*Clears the Dust* There Will be Updates...I Promise

It seems like it's been forever since I've been here, and it pretty much has.  For that, I apologize.  Life has a funny way of draining your free time, and well, I've been enjoying mine...a lot.  I've been all over the place since the last update covering everything from car shows and events to furry conventions.  Life has been pretty fun, and I don't see it stopping soon.  I love hitting furry conventions and partying and suiting till I can't stand anymore.

Here's what's coming up and what I'll be catching up with:

-Car show and event coverage;  local meets, WekFest Chicago (coming Aug. 20th)
-Feature cars;  magazine and online blog shoots, i'mSTANCED Crew
-Conventions:  Anthrocon 2011, Fur Fright 2011, Mid-West Fur Fest 2011

Cars & Cafe 4/2/11

Well, this weekend marked the first Cars & Cafe event of the year and despite the forecasts, the weather cooperated and the sun was out all day.  For this one, I rolled the LS400 out with a few other cars from i'mSTANCED, and we had a good showing.  Everyone was sporting new looks, and the cars went down a treat.  Overall, the gathering was small, but still a good turnout considering the roads still hadn't been washed clean of the winter salts, and the lineups were impressive.  Minneapolis Maserati brought out a few Bentley Continental GTs, a Maserati Quattroporte, and a Ferrari F430.  There was also a nice lineup of Porsches and Audis from their respective organizations.

Another "big" showing was Kaien.  Following up from my Spiderman escapade last year, I decided to put on a little show for the opener and bring Kaien out to check out the show.  Everyone got a kick out of it, including the little kids walking around.  Kaien even had a little fun with Tiesto, a malamute that was walking around.

After the show, me, the bf, and some friends went to Lions Tap for lunch, followed by a stop over at MAPerformance for a little open house.  It was a great day to kick off the season.

Kaien and Howlie

Well, it has been awhile since I have updated anything.  I apologize for that, but there have been a lot of big changes going on mainly centered around a new job and doing a lot of photography work.  I've also been drawn back into organizing events for a few local, automotive groups next year so I do have a lot on my plate.

What I wanted to share here though is some progress on my fursuits.  Yeah, plural, as in two, heh.  My first suit is being made by Syber at Made Fur You which should be done sometime in the month of December.  I'm very excited to see her take on my fursona.  In the interim, I met a wonderful wuffy named Kio.  We sparked it off since we both share an interest in cars to find out that he is a rather talented fursuit builder as well.  He was open for commissions so I had him make me a head.  What he turned out is amazing.  The quality and functionality are superb.  I'm eagerly awaiting my second slot to come up so he can finish the rest of the suit to accompany his head.

Another big piece of news is my bf Howlie's new head was finished by Fursuiting.com, so now his fursuit is complete again.  We spent the holiday together and took some pictures together:
