Halloween
& More

A quiet Halloween in Asheville, election-night excitement, bathroom renovations, and some very fun MFF podcast news.

Once again, I let life get in the way and it’s been awhile since I posted a story here. But I digress. Halloween was kind of quiet here. Roommates Ziggy and Rune went to a wedding and left around 11 a.m. that day, while Resy was at Furpocalypse, a Halloween furry convention in Connecticut. So instead of just sitting around alone, I invited our friend Plag out around downtown. I chilled until around 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, had a drink or two, and waited for Plag to come over. Once he did, we headed out to downtown Asheville, North Carolina.

We had fun. I took him to two bars downtown—the first being Wicked Weed Brewing, where I let him try some sour beers and we had vodka drinks. From there, we went to an actual bar for a gin and tonic and a bourbon-based drink. Of course, we brought our fursuit heads and got stopped a couple times by people.

After we were finished, we ate some food back at the house and then headed back out to the oldest gay bar in North Carolina. We had two drinks and came back home. By that time, Rune and Ziggy were back from the wedding. It was pretty quiet, nothing too outrageous, but it was great hanging out with Plag.

Tuesday, November 3, election day came, and of course I was ready. I got some work done at my full-time job, then perched up at my computer with a drink in hand and called Max. We watched the election results come in and had a blast talking to each other—both very excited for the future based on the results.

Outside all of that, Resy came back and is still working on renovating the bathrooms. One is almost done! Rune, Plag, and I have been busy at the office and getting inventory ready for Bark Side at Midwest FurFest in December. I also got great news: Max and I’s podcast, Hexxed & Feral, will be hosting a panel at MFF on Friday night at 10 p.m. Look for it on the schedule: Hexxed & Feral Podcast: Candid Conversations. I can’t wait.

I’m still busy with my full-time job and goofing around with writing code for a POS system, so we’ll see what happens with that. There are new items in the shop for everyone to check out, too. I hope everyone has a wonderful early November. I’ll try to come back with another post by Thanksgiving—and keep listening to the podcast!
