Just wanted to say, had a fantastic time at Megaplex this year. Reconnected with so many friends who surprisingly remembered me from 4 years ago, but thank you for reminding me what true friendship looks and feels like. I miss you all!
Anyway, as soon as I got back home, it was time for the annual highlight reel to showcase what this year was all about. Hope you like it and please, feel free to share it as wide as you can!

Ya know, I don't really often post artwork to this site anymore, but since I was up late tonight, I started going through old notes and it just really occurred to me how much I really have lost touch with a lot of people. There are things I do regret from years past, but now that my life is getting back in order once again after a 5-year chaotic grip that was held onto me.
After a year and a half move to Jacksonville in 2012-2013, I made it back down to Tampa, then to Davenport, and now after about 11 years of dreaming and really pushing to move to Orlando, finally living in the city I've always wanted to.
Now, the next task will be trying to pick up some of the pieces and re-connect with a lot of furs I've lost contact with over the years.
Now luckily, after 4 years from the last time I ever attended my last con, which was Megaplex, I will be returning once again this year. I have a steadily enough job and making decent money to actually go. I won't be staying at the hotel though cause I live like 20 min away, so yeah...
I'll certainly be bringing my video equipment to document the con like I have years past, and the inclusion of a GoPro that I purchased back in Oct. 2014.
As for that fursuit I kept on touting over and over and a failed attempt with Nataya 5 years ago (which I learned my lesson) I should at least have money after I get married (yes, I'm off the table) in Oct. to actually put forth a commission for OneFurAll Studios to make my very first fursuit. I should've listened to myself 5 years ago and not some idiot who had never done fursuits. Would saved myself a whole lot of time. Anyway, after our California honeymoon, if I play my cards right, I should have that all squared away in Dec. and yes, I'm planning on waiting a while. I think it's totally worth it and then I feel I would have an even better time at fur cons.
Hope I haven't rambled on to much, but I felt I should've given everyone an update on life and whatnot. I still have all my contact info on my profile page.
Usually FB and Twitter are the two best ways to get a hold of me, hope to talk to you again soon!

Well, a lot has changed the last time I posted a journal here. I'm now 30 years old. Yeah, I know, I'm becoming an old otter. Anyway, I'm finally living in the Central Florida area particularly in Davenport and I work for Theme Park Connection, so if you're in the area, feel free to come and say hi!
Anyway, for most of you trying to get a hold of me easily, you should follow me on Twitter JasonLontra or on FB at www.facebook.com/JohnETTW
This month will still be quite busy as I'm moving the rest of my stuff from Wesley Chapel over to the new place, so in the coming months, things should quiet down quite a bit.
Thank you all for following me. Sorry I haven't had the money to buy new artwork, been trying to update other things and artwork is kinda the last thing on my mind.

After 11 years in the Tampa Bay area, its finally time to say goodbye. Many memories made; good and bad. But its time I move on and make new memories in a new city...Jacksonville. To Tampa, so long and farewell.

Well, I registered to attend the NASA Tweetup for the launch of the GRAIL satellites, not even thinking I was going to get picked, but luck was on my side as I was lucky enough to be one of the 150 people that were randomly selected by NASA to be on hand during the launch. The entire event runs both Sept 7th and 8th with the launch taking place on the 8th.
You can be assured that video and photos will be taken during the whole event.
I'm quite excited about the whole thing since I haven't been to the KSC since 1986 when I was 2.

Would anyone out there wanna see and hear the raw video that I took of the Good Life music video with the fursuiters so you can hear what was going on during filming?

I love the fact that makes a cameo in the video.

Here's the 2011 Megaplex Montage video I've been working on. If you were there, see if you made it into my montage.

So, here's the first half of a video project I did during the con. It's just as the title describes.
Enjoy!!

Please, feel free to pass this video around and show everyone. The video is now up on YouTube, so this should make it a lot easier for everyone.

Well, I'm 27 years old!! What a wonderful day today will be. I don't feel a drop over 20. Now where's my cane?

Are there any fursuit makers out there that can make a decent otter full fursuit with a movable jaw and follow me eyes?

Well, I finally registered for Megaplex 2011. I can't believe it's just a month away. Where does the time go? I remember going last year for my first con ever. Now with more knowledge and with the friends that I met last year, I can't wait to see you all in Central Florida.

Remember as well, if you see me going around with my HD camera, I'll be filming a lot for the Megaplex 2011 recap video, just like how I did last year. Just look at the previous journal to see what music I'll be using for this year.

So I've been thinking of music to use when I put this whole thing together after Megaplex is over. One song has stood out the most. Good Life from One Republic. It just works perfect with the whole premise of the video. If you don't know what song that is, here is the music video.

Now I know several months ago I had said I was leaving the fandom. Well, it seems I wasn't ready to leave, just yet. Now on the whole fursuit front. I did have at one point a local Orlando fur making me my fursuit, but I had that canceled since I wasn't getting anywhere with that. I'm now looking at One Fur All Studios to manufacture my fursuit. I don't want to say who the local "fursuit maker" was, but you can be assured...I won't be dealing with that person anymore.

But has for everything else, later this year I'm planning on moving from Largo, FL to Reunion, FL which is in the Central Florida area, so I can be closer to the parks of course.

If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask.
