[ NEWSLETTER ] - May

Have you gotten fresh flowers for your home yet? Maybe this is a sign to pick up a little bouquet for yourself! Welcome to May, my friends! It baffles me month after month to see time fly the way it does, but we carry on! Let’s dive in!

IN THIS NEWSLETTER:

• CON UPDATES

• MAY STICKER

• FWA PLANS

• ZU/BU RIVALRY REUNION

• CAMP CHIMERA UPDATES

• GENERAL UPDATES

I am excited to announce I was accepted to vend in the Furry Migration Dealer’s Den! This con is held in Minneapolis, MN between Sept 4-7! Originally I had thought Furrydelphia and Furry Migration shared a closer schedule, but I discovered they are actually two weeks apart! While I have not paid for my FM table quite yet, I will keep you posted regarding my whereabouts this September once I make a decision!

My next upcoming con will be Furry Weekend Atlanta in Atlanta, GA between May 7-11! I will be in the Dealer’s Den all three days with a BOOTH! You can find me at C6! As expected, I’ll be tabling beside the incredible Peri Pendrake and while we may not have an ultra-themed set up this year, we do have a few fun tricks up our sleeves. Come find us and find out, maybe? ;)

What can they put on the grill for you, hot dogs or… marshmallows?! We’ve officially hit prime BBQ season! All Sticker Clubs have gone out the door – expect to start seeing them turn up in your mailbox starting next week!

Can you believe it’s nearly time to skedaddle over to Atlanta together?! You will be able to find me in the FWA Dealer’s Den at Booth C6 Friday-Sunday! The con is tackling new Den Hours this year: all days will be 10:00AM - 6:00PM!

I will be hosting a Vendor Bingo this year, so swing by to snag your card while they last and see if you can race to be the first Bingo Black Out!

Thanks to the Spring Pre-Order, all sizes for the Tigers & Poppies Long Sleeve Tee will be available at FWA alongside a chunk of new items from the spring drop collection! We just might have a few sneak peeks regarding Camp Chimera Merchandise as well… 👀

HOW HAS IT BEEN A YEAR SINCE YOU ALL GRADUATED?! How time flies… I can’t believe it’s time for your 1-YEAR ZU/BU REUNION!

Want to reconnect with your classmates? Exchange yearbooks for signing? Get some photo ops in? Maybe you want to honor Chai (who broke their foot bone) during our Rock/Paper/Scissors tournament?

 Don’t miss the University Rivalry Reunion hosted at FWA – FRIDAY, MAY 9TH @ 7:00PM! Find us at the same location as last year’s meet: Hilton Hotel 5th Floor Center Atrium!

Within the first 24 hours we managed to have 200 campers join, and by week’s end we had hit 300! In roughly three weeks, we hit 400! In a little under a month Camp Chimera has garnered 463 campers! WOW!! 

We are thrilled to be opening the full Camp Discord Server’s doors in a little over two weeks. We hope to see you in there when you all finally develop the power to… speak?!

I was a little wary to shift back into traveling for work again after three months of being home. The back to back TFF/LVFC gauntlet was daunting, but it did throw me back into the routine of flying and con prep. Now… remind me to never do two cons where I only get to sleep in my bed two nights before traveling again, haha! 

TFF is always a blessing to attend and I was even able to pack up and head home a full day early due to selling out! LVFC is a vacation within a con with the resort and venue!

While I’m happy to be home for a slightly longer period of time (and even longer so after I tackle FWA), it IS nice to do cons again! I truly cannot wait until AnthroCon to celebrate Camp together!

This section of the newsletter always just feels like my disassociated yapping, but I’m tired!! And that’s OK!!! For now I’ll wrap up for this month and I’m sure we will talk soon on the discord!! Bye friends!!!
