So, since I now finally have power and internet and am finally home, lemme type this up as I await some suspected trick or treaters.

If you wanna skip my journal, go to the bottom and watch me in the news at least. The stream takes a little bit to load up, be patient. Thanks. :3

So, Day #1 at FurFright...

Not gonna lie, I didn't get much sleep the night before and was pretty exhausted before I even started leaving for FurFright. Once I was finally on my way, I decided to pick up Mister Clancy from his house after already running roughly a half hour to forty-five minutes behind schedule. I call him from outside his house and there was no answer, so I left a voice message. Waited 5-10 minutes before finally going to the door, knocking on it and ringing the door bell. I sat outside for another 10-15 minutes before he comes to the door. He over slept, so I was pretty upset that now we were both behind. So maybe 20-30 minutes after he answered the door, we were finally on the road.

Apparently I had to go get Mister Clancy's boyfriend, so we drove there and waited like 30-45 minutes for him to get there and then wasted 20-30 minutes only to find out he wasn't going to come with us. Now, at this point I am pissed off, but wasn't showing it.

I managed to finally get to  Ludovicus's house and probably sat there for 20 minutes before he arrived. It was pretty entertaining to see him walk down the street and was all like, "Sup guys?" I loved how he was ALREADY PACKED AND READY TO GO, unlike some other people mentioned above. Ludo, was rather entertaining during the car ride, laying down some tracks for us as he mixed his own dubstep on his laptop.

Soon we found ourselves at  mitskuni's house and we were pretty hyped and ready to go. I was shocked we were able to fit so much shit in the trunk along with my fursuit. I thought for sure someone was gonna have to hold a bag or something. It was now a real party, driving with everyone in the car.

We finally made it FurFright by 3:00 - 3:30 PM. It was a rather uneventful day as far as I saw. Everyone broke off and went their own things, while I kinda wandered around and explored. I sat down a few times to take a break, seeming to not find anything to do. I met some real cool people I met online and I met some new people. Whored out the creator of my suit and other generic shit.

Eventually we all settled into our hotels and had a little fun until the next morning, where we regretted not getting enough sleep.


Day #2, FireFright/FireCon 2012,

We awoke around 10:00 - 10:30 AM after not falling asleep until like 5-6 AM. This is probably one of the more entertaining days in my opinion, mainly for several reasons. We had A LOT more people, specially in suit. I wanted to get pictures with so many people, but was either busy following friends or busy being lazy. I met up with  LodiDah and her friend to get ready for the fursuit parade.

Once the fursuit parade finally began to start, it was incredibly hot and tiring as we stood around, waiting to exit the ball room.  JD_Puppy trying to guide everyone was pretty entertaining. Another small highlight was when someone stood on stage and pointed out  zenfur and made fun of him and his cat from the furry interview.

We finally made it outside, at this point I was dying of heat and was pretty sure I was about to collapse do to a heatstroke or something. I was hoping they'd just hurry up and take the picture, but of course, they needed to take multiple shots. From the lack of sleep and being sick, I didn't wanna stay much longer.

From here, I finally found my way back inside, where I was greeted by a friendly stranger at the bar who offered to buy me a drink and food. I took up the offer and plopped myself down to eat. Once I was finished, I hung out for a bit, accidentally knocked a glass of water off the counter with my wings. Embarrassed, I walked off to find one of my friends.

With my friend Lucas with me, we made haste to New York for a Halloween Party I was suppose to be at. I hate to say it though, it was fun, but not that entertaining. There was a costume contest where I won "Most Creative Costume" cause I was wearing my fursuit. I got some free tee-shirt and 25 bucks cash.

We decided to head back to FurFright and returned around 1:30 AM. At this point, we broke off again and did our own thing. I sat around and did nothing until some issues came up that needed to be resolved. After leaving the con to do said issues. Me and a group of people return, only to find out that the fire alarm had been pulled and everyone was moved outside. I was forced to park and leave my vehicle and stand with the other furries. I had no jacket or anything and it was freezing as fuck, on a side note....I also had to shit real bad.

After being forced to get out of my car, I found some friends and seeked them for warmth and comfort as we waited until roughly 5:00 to 5:30 AM when we were told we can finally leave. I was to tired to be pissed off at the situation, I went to my hotel and just passed out as soon as I got there. From then on, it was called FireFright or FireCon 2012 as a joke.

Day #3, HurriCon 2012,

Day three was very hectic. Especially with Hurricane Sandy approaching fast. This was also a lazy day for all of us as we all didn't arrive to the con until around 2PM. But everything was being packed up and put away already. With us noticing this, we hung out for a few hours until I brought Lucas home. I was originally going to head back to the hotel and hang out with Ludo until we slept, but we ended up heading back to the con.

Not gonna lie, heading back to the con was probably the best idea, cause the little dance thing at the end made it really fun. It was nice to end on a good note. Can't say much more happened other than the panicking about how people were gonna get home and shit.

We returned to our hotel and prepare for HurriCon 2012 as Sandy started rolling in.

Day #4, HurriCon 2012,

So we (me and Ludo) woke up with food being our number one priority. Ludo and I hit up the Cromwell Diner for a nice breakfast before I attempted to make my way back home to New York. We chit-chatted with some random furs who happen to be there as well as I set haste to bring Ludo home.

Getting Ludo home was a interesting task we I did manage to get lost a couple times cause my GPS was acting derpy and I wasn't paying much attention to it. We finally arrived to Ludo's town and he brought me to some cafe, where we sat in front of the TV and made fun of the hurricane and commercials. It was rather hilarious, at this point....the hurricane was finally whipping up.

This is when I decided it was time to finally leave, but I remembered that I promised  MuffinMistress I'd visit here before returning to New York. So, I drove roughly an hour through the hurricane on 84 which is suppose to be closed. Just to get to her and say bye before returning home myself. Her father said it was getting nasty and that he wasn't gonna let me leave the house until the next day.

So, I stayed up and hung out with Anny for most the night before finally hitting the hay around 5 AM.

Day #5, HurriCon 2012 After Party,

I woke up lazily around 12 PM to use the bathroom, I looked outside noticing that the storm had passed and we were only getting a few gusts of wind.

I hung out for a few hours before deciding it was time to leave, not before I took Anny out for some food with me and taking her to MIchael's for some posterboard for a college project.

It was really sad to drop her off and head back to New York, but eh...Whatever I guess.
The whole ride I was voxing all my friends, it made the long trip seem much shorter.

I return home to a cold house being ran by a generator for only the bottom floor. I was so exhausted, that I didn't care how cold my room was, I just slept.


Now about that part of me being in the news. I was interviewed by FoxCT and appeared on the news at 10:00 PM on Saturday. Zen and I were the talk of the con when random people came up and were like, "Your that guy from TV". A lot more also happened at the con, but I didn't wanna overrun you with EVERYTHING, but I covered the basics pretty much. Now, below is a livestream link to the news cast. Have fun!
