A big-beak bird! PC gamer, physician, veteran
The seventh part of the Pelican Telegram sticker pack is now live and includes the first art of my Slavik the skunk character. Again my stickers are by @codyf0xx.bsky.social and can be added at t.me/addstickers/... . There's also a sushi version of my daydreaming of fish sticker not depicted.
I attended Anthrocon on relatively short notice to model some things @shrugsyolo.bsky.social is involved in; this wasn't one of the six conventions for which I planned at the beginning of the year. I arrived on Friday evening just in time to collect my badge and see the bird gathering.
Yesterday I returned from a couple of nights in cabins in the woods of southeastern Iowa with some critters organized by @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social
Last weekend was Des Moines Con, a nerdy convention, and on Saturday there was this gathering of furries!
For fursuit Friday here's a champion skunk at MCFC! Recognized for competitive excellence in the sport of posing next to a big trophy
Visited a friend over the weekend to help construct a couple duct tape dummies and for grilling and movie night
Here's my haul from Motor City Furry Con! I loved the video game theme for this year. This was my second MCFC, and both had quality badge lanyards. We'll see if this notion of furry convention challenge coins takes off.
I've been playing Terraria to earn the new achievements and get that game back on my perfect Steam games list. Today my perfect games list was further reduced by three by new achievements for Going Medieval, Cities: Skylines, and Trash Goblin.
Last weekend I went to Motor City Furry Con with @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social, who brought along his feline partial while I had my new corvid partial and also my skunk! We stayed near the top of the Renaissance Center! We took many pictures like these on Friday with Kota, Shadow Moon, and Mako.
I led a quick cross-border evening excursion and photo session with Jakey on day 0 of MCFC. Although I was in the area for years, I hadn't been to the Windsor waterfront before.
I'm getting ready to leave for Motor City Furry Con. Meanwhile here are the things I brought home from FurSquared. The big item is of course the bird head, and the sponsor-level bag is useful for holding stickers, some of which were traded at the convention.
I am back from FurSquared and am pleased to announce my new acquisition at the dealers den of this bird fursuit head from Fishbowl Fantasies. You may see me as this corvid at future conventions. This follows three episodes of missed opportunities to purchase an avian head, so quite fortunate.
Saturday at FurSquared, RenFur, I did more suiting as a Templar skunk, met many friends, and attended panels and meets about cartoons, trains, Pokémon, and lagomorphs.
I'm at FurSquared enjoying the Ren Fur. Yesterday we did registration, opening ceremonies, bird meet, dinner with birds, and room party (which included many birds). Also ten steps into dealers den I made a big purchase to be shared later.
I'm getting ready to leave for FurSquared, my first time attending this convention. This year they went with a Renaissance theme. The following weekend is Motor City Furry Con, which for the first time will be at the Renaissance Center!
Here's an assortment of MFF 2025 pictures I haven't posted yet before we get to 2026!
"There is a playable demo for the new Star Trek: Voyager game" sounds like a sentence from 2001, but we said it in 2025. Again, what a time to be alive.
The opening lyrics of Brick by Ben Folds Five are: 6 am Day after Christmas
Here's the haul from Midwest FurFest 2025. It's heavy with stickers after bigger acquisitions at AnthroCon. I collected each of the eight convention cards at MFF just like last year but didn't find out about them until the second day of the convention.
It's the last day of MFF 2025, and unfortunately there will be snow to contend with on the way back. We're trying to enjoy the remaining time here, but meanwhile here are more pictures with the crew including Mayo's new suit!
I wanna make so many birds :) There will be a time soon where perhaps I can make you a bird :)))
Midwest FurFest, Friday, December 5, Avian Meet and Beak. I squawked at many birds as a vulture gryphon. The cat is @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social.
Thursday at Midwest FurFest! I'm in the main hotel again, but this time the room for my party of four came with more than one bed.
