Rollercoaster year
10 years ago
I knew this was coming, saw it for years, lot of big changes happening, sure haven't made things any easier on myself going to Astral Harvest, Anthrocon, Burning Man and RF. Life has sure been a hectic rollercoaster the last few months. Tomorrow I move out of the place I have called home since I was brought into this world, trying my best to be pragmatic about it, still hard to say goodbye. Things will move forward, best I can do is try and keep it on the rails *g* I'm sorry if I have been dropping a lot of balls lately, I can only catch so many at the same time. Things should settle down early in the new year.
Burning Man this year was... Dusty. It was a new experience sharing the adventure with someone, made the roadtrip less solitary and the bed a bit warmer ;) It was also unusually dusty and cold at night, but despite the bugpocalypse that the media portrayed I only saw a couple beetles while packing up camp.
So much happened out there in that frenzied, dusty, vibrantly maniacal city. I met tons of amazing people and had a great time rolling around in the dust. My inaugural public showing of my new deer suit was at burning man and it was a blast! Had a good time meeting Varka, Evalion, Hirobo and Vendra and a bunch of other furs from Dragonf*ckers. The larger Chalet trailer that I had this year preformed admirably, was nice to have a personal heated shower! The Furry kuddle cave that
asunyra set up was fantastic, wish I had spent more time there. So many stories that have to stay in Black Rock :3 Thanks to 
kenket for the fursuit lounge art. The trip as a whole went off without much of a hitch except having my bike stolen in Reno after the event.
RF this year was... a flummoxed trainwreck, despite that on the balance I still think I had a good time, not entirely sure, still processing. Lots of highlights but the timing of the whole event seemed... off, at least to me. The con started with me already exhausted, I missed a lot of things I wanted to be at, missed people I wanted to see, had a falling out with someone because I couldn't dedicate the time for them they wanted. The parade was fun and the dances were great, nothing too terrible happened so I guess that goes in the positive column.
May seem odd but one of the highlights of the con for me was after losing our room for Sunday night (my fault, should have double checked the booking dates, but I always book through to Monday) The hotel pretty much booted us out of the room, no chance of extending our stay. We had to pack up and move very quickly, a big thanks to
snicks and 
lonetiggs for helping with the move. We got our stuff into a room nearby were there was a chill room party with locals. We all figured out who could room with who and ordered a pizza. My happiest moment at the con was seeing how my friends without reservation or hesitation stepped in to help, that really meant a lot to me. Special thanks to 
alexihusky for letting QB and I crash at his room for the last night.

So where are you off to now?
Burningman was fun, thanks again for making it happen for me, you are a great travel companion. Loved camp fur, everybody it's awesome. I think I'll commit to it next year again.
I really enjoyed Burning Man with you, for your first burn you did fantastic. I will have to see about next year, but I will be getting tickets regardless.
