Prepare your bodies for my thoughts on "Dancer Furs"
Posted 12 years ago
Later today I will hop in suit and do a video, similar to what 
imaginaryskye did to discuss my views on this current Dancer Fur debacle. I will be expressing my opinion and my opinion only. I may cry, I may get very angry and who knows how long it will go. I will discuss my journey so far in the dance community here in the furry world and outside the furry world. I hope you all will watch it.
And most importantly, know that I love you all so very much. <3
imaginaryskye*~*~MFF 2013 Con, Dance and Feels Recap~*~*
Posted 12 years ago
This was my very first MFF and wow what a con space. The hotel is wicked cool, as I'm a sucker for neatly designed buildings. But you're not here for an in depth discussion of building design, you want dem details.
Well first off major thanks to Vince and Atsu for picking us up from the Midway Airport Thursday afternoon. Twas the best start to the con to see your smiling faces and go get some noms at Steak N' Shake. After that we unpacked our luggage and we were whisked away to Benchilla's room. Hugs were to be had as we got to see Doryuu, Flip, Ikato, Rahne, Glitch, and Freya for the first time that MFF which was awesome.
So then our interview started and not long into it a suiter clawed at the door. Little did I know that Ben had stagged a whole thing to capture my reaction to Ty Fusky being at MFF. I saw that adorable head peek around the corner and I fucking freaked. I latched on to him in a koala bear hug and just.... yes.... yes! Then of course I wanted to hit him but that's out relationship. <3
So yeah, much interviewing and chatting later, it was time to head down to Registration. This was the most archaic system of registration I've ever seen. One giant line leading up to alphabetized lines you don't even know about? And then when you get up there they don't just give you a badge they give you a sticky note and send you elsewhere? Then the conbook doesn't even come with a bag to hold it? Come on guys.
Anywho at this time I wanted to drink so we meet up with Reyn Dog and his gf Katie. Drinks were had, I got drunk, I put Gale on and caused chaos and hammed it up for video cameras all around the con space. Strobes and I finally met Frost Wolf and his friends, that guy rules! He's so damn chill! I also met the lovely Spazz Fox in my drunken shenanigans, which was awesome! BEDTIME.
Friday. Frostbite, Lav, Strobes and I decided to have a roomate breakfast by walking 15min to the mall food court. It wasn't open. We got stuff at Starbucks that was meh. That was when we all realized there is like no food in a reasonable walking distance from the hotel, especially in 30 degree windy weather. Anywho after that I suited up for the Saber Tooth Photoshoot which was a roaring success! Got to see my buddies Mojito, Sabre T Tiger, Torq, Revit, Sodders, Slash, and many others which was awesome. The sabers are always an incredible group of folks! After that it was dinner time before dance comp tryouts. TJ, Bemani, Strobes and I went to the Mexican restaurant up the road about 15min. SO WORTH THE WALK OMG <3 Amazing food, timeliness and prices!
After that it was back to the hotel to suit up and do the dance comp tryouts. 30 people were entering novice and another 30 were trying out for veteran. So I was fucking terrified. Some dancers I had always wanted to see dance in person were trying out like Sparky from the Netherlands and Sekki from Japan. Strobes ended up getting in in the second round, pulling our duet performance through to Sunday. But I was still stressed hoping for my friends to get in. The Veteran category was brutal, everyone was soooooo good. And the Novice? Holy shit new talent! Watching prelims always gets me so fucking amped!!!!
After that it was shower time again then drinking and time, time to suit up and to get ready for DJ Recca's set! His set fucking ruled and man did I go to bed exhausted haha.
Saturday. Breakfast, practicing for Floor Wars with JD Puppy and getting in my pirate costume for the parade. Yay parade, then I had to quickly change costumes into my full suit and vest. Then it was time to go to "Quitting the Fandom" then run to Floor Wars. People adored the fact that JD and I had matching outfits so that was awesome. Floor Wars was fucking insane. People left it all out on that floor. I could not be more proud of Cyan and Strobes for getting to the finals, holy shit. And congrats to my boys Sadie and Ikato for winning the out of suit.
