End of an era?
Heard that Twitter will be getting rid of the block functionality, except for paid users. Between that and so many other changes that drove me away, finally started deleting some accounts.
Furnal Equinox meme
Guess what? Furnal Equinox is 10 days away! March 17-19 at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto. Wanna go for walkies? Join the Tour De Fur fursuit walk! With the crowd we drew last year, I'm making some tweaks and keeping the route along the waterfront. Ideally this will limit road crossings. Rout…
Hypothetical thought re: faves
Hypothetical thought: If Weasyl were to change their code to either (a) notify you about art that users you watch have faved, or (b) added a new action to share art you like, which added it to the submissions of users watching you ...would that be a good feature to have? And which one would be bett…
Furpoc meme
It's almost time for Furpoc; I'm heading off to NYC and Stamford CT in 6 days! It's gonna be my first time at Furpocalypse, and my first time in the NYC area, so I'm giving myself an extra day and a half to explore the big apple; I plan to head down for a few hours Wednesday evening, and then retur…
Possible 2022 con plans
At this point, I'm already a lock for Furnal Equinox, and plan to sign up for CanFURence when registration opens. But after getting a reminder about unused vacation days (pandemics make them build up), I'm looking at a few options during the first half of the year (by date order): ANE (Feb 17-20) I…
CanFURence 2021
Figured I could bump that journal from the beginning of this pandemic off my user page. This past weekend, I flew to Ottawa for a downtown furry con with an attendance cap of 500 (imposed before the province started lifting restrictions to allow for larger events). What followed was a weekend that,…
#Furnal2020 alternate plans
Welp, last night COVID-19 got my home con cancelled. A bit upset, but with some certainty, I was able to pull out of my hotel reservations and donate my membership to support the con through the tough decision and its likely fallout. That said, after some discussion with other locals, the Tour De F…
#Furnal2020 meme + Tour De Fur reminder
Guess what? Furnal Equinox is 10 days away! March 20-22 at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto. Don't forget the annual Tour De Fur fursuit walk! After last year's schedule change tripled the attendance at this event, I decided not make too many changes this year. The TDF is officially a Saturday…

Heading to Fur-Eh
After spotting a sale on flights earlier this year, I decided to give Fur-Eh a try. It's going to be my first time in Edmonton, so I'll probably have a bit of a challenge finding my way around (step one, figure out the trip from the airport to the hotel; by transit, it's about 90 minutes, but the b…
Winter Con Report: ANE and FE 2019
I'm alive! Forgot to give a con report after returning from Boston, and a meme for my home con that wrapped up this past Sunday! What can I say? It's been a busy month and change, with two cons, a furmeet, and a heckuva lot of fun. Suffice it to say, I had a blast. Anthro New England My trip began…
#ANE2019 plans and meme
Wait, I’m going to a US con? Anthro New England is only 20 days away! I’m flying into Boston (Beantown? Paw-ston?) on the Wednesday and planning to spend my first couple of days exploring the city before the con is fully underway; current plans include a tour of Fenway Park, walking the Freedom Tra…
2019 Con Schedule
Just bought myself a birthday present, so I guess this is a list of things to look forward to this year: ANE (Anthro New England, Boston) - Feb 20-25 FE (Furnal Equinox, Toronto) - Mar 14-17 FE (Fur-Eh, Edmonton) - Jun 13-17 CanFURence (Ottawa) - Aug 1-5 (probably) Okay, that last one isn't quite c…
Looking for ANE ideas...
Since I'm planning to hit up ANE this February in Boston and will likely have a couple days outside the convention to do other stuff… Is there any Boston sites, attractions, etc that anyone can recommend?
Am I furry trash yet?
Last year, I decided to give a relatively new social network, Mastodon, a try. After mucking about on the main instance, I bit the bullet and joined a new one. Figured moving to a furry instance would be a better choice. Say hello to @rkniner@yiff.life Yeah, I'm on a domain with that word in it. Fu…
The Furnal Equinox Tour De Fur is back!

