Why do I keep working on music stuff if nobody appreciates it? Why do I bother?

After 8 months of battle against an advanced pancreatic cancer, combined with diabetes, my dad passed away early yesterday. I'm going to miss him ;__;

Important things to note:

- The comic is gorgeous (i had the original Spanish version).
- There's nifty bonus content!
- FRANKO AND/OR SHIN PLUSHIES!

But wait, there's more! If the $10000 goal is reached, there'll be a hardcover edition!

Help this project become a reality ♥

Reposted (and edited) from a comment I posted in a submission...

When submitting pictures, if the file is too big in dimensions (namely more then 1280 pixels wide and/or high) the picture is resized, right?
Well, with the resizing the following information is lost:
- Rotation
- EXIF information (camera used, aperture, etc etc)

When submitting photos, I recommend resizing them manually to a height (or width, depending on the case) of maximum 1280 pixels, AND THEN uploading them.

May all of you have a wonderful Christmas Eve with your family / friends / whoever you spend it with.
May it be an awesome celebration, with lots of presents :D

Some bastard stole  jinxtailchaser's fursuit this Sunday from his car.
If someone sees it being worn or discarded around the area, please notify him (or the police)

I installed Telegram as soon as it was announced (when it was in Beta), but for some reason I stopped using it.
But now that some friends are starting to use only that instead of, let's say, skype... I "decided" to use it again :D

@wannytiggah :D

I'm writing this journal the night before having to take the plane back to Chile. Because, who knows what might happen.

The three weeks I was in the US were amazing, meeting new people, going places, etc.


First, I spent one week and a half at  runningred's place. We went to many places near Portland (ME): Old Port, Maine Wildlife Park, York's Wild Kingdom, etc. We also went hiking to many places: Part of Mount Agamenticus, Douglas Mountain, Pleasant Mountain... I'll be always grateful of him and his housemate for always having ideas of places to go (including a visit to Buffalo Wild Wings, where I bought a particular set of wings I couldn't finish for being TOO spicy for me). If I start trying to remember everything I'll never stop writing.
And I got my new laptop! That told me a lesson: NEVER AGAIN trust Amazon and their availability, seriously this is the very first time I'm so disappointed by their service. I ended buying it at B&H and I had an awesome experience with them.


Then, it came the trip to AC.  staggard drove from her house to RunningRed's so we could choose which car would be better for us (in terms of space). After trying to fit our luggage in Tag's car and realizing it wouldn't do, we used RunningRed's car and all was fine. Then, we had to go as quickly as possible to NYC to pick up  deejaydragon, who was going to arrive from UK.
Long story short, we ended taking more time than expected, and poor DeeJay had to wait for us for more time than expected in the NYC airport. Also, there was a horrible weather that I don't want to experience again: extreme heat and humidity, plus rain!.
We stayed at an inn (after discarding one we almost stayed at, there was something shady about it we didn't like) and the following day we continued our trip... after going for breakfast and buying stuff for AC.


(for the AC part check previous journals)


After AC i took a plane to San Jose (CA) to visit  sdwolf, arriving on Monday night after a couple of delays and gate changes. Extremely disappointed with United Airlines, they didn't compensate us with anything about the big delays (not even a courtesy snack or something). And the in-flight entertainment was a paid DirecTV service, ugh.
The first couple of days (tue. and wed.) I rested and stayed at home after having so little rest the previous days.
On Thursday, Shadow's mate (Steele) took me around the San Jose downtown to know the convention center where FC is held, and the Museum of Innovation (it's more for kids but interesting anyways). After that, he took me to Wicked Chicken... where there was some local furs. Then, more and more kept coming until there was a big group of furries hanging around, even some wearing fursuits! I had been warned that this meeting occurs every single Thursday of the year. There I met a lot of new people (exchanging twitter/FA accounts and all of that), noticing that the furs around this area really like to hang out together
Yesterday (friday) we went early to the Museum of Computer History... WOW, I took lots of pictures as I was drooling from what I was seeing. Then, we met Shadow for "lunch" and after that we went to the Winchester Mystery house and took the tour... it's a shame they don't allow taking photos and the superspeedtalkingguide didn't help much :P
And today... we went to Furries in the Wild, an annual meeting of local furs at the Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland (CA). There was food, music, good company... and fursuits! I never imagined I'd see people wearing suits in a BBQ setting (you know, with dirt, leaves and all that). I saw people I had met previously on thursday and met new people as well, having a great time... but the real surprise was to see  zhivagod and  majestysabertoof again! (I had resigned to not see them again until next time, after saying byebye post AC). After FITW we went to a bowling place in Fremont... it was Furbowl time! We spent more time hanging out outside while waiting for the league (that was being played by other people) to finish than in the bowling itself, but it was fun to see anyways.


*Fun fact: I took more photos today at FITW than all the AC days combined.



