Greetings all! Time for an update through the power of bullet points (because I'm too lazy to go into detail ;))

• Life is good, plodding along nicely :).

• I'm currently apartment hunting in the Manchester area in preparations for Jackie's move to the UK :) *kisses his doggy lots*

• At some point this week Frostie's head will be on it's way back to Florida for some cosmetic changes (the parcel box I got for him doesn't quite fit :/)

• Art is going great so far! I'm really enjoying the stuff I'm doing and that encourages me to be more productive... laziness however, does not. *slaps himself* Be motivated, wolf!

• At the moment working on some silly sketches and moonfox17's Husky character design, which is proving more difficult than first anticipated. Why is it so easy to design a character for yourself and yet so difficult to design one for others?

• Also working on some hush-hush stuff needed for ConFuzzled, deadlines are approaching... must get to work :O

• Trying to expand my taste in music, currently enjoying the 80's era rock and guitar riffs of Def Leppard! And enjoying it too, so if anyone can recommend a band to look into from that era, let me know

• Contemplating going to my Dad's for the weekend, it's been a while now and he isn't getting any younger and his health is considerably worsening :(

• Had an enjoyable Saturday in Chester with jinxxy, chris_cosmo and panthras for the inaugural "Sketch meet", much coffee and cake was consumed, not so much sketching done *chuckles*. But we did all get at least one done and it was a lot of fun, it was a success and would love to do another soon :)

Hope everyone is having a nice day/week/month/decade/millennium.... blah blah blah :)

( Sketches, you can have them :) )

Today, we present images sent to us from our viewers, all over the country.


( Look inside for really bad art :) )

As I will be enjoying stuffing my face with lots and lots of yummy Christmas food tomorrow and seeing as everyone else is posting their messages today, I would usually wait until midnight before posting this but... what the heck! :). So to all of my friends in Europe...

Feliz Navidad
Joyeux Noel
Froehliche Weihnachten
Vrolijk Kerstfeest
And... Veselé Vánoce for tabbiefox! :D</lj>

And to my British friends...
A Merry Christmas!
... Or Bah Humbug! to you nay sayers ;)

A very happy birthday goes to the wolf-killer bigbluefox!

Have a wonderful day Fox! Be proud knowing that your videos and dances bring smiles to thousands of lunatics people everyday :)

Note: He's actually a really sweet guy, pay no attention to the above photo ;D

Off to Germany, bbl.

- For everyone else going, have a very safe journey and see you from Tuesday onwards :).

- For those not going, sucks to be you!
(Joking! Have a wonderful week ^^)

He's done!

... have another tease ;)

August 27th - 31st 2008

Spooky goings on shall descend upon the Hotel Ringberg as hundreds of people gather for Horrorfurence, the 14th annual Eurofurence furry convention. And preparations have almost been made.






I wonder what this could be? You'll find out at EF14 :)

The Wolf has spoken!

(Thanks to ember_komodog for the photo :))

Tremendous amounts of fun!

As much fun for myself as EF13 was :D

Fursuit Performance panel was great fun to take part in.

Miniwulf is tired

Full report later

... zzzZZZzzzz

Just a quick thank you to calihusky and the rest of the staff for creating one heck of an amazing event. You all deserve a huuuuge round of applause.
And also to bigbluefox for being an amazing sport throughout the whole event and for being such an amazing guy that he is, can't wait to catch up with you at EF :)

Yup, I dropped shivonhusky at Manchester airport earlier in the afternoon to catch his flight home despite difficulties getting him there (the trains from Piccadilly to the airport had been cancelled due to maintenance and replaced by a bus service, which would have made Mou miss his flight).

The week certainly has been fun and an interesting challenge for myself as I've never had to plan such a week ever in my whole life. Some things didn't quite go to plan, either due to my own fault (for which I apologised) or by unforeseen circumstances. Yet still regardless of those we still had the pleasure of meeting friends all over the country. So many thanks go out to graafen, ember_komodog, _shema_ and snoblissea for providing both crash space and entertainment for us both during our visits, you all have hearts of gold!