Then a thing happened I honestly never in my life thought would. JD Puppy and I threw down our hardest moves and nastiest combos. We beat the shit out of ourselves, bruised our bodies and went hard as a mascot on game day. And.... we won. We won Floor Wars. Like..... D: WHAT?! It's still slowly hitting me that that happened. Also I'm so honored I got to dance with my best friend for the battles, JD and I worked so hard at making those combos and it payed off. <3 Also a million thanks to Bemani, Thunder, Apollo, Snowy, Ty Fusky and Leone for throwing it all down and giving us some crazy awesome battles!
Here are the Floor Wars Videos:
Round 1:
Semi Finals:
Grand Finals:
After that I showered, grabbed dinner with Strobes, Cyan, Reyn Dog, and Katie Then we drank, ran around, partied, shenaniganed and all that. I was in suit when I saw Huscoon debuting his new suit head. I fangirled it for a solid two minutes only to hear him behind me say "Thank you!" Tricked! Then I did the same to Nbowa only to realize Langren was in the suit not Nbowa. Damn you tricksters!
Finally it was time for Tekfox and Rawkzor's sets. I WAS FUCKING AMPED. Best two hours of the con right there! Danced like crazy with all my friends, be it hardcore dancing or naughty grinding, it was all fun. Rocked that stage with Rei, OMGSparky, Trenton, Apollo, Neeren, Yazzu, Cyan, Akida, Flip, Ikato, Humphery, Pink Lightning, Blue Thunder, Red Velvet, Bemani, Kwik, Kamillex, Toay, and a million billion others. Best part of the con hands down. Don't Stop Me Now....
Sunday. Oh Sunday. Basically Strobes and I suited up, practiced and bam it was time for the Dance Comp. Everyone fucking killed it. OMG. Oh my fucking god. I loved watching everyone go out there. But yo fuck these damn hardwood floors. Could barely move haha.
Shout out to OMGSparky, Snowy Fox and Furtunity. The three of you made me legit cry. I was so proud of you all. You have improved so well and you all went out on that floor and left it all out there. Mad props guys, mad props. <3
And of course congrats to all the winners! Well deserved my darlings <3
Strobes and I had fun, and we made the crowd get into it, but alas it wasn't as clean as it should have been and we can do a lot better next time! Just you all wait!
Then it was like BAM! Feels fest up in JD's room. And honestly I just wanted to party and have fun with everyone, not spit feels all night. Sorry if I seemed aggravated guys. I just hate the last day of cons. But dude I got to bond with Athena, Rody, Apollo, Blue and Pink a lot more than I ever had before which ruled! Thanks for keeping my Sunday positive guys! <3
After that it was time to film Camo's cypher video and go to the dead dog. I fursuited and danced until I could barely stand. For those that were there for my rolling down the hallway shenanigans you know why I was dead tired haha. But yeah, Strobes and I ran away for a dinner date and called it a night.
Monday consisted of packing and one last breakfast with Ty Fusky, Rody, Diggy, Camo and Strobes. Then a million goodbyes and then Strobes, Diggy and myself grabbing a cab to Midway and a meal. One last goodbye sesh. Boarding the plane. Take off. Boston. Goodnight.
MFF 2013 was over.
- - -
FEELS TIME
- - -
Honestly MFF was a weird con for me. I got to see all my pals but I felt very very taken aback by a lot of people. I felt like many of my friends were very off, and just not being themselves. There were moments I looked at people and though "Who are you and what did you do with my friend?" I'd look out at the Cyphers at the nightly dances and think "wait where's this person, or this person, or this person..." and it upset me. This happened to me a multitude of times and it threw my whole con off. Did I have fun? Yeah, yeah I did. Was it my favorite con, fuck no! Honestly I don't see the granduer. FurFright remains my favorite con, followed close by Anthrocon and FCN (now MCFC). Will I come back? Yes I will. They have a lot to improve on though holy shit.
