Aurawra is done for me. Off early to get to work. Think I have some things to sort out when I'm home. Lots of fun and truly great to meet/see folks again, but I felt kind of low key in a haze the whole con that I think is something that I need to work out how to dispel when I get back to Melbourne.

I washed my bird suit with my Dad (he's a tough hand wash) in prep for Aurawra. First time going to this con! Starting to get a bit anxious about all the people I want to see and things I want to do (or vice verse), especially having to leave Sunday afternoon. Hope to see some folks there!

I've worked as a suit performer for about 17 years and the only time I ever had to have some kind of medical episode for heat was in a parade at about 28 degrees. Sometimes fursuiting is knowing when to say "yeah, nah" and this is one of those times.

⚠️ An important announcement regarding the cancellation of the 2026 Fursuit Parade and Block Party due to the extreme heat and severe weather situation in the Pittsburgh forecast.

Anthrocon has been closely monitoring the extreme heat and severe weather situation in Pittsburgh forecast for this weekend. Convention leadership has been in contact with emergency services personnel and other entities regarding this situation.

After careful consideration for the health, safety, and wellbeing of our fursuiters, attendees, and residents of Pittsburgh, Anthrocon has decided to cancel the 2026 Fursuit Parade and Block Party scheduled for 2pm, July 4th.

We know both Anthrocon attendees and our friends in Pittsburgh look forward to this event every year; but the health and safety of all concerned is our paramount priority.

Anthrocon attendees should look for announcements of alternative indoor activities in place of the parade this year. We apologize for the necessity of this decision and hope you’ll continue to enjoy the events throughout the holiday weekend.

If you ever told me a time would come where I dread having to wear huffy animal/anthro costumes for money on weekends and performing, I would say you were lying. That time has well and truly come after an absolute nightmare month of work followed up by 3 gigs in my weekend. Gotta change something.

Just finished the best weekend of my life, I married my best friend It was so amazing to have friend from all over the country and the world join us to celebrate with us! A weekend packed with a Furry Wedding, Bachelor's party and Family Wedding I love you so much @muttasaur.bsky.social

Good news: Room mate acquired so I am gonna go. Bad news: My card is expiring the month of Aurawra and the hotel wouldn't accept it, so I couldn't book a room. It was too late to organise when I thought this might be an issue :(.

The years of running the FurDu room gauntlet have made me anxious as heck for Aurawra. Actually gonna try and go for the first time. I just wanna get it all sorted and then get back to normal for this week because hoo boy do I have so much work to do :')
