CAMP CHIMERA UPDATE
GENERAL UPDATES
I was accepted to vend at Another Furry Con in Ontario, CA, however I am still on the fence about attending as I am tackling Furrydelphia and Furry Migration back to back at the tail end of my summer con circuit! On the bright side this means that my good friend Husious will have a FULL SIZE BOOTH and anyone attending should RUN to their table!
I have applied to Furpocalypse and Biggest Little Fur Con (BLFC) to fill my Fall Con Circuit and will circle back with updates soon! I continue to sit politely for MFF, ANE and AnthroExpo applications to open!
My next upcoming con will be AnthroCon in Pittsburgh, PA between July 3-7! I will be in the Dealer’s Den all three days at Table P16! Our row in the den is an S-Tier experience with BadgerPaw Puppetry, myself, Tilly, PeriPendrake, Pinku and MORE! I am hosting a Vendor Bingo and she is JUICY FOLKS!
There is a MOUNTAIN of goodies planned for the in-person Camp Chimera experience as well – stay tuned for those updates as we approach July!
We are stronger together as a community – get out there this month and show some pride for yourself and your loved ones! All Sticker Clubs have gone out the door – expect to start seeing them turn up in your mailbox later this week!
Can you believe my Spring Con Circuit has finally come to a close?! We managed to tackle both FWA and Furlandia back to back in May and they both were a success! FWA managed to sell me out of everything and allowed me to skedaddle home with nothing in my bags!
We managed a ZU/BU Reunion Meet-Up on Friday and had a blast yapping with so many of our wonderful alumni! The hype for Camp Chimera was real and made me sooooooooo excited for our meet-up at AnthroCon this summer!
Furlandia showed record breaking sales for a smaller, local con! AND it is moving to the Hyatt Regency next to the convention center, a VERY BIG DEAL!!!
I can only imagine how fun next spring will be with these developments and I hope you all can find a way to visit Portland in 2026!
This time last month we had 463 campers – we are now at 615!! INSANE!!!! Camp Chimera has had it’s doors open for roughly two weeks now and even without Daily Point Tasks and Merit Badges starting until June, it has been so community-oriented with activities happening every single day! Nightly movies, weekend marathons, camp commissions, random events and so much more!
We are gearing up for the start of daily tasks on June 1st and we hope to see you there!
My enemy…. The general updates section…
I have to say this Spring Con Circuit was especially difficult for me as I juggled personal medical hiccups and wayyyyyyyy too many cons back to back! After so much time off in the winter it was hard to adjust back into my solo-vending/traveling life when it comes to working cons. By FWA I finally felt like I had found my footing again so I am hoping I can stride through the summer months a lot more smoothly than I did the first half of this year.
This life is busy and hard but it is also so weirdly easy and great and I feel very lucky that this is my day to day!
It’s the beginning of summer so OF COURSE I’m happy, hahaha! I’m enamored with sunshine, life, people, art, EVERYTHING! July is usually meant for more personal art and time off so that is my carrot on a stick to get through the fun madness of June!
Here’s to CAMP! CAMP CHIMERA!!!!!! AND TO SUMMER!!!!!!!!
All my love my darling beans,
ZRAY