As for my own feels. Well Sunday night triggered a lot of feels for me. Like I said earlier though I wanted to party with everyone not blab about feels. But here you go here's my feels.
Up until 2010 I was living the life. I had a countless amount of friends, I was a party gal and an engineering major at an amazing college, I was the mascot at said college and I basically was a fucking god at UVM. I was Mama Mollie for my friends and I loved to have fun. Then in January 2011 I found the fandom through furry dance videos. I hopped right on board. I said to myself "Holy shit, people mascot for fun with their own characters?!" And got right on in. I created Nexus Folf first and she was my only character for my first con, Anthrocon 2011. Then I created Gale Frostbane and she debuted as a fursuit for FurFright 2011. After FF I got so deeply involved with furry it just grasped my life. And I loved it. Everyone was so kind, welcoming and loving. This inner animal person I always had wanted to be finally got to come out and I loved it! My family accepted it and so did my friends. And in 2012, after AC 2012, Camo Husky pushed me to dance. I was terrified of the thought. "ME? Dancing with people like Atsu..... Doryuu.... Dex Raccoon....V..... NOPE" I was terrified. But at FurFright 2012 I did it. I danced in the competition and I had so much fun. I'll always remember the advice I got from Ikato, Kwik, Atsu, Camo, Remix and others on how to improve and grow. I felt accepted. It was amazing. FurFright 2012 will always be an amazing con for me because I also spent it with the love of my life, Strobes. The DancerFam not only helped me express myself as a dancer, but I found my true love. Kavi and Blue immediately started helping me grow back home in Boston. I did dance classes, I watched videos, Blue even got me to dance without my suit on in Boston outside the Prudential Center one night. I got into the FCN Dance Comp and had a blast with it. I danced with Squeak, one of the dancers that inspired me to join the fandom in the first place. I wanted to get better. I started dancing at college, hiding behind a booze blanket, but people praised me. It was awesome. Strobes and I did a duet at Anthrocon. We fucking danced on the fucking AC stage. A dream became real. Quickly Remix and Flinch became my mentors, guiding me and critiquing me till I wanted to get better and better and better. I did the FurFright dance comp.
But all this time I thought to myself. "You're a mascot Mollie... you've got nothing technical. You'll never place." And I saw how brutal the competitions changed people and god I thought "maybe I don't want to place...." Then my bf did. And Flinch and Remix did. And I was so happy. I was so proud! <3 I wanted to show them I could do it to, I could train hard enough and place one day.
Floor Wars at MFF. JD and I danced our hearts out. And we did it. We won. We were Floor Wars champions. I had finally placed. Guys I'm sobbing right now just thinking about it. I wanna get better, and I'm going to.... and I'm going to work hard to get better. I want to entertain the crowd until I fucking die. I wanna make them laugh and I'll break every fucking bone in my body, doing stunts and shit to make that audience smile. I will not give up, I will not stop dancing and I will never stop fursuiting. You dancers got me addicted to this fandom and I ain't going anywhere now.
Dancer Fam For Life. <3

FurFright 2013 Infection Report - Day 4 and 5
Posted 12 years ago
The dawn of the final day. I had wanted to do the fursuit games, but due to sheer exhaustion and the want to say goodbye to my friends leaving that day, I passed up on the games.
Our day started off with a delicious roommate breakfast down in the hotel. OMG their sunday brunch is incredible! Yum yum yum!
After that it was time for SUIT SWAP SUNDAY! I hopped in 
's suit and ran around with Meander and 
. It was utterly hilarious, as Meander is a grumpy fox character so it was very fun and different to play. I had some hilarious moments, such as throwing 
's backpack in the trash and beaming 
in the head with a bottle of water. I also did a little dance video as Meander, and I'll upload that here when it's done.
