FC 2017
Posted 9 years agoContinuing my tradition of only going to FC on odd years so I'll see all you fuzzies there. Dragging along a friend dipping his toes into the whole furry scene so depending on what peaks his interest I'll be there, drunk of course. Should be a good show, excited to see how the new convention space works out. See you all soon!

Life Update
Posted 13 years agoI really don't post enough journals. But anyways a bit late but I had a great time at RF. It was the perfect celebration for me getting back from Alaska. Spent most of the weekend quite drunk and saw many friends. Our theater was awesome this year. We had a great team putting it together and we get to give a repeat performance next year. As part of a new tradition I ran the variety show completely smashed. It went great, we had a lot amazing musical acts.
Mid-October I had a business trip back up to Fairbanks, AK. It was damn cold and even drier. My skin was mummified by the time I returned. Made a good bit of money from overtime though.
Had a very chill Halloween. Hung out with some friends and watched them answer the door in fursuit. Also had some great homemade spiked hot cider.
In current news my temp position is going well. My coworkers are all confident I'll get a permanent position once one of the other techs get his promotion. I've yet to have a official confirmation of this from my boss though. I'm at least still good until end of December though so we'll just have to see how it plays out. That news would be very nice though as I hope to move in with friends up in Renton. Having a permanent position would make that a lot less scary of an idea.
Til next time ^.^

Coming up with RPG Characters
Posted 13 years agoBeen musing about some ideas for characters to play in different games. Came up with an awesome basis for a battle cleric but decided to shelf after coming up with his prayer. I would have just ended up trying to kill the party for some sin or another.
Our Father who weilds an axe,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
in peace as it is in battle.
Give us this day our daily blood,
and never forgive our enemies,
as we have not forgotten them.
And lead us not into destruction,
but deliver us to glory.

Alaska Update
Posted 13 years agoDown to less than two months left up here. Been putting away some good money and aside from buying a tablet been not spending it as well. The bike I bought to get around this summer is out of commission. Tire keept going flat, changed it, popped, changed it again only to continue going flat. Gave up since at this point the wheel had become bent from riding it on low air. So far walking and bumming rides hasn't been bad. I live close to most everyhting I need and what I can't walk to I get when I'm driving during work.
Really looking forward to RF. It's gonna be a fun filled, booze fueled, sexy time! I guess I'll also be retaking my role as stage manager in the theater when sober enough. Last year was huge success for me in terms of new experiences, one I hope to top this year.
It'll be long process catching up with everyone when I get back. Especially after RF as I'll be on the job hunt. But I have a system in place. There are a select few I may hit up in the short time before RF that I arrive in WA. Then at con it'll be a total free for all to see as many people as possible. I also apparently owe Keeko like five dinners somehow. After con visits may or may not be prioritized by amount of alcohol offered.
Missing you all!

Posted 13 years agoSince I know some locals are going.
When are you arriving?
Tuesday night, yeah that's right I'll be three days before the con starts.
Where are you staying?
The Roosevelt
Who are you rooming with?
My coordinator and her fiancee, both unfortunately non-furs.
Will you be cosplaying?
No, I planned on making something but had no time or money.
How can I find you?
Twitter :D or text me if you have my number (local friends only)
Will you be attending/running any panels?
I am a coordinator for the main stage. So I will be involved in some way with most things there.
Do you do art commissions?
No, I can't draw.
Can I take pictures of you?
Sure, but I take pictures back.
Are you attending the raves?
Yup, I'll probably be hovering either around the stage or be backstage somewhere. We're hoping to have a motion tracking booth setup backstage so I'll most likely be looking for someone to dance for the camera.
Can I buy you drinks?
Rather not, I'm still underage til June so I only drink in a controlled environment. Fell free to bring me Mt. Dew or Mellow Yellow though.
Are you Friendly?
Generally, if I've just left the theater after a long show I might be less so.
Can I hug you?
Sure, just be careful I'm usually with my camera and I don't want it broken.
Any other con plans?
Mostly just gonna work the theater and hang out with the fuzzies when I can.

