So we went out during Halloween to go fursuiting in Lawrence, KS with several of the KC Furs. A couple of folks used my cameras during the event and footage turned out great. I still need to upload the pics and will have those soon as well. For now here's the video clips we took from Massachusetts St in Lawrence, KS for Halloween:

So the drive down was pretty painless. 11PM, left the station on Wednesday night and got to the hotel at 9AM. Did the usual Thursday morning Cracker Barrel Breakfast pre-con.

When we arrived to the hotel, they let us into the room pretty quick and and we crashed out till about 1 PM, then it was time for a late lunch/early dinner at Red Lobster with Hikaru, Subby, Kellogg, and a couple of Hikaru's friends. It was all you can eat shrimp night so we came back stuffed and I wasn't really up for suiting that night because of it. After just hanging out, I crashed about midnight and then was up for a snack at the con suite when it opened.

On Friday, I ended up suiting for a good chunk of the morning, got my fursuit badge and then Subby and I left to go have a quick dinner with my Sis and family before my DJ set. When I got back, it was setup, prep and then after Isfacat's show, played my set till 12:30. I did a dubstep and then Drum and Bass set. For next year we may throw in more DJs and mix it up a bit more. Overall the set went well and I have video to work on with it now. Ended up hanging out with Subby, Kellogg, Lucky, and Malo until early morning since everyone else was crashed out already.

On Sat, slept in a little, then grabbed a quick lunch at Applebee's with Yukon, Podamy, Malo, Subby and Lucky. After lunch, ran around the dealers den and got some art. I came back down in suit a little to get some pics with one of the artists I ended up commissioning. Then Kellogg, Subby and I went off to Beale St for some fun. Got pics of them in front of a giant blue cock (rooster ;) ) and then hit up wet willies and an irish pub for drinks and food. Once we got back, ended up having a bit to drink and ran around late doing some drunken suiting for fun before going to pass out.

Got up Sunday and Subby and I went over to my families for some lunch. After we got back, just hung out until dinner time where we found this awesome sushi place and had a blast. Tried to make a ghetto booze run on Sun, but it didn't happen, so we just came on back and chilled that night. Had fun suiting one last night before the con was over. Also stuffed Podamy into one of my suits and he had an absolute blast.

Monday, said our goodbyes and left out. The drive was pretty painless except for the nasty cold I came down with just before. I got in and am just recovering now.

So thats pretty much the con report.

The good: Chilling with friends and having fun.

The bad: Caught a cold from visiting my relatives and have sorta con crud now.

Well the Escalade if loaded up and I'm just waiting on our final passenger and caravan to arrive. Should have had more sleep, but I'm too excited.

Friday night - Club Twizzted Tail at 10 PM I'll be spinning a Drum and Bass Set this year so come check it out.

I'll have my netbook during the con and be able to check a few things online, so if you want to contact me while there, either find me or PM me and I can get my cell over to ya.

For those arriving Thursday and not getting in too late, I plan on doing a caravan down to Beale St. for some bar hopping in one of the more famous areas of Memphis TN. If you haven't been before, it's almost like the French Quarter in some ways without the smell of NO. Good times, likely do dinner at BB Kings Blues Cafe and then hit a couple more bars before heading back to the con.

I'll be suiting mostly in my husky, but I did decide to break out the good ole' Stanton Coyote this year.

This year's gonna be a blast, see all of ya there that are making it out :)

Pre-registration for Wild Nights 2010 opened this weekend.

http://www.wildnights.org for more details :)

Planning is already under way for this coming year and we have a lot of exciting events in the works, so stay tuned. We will have both Crys the Hybrid as well as Tzup this year for our two GOHs. I look forward seeing the very talented Crys the Hybrid, as well as our silly suiter friend Tzup being a riot as usual.

Last year was a blast and I hope to see you all there again this coming year.

PS: Oh, and I think Draconis has something up his sleeve for Tzup, but I just can't put my paw on it yet... Let the fun start.

