San Francisco, Here I come! (Then BLFC)

Work’s been busy! Next week I’ll be in San Francisco for the Gaming Analytics Leadership Summit (pic from the last visit).

Wednesday I’ll be looking to head out to Reno for four days of bliss in Reno Nevada, at the Biggest Little Fur Con. Maybe I can find someone to carpool with and chat along the way. 🙂

Life’s been pretty busy in other news. My eldest child (and her family of four) is moving back in from Nebraska… so we’re “evacuating” the upstairs and remodeling a few rooms to handle 7 people. On the plus side, it looks like I’m getting a back-yard studio for my art & photography!

And then there’s the events I’m coordinating: Photography Panel at BLFC, Event Running panel at BLFC, and a two-pirate-ship extravaganza in Seattle this August. So much going on, so exciting!!

What A Year!

A little over a year ago, and after a 20-year-long hiatus, I chose to jump back into the fandom with all paws and reckless abandon. What followed was an amazing journey to new places and new friends. AnthroNW, Furlandia, two Further Confusions, Midwest Fur Fest… I’ve met so many fascinating individuals and had the time of my life!

Just a few weeks ago I spent an amazing time in San Francisco for a work-related talk.  My visit provided me an opportunity to hang out with Spottacus, Amenophis, Opda, Ashke, and others. I finally made it out to the institution which is Thursday Night Wicked Chicken. I had an amazing dinner with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. I stayed up until 5AM talking with truly smart individuals.

To be honest, I’ve never hung out with more than one person when visiting a city.
I’ve… well, I’ve never had that many acquaintances in the town I live in, much less growing friendships abroad.

The furry fandom has provided me with so much. Thank you!

So! Last year, I registered this domain. I planned to get around to posting more thoughtful blog entries rather than the brief tweets. Maybe start up a bit of a shop catering to my favorite community? As my first BLFC approaches, it’s beyond time to get started!

Now to figure out this WordPress thing…