After that I picked up my spoopy commission from Telephone, showered and got ready for Sadie and JD's swing panel. I spent the whole panel hanging out with 
though, as he had to leave when the panel was over. Him leaving kind of sent everyone into the first kick of PCD. Tears were had and hugs were given as we said goodbye to Neerren, 
, 
and the other Quebec furs leaving at that time.
Saying goodbye to my Canada friends always sucks, cause I usually only see them at AC and FF. The drag from FurFright to AC is stupidly long so I really do miss them. Gunna try to do Furnal Equinox this year so I can say hi!
Anywho, after that we went out for Benchilla's birthday dinner, which was very fun! And then I scurried back for the 
photoshoot! After that Strobes and myself were interviewed by Benchilla for the Dancer Furs documentary. I always love sharing my thoughts and stories so that was enjoyable.
Literally right after I finished, 
and I booked it downstairs in suit for the second parade. We walked behind 
and Belic was behind us, so our little group was laughing the whole time.
After that I retired Gale for the rest of FurFright and went to 
, 
and 
's room. I became and adorable little mini Arinmal and spent the rest of my night wandering around as the glowing folf and saying goodbye to folks.
***INCOMING FEELS***
The end of the night entailed me watching Kintari, Flinch, Remix, Kairoo, Jake, and Strobes while I sat in the corner, smile painted on my face, trying to hold back the tears.
I honestly didn't have anything left in me to dance, and I'm terrified of dancing out of suit so there I sat, watching my friends destroy every beat. Everyone had grown so much in just three days, it was incredible! I thought to myself how blessed I must be to be able to be part of this glorious furry family. My life had already been awesome, but ever since I joined the fandom back in January 2011, my life has become insanely incredible. And even more recent, last FurFright actually, when I joined this dancer fur family, I became friends with a crew of people I can call my family and mean it. I truely feel like a Mama Gale when I watch everyone dance and perform, as I can watch them grow from first time dancers to gods walking the earth. You all make me so proud!
And to the non dancers, to every furry I've ever encountered, let it be known that your smile, your hug, your hello, brightens my day. Your friendship inspires me to be better. Your talents as a suiter, performer, dancer, artist, musician, gamer, car nut, chef, brewer, worker, etc. drive me to grow my talents and learn new things. Every last one of you is a beautiful person and I hope you continue to be.
It takes everything I have to not break down and cry the end of each con. Hugging you all goodbye is like ripping a bone from my body. Whether you live in the same city, same state, New England, the east coast, the west coast, Canada, Great Britan, Germany, Australia... anywhere, it hurts to say goodbye. Not a day goes by I don't think of you all.
But yeah...... that final night ended with all the roomies in bed. We new would be leaving in the middle of the night, so it was hard not to hug him before we went to sleep, but I didn't want to wake him. I hugged 
before we climbed in the other bed, and then I held tight to and 
and we dozed off.
Monday morning. Time to pack the cars and grab one last breakfast. The remaining Dancer Furs and Quebec furs reunited one last time at Dunkies. Good bye hugs were given and we all waved as our cars headed in different directions. I dropped off Flinch at the airport, and then drove off to Boston, jamming out to music and dancing the whole way home.
Then I made dinner for Strobes, cause that's my life.
But yeah.... that was a con I will never forget and thank you to everyone who made it so special. And especially to Belic.... for being the best damed Bruins Bear I'll ever know!
See ya at MFF everyone!
Peace and Love,
Gale <3
FurFright 2013 Infection Report - Day 3
Posted 12 years ago
The dawn of day 3.... bright..... sunny.... full of groans of exhausted dancers and an undead wolf. We groggily awoke, some of us (namely Flinch) drinking more booze to curb the hangovers. Showers were had, breakfast was gotten and it was time begin another day.
