So, I'm back...kinda...barely....Just wanted to state that I am still alive, barely

My good friend  rosekitten is going to FCN and needs a roommate! She'll be there with her boyfriend and is looking for a drama and party free room as its her first con. They are monogamous, and if you're being a creeper I will stab you...

GBS has a song "Jolly Roving Tar"
I want to see it instead about a furry and called "Jolly Roving Taur"

As TRL is slow to ship on saturdays anyway, I'm going to extend discounts through tonight at midnight.
However, I will be largely unreachable via the internet. If you need to place an order, I recommend calling my direct line:
(775) 77-FURRY

c'mon, guys!
Name your price and colors and I will make it happen for you in a beautiful and surprisingly awesome way!

I'm still offering huge discounts on my chainmaille: Thusfar, I've sold two items, both at $20 when normally $35 would be charged. Please keep sending me your demands, I will make your christmas chainmaille dreams come true.

Ok, so for those who don't know, I really could do with money. I haven't worked for a reliable paycheck in almost a year and my funds are running dangerously low.
I will take pretty much any offer you provide as long as it gives me some profit. Please, furnish your christmas list by buying from me. Until Friday I will take commissions as far as 60% off, each on a case by case basis. Additionally, for the two people I owe products to, they will be shipped ASAP, either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Go there and check it out

Also, I'm going to be offering a Black Friday Sale of my own, on Thursday I'll post the prices

---

Um...I hate to say this, but as I'm unemployed, unless I get a sugar daddy who wants to pay for my expenses for MFF, I'm going to have to pass this year.

sorry, I will send stuff with a friend of people want to preorder from me, but I can't come :(

[Edit: Sugar Daddy acquired]

Prospective Dealers:
We have increased the size of the dealers den for IFC. If you are interested in potentially being part of the IFC 2011 Den, please respond here and as soon as the new registration opens, I will shoot you either a note or an email with the appropriate link. Please share this with all who might be interested.

[EDIT] This is only for prospective dealers...if you have already signed up for the den, you needn't worry.

A friend of mine [details withheld from the creepy] is getting married in North East Ohio on Halloween weekend. Do you DJ in real life? Do you know anyone who DJs in real life near that region?
Please get back to me ASAP. They are not looking for free, however less expensive is certainly better.

Hey y'all. I have decided once and for all that I am sick of choosing "Mammals / Other" As my species. FA should have a cow tab!!! I WANT A FREAKING COW TAB! So, I am making free icons for everyone who posts the following in a journal, and titles it something that will make people read it and spread it around.

"Furaffinity needs a Bovine species tab for the cow/bull furs! :3
Comment on ship-wreck ship-wreck 's journal here - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1721391/ saying that you support the idea, and make a journal like this one spreading the word! (Make sure to also link your journal to her! And don't forget your character reference!) You do that, and Shippy will make you a free little icon!"

You can either copy paste that text, or type up your own. Either way, comment on this journal with your support and journal (and don't forget your reference!), and help us cow furries get our own tab! CAUSE WE ARE MORE THAN JUST MAMMALS/OTHER! <3 Thanks y'all. I will be working on icons one at a time, so just give me some time to get them out, kay?

~The Purple Cow, Shippy

Yeah, to those of you who haven't noticed or heard, I joined second life under the name Ted Graymark. Thusfar, I have one furry friend on SL, and I'm looking for more of my furiends from FA to hang with when I'm in SL.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for decent free furry avatars, I'm looking for something good. I still haven't found a free grizzly bear avatar, and if anyone can find me a decent one for free (or if you buy it for me) I will make you a bracelet!
again, second life name is Ted Graymark

Ok, we're a little crazy, but as our theme is already announced (IndyFurCon And The Furries of the Lost Ark) we are accepting conbook submissions. One idea that we would like to see is a two-page spread for our staff page as characters from Indiana Jones. Yes, this does mean we're using you for free character art, on the other hand it means you get a free two page advertisement in the hands of every furry at IFC (unless we run out of conbooks again)
Rules:
PG-13, we do mean every furry, which includes a complete wedding party, for those who haven't heard.
Conbook friendly: This means it will be printed in gray-scale, so don't do elaborate color work. Line art is acceptable, and we will be voting on submissions to the con-book at FCN, so that becomes the submission deadline.
Submit all conbook submissions to secretary[at]indyfurcon.com

[edit] Here are the links to all of our staff members:
 NightProwler Conchair
 roxas VP/Head of programming
 drittauge PR Director
 csyria Head tech programmer
 eleete Treasurer
huh, I don't have anyone else from IFC staff, but if they comment, I will add them!

