- First i have some bad news about attending Furlaxation next weekend, sadly i have to cancel due to several unforeseen obstacles preventing me from going this year at this time.
I was really looking forward to this one too as one of the GOH's there this year, but some family issues, financial obstacles, transportation difficulties, etc. all combined is preventing me from attending.
I will be at Midwest Furfest in December however.

- Next updated are fursuits.
I am currently working on three full suits, two partials, and two head commissions, and a suit body partial rebuild. two of the full suits are almost completed, and another is waiting for the back ordered White Teddy fur that Monterey Mills/CR Crafts have been out of for over 4 months, now and when my first ( of three) orders arrives last week it was useless creased and matted trash, delaying me further waiting for these needed furs for this 3rd full suit and other body repair.
among these current suits are the Auction-winner German Shepperd, the Anubian Jackal, a white & Grey wolf, a white and black wolf partial, a V2.0 blue,white, grey Wolf/husky, and guess what else... a "well known" realistic, orange overall-wearing raccoon that we know of in a recent Movie. :D

- I may have a little meet on Halloween weekend this year, ( it won't be all out like the SSC New Years Bash, but just a relaxing weekend or night of fursuit photos, drinks, dinner, etc. ) if there is enough interest i may plan something. The 7th Annual SSC Furry NYE Meet is on as usual, along with most of the attendees from last year already confirmed attending this year.

- In December i will be attending MFF, with Darcus, Wolfbold, and Corrandilla all from Austria visiting me a few days before the con then we all fly out to Chicago together. I will be there from Wednesday evening till Monday morning.

- once i can get some of the above suit WIPs completed, (hopefully by mid to late October) i will be opening up the next 3 more full suits from the list, along with preparing the Toony Corgi head to be auctioned off as a full suit, but the Auction will be set for the Auction winner to have their measurements sent to me so the body can be custom made to fit. :)

- Also plans are already begun for the 2nd Furry Canoe Back Country Camping trip in May to Algonquin. ( on the VictoriaDay/MemorialDay weekend) This time there will be room for up to 8 or 10 people, (This spring past on the first trip there was 6 of us with 3 Canoes) and this time around we will have some new tents, 4 to 5 canoes (depending on the number of attendees) and w2ill be for 3 nights to a private island campsite on beautiful Lake Opeongo in Algonquin Park. ( likely a different Island camp than this year.
as far as i know now all the same 6 people who went this year are confirmed and interested in going again, so we do have up to 4 spots available, but if you have your own canoe and vehicle, we can likely go as far as 12 people if all the spots fill up. (we seen a site on an island this year that had at least 12 - 14 people at one camp. ) i do have the base-camp gear available to supply a group of 12 or more, we just would need more canoes, vehicles, and tents. This trip needs to be planned early and people confirmed as soon as possible, as i have to reserve/Pre-register with the Park a month or two in advance for the Campsites. Cost of this trip is $ 130 per person, That covers everything, your transportation from my house to the lake and back, it covers all the food/meals, Gear, supplies, fuel, Permits, registration, pretty much everything for the entire 3 night/day trip. all you need extra is basic personal camping gear.
*** For those who are definitely interested in this great outdoor trip, note me here on FA in a PM as soon as possible so i can add you to the planning & registration list.