I started my day in my partial, attending the Dancer Furs Cypher at 10am until Noon and then I just ran around in suit and enjoyed my time to do whatever. I visited in the dealers room and bought some FurFright swag (T shirt, backpack, pint glass and 2012 DVD). Around 2 I swung back up to my room with Strobes, Flinch, Remix and Hunter so we could suit up and Hunter could grab his camera.
I then got in my second outfit of the day for Gale, Little Red Riding Hood Gale, which was overall a major hit! And Remix got to jump in my Nexus suit for a change of pace from that creepy ass spider. We then headed down to the parade line up to meet up with 
who walked the parade with us. Little Red and The Big Bad Wolf turned out to be a perfect couples get up for Strobes and I and we had a blast with it. I always love the FF parade cause at the photo you always see all your friends!
That was the first time at the con I ran into my boys 
and 
. Of course I saw all my Quebec furs darlings out there as well! We got some great photos and then I decided to do some bucket brigading. Hunter kindly came along with me, which was awesome, cause we hadn't hung out just us at the con yet.
I raised $147 in that outing, basically hamming it up and being super sexy and naughty and doing just about anything to get money in my bucket. That put my grand total for the weekend at around $230 raised by bucket brigading for the War Dogs.... it's not even close to the $500 goal I had set for myself, but I'll go way harder next year!
After that it was time to practice a little for the dance comp. As we awaited everyone out in the hall I finally met the lovely 
and 
. They're both super nice, and I truly regret not hanging out with them more, but hey, that's what MFF and future cons are for!
Then and I snuck off to practice a bundle before the comp, which was very helpful I'd say, and quite fun!
Anywho at this point in time I had been suiting for about 7 hours and figured I should take a break before the dance comp. And so with tired feet it was time to order pizza...... for around 25 people haha. That was quite the fiasco! But it was good cause I got to hang with 
and 
along with the Roo Crew, the dancers and everyone.
Oh yeah and we saw and perform their masquerade act AND OMFG IT WAS SO GOOD LIKE AHHHHHH! The audience was so fucking dead but holy shit they rocked it!
Anywho this was the point in time where I began curling up in my own head. I got in fullsuit and walked down to the headless lounge hand in hand with Strobes. I always get a little nervous before the dance comps but it passes quickly when I see everyone else.
We gathered, all eagerly awaiting the stage to be ours and our names to be called one by one. I hugged and/or kissed every competitor as they waited to go on, cause I was so proud of what everyone brought to the table! Seriously I was loosing my shit back stage cause everyone fucking KILLED IT. Omg and the audience, there were so many of you! AHHHHH! When I got on stage and saw my best friends in those front rows my fear disappeared and I just had a great time! And so here it is, my FF 2013 Dance Comp entry:
And here's the closing and awards stuff:
I lost my shit when my roomates swept the competition, and my boyfriend! GUYS THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND! AHHHHH! The love of my life got 2nd place! And two of the most talented people I have the honor of calling friends nabbed 1st and 3rd! Please go check out all 11 videos.
And to my darlings- cyancrux flinch strobes theremix 
rsrallygrl 
jordanthebluewolf 
kairoo kitsuneren jakebolt 
ino89777 .... you are all so incredible! Never ever stop dancing and never ever stop being who you are. You blow my mind and make me oh so happy to call you all friends. <3
After the dance comp it was time to get drunk and dance our butts off down at 's set. I also got to teach the wonderful 
how to chug beer... although it was freezing cold and impossible to chug. It was INCREDIBLE! I even brought some champagne down to the headless lounge to share with everyone. And yeah I was in a major dirty dancing mood.... so I majorly dirty danced on everyone.
The summary of the night can be summed up in this one quote that #Room273 will understand: "I feel a peeper!"
Well... it's 3:30am.... BEDTIME!

FurFright 2013 Infection Report - Day 2
Posted 12 years ago
The sun arises friday morning.... I'm stuck between a vice grip that consists of Strobes and Flinch's assess in bed. Wide awake. Everyone else is passed out. Fuck this I'm going back to sleep.