The furmeet yesterday was much fun, I had forgotten just how much I miss my southern friends, the new venue certainly is nice and spacious and the changing area is a much welcome addition compared to what we had at the Bullfrog, even though the lighting wasn't working which caused most of the suiters to get changed in a corner of the main bar area (not me though hehe ;)). The walk itself was rather tiring though, perhaps this is simply because I have yet to become an experienced fullsuiter? In fact halfway during the walk I pulled mustan to one side and asked him to gather all the suiters together for a 15-20 minute break to de-head, drink water and cool down (away from the eyes of the public of course). Overall the meet was such fun and will most likely be making it to another one in a couple of months time, just seeing everyone again brought a considerably sized smile to my face :). It was also a pleasure of meeting new folk such as ravellwolf, bariki and many many more, and to everyone who came over and said hellos and spoke to me I give my thanks ^^.


Now then... where's my bed? *flomps* zzzZZZZzzzzzz

Later this afternoon I'll be on my way with Ember to Sheffield to spend tomorrow with Furble/Cali, Exile and Avalanche for my 26th Birthday :). It promises to be a fun day and it has been a long long time since last spending a Birthday of mine in the company of friends.
I'm not the kind of guy who frowns upon getting older either, I actually enjoy it and looking back on interesting years to muse over what has taken place in my life - and this last year... oh boy, it's been one heck of a ride.

I have already received two birthday cards in the mail this morning, a rather cheeky offering from my Dad with a rather sweet and heart-warming message inside :).

And one that took me completely by surprise from mylo_the_husky (I'm assuming you poked Shay for my address? You sneaky little husky you! hehe). It was a beautiful Hallmark card with Labrador puppies, but the real gem was inside in the shape of a photo fixed to the card of Ben, Mylo's own Labrador doggie and again a very lovely message. Thank you so much Mylo it has really made my morning to an already promising weekend :) *hugs tightly*

I'll be replying to Birthday greetings after getting back from Sheffield!

Also a pre-emptive Birthday greeting for mustan! As the horse has the unfortunate honour of sharing the very same Birthday as my own *chuckles*. So when you're offering me my Birthday greetings tomorrow spare a thought for the equine one as he also turns the mature age of 18! :)

Sorry Ember, I just HAD too ;), the urge was just too great to resist. *chuckles*

This weekend I shall be indulging in a little bit of baking! The delicacy on offer?



Double chocolate chip Brownies*

*End results may vary

Today someone very special is celebrating his 31st birthday :). And that special someone is greyshay.



Happy Birthday Michael! I hope today and the events over the next year give you everything your big cookie munching heart desires. No-one deserves it more than you.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for being such a dear friend. *hugs*

I got back a while ago from my weekend visit to colifox and badgerguy's housewarming party/Fursuiting event, and wow... I had a wonderful time in the presence of friends both new and old and getting the chance to see those who I hadn't seen in months.

I want to thank Colifox and Badgerguy for their wonderful hospitality and for inviting me in the first place :). I want to thank yagfox for making the Saturday night dance much more effective by rigging up some lighting (which I was told used only approx. 20% of his collection), to ember_komodog for having the balls to actually take the microphone and giving us a wonderful and highly amusing rendition of The Darkness' "I Believe in a thing called Love" (which I do believe was recorded by Colifox ;)) on Singstar. And for everyone who attended for just making the weekend what it was.

The Saturday fursuiting was just as wonderful although rain towards the end cut whatever time we had left short, although to my knowledge we were just about finished as the rain came down anyway :). Also as it was my first time fullsuiting I was certainly feeling the difference, by the end of it all I was finding myself exhausted and fursuits are quite heavy when they're wet. Photos and video of the event will be linked to as and when they appear. Our special guest hawthorn was a delight to meet and to talk to during the weekend and I wish him a safe journey home when he returns to Germany on Thursday :).

