Well first, I've been back to my East Coast home for about a week now. Slowly getting readjusted to being back here. Was a nice to be back with my parents and various family for the two weeks I was there (definitely some downer parts that I'm not ready to get into). Was also able to attend a Celtic Festival while home and got to see a favorite band of mine play (as well as found some additional groups to listen to). The only other big thing is that my parents now know I'm a furry, so no more hiding where and whom I'm hanging out with (or why I go to some weird locations to hang out with friends). But overall, it was a great trip back to Montana.

As for the free art,  vingant is doing some free puppy pieces. You can sign up over here (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4990114/#cid:35625806) where you will also get the details on how to snag your own slot.

Also, for Fur Fright, I still have some space left in my hotel room and looking for potential room mates for the con. I'll be there Thursday night through Sunday (I'll be arriving later afternoon/evening Thursday after work and leaving Monday). So let me know if you or anyone you know is still looking for hotel space for the convention.
