This will be the first year since 2009 there has not been a floofy blue fotter at furfest. But there are reasons! First off, it's REALLY hard for me to get that time off work - the restaurant I am currently at does not like us taking any December or January extended vacations. Secondly, I feel the money I were to save has a much more impactful purpose [than my 11th furry con] involving some personal friends around Halloween time :3
