In addition to delivering food for UberEats, I began working for DoorDash in July. DoorDash has a much wider variety of restaurant clients, and I can deliver in the Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins areas. During one delivery to an apartment complex, I saw one apartment had the movie Bolt playing on a big screen TV. I remembered watching the movie for the first time years ago. Susie Essman was the voice of Mittens the cat. Since Susie Essman is also known for playing Susie Greene on Curb Your Enthusiasm, I kept imagining Mittens calling Bolt a fat fuck.

I ordered the Isle of Dogs DVD/BluRay pack. I don't have a BluRay player yet, but I'll try to save up for one by sometime next year.

On the night of August 5, I had just gotten home from making deliveries when my dad called to say my mom had passed away. She had been diagnosed with ALS 14-15 years ago and was bedridden since 2006 due to respiratory failure. Her funeral on the 18th went well and the weather was great. While I am sad that my mom is gone, I'm also thankful she isn't suffering any more.

This month's FoxTrot meet took place at the new Hamburger Mary's, just down the street from the old Mary's/M-Uptown. The back patio was crowded, though it spread out more inside after 10:00 when the drag queen event had ended. The special pins made for the event had sold out before I could get one. The only thing about Mary's which sucked was it only had street parking. I just barely squeezed into a space near the bar after circling the block a few times.

ON TO DENFUR! I stayed in a room with Sawblade5/Victor Redtail. We both went to Broncos Field at Mile High on Thursday. Victor had me take pictures of him in his hawk fursuit holding a Chiefs banner. That night, we saw the movie The Happytime Murders. On Friday, we went to Coors Field for a Rockies vs. Cardinals game. The Rockies lost 7-5.

Everyone at the hotel got an early wake-up call on Saturday when the fire alarm went off. One of the hotel staff members had accidentally set it off. I suited in the fursuit parade and was actually in the front row for the fursuit photo. At closing ceremonies, the con staff announced 2,086 people attended this year and raised $15,000 for Freedom Service Dogs. I ended the night at the hotel bar with several other furries.

The one complaint many people had about the hotel this year (as well as during RMFC 2016) was the extra-long hallway between the smaller event rooms and the larger main event rooms. Hopefully next year's DenFur can find a hotel with a less-exhausting layout.
