The new year and updates!
I didn't keep to posting, but I did a lot of other things
Merry new year!
Let’s get to addressing the previous post: Halloween Stream went well! It was a fun project, and a whole heck of a lot of work to do a solo show with the ideas I had in mind. I would love to have a producer/cowriter/director the next time I do it. I put majority of my effort into organization, writing, recording, coordination. The weakest part of the stream was my actual live performance, and while not bad, I can envision a way of doing that type of long show and not having to sacrifice much of anything.
New Job!
Without going into details, I started a new job on November 25! Yes, the week of thanksgiving, and the week to week schedule has been insanely irregular considering, well, holiday season. I’m working with/for a friend again, and while I’ve been thrown into the deep end, it’s good, I’m digging it, and I think I’m doing well too. Onwards and upwards!
Conventions
Fur Squared is up next, and I basically finalyl took this year “off”. I put it in quotes because I’ve been helping various people all along, but I have not been in the staff chats, nor generally attending meetings, though I did attend the final in person, and that was fun, weird, and proud: Fur Squared will live on without me, the primary goal! Obviously I still want to be part of it, but The Draggor Show couldn’t last and wasn’t healthy. Kudos to Axel, MLW, and Kashi, and all the other folks that saw what needed doing and helped do it.
Additionally, I’m slowly starting to go to more conventions again. For 2025 I’m definitely doing Fur Squared, Furry Weekend Atlanta, Anthrocon, Biggest Little Fur Con, and Midwest Fur Fest. I also hope to attend Motor City Furry Convention, Indy Fur Con, and maybe others. I’m also going to the inaugural Wi Furs Bonfire Meet! All of this is to say I’m trying to get on stage more, and trying to re-integrate with this found family.
Performances & Streaming
Speaking of stage time, I have restarted streaming! It’s thus far been impromptu workout streams, in the vein of Community Cardio that I did during lockdown. I’m calling it “I’m Just A Dog Just Doing Fitness” and I wear my wonderful Fishy Boner leather pup hood while going through my lifting routine in my murder-basement. The intent is to get me lifting, I’m more likely to stick to a schedule if there’s the idea of an audience. We’ll see if the format evolves, but as with most things, this is for me. If others enjoy or even benefit, as Axel likes to say, Bonus Nachos!
At some point I would like to bring back the DooM streams, but I need to get settled into the routine of this new job. Ideally this year, 2025, it comes back in some form, but that’s a nice to have, not a need to have. You’ll definitely see me resume doing my recordings for Alkali’s Dungeons & Dragons Experience, as well as other streams friends & co do.
Rifts Play By Post RPG
I am continuing this, and am having some of the most fun I’ve had since starting it a few years ago! Curious? Head to https://pbprpg.org and maybe make an account and hit folx up to join. Mention me, Draggor, as a referral so folx know it’s real and not spam. Also I get bonuses for it, teehee.
Ending
All of this is to say: life is going well, my focus on the performative internet part is not the priority, but I would like to maintain it, and even improve my regularity of occurances.
