BLFC was also a blast!

General
BLFC this year was great, and huge. I guess it's like, the third largest con now? Not bad. Considering it's location inside a giant building that is psychologically designed to keep you inside and disconnected from the real world, it's a good choice of venue. And, unlike last year, I didn't get punched in the back by some drunk casino-goer, which is always good. What was even better was the fact that Nevada accepted my AZ medical card, and I was able to stay pretty high and functional, considering that I get pretty debilitating hip and back problems at cons after the second day or so.
But the best part, of course, was seeing and hanging out with lots of old friends, and a few awesome new ones. It was great seeing people i hadn't seen in years after dropping out of being active in the fandom irl for a bit. We also got to help out TonyaSong get ready for her show with PepperCoyote, made some silly videos of me in my fursuit "singing" some of the songs I like (that you will never hear played at furry cons), ate a bunch of gut-churning casino food, took fursuit pics around 9000 feet in the Sierras in the snow in June, smoked a J on the beach at a members-only yuppie-warren on the shores of Lake Tahoe, watched a bunch of normos on acid walk into the casino and start screaming at me and everyone else when their fear and loathing vacation got real, the mystery of what the hell a Dutch Angel Dragon was (and why it was Dutch, since there were no windmills, wooden shoes, or pot), and the even more bizarre and indecipherable answer when we finally asked one, plus a bunch of other fun things. Oh yeah, and babyfurs clad only in diapers and the inability to handle their hallucinogens screaming down my goddamn hallway at 5 am... not so fun. But yes, overall, a full and fun con. Crazy, but not in an FWA 2007 or final Rainfurrest way, if you catch my drift. ;3
I'll post some pics here, and here are those videos. They are furry, silly, kinda stupid and were a lot of fun. The next videos will hopefully be in landscape orientation too, so they'll be easier to watch (if anyone actually does! :D)
Phone's battery died at the best part of the song....
And now that that's all said and done, it's summer here in the Phoenix area, which is the perfect time to stay inside and work on art and music, which I have been really, really behind on, what with taking care of real life shit like an IRS audit immediately before and after the con. Thanks real world! Protip: Fuck doing your own taxes. You'll pay for it later one way or another.
Anyway, since I don't have to go to boring-ass work until tomorrow, I'm going out with some music that absolutely nobody asked for! :D
Someone finally uploaded full albums of this.... Ah, there is hope for the world yet! :D
