Why keep a weblog? The answer to that will vary depending on who you ask, but at the end of the day, it can simply be helpful in so many ways, especially to us writers. Here I’ll discuss some common motivations for keeping a blog, but feel free to join in the comments with yourContinue reading “The Value of Blogging”

AnthroExpo 2026: The Comeback
Last weekend (Feb. 5-8), I attended my first event of the new year: AnthroExpo 2026 in Norman, OK. I once again vended in the Artist Alley portion of the convention, but the results were very different…
2025: A Year in Review
Greetings, and welcome to my final post of 2025! In this I will again be taking a look at my vending experiences throughout the year (I made no less than 12 this time!), but also just a general look at how things have come along and where they might be headed.
Texas Again: Bookselling at ACFI
This past weekend, I was once again selling from behind the Bluedrake Books table, this time at Alamo City Furry Invasion in San Marcos, TX. This experience was quite different from the weekend before at Gateway FurMeet, and indeed from many other experiences as a vendor.
A New Character Arch: Vending at Gateway FurMeet
This past weekend, I visited St. Louis, Missouri to try my hand at vending in yet another new venue: Gateway Furmeet (GFM).
Tulsa Times Two: Vending at TTFC 2025
Last weekend, I returned to Tulsa, OK to participate as a vendor at Tails and Tornadoes FurCon for the second year in a row. Some of you will recall that this particular convention proved to be my best vending experience of 2024. This year, things were a little bit different…
Back to the Big D: TFS 2025
Hello, everyone! It’s been a little while since I made a normal post, for which I apologize. But things are finally settling down after the last couple months of upheaval, so I hope to get back to regular posting again here soon. Beginning with a run-down on last weekend’s experience at Texas Furry Siesta!
Deepest South: Vending at StratosFur 2025
This past weekend, I attended StratosFur 2025, a furry convention in Houston, Texas. While Friday was a bit of a debacle, I managed to get a seat in the Artist Alley on Saturday, June 7th and Sunday, June 8th. Here’s how it went…
The Big One: Fan Expo Dallas
Until this year, I had never been to a comic con as an attendee, much less as a vendor. The largest event I’d ever vended at was Texas Furry Fiesta this April with 8650 attendees, and it went quite well. While Fan Expo doesn’t seem to keep such exacting figures, I’ve read estimates of upContinue reading “The Big One: Fan Expo Dallas”
Harry’s Hay Days…Not Mine
Last Saturday, I vended at my first outdoor event of the year (and yes: my first outdoor event since the disasters of October): Harry’s Hay Days in Grandview, Missouri. It was not a disaster, but nor did it compare to the glowing success of my first street fair a year ago.
