Wanted to create a journal for this. As of October 13, 2023, I adopted a new character from   Bugbytes

Her name is Beebee, a changeling from the MLP Universe. She is a bug who happens to love science that was originally created by OmniPossum aka Buttwings. I happen to be her third owner, but she now has a forever home. In the upcoming days / weeks I will be uploading various art of her. Some of them lack signatures, but I will do my best to credit any of the artists I can that drew them.

A dear friend of mine is trying to raise money to help support her father / family. She has a GoFundMe set up, as well as taking commissions for art - please check out her gallery / journal of her situation: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9526634/

I appreciate it. I don't really use that site for anything much anymore, but browse it from time to time.

All I ask is please avoid sharing / uploading the vore stuff. It gets a lot of hate - and understandably so - and want to avoid the main show fans from seeing it. I uploaded some in the past, and well it did not go well. So I just keep it on here tucked away.

Anyhow, thanks again to the one that has been uploading

I'm also uploading stuff to Twitter if you find that to be easier to pull from instead of here - https://twitter.com/BatPonyEcho

In my case, that is. I dunno, there *may* be hopes that ASE (Anthro Southeast) will still happen in October, but I am not counting on it.

Read how MFM (Mephit Furmeet) was cancelled for 2020. It was bound to happen, I suppose. Really sucks, because I actually have made a bunch of product to sell at the con that would had netted me some extra $$$, and now it has to sit until next year, lol. Dont care to do online sells / shipping them either.

Ah well, it is what it is. The saddest part is I use these conventions as a way to unwind / goof off / de-stress....and it looks like I'll be holding all that stuff within me until god knows when. Just hope I don't go crazy / insane.

To those that celebrate it, Happy Nightmare Nights / Halloween! I'm at home...eating the candy that I am suppose to be passing out. No one is showing up. Their loss I guess. My (weight) gain

I've hesitated for so long...I finally got around to creating a Twitter account. I suppose you can follow if you even read these journal entries. Its gonna take some time to get used to though.

Heading up there this Saturday! I should be meeting up with my suit maker to get a duct tape dummy made for the new and improved Echo the Bat!

I also hope to seek out some traditional sketches while I am there.

Will be wearing the mule partial, John Henry.

I need to purchase a new printer, so I want to buy one that can print out high quality photos so I can print out my own art prints for myself. I'm currently wyeballing the massive Canon PIXMA PRO-100 but reviews are kind of everywhere on it. If you print out your own photos, what do you use or recommend?

Any recommendations? I'd like to get a cute one done and mailed to me.

Dang it...it always sucks when one has to return from real life. Another MFM down. Now for the countdown to begin for next years! I didn't suit as much - spent time as a vendor instead with my mom. Sadly, didn't do as great as we wish we did (my mom sells embroidered towels, and while they are great quality, it just doesn't seem to be the right thing for a furry con), but during the downtime we both started tossing ideas of cheaper items and more unique things that can be done. So hopefully next year we'll have interesting items for sale.

I'll add some pics over time - cell phone pics aren't the best of quality, so I'll wait for the many photographers who did a wonderful job of covering the convention post their pics, then I'll add them / link to their work.

Fursuit wise, John Henry was great. Paddlefoot - the suit maker, did an amazing job on him. Best of all was the visibility and breathability he had! Sadly, my cheap pitchfork that I carried broke. I ended up throwing it in the trash, but of course, furries being furries decided to dig it out and play with it and somehow it ended up returning back to me XD

So now I wait until October for a quick day trip to Anthro Southeast in Chattanooga, TN. I'm hoping there I can get a duct tape dummy made for my updated Echo Bat fursuit.

Yay, looking forward to getting out for another convention. This time it is Mephit Furmeet in Southaven, Mississippi! It's an extremely small con, but sometimes a laid back con with friends is exactly what one is needed. Won't have the bat / pony with me this year - will be debuting two new fursuits:

John Henry the Mule
Bojack Horseman

The bat will return next year when the new fursuit for it gets made.

Anyhow, I know not too many people read these...but by the small chance you know you're going, feel free to comment that you are!