I've been staff at IFC, and as such have been in a hole in the ground for the last month, hiding from furries. I'm glad that everyone had a good time, I finally got my restocking order 2 days before the convention, so I'm sending stuff out ASAP. Additionally, Sales are back open again and I'm more than willing to discuss prices on my AIM or yahoo accounts. Just contact me :P

friend of mine needs people to fill out a survey for him:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DBSP92W

[Repost, not sure why only two people noticed this before]
Ok, so, for those of you who haven't heard, I'm staff for IFC...duh
This means, at IFC, I will be unable to make chainmaille, my first con in over two years where that's true. Instead, Ursine Necessities will have two of its apprentices making maille. But, they still need a little bit of training, and I'm willing to take a huge hit so that they can get up to par:
Every piece of chainmaille you have seen me sell in the past is now 50% off, except for glow in the dark rings which are only 25% off (highest discount I can give without straight up losing money)

What this means:
Half-Persian 4-1 Bracelets: $5, or $9.25 for glow in the dark (normally $10 or $15)
Euro 6-1 Bracelets: $5 or $12.50 for glow in the dark
Viperscale or Full Persian 6-1 bracelets, starting at $10

Collars in HP 4-1 or Euro 6-1, starting at $10, $20 for Viperscale or Full Persian
Nutsacks and badges from $30

No, I am not discounting shipping...I'm not apprenticing the USPS.

EDIT: Before I get a bunch of people pissed off, I seriously wasn't planning on offering this discount until about 10 AM this morning.

Currently, for AC, I need to finish two collars which will take me maybe one day.
 blondevelvet18 remake of old collar for trade
 asche_arschi trade for ted teddy bear.

Anyone else want to preorder? Preorder now for AC pickup, no S&H costs and save 10% on all products.
Additionally, I'm still waiting on nutsack advertisements, I've currently only got one: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3910558
Reminder, if more are posted, more prizes will be given out for the advertisers.

Ok, I'm still unemployed and as such can barely afford to attend AC at the moment. More accurately, I have no bank account currently linked to my paypal so I can't get prereg at the moment. Also, I owe a few more bills, including needing to restock before AC, so I'm offering the following:

Until 3 PM today, any comments here for maille, if you can pay via paypal before midnight, get you 50% off any necklace, collar, etc. purchase. Additionally, due to their already decreased prices, you can get 30% off any badge or nutsack order.
Between 3 PM and 10 PM, these percentages become 25% and 15%, respectively. Order now, order quickly, help me get to AC!

Ok, well, in chronological order:
Military Discounts are available, effective immediately: 10% off for all military personnel with military ID.
World Steam Expo is next weekend: come, I'm in the alley.
Also, effective immediately, Contest running for the next 4 weeks (concludes Tuesday before AC at midnight): My nutsacks are now being endorsed by  Mystee The finest advert for this product (including a line akin to "'cause everyfur needs somewhere to keep their nuts") in my opinion will get a free nutsack in the colors of their choice. If more than 3 ads are made, second place scores a $20 gift certificate (or credit, or coupon code...) to Ursine Necessities. Adverts can be full size, badge size, or pricetag size, can be up to PG-13 (be suggestive, not dirty) and in any 2d media you like (so I can use them at cons in the artist alley)
Finally AC: watch Tedursus on Twitter for updates throughout the con, I will be offering special deals.

I've decided I'm going to do a minor site redesign to UrsineNecessities.com
For those of you unfamiliar, go get acquainted now and return. However, over the summer my new project is to turn it into a work of fiction. Not in that I want my website to be fictitious, but rather in that I want to draw people in with an enchanting story. Last night, while speaking to Jewel, he suggested I detail the journeys of Ted Ursus, collecting weaves from the world over. As weaves accumulate, so will the stories, each detailing a beautiful and heart-felt message. Expect updates weekly starting on Monday the 17th in a new section of the site called Bear's Blog

ok, I still owe some commissions from around FCN, I will do them...then!
