Important announcement

Once again, I was the only one at the Pioneer place meet and one of two at the West side meet. This has been going one for the last few months.

The writing is on the wall. There not much interest of meets in PDX furs. As a result, I removed both the Pioneer Place and the West side meets from the calendar. I no longer try to promote both. I did not touch any other meets listing. If somebody wants to start both up I am open to going and helping out. I would suggest if not the mall we have quarterly meet, party, picnic instead; I not going to waste any of my time trying to organize one if nobody shows up.

With decline of all out meets, a lack of leadership that lead to the fury drama. I not associating or working with PDX furs. I would like to see a more family friendly fur group in Portland. I will make this clear in now way I going to compete with or impugn the snark group but will not tolerate any harassment. My reasons are I just do not care for vulgarity and I feel I do not fit in with the sark group due to the age difference. Once I stabilize my employment situation, I gong to put my energy in creating a new furry presence in PDX. I have more on my own blog and perhaps I will donate space on my web host account.

Unfortunately, due to the possibility of my end of contract, I may be able to attend the Tuesday group, but if I am the only one attending, I just going to stop going to any regular meet.

A New First Wearing a Tail in Public Starting a Furmeet

For the first time I wore my tail outside the usual convention scene. Ok I was starting a new furmeet. I wanted to tail up so other furs can find us. Instead of bothering putting my foxtail on in the mall parking lot, I decided to wear my tail the entire day while out visiting garage sales before and after the furrmeet. I got many laughs. This not unusual for me. I am known to go out in public sporting a Hello Kitty Backpack.

Speaking of furrmets, I took the intuitive to start a Westside Metro Furmeet at Washington Square mall. I only get one or two furs but it is a start. My reasons are some furs cannot make to the cross-town meets and the Local group PDX Furs is dying a slow death. The problem with PDX furs was drama caused by a lack of leadership and displine when dealing it instigators with in the fandom. The local furs seen splits with many younger aligning with the PDX snark group and older furs attending the Tuesday afternoon lunch every week. While unemployed, I attend the Tuesday group as a way to get away for a few hours. The problem with Snark group is it a bit too young for me and tend to be more in you face and immature when dealing with the public. The next meet tentatively set for 14 Aug and may look at a bring you own food picnic.

Furry Update

I still looking for work it had been a quiet two weeks and no job yet. I admit I made a few mistakes like not sticking with one firm for a contact. I also am dealing with a medical issue so I need to hold on to what money I have. As a result I am unable to attend All Fur Fun this year. There is a slight chance if I can drum up enough eBay business.

The last few Furmeets were a pleasure. We here in Portland Oregon have a two furmeets an indoor one at Pioneer Place mall on the last Saturday of the month and a outdoor one when the weather is good on the second Sunday. The 28 March meet was interesting.  Kumoricon, the Portland Anime convention was using cosplayers for a promotion and they took up a part of the food court. For once we were not the weird dressed ones at the food court ;).  Then again all we need was a few Star Wars types and we could have a little geek convention.

 

Please do keep me in your prayers, I can hope the doctors can find out what wrong with me.