Oh man, just got the final pics of my Mule fursuit - John Henry. Super-excited, the creator is packing and sending him out tomorrow! I've been wanting a mule fursuit for some time as I have 4 mules and a donkey at my parent's farm. Should have some pics to share later this week.

...making a journal. I need to use this feature more, but it always slips my mind to. So ummmm.... hi.

I don't really use the Journal feature much. Wish I kinda did, but I have nothing of importance going on in my life that warrants using them. Plus everyone tends to delete them anyways. Regardless, just a Merry Christmas to anyone that celebrates it / reads it.

I forgot how hard it is to actually publicize and to get a new group going....bleh...

If you're a bat furry, or know of one that is, by all means please share this Facebook group with them: https://www.facebook.com/groups/282483035638873/

Would like to build up a community. Been slowly trying to search FA for fellow bat lovers, but not much luck yet.

I've seen bat groups on Telegram, Discord, FA, and DA...but there wasn't a single bat group here on Facebook. That's okay, guess I'll make one.

Any bats out there going to FWA 2018?   whosdr created a telegram group for Bat related activities - try this link to join
https://t.me/joinchat/Dm5jwBFjGZP1JCwe7YR4Bg

In just a couple more weeks, yes!!!

I'll be bring Echo the Bat as well as BoJack Horseman - so if you happen to spot those two, then more than likely its me! But....nobody cares to meet me anyways, so yeah...lol

Anyways, hope there are some bat events or meetups taking place there.

Whomever plans to be there, drop a comment below, would like to meet up with you!

No MFF this year, but thats a good thing I suppose. Looking forward to seeing all of the new improvements they have made for this year. Only thing in concrete right now is FWA 2018, which I am highly looking forward to! Debating if I should consider making a new bat or just stick with Echo :P

One can never have too many bats

So MFM is taking place next weekend! I'll be stuck in the vendors area most of the con trying to sell off my mom's crafts, but come night time I'll be skreeing it up as Echo the Bat. I doubt any followers that follow me are going, but in the slim chance you are, let me know! Would be nice to meet / see ya!

Just a short recap of the last journal entry:

Whelp, my friend that I was traveling with to AnthroCon’s transmission literally crapped out on him which is costing him a few grand in repairs, thus canceling our trip to AnthroCon.

Instead of asking for money like most people are, we’re changing our plans to good off and do local stuff to still somewhat celebrate it. We’re in need of video ideas - if you can think of any, let us know by clicking on the video link and dropping a comment! He’s a husky furry, and I’ll be a bat (not a bat pony this time).

Please watch and drop a comment at this video if you can think of any funny ideas!

Well, it looks like I will have to step away from AnthroCon for this year. I'm not mad or sad that I cannot make it....more that I'm sad of the fact that my friend can't make it. His transmission in his car went kaput and he has to pony up some big bucks to get it replaced, thus eating into the AnthroCon funds.

Sadly he was looking forward to the con a lot. For the con itself, I can't say I was too thrilled about it. Sure, I want to visit Pittsburgh, and Fernado's or whatever that restaurant is called - and even to hang with friends. But the con / panels weren't interesting to me.

But that's okay! We got Memphit Fur Meet in which I'm a dealer at, and then we plan to hit up Midwest Furfest again - in which I really hope it snows so we can get some great snow shots :D

It's almost time for FWA, yay!!! Finally looking forward to properly testing and wearing my Bat fursuit and hanging with some good friends.

I doubt any of my followers are going, but if you are and see me out there, do throw a mango in my direction! :D

Gah, the game is so much damn fun. I hadn't enjoyed gaming like this since the N64 days (I didn't care for the Wii or WiiU). But the Switch is amazing. Nice to have a normal console from Nintendo once again.

I've been neglecting art, and will continue to do so until I can beat it :D

EEEEE thanks everyone that is reading this. Looks like I just hit the 100 follower mark. :D

Funny, how for the longest time over the years, I've always hesitated to properly join this site...but now, it it pretty much my main source that I use because its easier to manage / store all my art in one place. Funny how things work out :3

Anyways, thanks again...I don't really have anything important to say otherwise
