Late post, but it has to be done.

Further Confusion, again, surprised me in it's ability to entertain. This year was particularly interesting in the extra items I was involved with.

As usual, one theme prevailed. There was NEVER enough time to do everything. While there were idle times to walk around and have fun, it seemed that all the key times (like Saturday, for instance) were so jam packed that I had to pick and choose what I went to and what I didn't. I am very sad to say I missed out on some incredible people and events due to this (including Selkit and Chaos wolf's engagement party.. I'm so so sorry :( )

First off, it was quite interesting meeting up with people on Saturday night for our first annual "Furry Looner" get together. Those who don't know the term looner can probably easily find it on google. In any case, it was neat meeting others into it when I used to think I was the only one!

Second, anyone who attended FC probably saw or at least heard about our Pirate skit. Amran came to me in the summer sometime and suggested that we should redo the pirate skit that we did so successfully at Rainfurrest. I couldn't see why not, and gladly agreed to be part of it. We amassed others including WhitePaws, North, and Madius (Squeaky), setting out to finish our recruit at FC itself since nobody seemed keen on committing and we had some troubles deciding a story.

Once the con came around, we quickly grew our numbers as people we had talked to started to show interest in helping. So many, in fact, that a suggestion of incorporating the asian theme of the con into the skit was now possible; Pirates vs Ninjas!

In the end, we had our dashing pirate crew of Captain Amran the foxcat, Beef Jerky the husky, WhitePaws the husky puppy, Markus the fox, Aphinity the drunk dolphin, Squeaky the rat, and Babs. The Ninjas were headed by the masterful Ninja North the thieving Great Dane puppy, followed by Nitro the German Shepherd, Spark the foxwolf, Treevor the black Labrador, and Rennie the fox. A great cast indeed!



Though I missed much of the con doing so, North, Amran, and myself spent a great deal of time (and one very late night) writing a complete script and planning and running rehersals. They went well with some exceptions, the largest of which being COMMUNICATION! It's the LAST time I go to a con without a US cel phone! $1.73 a minute just doesn't cut it when trying to reach people. Well, and there was one more exception, but nothing we couldn't work out.

The show itself was received EXTREMELY well! I was blown away at the applause we got, and the chanting for 'pirates' and 'ninjas' afterwards to match with the usual ninjas chant (meant to encourage stage ninjas). It was a high I still haven't lived down, and I'll never forget it.

The rest of the con? In brief... great friends, great fursuiting, and another reminder that, indeed, it IS possible to still enjoy life after the year I had last year. Jeeze, I sure needed that reminder!

FC 2009, how I anticipate thee :)

Hi everyone!

An empty journal is a sad journal, so I guess it's about time I post something here. I have to warn everyone; my posts here will likely be few and far between.

What's going on with me? Nothing to speak of really. I recently got back from Further Confusion 2007 with a whole whackload of people from the Vancouver area. JEEZE did I have fun! Anyone who is on the fence on whether to attend this furry con needs to know just how amazing of a time I had there as a newcomer. Dancing, fursuiting, friends, food, partying, the artists, merchandise, and even the trip there and back were all highlights for me. Orka and Trapa get special thanks for everything they did for me, but really, I should be thanking everyone who I spent time with, and that list is just too long to list (or remember.. hehe).

I'm sitting here at work at the end of a long day, figuring out exactly what it is they have me doing here. I'm apparently in sales.. officially.. but really, I wind up doing most of the technical stuff at the office here and direct the genius of a technical guy that we hired a few months back to help me out and maintain the servers. We'll see how it goes. Looks like I"ll be helping out with some promo contests and stuff too so I might be getting some trips to future events and stuff. Jack of all trades might be the best word for me at this point.

I really don't know what else to say, so I'm just not going to. Time to download 2 sense so I can listen on the way home. Bai!
