Well, another year has come and gone. It seems like it goes by quick but a lot always seems to happen when I stop and think about it.

First things first, MFF 2024 is always my favorite week of the year. I have met a lot of great people over the 9 years I have been attending. Each year is unique in it's own way. This time around was no exception. I have been going since 2015 and I have always landed a room in the main Hyatt hotel in some capacity. I was perfect on my lottery until this year. Unfortunately, that streak came to an end. But no matter! I had a back up in the Embassy Suites which actually turned out to work better. Larger room for 5 people and closer to the convention center. Pricier, but worth the cost. I always love seeing and hanging with my buddies.  blyzzarde  badgerben and  mih4nn to name a small few. The artist alley was in a much better spot and I had no problem getting the Dealer's Den. Things just seemed to be more efficient. I did bring out the guitar for this year. Didn't use it a lot, but if you saw a blue wolf walking around on Saturday with it, that was me. Every year I tend to prioritize different aspects of the con. I rarely go to panels anymore. It is more focused around the camaraderie, the roommate hang outs, Alley and Den shopping, art jams, and suiting. There's a lot to do, so it is hard to be everywhere. But I loved it. I hate leaving, but I am looking forward to next year!

Life in general has been up and down. Work gets busy sometimes and it kills motivation to do other things. I have been trying to stay consistent in the gym this last year, which has faltered from time to time, but I am happy I am not completely neglecting it. This year was big on concerts. I went out of town for two of them and did some exploring of Minneapolis and Denver. Even got a tattoo of my favorite blue vixen, Krystal! I love it, but god damn did it hurt. My biggest win of the year is my little dog. He's been through a few cancer treatments going back to 2023. For 13.5 years old, he is still doing great. He is a tough little corgi. He's definitely beaten the odds. His health is the best Christmas gift I could have asked for. I cherish every moment I have with him.

Of course as a musician, I try to work on new things, but motivation comes and goes. I have ideas and projects I want to keep doing. Maybe someday I'll open for some short chiptune commissions. Just need to gain some confidence.


For anyone interested, I made a Tiktok and Instagram for my dog, Charlie. He's a little corgi mix and deserves all the loves in his senior years. He's 13.5 years old. He's been through a lot of shit.
