Full time skunk, part time golden retriever. I love to make your convention something special to remember.
Finished putting a nice heat transfer vinyl on my new carts. Got dogs nails trimmed. Got caught up with all expenses submitted pre-event. Finished some little awards for events. Rented the uhaul to bring it all in and then just lost all my enthusiasm for any of this.

Here we observe the enigmatic Goose with a Knife. A solitary figure, it commands respect and a wide berth from all other species in the area. He’s not on vacation, this is his home.
Find him everywhere you look at MFF 2025.

Semi successful day. Printed the last 500 sheets off. Finished & ordered the late local banners. Got annoyed at the internet. Attempted to modify a banner and decided not to. Installed a new door knob. Finished off Man on the Inside 2.

The real trick is to introduce your friend by name because you have no idea the name of the person you ran into that wants to stop and talk. It sometimes forces them to say it.
Tip for those attending MFF:
You WILL make or break someone’s furry convention experience by doing this

Weekend is over. I printed about 1000 sheets of stuff off. Filled 10 weighted bases with 50# of sand each. Built folders so I can just hand each dept a packet. Covid shot. Finally got a dog sitter after 4 tries. Bought geese. Haircut. Husband cooked homemade spinach ricotta manicotti things.

I just bought a bunch of full size geese decoys (end of season clearance!). Now I need to 3d print some little knifes for them to carry.

We booked a cruise today also... DBruin's 50th birthday will line up close to the Joco 2027 cruise. It's like a nerdy convention cruise. We have been watching videos on it a few years. Ex. Formal night is dress your best! Ren Faire, ball gown, star fleet. I know what my most expensive suit is.

Tonight I am older. I have culver's, cake and dogs so it's a good year. A nice husband to go get cake doesn't hurt either. Thank you for the too many wishes today all.

I have a project at work that is just burning me out. It's a massive project searching for cost savings ideas. They keep wanting us to use AI and as idea generation for these types of topics, AI is terrible. I'm essentially being forced to create project teams for terrible ideas now.

Someone at work said they want to come to MFF and that just blew me away. Maybe I'm a good salesman. I really hope they come. Its a really cool person.

At a normal business everyone is hired for their expertise in a field. They might be good or bad at it, but they have a foundation. At a con, some people are experts but a lot are just really devoted and willing to put in the work.

We were having a conversation about how dumb the 6-7 thing is and it occurred to me that in grade school we all had these wierd little memes and we weren't on Twitter and all that so everyone's was different to their school. That could be a fun panel. We did some bizzare/terrible stuff.

I was alone in the elevator when someone did that run to just barely stop it in time. I pressed the door open button to be nice. The door opened, he got on and then he started coughing and hacking like he was super sick. What in the fuck dude. I'm hitting the door close button next time.