When: Friday March 16, 2018, 12:30 pm Where: Frontenac lobby, ground floor Half an hour after opening ceremonies, as one of the first events on Friday, is the…
FE Aftermath
Took me long enough :P Furnal Equinox was last week, and to keep things short, it ROCKED! ...okay, that was a terrible pun, given the con theme this year, but it was that good a time. After the smash hit that was my "Tour De Fur" walk at Canfurence in November, I had to bring it to my home con this…
FE Update - Tour De Fur plans & forecast
What's that? Furnal Equinox is only days away? If you've been following me on Twitter, you know I'm hyped up this year - with the move to downtown Toronto, the anticipation leading up to the con, and my own event on the official calendar, I've got plenty to look forward to. Speaking of, is anyone m…
#FE2017 Meme
Furnal Equinox is less than a month away! Join us March 17-19 at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto. Before I start this meme, I'd like to remind everyone that I'm hosting a panel this year! Join us on Friday for a special Tour De Fur fursuit-friendly walk along Toronto's waterfront (and other so…
Con Report: CanFURence 2016
This past weekend, I attended the inaugural CanFURence in Ottawa, a three day furcon a few hours' drive from Toronto (well, I flew for an hour, but I digress). Just over 300 furs showed up, and honestly? It was a BLAST! As a panelist at the con responsible for Friday's "Tour de fur" walk, this was…
Grey Cup fursuit walk!
Looking to organize a fursuit walk in downtown Toronto this November! https://plus.google.com/events/cmrhoethuvkvqi5u1tj4q386kdg Does anyone remember when I hijacked one of these four years ago and we crashed a street party and wound up in the news? This year, it's back in Toronto (although the hom…
A housewarming (housefluffing?) party? Plans and ideas
For those who have been following me on Twitter or in meatspace (creepers ;P ), this past fall, I moved into a new condo, and just over a month ago (literally 29 days before FE) completed purchasing it from the developer. In that time, I finished moving in, the pool and other amenities opened, etc.…
Furnal Equinox 2016: a belated con report
Okay, wow, took me long enough to do this... Was still dealing with the PCD and con crud and trying to get healthy again. Short version: FE2016 was awesome! Slightly longer version: FE2016 was a blast, and I can't wait until next year! Full version: As some readers might already know, Furnal Equino…
Anthro New England: a con report
First off, I have to say this was a blast! Still finding photos from it, but for a first time flying to a US con solo, it was fun. Even if I set things up such that I had to arrive late and duck out early. Friday My trip began, like FC last year, with an early alarm so I could get to the airport. U…
Weekend Report - And more fursuit plans!
I guess it figures that, after struggling to find interested suiters, Mother Nature wouldn't cooperate either and we got near-constant rain all weekend. Plans to join yesterday's walk were scrubbed (along with the original walk), and today's fursuiting plans, well... ...I went, but the concert was…
Let's watch HTTYD 2!
Where: downtown Toronto, at either the Yonge-Dundas or Scotiabank Theatre, specific location TBD When: Friday, June 13, evening, showtimes TBD Apparently the day I turn 29, Dreamworks will be releasing the sequel to How To Train Your Dragon. With how awesome the first one was, I want to see the sec…
FE 2014: a con report
Well, now that I've had a few days of PCE (post-con euphoria) to settle down after a weekend of fuzz, it's time to take the whole thing back in and review FE once again: Last year's con was an awesome experience, with the dance party outside the official parade photo shoot on Saturday being a rathe…
FE Meme
Well, may as well fill this out... Where are you staying? At home, I'm a cheapskate who will be busing in and out every day What day are you getting there? Friday morning, probably around 10 am How long are you going? Until Dead Dog starts Sunday night How are you traveling? TTC bus and subway Who…

What's your real name? Richard How tall are you? 5'6" What's your natural hair color? Brown What's your eye color? Brown What's your orientation? Depends. In RL, I score an X on the Kinsey scale... (Translation, I'm A) but I can go either way with furry stuff. Are you single, taken or undecided? Gi…