Morning again! And this time we need some food! A quick breakfast at Dunkies it is as we say farewell to Riana. Then it's off to the MFD Dance Workshop Panel. I pick up my new handpaws from :OMGpineapples: and so my day of utter chaos begins.
10am- Dance Workshop and hanging out with peeps
11am- Opening Ceremonies to walk my good friend 
get honored and laugh at all of Belic's hilarious jokes
Noon- Kick the dancers out of my panel room and set up for my panel "Advanced Mascot and Fursuit Performance" A huge huge huge thanks to 
and 
for being my suiters during the panel. It was really fun and I think the crowd enjoyed it. To everyone who showed up, thank you so much, I hope you has a blast! And a special thanks to 
for letting me pull him on the spot to discuss his public suiting experiences.
1pm- Hunter and myself booked it over to the main ballroom with my suit that I had been carrying around all day for fursuit dance comp prelims. There weren't enough people to do tryouts so we all just got to practice on the stage which was awesome! Everyone blew me away, Cyan, Flinch, my boyfriend, Jake, Jordan, Kairoo, Neerran, Rally, Remix and Telephone! You are all so amazing, like whoah! And major thanks to 
for giving us all feedback.
2pm-4pm- I did bucket brigade with and and omg it was so fun! We went fucking hard trying to raise money; dancing, being cute, having fake fights and all that good jazz. I myself know I raised almost $100 that day, so I can only imagine how much all three of us combined got.
After that it was time to shower, and go grab dinner with Jake, Cyan and Hunter. Dinner was a miserable experience but hey at least I spent time with my pals!
Then the four of us attempted to nap, to no avail. I then hopped back in suit around 7:40 and headed down to 's panel "How to Handle a Fursuiter" so I could be an example for him to use. Lots of laughs were had and dude I had such a fun time doing it!
Then it was time to host my party "Dia De Los Murrtos" which was a raging success and packed full of people. It was epic seeing everyone and omg there was soooo much booze! To everyone who came, I hope you liked it, to everyone who missed it, boy did you miss a hilarious event.
After that it was dance time, and like last year, we created our own little dance area in the back of the hotel thanks to my abilities to sway the security of FF. <3 But basically it was super fun and then eventually it was bedtime.
We came back to room to find a very passed out, very sleepy white wolf on our floor. Simply another victim of the Infection.
FurFright 2013 Infection Report - Day 0 and 1
Posted 12 years ago
The infection began around 4pm on Wednesday as I drove through the mega traffic of Boston toward logan airport, deciphering text messages that made no sense. I should have been more careful, I should have known the cargo I was about to pick up would prove to be deadly for the masses. As I rolled into Logan Airport and spotted the creature, in his dorky shorts and ridiculous hair.... oh I should have turned around. But with meticulous care and ease I loaded the cargo into my car and brought him to the household of Toof and Sass. had arrived and soon the world would end. The infection had begun...
But seriously Strobes, Flinch and myself had a blast Wed, from dinner time, to playing magic time to blood bath time... truly wonderful. Then it was sleep time... but not for long cause had work in the morning so we all woke up at 5:30 and never went back to sleep. Eventually after much packing and lazing about Flinch and I hit the road to Cromwell.
It was a quick journey, under 2 hours and we arrived at the golden arches of McDonalds.... and then took a left to the Crowne Plaza.... which just looks like a hotel, nothing too crazy. We immediately saw 
, , and and started unloading my car. We ran into the adorable and fluffy and gave him his card key. With the car unloaded it was decidedly dinner time, as Strobes had just arrived. So yeah we had Friendly's, bought a lot more booze encountered a true ghost cop and booked it back to the hotel.
This was where shit got real, cause my girl RIANA! (aka my college roomate) was standing there in the parking lot! I told her to come see what a furry con was all about and she did. Many hugs and laughs later we were in line for registration with , and Kenny. Props to FF for making registration go really fast this year, that was impressive. Ooooo I also met and 
while we were in line, which I was very excited about since I have known Zuki online for a long time!
