Furs and the media rarely get along...
9 years ago
I hope to one day have someone who appreciates me as much as I appreciate maple bacon donuts.
...Except at VF this year.
Many of you guys know I'm not too active in the Community nowadays - life's been carrying me along with it the last year and a half and things are really coming together! At the same time, it's been a little hectic and just keeping up has me missing out on some pretty awesome events.
VancouFur almost ended up being one of them, but I managed to sneak down there with a couple friends for about 6 hours on Sunday and breathe in all the glamour and loved it. I wasn't able to make it at ALL to the one last year, and being there for an afternoon and making friends in an instant provided a little reminder of how welcoming these events can be. Cheers to everyone I ran into and look forward to hanging with again.
The BIG thing I noticed though was the Publicity of it. Incidentally, a bunch of Syrian refugees moving to Van City were parked at the Executive in Richmond for the weekend before a Re-location. Canada's become a hot topic in this regard recently after letting in 20,000 refugees over a few months against a minority outcry of fear-mongered tards and right after a huge Canadian election. This was coincidentally the same hotel the convention was held at, and something pretty cute happened - the kids and furries got along, and the Media loved it:

- https://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/syr.....rry-convention
All of this coverage is positive news not just to the furry community, but to Vancouver itself (yeah whatever it was technically held in Richmond nobody cares), and made the city a better place because of it. That's a pretty cool upside to the swashbuckling of negative coverage we sex-offending animal-humping pedophiles tend to get.
So what about me. Well things have been pretty awesome the last while; I have a couple of positions at Vancouver General in Organ Transplant and Bone Marrow Transplant waiting for me when I'm finished school in a month and a half and they seem to enjoy my company there; the downside is many of the shifts until then are on Nights and this generally means missing out on any hangouts. Friends have been good to me and appear good themselves lately. Don't plan on getting fit again until school's done so the beer belly's here to stay, and I'm happily single by choice until my life settles down a bit.
That should only be a few years from now.