I want to explicitly thank:

- RunningRed: For always having ideas of what to do and where to go, for helping me with the B&H people on the phone, and for driving me around even though he mentioned he doesn't like driving that much ^^;
- Steele (SDWolf's mate): For being patient with me and driving me around even though he wasn't my direct host (it's SDWolf, but he isn't taking days off to entertain me) and for taking me in a hurry to Fry's before closing. Mad props to his speed driving skills.

To all the people involved: thanks for making this 3 weeks an incredible time. Hope to come back a next time, don't know when will that be.

Idea borrowed from  stormwolff. Basically, stuff pending to get done at some point.

1. Conventions you want to attend?
- Further Confusion (FC)
- Biggest Little FurCon (BLFC)
- mmm.. EuroFurence?

2. Popular artists you want to commission?
(In no order of preference) BEHOLD:
-  rajii
-  tanidareal
-  zeta-haru
-  peritian
-  chibi-marrow
-  patto
-  keihound
-  casparr
-  hufnaar
... and MORE.


3. Would you ever want to wear a fursuit of your character and who would you want to make it?
I'm slowly and gradually being tempted to get a fursuit... but if I do, it'd be a partial one. In no way it'd be a full one.
About makers, mmm, I have many alternatives that come to mind: Mixedcandy, Radpandas, FirestormSix... it'd depend mostly on the final price :P

4. Any other things you'd want to do in the fandom?
Not sure, actually. Hang out more?

5. Who do you want to tag to have them make their own Furry Bucket List?
Because why not:
 estobhan (question #3 won't be applicable to him for obvious reasons)
 srfx18
 deejaydragon
 runningred

When I was doing the AC recap I noticed that most of the highlights were "negative" things so I must choose wisely the stuff I do/go to at the next con I go...

- Take more photos. This AC I took much less photos than expected.
-- (addendum) take more photos with suiters. I missed the chance of taking photos with  aolun,  taurinfox,  tanidareal, etc.

- omit the Art Show entirely. The events related to it took much time I rather would've spent in other activities. As an alternative I may ask someone to proxy bid for me...

- actually choose the events I want to go at the con and mark them accordingly. At AC I missed all concerts and the dance competition finals :(

- hang out with more different people by talking, going to eat, etc. I'm regretting not going to the dinner with the Mexican furs :(

[To be updated]

Whew, it was a blast!

For starters, this was quite different for the activities I was in... this time mostly checking the Art Show and hanging out with friends. Because of that, I missed the opening and ending ceremonies, THE CONCERTS (I wanted to go to Fox Amoore's. At least I bought 3 of his CDs), the dance competition... but I had a lot of fun anyways.

Let's see, highlights I'm remembering as I write:

- First of all, we ( runningred,  deejaydragon,  staggard and me) were supposed to arrive early on thursday, but for different reasons we ended arriving at 7PM =/

- I was pretty confident that  senkolke's flag photoshoot was on Friday... nope, it was set to be on Thursday. He then said that since many people got confused a 2nd photoshoot would take place on Friday. Well, it ended being only him, me and another Chilean fur... what happened to the rest of the people, only God knows.

- That night I went to the game room and played some games, particularly Project Diva and DDR. As a result of the latter, the next day I woke up with a (not painful but annoying) blister on a toe that kept haunting me all day.

- On Saturday was the fursuit parade. This time was different... for the very first time in the history of US conventions it went outside to the street. It was awesome to see and hear all the non-con-attending people and kids cheering and High-Five-ing the fursuiters. Sadly for the fursuiters, the day was sunny, so the street part was quite challenging...

- Then I went with DeeJay and Staggard to a dinner with some other artists to one of the nearby pizza places. There I met particularly  zhivagod... oh God what a nice person, big props to her.

- Sunday was a frantic day:
-- First, go to Mass with  wolffriend and other furs
-- Then, return to the Art Show to defend my bids.
-- Then, check the Dealers Room for some last minute shopping
-- Then, go to the voice auction to try to get the stuff I wanted that went to it. Got nothing, but as a consolation prize the guy that wanted a piece I also wanted ended spending much more than he expected XD. But it was a waste of time anyways, I could've watched the Dance Competition finals instead...
-- Then, pick the stuff that Staggard was taking care of for me at her table and return to our room
-- Then, get an out-of-artshow piece that nobody had bidden to.
-- Then, crash at the room and rest. When I noticed, it was 8pm already xD


*** I had an awesome time with  estobhan,  wolffriend and  braniff taking photos with them in their suits :D
*** I finally met  senkolke at the 2nd try of the flag photoshoot. Then I kept meeting him at different places during the con xD

*** I expected to go to at least one room party, had none. I'll have to figure out what to do with the booze i brought xD

Self promise: for next time, less Art Show and more other activities. Hope to not break it .__.

I'm comfortably lodged at the Westin, with  runningred,  deejaydragon and  staggard
Not doing anything in particular tonight since we had a long time... PORTLAND (ME)-NEW YORK-PITTSBURGH

Tomorrow will be a different day!

I need to refresh mine since I got FOUR of mine stolen (along with my backpack) last July .__.