RF Con Report
Posted 14 years agoThursday was pretty average as far as cons go for me. I got out of class at one and drove straight to Seatac and arrived around about two. Got registered (decided to upgrade to patron at reg) and picked up my staff patches then it was right off to theater to help setup. Theater was a light setup this year but we still didn't manage to have everything setup in time and started opening ceremonies late. Not gonna go into why that was so but I will say we will be much better next year. After that hung out with the
FurTheRecord crew in
Tigon and
bloodwiser's room. Got some funny pictures when Bloodwiser tried to mount
silentwolf and got the tables turned on him. After everyone in room got their fill of molesting Bloodwiser I went to the dance and took pics and video for a while then headed home around one in the morning.
Friday I once again made it up around two after class. This was my party day since I had no staff duties. Didn't really do much during the day. Went to swim test at two and for some reason was the only otter there. I passed and made super swimmer or something and got the silly little tag. I also managed to pull Crazy Bob Fox who was running the tests into the pool with me.After that didn't do much until the Otter Party in
RedClawtheOtter's room at seven. Was a nice party, had plenty of snacks (I was one of two otters there that didn't like sushi),
nikolai-slovackskavitch brought in some stuff and DJ'd, and of course the obligatory otter porn slideshow on the tv. I mostly just chatted for a while and took random pictures. Eventually the party moved out into the pool. I would say I swam for an hour but really I only swam for thirty minutes before the other otters found out how twitchy and squeaky I am when you tease and play with me. So I spent the last half an hour being passed about the pool and molested. I also learned you don't want to be in the middle of a raft of otters when they decide to swim over to the deep end and scatter. You tend to get sucked underwater. After that I went up the dance to check out the retro-mix which definitely looked to be a hit. Took a lot of fun video then returned to catch the end of the otter party and talk with some suiters. After that I stopped by 7/11 for a hotdog then got into bed around two.
Saturday was another day of firsts for me and a friend. I spent most of the morning simultaneuosly running the variety show rehersal and playing phone tag between two people to get a friend picked up to come to his first furry con. The initial rehersal didn't go quite so well. It consisted of me going around the convention center announcing that we had rehersals and were in desperite need of acts. By noon when we had to clear out for another event we had two acts lined up, which was no boding well for the actual show that night. So after that my friend arrived and I met him reg to get him all set up. We then spent the next couple hours wandering around the convention along with
-zenith-'s sister who was also new to fur cons. I took the time to pick up a few more things from the dealer's den and helped the converts get their tails and ears. At four I had to leave them and go back for a second variety show rehersal. This time around me and
North managed to round up a few more acts during the day so we had a total of six by five when we went to the guest of honor dinner. This was pretty mellow and quite boring this year since there was no guest roast or anything. But I still had fun and North got me my first drink ever. It was that Scooby Snack that the hotel made up for our convention. Was green, a little fizzy, tasted like pino colada, and burned the back of my throat a bit. It was probably only like a shot's worth of alcohol but was still enough to get me buzzed (sidenote: the state buzzed does not mix well with condition adhd, may limit ability to look at or focus on any one thing to 3-5 seconds). At seven we split back to the theater to prep for the variety show. In the hour before the show the we managed to pick up another two acts for a total of eight or something. The show actually went great dispite not having practiced, which I think I can attribute to North and me having a system from last year. After the variety show I took a quick swim then caught some of the Unsheathed live show. I unfortuantly didn't get a chance to have KM Hirosaki sign my books. I then finally found
oCe and picked up my awesome UV reactive badge. Spent a little time taking video of the dance then hit the sack a little early this night at one.
Sunday I got up and setup the art auction. I almost won a nice acrylic otter painting but had to give up at $200. After that had the scritch and hiss, people of course got hung up on having to voice the same opinion over and over despite being told we'd like to move on to other business. Wandered a bit after that then came back for closing cermonies. Had some problems during the show related to the GoHs which should honestly just be embrassing for the con. Sorted as many of those out as I could but I still had a bad taste in my mouth over it happening. After closing we had the theater struck in about an hour and a half (yay for puny setups?). I then went with North and a bunch of random furs to BJ's and had a good dinner. We came back to the find a official deaddog party but that was quickly shut down after some idiot threw soap in the hottub. Just kind of floated around with Tigon and Bloodwiser til one when I deemed I should drive home since I had work in the morning.
All in all I had more fun this year than I did last year. Which I believe I can attribute to all the awesome people I met and hung out with. That and the miscommunication about what hours I wanted to work helped aswell. Looking forward to next year, we have an amazing crew lined up to run theater. I think we will set the standard for fur con dances along with a few other new things we want to introduce.
FurTheRecord crew in
Tigon and
bloodwiser's room. Got some funny pictures when Bloodwiser tried to mount
silentwolf and got the tables turned on him. After everyone in room got their fill of molesting Bloodwiser I went to the dance and took pics and video for a while then headed home around one in the morning.Friday I once again made it up around two after class. This was my party day since I had no staff duties. Didn't really do much during the day. Went to swim test at two and for some reason was the only otter there. I passed and made super swimmer or something and got the silly little tag. I also managed to pull Crazy Bob Fox who was running the tests into the pool with me.After that didn't do much until the Otter Party in
RedClawtheOtter's room at seven. Was a nice party, had plenty of snacks (I was one of two otters there that didn't like sushi),
nikolai-slovackskavitch brought in some stuff and DJ'd, and of course the obligatory otter porn slideshow on the tv. I mostly just chatted for a while and took random pictures. Eventually the party moved out into the pool. I would say I swam for an hour but really I only swam for thirty minutes before the other otters found out how twitchy and squeaky I am when you tease and play with me. So I spent the last half an hour being passed about the pool and molested. I also learned you don't want to be in the middle of a raft of otters when they decide to swim over to the deep end and scatter. You tend to get sucked underwater. After that I went up the dance to check out the retro-mix which definitely looked to be a hit. Took a lot of fun video then returned to catch the end of the otter party and talk with some suiters. After that I stopped by 7/11 for a hotdog then got into bed around two.Saturday was another day of firsts for me and a friend. I spent most of the morning simultaneuosly running the variety show rehersal and playing phone tag between two people to get a friend picked up to come to his first furry con. The initial rehersal didn't go quite so well. It consisted of me going around the convention center announcing that we had rehersals and were in desperite need of acts. By noon when we had to clear out for another event we had two acts lined up, which was no boding well for the actual show that night. So after that my friend arrived and I met him reg to get him all set up. We then spent the next couple hours wandering around the convention along with
-zenith-'s sister who was also new to fur cons. I took the time to pick up a few more things from the dealer's den and helped the converts get their tails and ears. At four I had to leave them and go back for a second variety show rehersal. This time around me and
North managed to round up a few more acts during the day so we had a total of six by five when we went to the guest of honor dinner. This was pretty mellow and quite boring this year since there was no guest roast or anything. But I still had fun and North got me my first drink ever. It was that Scooby Snack that the hotel made up for our convention. Was green, a little fizzy, tasted like pino colada, and burned the back of my throat a bit. It was probably only like a shot's worth of alcohol but was still enough to get me buzzed (sidenote: the state buzzed does not mix well with condition adhd, may limit ability to look at or focus on any one thing to 3-5 seconds). At seven we split back to the theater to prep for the variety show. In the hour before the show the we managed to pick up another two acts for a total of eight or something. The show actually went great dispite not having practiced, which I think I can attribute to North and me having a system from last year.
