The little hiatus
16 years ago
Sorry about that, I just moved house and have been slowly piecing the world back together. As well as that I joined the committee for the UK furcon and have been doing various things there.
Been working on music, but I've had a few commissions and ideas floated by me... including some collaborations, mmm. It'll be great! But things are a bit quiet just now. I'm not gone though, don't worry about that. ;)

Just make sure you do post the occasional work here, and we shan't have to go knocking on your door. =:)
Still, my impressions are slightly dated; since last time the management has changed, a few of us think the name should change too, but this is the first year under new reins and it'll be interesting to hear reports about it. I have it on good authority that this year's is likely to be much better, if they get their numbers. (It's 5th on my con list, after two filk cons, CF, and EF; I don't have enough money, alas!)
Small meets, hmm? I always thought the largest regional meets were huge for what they were - Manchester and regular London pulled in 100-150 people, and Sheffield always came close in the past. RBW managed ~300 for 2008, but for 2009 has ~170 on its list and reg closes in 10 days. CF had ~200 in 2009, for 2010 has 154, and has given space for 300, with room for 350. It's not that dissimilar to meets, and nothing like Eurofurence - which had ~900 this year. Now that's attendance. ;)
CF's a bit of an overloaded (in the C++ sense =:) acronym for me - that's already occupied by the defunct ConFurence, and present Califur. *grin* Not been to the latter, though it seems like a decent enough relaxacon; but then, I haven't been to /any/ cons since 2000. Might try getting along to Further Confusion sometime, though I'm more likely just to head over to the Wolf Valley room party in-world. =:) All depends what the future holds, really - if I can edge into an iPhone development position in the Bay, that'd make things vastly better, on various fronts, including reuniting me with my social life. *sigh*
EF's really grown, including luring folks from other continents. That's certainly one I'd consider getting along to - furriness and very good beer? Ideal. =:) Feral sounds interesting too, but I'm not sure I'd survive prolonged disconnection from the net. ^_^
CF is CF! A decent event in a nice place for a reasonable price, and certainly easier to get to than any overseas con. Gonna try for EF this year though, I know a number of people who go.