Looks like we are going to plan a nice outing for suiting here in KC. Most likely date will be July 18th. My friend wolfwings decided to test the waters and found a really good place to go for suiting. Check this out:

For any of those interested, we could always provide crash space for someone out of town that wanted to join in. Just let me know if you are so we can work out the details.

So some friends of mine and I were talking about a rule set to keep out of trouble when sex is involved. Here's the basic rules:

1. Don't stick your dick in crazy.
2. Don't stick your dick in emo.
3. Don't stick your dick in underage.
4. Don't stick your dick in coworkers.
5. Don't stick your dick in Bro Ho's.
6. Don't stick your dick in Bro's moms.
7. Don't stick your dick in random one night standers.
8. Don't stick your dick in fanbois.
9. Don't stick your dick in dirty whores.
10. Don't stick your dick where it doesn't belong period.

And these are the 10 commandments of don't stick your dick.

Well we did it. Another great event, another great con. This years Wild Nights was a success. There were a few things with the events that we can work on for next year, but overall, it went very well. The Who's Paw is this Anyways event was a lot of fun, along with a entertaining variety show this year. The Dances, some of the outdoor games, and wandering around the local town and park in suit made it a very fun con.

The food and kitchen staff made some wonderful meals and kept everyone very well fed the entire con. Heros and his volunteers kept things moving with the AV gear, setup, and made our sound stage light up. The volunteers for the campfire kept it going and brought a few fun additions to light things up more.

Our staff that kept things safe with first aid, security, picking up the grounds and areas around the park and handling reg were vital to this event.

So lets keep things going and have another wonderful event next year.

Stats -

around 60 con goers this year
We raised over 700 for our charity "Safaris Sanctuary"

To those that didn't make it, we look forward to seeing you next year and having a blast :)

So I'm helping out with the con Wild Nights this years (www.wildnights.org). Planning has been a bit short since the Missouri park system decided to postpone, then turn down the application to the parks. Instead it's going to be in Oklahoma at Robbers Cave State Park. Missouri's loss, Oklahoma's gain is my thoughts on it.

Its only a month and a half away, but the events planning is going well and it should be a total blast this year. That and OMG cheap. It's only $40 with reg online which covers lodging and food. Just have to drive on out and everythings taken care of. So if you know of folks that are looking for a small con/campout this year, mention Wild Nights to them. Even if things end up small this year, it will be a good group of fur friends to hang with and enjoy the out doors. Also, keep in mind, you don't need camping gear, they have cabins and bunks. Just need some blankets and you are good to go. Check out the site (which is still a little bit of a work in progress) and give it some thought. April 23rd-27th. Oh and there will be loads of fun for fellow fursuiters as well. I can promise that as I am planning out some good events for fursuiters.

So RJ and I went out shooting my AR-15 today. He had fun and I think we have another furry into gun sports now :P

But on to the shopping, this is all I have to say...

So on the way back from having entirely too much steak at the buffet (mmm many plates of nearly raw meat), we came up with the idea of going to the luqour store. While going through some various things, both evilandy and myself landed over at the scotch isle and decided to go in on a bottle of scotch.

Tonights treat was 21 year old Glenlivet special reserve scotch. At 120 a bottle, it has a smooth taste, with an almost caramel aftertone/sweetness to it. Very nice stuff. I got the scotch, he got the rest of tonights booze for when we are sipping slowly at the glass of scotch. We also came up with a drinking game. Watch reruns if House, and when anyone gets intibated, heart stops, seizes, needs a crash cart or some random organ fails, take a drink. You could also drink each time he makes a sexual comment towards Cuddy.

Well anyways back to the party...

So MFF '08 came and went. It was awesome.

Heres some highlights:

On the trip up, I picked up Nat Sherman Fantasias for smokes before the con. The super gay ones and then rounded up a couple of pink lighters so the elliotbunny and I could have smokes on the way up. The we watched a couple of movies, listened to music and had a good time driving to the con. Val woke up towards the end up it and we just chatted the rest of the way in.