As part of the event Colifox drew up a badge for each and every one of us which sadly he didn't get to finish them off in time for practical use but even so, they were a very thoughtful gift. Mine of which can be seen below:



Thanks to Colifox for that.

All in all it was a very nice weekend away in the company of friends and others and I do hope that a similar event is planned in the future.

* Disclaimer: BrumCon is not an official convention... yet.

I'm back home from spending a wonderful two days in the company of ember_komodog and family. I had such a fun time there and was certainly made to feel welcome :). Much fun was had watching movies, arting, generally having a larf and a good ol' chin wagging. And of course having photos taken of Frosty Fullsuit and some cracking photos were taken for sure :). I also got to watch Ratatouille for the very first time, it was a thoroughly enjoyable movie for me for a number of reasons (Food, Micro-ism and anthropomorphic characters... what more could I have wanted! Hehe)

Ember, thank you so much for hosting me and for your hospitality. We most definitely should do it again some time soon :).

Photos and such have already appeared on Ember's LJ but I will be posting my very own favourites later.

Highly anticipating the proposed Birmingham fursuit walk event taking place next Friday to be re-united with good friends.

Just another daft little video I made :P. No point to it really, only to demonstrate that I'm bored and into pointlessness :)


Apologies for the video freezing on occasion... my webcam isn't the best ever.

See, I haven't forgotten the neckerchief :)

Who wants a peek? All taken by my Dad :).

Apologies for the poor editing of these photos :(. I had to do my best using Photobucket's own image editing software as my Brother's laptop is lacking Photoshop :P.

If you do NOT want to see the fuzz in full, do not look under this cut.

You like? :)

I can't go into too much as I have a train to catch in an hour to spend the weekend with my Dad, but at 9:45am this morning a van pulled up with a package containing something considerably... fluffy ^^. And where was I at the time?

zzzzZZZZZzzzzzz

Yup, sound asleep :P, luckily Mum was present to take the package.

Frost T. Fullsuit is present and in the fur ready for some fun in the coastal town of Southport! Pictures shall be uploaded as and when they are taken at my Dad's. I have already tried it on for size and it fits perfectly! Mum completely bombarded me with hugs as soon as I stepped through the door :). Onto a couple of pointers I have until I can show you photos of fuzziness.

• The suit IS form-fitting, but with my round shape it's more cuddly than sexy (thankfully). Movement however is NOT restrictive in any way and I can move freely and comfortably
  

• Frost in a full body completely changes him from what people see as a partial, I'm unsure right now as to whether this is a good or a bad thing

• It is a frontal zipper which makes access easy as... well... easier than a back zipper :P

• The entire suit fits into the same hard-case as I carried my partial around in so no need for a new bag :D

• It gets bloody hot in there! I will most definitely require some more experience now if I hope to survive in fullsuit for as long as I did in partial

• The fullsuit shall be at Preston when I go to visit ember_komodog Wednesday and Thursday

• The first public debut shall be the following weekend when I take part in the Birmingham fursuit walk organised by colifox and badgerguy

• He looks ADORABLE!!! :D

• He's shedding fur like crazy, I've already had to vacuum the living room :P

• Also... not a penny to pay customs :D

Pictures to come either later or tomorrow :)

Have a great weekend y'all

Hey everyone... I'm cross posting this from the UKFur forums in the hope that someone will see this as although it's not urgent... I really would like to get it resolved as soon as possible :)

It seems that on the likelihood of Shema and Sno unable to attend ConFuzzled this year that I am on the look-out for two others to share with now.

If anyone happens to be looking for roomies yourself, or if you know anyone who is, feel free to comment here and we will discuss it. There are a couple of pointers here - You will be rooming with myself and jackiedog from Spain. Also although it hasn't been 100% confirmed that Shema and Sno are unable to attend, it is highly likely that they won't be (95% - 99.9%) so be aware that any arrangement isn't final until I get full confirmation about this.

Thanks for everyone's help in this

- Frost T
