So, lots has happened in the past year, but seemingly more in the past month. I finally have a Chux fursuit, and it is glorious. I love my new skin, it let's me be me. It was skillfully crafted by That's Furred Up. The tail is insanely large and fluffy. I got a lot of compliments on it, but more importantly, I had a lot of fun wearing it, spending an incredible amount of time in it. I didn't log the hours, but it was a lot. I didn't expect to do much at the dance, but I just couldn't help but shake my squirrel butt!

I met a lot of great animal people and hope to spend time with them in the future. You have no idea how good it feels to spend time with you folks, except you do, and that's why we get together! I heard it said before that we are fans of each other, and that is so true.

I presented a tour of the universe at GFM. It went over very well, and I was encouraged to do this again at all the cons. I don't know about all of them, but for now I have been put on the schedule for AC, which is exciting news by itself. I like being able to contribute to the fandom with the tools and experience.

I'm going to be at AC, IFC, MFF, may find others as well, time permitting. Last year I went to 10 professional conferences, so it is time to inject some fun in the mix!