Thursday:

So once at the con, I met up with Bradhound, grabbed a room key and then proceeded to haul gear inside. Afterwards, it was time for dinner and fursuiting some. So I went to reg and hung out there for a bit since I had a transferred one from the year before due to health reasons. Hung out with Subbycoon and Elliotbunny and Val some as well. After that, some sleep and then on to Friday.

Friday:

Picked up Booze. Had good food and partied. I went to the Friday night dance for a little bit and just spent most of the time hanging out with friends. MFF is one of those big social cons for me.

Saturday:

After food and friends, I setup that evening for the DJ gig and then went and got in my husky as a partial before my set. Once I was up, I played about a 55 min set that evening and had an awesome time. Then tear down, loading gear in the van and hanging out more. I think I went to sleep about 5 or 6 AM. One of the highlights was finding robodobie wandering around with others looking for something to do and then he stretched out over all of us on the hotel couch and went to sleep. Yay for lap dogs :P

Sunday:

More Food and hanging out. Then the party that night. Wow. It was awesome. I ended up going to the party in suit and had a few drinks. Then a few more.... and husky was his normal friendly self as usual :P It was a good time over all and its times like that which make you thankful for the friends, the parties, and all the fun there is to be had at cons.

Monday:

Breakfast, packing, and saying goodbyes. The usual. Then we slept most of the way back. Thanks to the bunny for being our trusty driver. Much appreciated :)

MFF has always been a very social con for me and one of the best ones to go to. This one was no exception to that at all. I look forward to MFF '09 next year and will see all my friends there again. To all those I met, hung out with, and had a fun con with, thanks for the good times and hope to hear from you all over the year as well :)

Fursuits - Check
DJ gear and set for Sat - Check
Cameras - Check
Clothes - working on it

Almost there with prep for MFF. This year should be good and I'm really excited as well since I didn't get to go last year. I'll be getting there Thursday, so I'll see everyone there when I make it in :)

OK, so I am participating with some friends in a team for the "Crawl-For-Cancer" which is a pub crawl to raise money for cancer here in KC. I didn't realize what I got myself into though. After reading the finer details of the crawl (mind you we each donated $50 to participate in a team of 10), I now know what it involves. As the rules state, each bar gives your team of 10, 4 pitchers of beer to split. Then you move onto the next bar, rinse and repeat... I just realized there are 18 participating bars in this, which means 72 total pitchers of beer of which each person will have 7.2 pitchers each. So when you do the math, thats 72 pitchers times 64 oz for a total of 4608 oz of beer for your team. If divided evenly, thats 460 oz of beer each (lose one to head and pour). Which equates to 38 x 12oz long necks or 28 pints of beer each. Holy Shit batman! That is a lot of beer. I am guessing that noone actually hits all of the bars, or at least I hope my team doesn't. After the boozing up all afternoon, there is an after party to drink free beer as well. Wow! Wish me luck...

EDIT: Ok, so the numbers are in. They apparently limit your teams to 4 pitchers of beer per bar and 5 bars total. Part of my team was off somewhere else so 8 of us finished 20 pitchers. Then the main tent had all the free beer you could stomach after. Only 4 pitchers to myself and a cab ride home, but all in good support of a fundraiser. Now to find food, more water and fetch my car since this hangover is almost gone...

Wow, MFM. Let's just say, this one topped the last two years combined and then added the whip cream and cherry without even asking for it.

So here's a short list of adventures/misadventures.

( Rest of the story behind cut. )

OK, just an update posting from work. I'll be off to MFM soon. Just after the work day today, I'll drive into Memphis for the con. I look forward to hanging out with all of my friends there and check out the dance Sunday night. I should be going on about 11 PM that night :) Hit me up for some free glowsticks if I have any left and you want some.

For all my friends that will be there, lets totally rock out this con :)

One advantage is that on the shift I am on, there aren't people around to be nosy. The major disadvantage is I feel so disconnected at times with some friends and miss out on activities that I otherwise would be able to do.