DRINKING TIME. SUIT UP. Ok here it gets blurry but was now there and it was now time to drink heavily and cause chaos. Much alcohol was consumed, and drinking get together turned into a mini party. There were way too many folks for me to list them all, but to everyone who came thanks for coming :)
At this point I was borderline blackout... and it was time to explore. I party fouled in the lobby... got it on tape... and thus drank more in shame with the Roo and Crew (this is what Invhent, Cypher and Kenny will now be referred to).
Yeah.... so I guess I was hammered.... and dancing... and people were listening to my poor instructions... and I dropped it low of 
and there were shenanigans.... and we met up with and company and we called my roomate Gabby and Skye spoke to her in Spanish and Gabby thought Skye was a girl and there was more nonsense and I got caught under a table cloth and met a pumpkin headed thing of awesome that was

Posted 12 years agoHOLY SHIT ONLY 18 DAYS!!!!!!! I'll have a meme journal coming soon :3I'm feeling 22..... Well not really...
Posted 12 years ago
As Mama Gale, I feel like 22 passed me a long time ago...
But really, today is not only National Wildlife Day (as a certain polar bear informed me) it is also my 22nd birthday. I may or may not have wanted to just sleep the whole day.... but I didn't! The struggle to also be 5 years old and run around with a cape is too great.
So yeah excuse me whilst I go celebrate and have brownies for breakfast.
Oh, and what's my best gift? Probably having all the incredible friends that I have in this fandom, having a family in this fandom that never runs out of love, and having the best boyfriend in the world. <3
Much love,
Nexus

Nothing special, just a quick freestyle since it had been awhile. Enjoy! :3
Video Update of this Summer
Posted 12 years ago
So I've been in a few videos this summer that I wanna throw up here.
First and foremost I made it into the Fursuit Dance Competition at Anthrocon. It was such an honor to be picked as a finalist out of all those that tried out (48 people tried out I believe for 20 spots). My boyfriend and I both got in, but we had a routine planned together, so we only took one slot. Performing with him was incredible! Performing on the AC stage, was a dream come true! And I'm so happy we entertained people and made people smile, after all, that's what it's all about. :3

***
Next we've got my Floor Wars video. I was terrified to enter, but man I had a great time. I got to go up against a good friend too, , which made it incredible! He def kicked my ass, but man was it sick watching him dance! I'll certainly try another Floor Wars some con soon!
Video credit to 
***
Next up a fantastic video by the one and only WildBillTexas! I have been hoping to meet WBTX for awhile now, so getting a spot in his video was fucking awesome. His videos are just so silly and fun, which is why I adore them! Plus he's a great guy! Looking forward to talking to him more at future cons!
Video credit to 
***
Then of course there's my boy Camo. He managed to catch some footage of me as a hooman kissing his adorable Bemani Tiger nose! Plus this video is just fucking awesome!
Video credit to 
P.S. I'm gunna try and beat his record at some point before next AC :P
***
So yeah, those are the videos from AC I was in, or at least the ones that have been posted. There will be more later for sure.
For now, peace and love everyone!
F5 for cute new icon!

Posted 12 years agoMomentarily, and myself will be departing our humble abode and hitting the pavement on our way to Jonestown PA to go hang out with his family. Our plan is to chill with them until Wed morning. On Wed we will hit the road again, making our way to Pittsburgh for a 2pm arrival.
How to contact me during AC
1) Twitter: Nexus_Folf
2) Cell phone: Note me for my number
3) Contact either Strobes, Kavi or Pherric on twitter as they will almost always at least know where I am
If you need to pick up a badge from me I will be bringing them to Floor Wars on Saturday otherwise I'll be walking around with them. I'd advise you go to Floor Wars to pick them up though and stay to watch cause it'll be crazy!
