Hey all, I just wanted to fill you guys in briefly on what I've been up to in the fandom.

In May I went to Furlandia in Portland, Oregon, to keep up the streak since I've been there all three years and stuff. L

Like last year I volunteered, sticking it out in the Gaming department, which is honestly exactly where I wanted to be anyways. While everyone else is playing and having fun I got to play lots of epic board games, which was neato. Some of the games I ended up playing were Nordgard, Ticket to Ride, Room Party (with the Furry Expansion), and others which I can't remember because it's been too long. During this time I got to hang out with a few friends, and meet a few too: Chase Foxy was my boss, ROFLkitten and her beau Cy the shark were cool.

I also ended up getting recruited last-minute for running the Christian Furs panel at Con, with my co-panelist Jarl. There were about 13-15 furs there, and since it was Pentacost Sunday we talked about that and about Christian unity. It was a fun thing to meet so many good, Christian furs, including folks like  WinterBeast and  HeavenSteed. We ended up getting a bunch of names and contact info down, so I'm going to be organizing those folks into a Christian Furry group here in Portland. I should have done it sooner, so God forgive me, but by Golly it's gonna happen soon. I'm hoping that next year a few Catholic Furs will poke in too. It's hard to be lonely among on-fire Christians, but boy I'd like to go to Mass with a fur or two next year.

I also went to a few fun panels: The Disney Robin Hood movie, which was epic, and  Vesk's science panel. Strangely enough, the Science panel got scheduled directly after the Christian Furry panel, in the same room. Vesk and I had a laugh that it seemed almost like a set up. I think Vesk is a pretty awesome dude though. He let me touch Deoxyribonucleic Acid, which was fun. :)

The rest of the con went swimmingly. The folks at Furlandia are very chill and pretty funny. Halfway through the Con the entire staff started to speak with Minnesotan accents just for fun, which got a laugh from more than a few people.

God bless you all!
