of Wild Nights past.
1. There were more new furs than in years past, some I knew of but most kept to themselves, I found myself observing groups gathered together from a distance, doing a lot of listening, staying in the background for once~its a Coyote thing.

2.A first for me was the untimely death of our good friends beloved dog Ozzy at the con. is going to take some time away to recover from this loss, your thoughts and prayers would be the best remedy right now. He had a great final day up on the mountian with his loving master~i was retrieved by a mutual friend to hear the devistating news. As the hand of Irony would have it, i had spoken to Dobie about performing a rainbow bridge service if anything ever happened to Ozzy...12 hours later it came to pass-I'm still getting my head around that event.

3.On a positive note, and myself collectivly shot-directed-edited and presented a video all from the con!!! Who says it can't be done? We had all the elements of a great video...Zombie attacks, terror, screaming lots of Blair witch type camera angles and even a rape shack!!!!!

4. I was sober for almost 8 hours while not sleeping-a personal best. This was made difficult by my new and possibly best friends from a con ever.... and who greeted my on three occations with Coronas in paw, extending them to me. Talk about making good on a promise, you guys are an awesome sundea covered in hot win sauce!!!!! But they did expose a con virgin to me at there epic travel trailor...I hope i did not scar her mind.

5. "Fosgate Ferret-Loan officer" the work of the ever so talented the clever Bear even passed out buisness cards to con goers to promote the show. Even though it was a reading-no stage set-no costumes it did'nt matter because a good musical stands alone~and wow, did it ever. Wonderfull job my friend-I would travel to see the fully polished version anytime!!!!

6. 2 words ~ROCK CLIMBING~ Damn...talk about pushing ourselves this time, we definatly did...I'm covered in small bruises, scrapes and i even discovered one in my scalp! So yeah-those who chose to follow my tiger and I up onto Robbers Cave overlook found themselves going into some small, hard, wet, and unknown passages for sure. Merk and i tend to challenge each other and this trip was a new personal best for all involved. A special "you go girl" to the little pack Kitsune who drove 3 hours to visit for a single day and overcame her fear of tight spaces and hights to keep up with us. We are all very proud of you momma-san!!!!!

7. The guided meditation opened up some doors-closed a few windows-and led a few to a new awarness of the world just beyond there finger tips~and just behind there eyes. As in all things concerning the arts arcana~silence of the things done and said must remain veiled.

8. The fursuit I donated to the MESA aucition has a proud new owner!!!! The winning bidder was who gave it to his mate I'm so happy that he stayed here in the state. More than words could not discribe my emotions when I heard the bid of $1,000.00 the room got really quiet after that...I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you my old friend-you are generous beyond mesure-the con and all who attend next year will benefit greatly from it.

9. In closing, this con was more about what I did not do...I did'nt get a badge, i chose a dogtag instead-I attended no dances-no time @ the fire-no grand acts of drunken stupidity-I only suited once or twice. A lot of traditions were upheld and good times had by all...no storms, no drama, all returned home safe. 2012 was a win.

10. A new pack member was added also, hes been around us for a couple of seasons and events. his energy melds with the packs so well another member requested him for membership. So welcome to Hell~
