upcoming furry events...

hard to believe that time of year is almost here!

for the past few years, I've always tried to make at least 1 of the furry conventions and the closest one has been Megaplex. Usually held in Orlando but this year, it'll be held in my hometown of Jax. I'm very excited about that - mostly due to it being local as I couldn't get this coming weekend off completely. I'll be able to attend Friday and Saturday with no problem - Sunday night I'll have to work and therefore might miss some things but it works out for the best - I still am able to attend.

Megaplex (back then FSB) was the first furry convention I ever attended. I've also been to a few of the Anthrocons but that is held in PA. I was hoping to go this year but things didn't work out too well for that. (No place to stay... granted if I were to take the train or something I could make it up and would pay at the door to get in... but not sure) anyhow, I'm hopeful for next year.

also coming up in April is my local furry group's picnic (always a good time and warm weather) held at Hanna Park (right on the beach). Last few years we've had a big crowd... while not many people have signed up for it yet, I'm sure there will be more attending as it gets closer. Some come with their fursuits and it's always a nice sight to see how many people around the beach come up and ask for pictures with them as well as the reactions of little ones. They think they're at Disney or something. Last year I believe, some teen girls in prom dresses came up asking for pictures with them.

they (conventions) are always fun to attend not just because of the furriness and artwork and games but it gives me the chance to catch up with friends that I've not seen in quite some time (and some I'd be meeting for the first time.) :)

come on spring!!!!

as I write this, it's a day when the temperature in north Florida hit a new record low... 25 degrees (previous record was 28) - the high of the day never hit 53 and I sit in a room with a small heater going....

how I long for spring to hurry up and arrive...

not just for the warmth but it's also for the things happening in the springtime...
my first vacation happens in a few weeks from now (hopefully it warms up by then) - although I have no definite plans...

in April (when it WILL be warmer), my local furry group has an annual picnic and it's always a good time to share with friends and to be at the beach :)

so come on spring.... :>

and it's not just because someone I care a lot about might be able to visit - but that thought helps out greatly and also helps keep me warm (which makes the heater I'm using now very thankful)
