Hey y'all,

Then you might like Tango Unknown!

So, for the past few months I have been working in my spare time on a project with someone. I got semi-accidentally tangled up in it, gave it my all, and now it's live.

It's only e-pub, but I am officially a published (co-)author.

Give it a look, it's a mini-campaign, military survival horror set in NYC, with no zombies.

I am extremely excited.

Hey y'all,

I only knew him personally in the last few years, and only through letters, and emails.

But he's one of the main reasons I am here, on this website, and a part of this fandom.

So, way back in the mid-'90s, I had reason to be in Portland Maine on a weekly basis, and in town there was a lil' comic shop called 'Idle Worship'.

Whilst perusing the comics, I found myself looking at the small, but interesting 'funny animal' section.

And found Antarctic Press' 'Furrlough' #18. There was a cute VC mouse on the cover, and I, being a war-stuff buff ( and a teenager, lol) picked it up, flipped through it and gladly paid the $2.75.

I had no idea there was a furry fandom, or anything else. But it lit a spark in me, and while many years later, the fire doesn't burn as high and hot, it's still there.

When he found out I was a collector of militaria, he sent me a 'starter' of WWII items, and other things.

I only wish I could have met him, but time and money never got nailed up right for me to visit.

So, farewell  shep Thank you for the inspiration, and may you rest well.

Hey y'all,

So, we are all aware of how absolutely awesome  -blackout- is, right?

They decided to somehow overcome that, to become even more awesome. Wasn't sure it was possible.

How, you ask? They decided to write a short series set in my PostWar universe.

I will repost them on my Page, and have direct links on this Journal.

It's called 'The Farm' and it is a killer tale.

Hey y'all,

Still alive. Still in self-imposed iso. Nothin' else really changes.

This song is great:

https://www.somethingawful.com/news.....tter-together/ With what's going on, this spoke to me. My old friend Mudge taught me 'Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. It will likely be something in between.'

I learned years ago that either you learn to ride the waves of crazy, and embrace the suck, or you get pulled under.

And the sharks, they are hungry, brother.

Be safe y'all. I mean it when I say to Check Six.

Dire.

Hey y'all,

Yes, I'm still an MLP fan. I literally only found out about this when I checked my 'mail- https://online.babscon.com/ I'll be on the Discord, lurking about.

Hey y'all,

Well, I have self-quarantined. Because I've been saying 'The government needs to lock us down' a lot, and I'm watching things-

Yeah, I'm not gonna catch/spread this thing just 'cause Karen wants a friggin' milkshake.

Hopefully my savings will outlast the Kung Flu.

Stay safe out there.

Something better to focus on than the Kung Flu.

I'm excited- they got a good chunk of the old Westwood crew on it, at Petroglyph. Klepacki's doing the music.

Hey y'all,

So, on the heels of going to the 'con, my roommates have said they want the house to themselves, so I'm in the process of moving. Again.

They are giving me plenty of time, but I am trying to expedite the process (no point in hangin' around). There is a plan in place between me and Bodie, to house up together in (yech) California. Just working on saving up cash for the jump.

So, I'll be either leaving my new AR here in AZ, or selling it (might just do that, it'll be years at best before I can use it) and taking a loss.

Will have to double check the laws about my other guns.

So, yeah.

Hey y'all,

Where to start.

First con. Been in this fandom since like '95.

I've never had so much fun. It was damn near a religious experience. I don't like to use hyperbole like 'life-changing' but this was.

Not a lot of pics, but what we took are RIGHT HERE.

SJ is a great place, super friendly, and even the industrial ghetto we wandered into (more on that later) wasn't too awful.

Oh, yeah, fanboy moment. Met  michelelight Got art, too! And a badge coming!

Talked to  gideon and got a sketch coming.

And art from  cooner.

Also, met  agouti-rex who is extremely entertaining, and will be doing me a sketch.

So, got in on Wednesday, got settled. Me and  bodiecoyote operated as a team for most of this.

Thursday was us trying to find SpaceCat Comics, which led us to the aforementioned ghetto. Saw a primer-grey Burger King, with busted windows, and a single sign declaring the drive thru was under repair.
Did some wandering, checked out things at the con. Got invited to the BABSCon party.

Saw this dude-  ace-orcinus who was crazy tall, and had an amazing 'suit.

Also, Vore Badger is a very fun 'suiter, giving out 'meat' to folks. Also has an AMAZING party trick.

Friday, we did the Bat panel, which was cool as hell. Also saw the HIV testing bus destroy one of it's roof AC units backing into the building.
And then did two of  melwhite's panels, and she is a joy. Learned some things, and got some stuff to think about.
Met  joebear67 who was a lot of fun as well.
Fancy Friday wasn't my thing, and I headed out to the Party Floor after a few minutes there.
So, I now have a new 'weirdest sentence'. 'I was having problems getting to the Brony party, between the Communists and Klingons.'

Saturday the Sponsor Brunch was good stuff, good food, fun people.
Hit the DEFCON Furs panel, learned a few things.
Went to the Puppy Play 101 meet and greet thing. Not my thing.
After that, had dinner with Dr. Mel and Joe Bear and two of their friends. While waiting at the restaurant, a rando wandered up to me and Bodie, 1000-yard-stared past us, and then, in the most defeated voice ever said 'Aw, shit.' and walked off.
Went to the Night Market. Too many people, and, uh, nothing I wanted to buy, lol.

Sunday we did the Transfurring Knowledge panel, which was a pretty interesting panel.
Then, Furry Movies, which was fun, learned about that new 'The Fandom' movie, interested in that.
FC: Unleashed . . . 3 words.

***WORM ONNA STRING!***

Also, nummy tots.

The yo-yo thing was crazy neat.

Holy hell, Fox & Pepper. My first concert. Met them both, Fox was nice, Pepper started laugh-sobbing and said 'I'm soooo sorry!' when I said it was my first concert, which made me laugh.

Concert raised $1500+ for the charity!

Monday I hit the Customer Service War Stories panel . . . and the guy running it all but demanded I do it with him next year.

Bittersweet day. Wandered the con space after it was mostly cleared out. So odd.

I want to do it again.

I will do it again.
