LET’S MARCH INTO THIS MONTH WITH OUR HEADS UP! Can you believe we made it to the third month of the year? How does it feel like we’ve tackled a year’s worth of ideas together already?
IN THIS NEWSLETTER:
- UPDATED CONVENTION SCHEDULE
- PLANS FOR TFF
- YEARBOOK UPDATES
- SCHOOL RIVALRY GOES PUBLIC
- MARCH STICKER CLUB + NEW ITEMS
- GENERAL UPDATES
I am excited to announce I was accepted to vend at my local Portland con, FURLANDIA! It is always fun to see so many familiar faces right around the corner (plus the no travel and getting to hang out with Lil Kitty after work days is a huge bonus!) I anticipate being a bit of a husk after the gauntlet that is FWA two weeks before, but we survive!
I am VERY EXCITED to note some very cool folks got accepted alongside me including: PeriPendrake, Sun Cat Studios and HyacinthineArt! If you are able to make a visit to Portland (highly recommend visiting the CITY and not just the con), I’d love to see you!
CONVENTION SCHEDULE FOR 2024
- TFF 2024 (MAR 14-17): ARTIST ALLEY
- FWA 2024 (MAY 9-12): DEALERS
- Furlandia 2024 (MAY 24-26): DEALERS
- AC 2024 (JUL 4-7): DEALERS
- Furry Migration 2024 (SEP 6-8): APPLIED
I have decided to cancel my plans for LVFC 2024 in Las Vegas, NV due to schedule conflicts and needing extra time to finalize plans for future cons. My most upcoming convention will be TFF 2024 in Dallas, TX between March 14-17.
As for other cons on the list – I have sent in an application for Furry Migration and am waiting to hear back at this time. If there are any cons you’d like to see me in in the future, feel free to recommend!
I will be attending TFF in two weeks! Catch me in Dallas, TX between March 14-17 as I eat my fill in kolaches before I am dragged back to the hotel kicking and screaming.
I will be attempting to get a table in the Artist Alley for all three days, but prioritizing Friday and Saturday! If I am successful at getting a spot I will have a mini storefront available for the weekend with my usual madness and a few new items!
NEW ITEMS FOR TFF:
- Lil Kitty Bellyrub PIN
- HAHA Yeen PIN
- Sunflower Sunfish PIN
- Kolache PIN
- TFF 2024 STICKER
- Kolache STICKER
Reminder to patrons attending TFF – don’t forget to pick up your con-exclusive bonus item for being part of this patreon community! They will be available during Artist Alley hours at my table, but I will also be attempting to have them on me at any point during the con so just come say hi and snag yours!
While you can find me vending during the day and finding delicious food after hours, there are two main events I will be attending that I highly encourage you to as well.
The first is the VEGGIE TALES AFTER DARK Panel – DATE AND TIME TBD! An ongoing event that explores Veggie Tales History from a rather… interesting perspective! Bring your vegetable trivia and prepare to fight to the death over what a tomato actually is!
The second event is HEY SYRI! HOT MESS – SATURDAY @ MIDNIGHT! Syri is an extremely talented DJ Artist that is known for transitions that make you ascend into the heavens and seamlessly stitching together an hour that never disappoints. TFF 2023 Syri Set is one of my all time favorite memories and events from last year so I hope to see y’all there!

Do you smell that? Smells like… A SCHOOL RIVALRY! If you missed mine and PeriPendrake’s keynote presentation last month, we are excited to go public with a very large-scale collaborative event next week after sharing it with patrons early!
There is further information available on the Announcement Channel of the Patreon Discord but the full project drop goes live Tuesday, March 7th! Expect to see updated information on how to join your school, when acceptance letters go out, when the school store opens and activities planned leading up to FWA!
We went very literal this month. Do you get it? Do you understand the joke here? WE ARE MARCHING, WE ARE MARCHERS, WE ARE MARCHING INTO MARCH! Folks in Tiers Radishes, Eggplants and Squash can expect to see this sticker arriving starting next week!
I am staying full steam ahead with two projects for FWA under my belt! Y’all continue to inspire me to brainstorm chaotic community events for everyone to take part in and I am excited to continue to chip away at my schedule to make as much happen as I can possibly handle!
I am excited to have ChowFur briefly visit before heading out to TFF in two weeks – a chance for anyone to meet Lil Kitty is always a glorious occasion!
My goals heading into this month is to stay ahead of my schedule if possible, enjoy TFF with friends, get everything needed for taxes lined up and have fun with the chaotic world that is the university world-building!
Catch y’all on Discord – talk soon!
