Well, Midwest Furfest is coming up in a couple of weekends. This is a weird time for me because even though it's now my "hometown" convention (as I now live an hour and some change from where it's held), my current situation doesn't look too good at me attending this year. I kind of suspected that my move to Milwaukee might affect me this way, but I wasn't prepared for things to be like this.

As of right now, I'm still unemployed...meaning no money coming in for the fox. I'm not THAT bad off, though. I've had a couple of preliminary interviews for jobs, and as far as I know, I'm still in the running for both positions. But no one gets paid to wait for a potential employer to call back with the news - good or bad. So at this point, I'm still in limbo jobwise. That means that as of right now, I won't be able to make even a day trip to Chicago for MFF.

I know some friends who thought that they weren't going to be attending MFF, but will now be there. To them, I wish them the best of times. I'll keep my paws crossed that my circumstances will change and I'll be able to join you for at least one day of the convention...but until then, I'm stuck at home waiting.

Take care,
Colin
