Should have caulked the wagon...
12 years ago
...but instead I tried to ford the river. As a result, last month I completely fell off the wagon! Broke an axle too, and I think Jebediah caught cholera. Knew I shoulda rested another week at Chimney Rock. [/oregon.exe]
So lately there've been some Major Life Changes (positive ones, don't worry!) that have totally thrown me for a loop! It feels like it's been ages since I've been online, much less doodle. Fortunately this last weekend at Furnal Equinox dove me right back into the community: as a first-time con-goer, it was quite an experience! Fun, surreal, and unforgettable are words that come to mind :3
The indomitable
kraken was kind enough to be my wing man for what was his first convention as well. I don't know what I would have done without his great sense of humor and excellent company! We took it pretty easy, mainly trying to wrap our minds around everything going on around us XD We attended some panels, browsed the dealers' den, and mainly just chilled and sketched and watched con-goers of all types parade past. There were times when it was tough to keep a straight face :P
But the highlight, hands-down, was getting to catch the TF podcast. Not only was it a thoughtful discussion, but afterward one thing led to another and eight really cool people (and me!) went for dinner, then had a mini art-jam late into the night (after they'd danced their moves at the rave). Getting to meet, hang out and then doodle with so many other talented artists whom I've been a fan of for so long was amazing and unforgettable. Definitely the takeaway con experience :3 If you're reading this, thanks so much guys!
That's it in a nutshell! My schedule's still all kinds of wonky so I'm not sure if and when I'll get back to my earlier levels of productivity, but as much fun as I had at the convention, I'll definitely be around ; ) Poorly responsive for a while perhaps - but around!
Hey, were any others of you guys at FE that we might have crossed paths?

I am glad that you had a good con. =)
I'll be getting my first taste of con life in July at AC
never ford the river...that's just foolish
Were you the one at the front who also mentioned their music?
Sounds like a great time, I'm glad you had it. >:}
Hrm! I'd like to hear more about this aforementioned TF Podcast!

I don't need the youtube clip! I know that's a reference to OCTOPUSSY YAYAY :D
nothing says "climax to a roger moore film" like james bond dressed like a clown
.... wait. He's oddly short.
And fuzzy.
.... stop stealing my cookies!
More seriously, welcome back and gratz for the good news :)
Thanks! Hope you're well too, sir ^^
If I had known you were going... well I probably still wouldn't have went, hah. As convincing as your presence may be, I just don't know anyone who I could go with and not feel completely out of place. One of these years is what I tell myself. Awesome to hear you had a good time though! And your con report was not too lengthy to deter me from commenting, but long enough to have substance. :D
This also means I need update my LN-LM proximity over time graph, hehe *schemes*...
Would it help simplify the graphing process if I just give you the tracking number to my homing device?