So yeah see you all at AC! Safe travels
Peace and Love,

Gale's in the FFFF again
Posted 12 years ago
What's the FFFF?
It's the Fandom's Favorite Fursuit Fracas. It's a very cute idea some people had years ago to have the community vote for thier annual favorite fursuit based on looks, talent, and performances. Some people take it way to seriously, me I think it's silly and fun. I love looking at all the suiters! :3
What does this mean for you?
Well Gale was nominated for it again this year by someone (thank you whoever you are) and she's up this round. The round closes tomorrow at midnight.
You can vote for her, but please do only if you like her more than my opponent. No matter what I will continue on trying to be the best fursuiter and performer I can be!

Life Update: Graduation, Loss of a Friend, Fursuiting, BF
Posted 12 years ago
Hi everyone. Sorry I've been so quiet lately. Life has been zooming by at warp speeds. So much has happened in the past month it's crazy! So here's the rundown:
Graduation
That's right I'm a graduate. I now have a diploma from the University of Vermont saying I survived four years and deserve a B.S. in Environmental Engineering. I kicked my Senior Design Project in the ass after months of torment and having a terrible group. In fact this was my best semester grade-wise since freshman year. So yeah I had my hardest classes, biggest assignments and non stop mascoting jobs and I still rocked it!
It's bittersweet though. I already miss my college friends. After graduation I had to say goodbye to my advisor and two best friends, who were practically my brothers. I'll see them again, but who knows when.
I'll miss Vermont dearly, especially the natural beauty of it. And to all my VT Furs fam, I love you all and I'll be back to visit! Stay classy for me guys!
RIP Max
My dog of 15 years passed away, and my mom told me about this right after I graduated. I haven't cried that hard in awhile. I miss him lots. He was a great pup. I got a wonderful commission in his memory which can be seen here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10700944/
(My little blurb about his life is included there as well)
To my friends with pets, give them all a big hug for me and God Bless them all. <3
Strobes, Me and Our Future
Well my darling will be coming here to Boston on June 15th (7 month anniversary). Only change this time is he ain't leaving. In fact, we're getting an apartment. I'll be living with the love of my life from here on out. Expect parties and shindigs in the near future. <3 Oh btw, I love him a lot. <3
Fursuiting, Cons, Shenanigans
Dude. So much fursuiting and awesomeness lately. A few weeks ago I had one last outting in Burlington as a VT resident. Myself, 
, Danny, and 
went out and romped around on a GORGEOUS day in Burlington, VT. It was such a blast, and it ended with a yummy dinner and beer. Love you guys! I'll see you all soon.
When I got home to Boston, and I decided we had to crash Anime Boston. Luckily 
was going to be home in time as well so the terrible trio could be complete. I swear those two boys are family to me, they make everything so awesome and fun! and Anime Boson FUCKING RULED. We were basically celebraties. We went in without a handler and just got mobbed for pictures and hugs. We suited 4 straight hours and sweat soooo much. I uploaded some pictures, but more are to come when I get them from others we met.
Oh and we danced a ton. We danced to RabbitRevolution and another dance booth. We also danced with the cutest little girl (probably 5 years old). She was dressed up like a disney princess, and her parents video taped our entire interaction. She loved us, and she taught us how to dance like a proper princess. None of us could match her moves, she was just too talented. Her parents quietly thanked us and we hugged her goodbye. It was overall a fantastic experience.
Coming up, I've got parties and meets to go to, and lots of them. Very excited for all of them. My next con will be Anthrocon. I will arrive Wednesday afternoon and I'll be there until Monday. Can't wait to see everyone again!
So yeah that's whats up in my life. Hope you're all doing well.
Much love,
Gale
I'm a busy busy busy saber kitty!

Hey gang! So I'll be graduating May 19th, and I have a ton to do before them, so life is kinda crazy.
I do wanna do another dance video soon, I just need the time! Hopefully this weekend!
Love you all and I hope you are all well! <3
*snuggles for all*