On the up side, pay is good and I can make it with the best of them till bar close :P I went and say DJ Hatcha last night at the Crosstown Station and it was awesome. Met up with a friend from work and had a blast. The best way I can describe it is, the vibration from the bass was so badass it felt like my balls where being bounced around while sitting down. and the pressure from the low hits is just heart pounding. I needed that :P The only thing that got to me was backspinning records. OMG stop doing that like every 10-15 mins. SJs shouldn't backspin crap so the groove dies, the crowd goes into this WF is up and the MC has to come shout out to keep things moving... just give the MC some breaks from time to time and it's all good. Other than that, a good show indeed.

Outside of that, dinner with a couple friends over the weekend was fun. Most of my life however has been boring work stuff which is going well. I really can't wait till MFM though and getting away for a weekend to relax and have some fun :)

Otherwise, it's been crazy lately. Long hours, been lonely and bored (not a good combination that usually results in "hey ya'll watch this"). So thats my life lately. Love life is still non-existent right now which is too bad, but eh, I suppose sometime it will pick back up. Thing is I keep meeting all the types that are just not right for me, and the ones I think could be right live out of town and too far away to really persue anything deeper. That and the locals that I could persue something with either aren't my type, or I'm ot theirs, or circumstances steer me away to varied degrees of things. Such is life though. Why can't I find a emotionally independent, self reliant, hard working, sympathetic, compassionate, lovable, physically attractive, outgoing, social fur who loves a good time. *giggles* I suppose I ask for too much and end up with nothing in the end. But hey, I'm sure that lotto ticket will come through for me too :P

So what's been happening with this pup lately? Been a while since I posted? Hell yes it has. Where to begin. I'm rarely online since I am working night shift. Things with work are going well and the extra money from working nights is nice to have :). So if you have my num, feel free to SMS me since I have unlimited there and can at least do that through the night at work.

Let's see, well held off AutoX racing this year to work on the car. Did a timing belt replacement with a new shifter (grrs old one snapped in half). Car is running well though. Got back into shooting and picked up an AR-15 that is tweaked all to hell. 3/4 MOA at 100 yds capable minimum, and I can hit that with decent ammo. Also been tweaking in my SWAT tactical mil-dot scope on it to get better at long range shooting. Just a fun sport and hobby to have.

Had a DJ gig around town for a while (monthly) but gave that up for a few reasons. Time, money, etc where the main parts of it. It was fun, but it was also time to move on. I may seek out something new around town, but until then, I'm just going to work on my mixes and try new things to create fun stuff for the con gigs I still have.

I'm also excited about upcoming cons. I have a new husky suit I picked up in March from Soki to break out there and wanna run around and suit more than I get to right now.

Other news, got to visit my friends Solus, Delphinios, Pup, and Padfox over the 4th of July and had fun just getting out of town and hanging out. This was the first trip I've taken and vacation since last October due to various reasons. I miss getting out of town and visiting friends and will have to start using up my vacation to do more of that. The next planned trip I have is to MFM. After that, Oklacon and the MFF. I may try and fit one or two small trips in with that over the weekends.

Also been chilling with some of the locals here over the weekend. Had dinner over at Bladestone and RJs on Friday, then went out last night with Elliot the bunny and Firetyger to grab some yummy food and chill. If the weather is nice next weekend, I think I'll have to get out the range and shoot some.

Health wise, I've got some issues though :( Saw a Orthopedic Surgeon on Friday to find out how screwed my back really is. Pulled it out two weeks or so ago, so I've been doing meds and crap lately which is getting real old. Basically gotta quit smoking completely and lose weight to make the situation better, but surgery is likely needed at some point which is just scary. I'm going to push through it for MFM, Oklacon and MFF hopefully. Just keep up with physical therapy and going to the gym to make things better than they are now. But yeah, I don't let it get me down anymore since I can't do anything about it really :P

Well, thats the update, time for a shower and work.
