Thinking it’s a scam I did some digging. 1st of all they are the only so called company buy and selling online businesses. The other is they only had their domain for the last 7 months. Not 13 years as claimed

Their building

Which as it turns out is one of those places where anyone can rent out office space.

You might have noticed I delinked there site. To be honest there is nothing there, no web site period the last time I checked.

By the way that is the only email I ever got from them. I think someone realized that attempting to a small biz domain is dumb. There are way too many options.

Besides if anyone actually wanted to buy my domain. I have 1 question for them “WHY?!!!”

I shared this as a warning for those who have domains, if it’s too good to be true. It usually is.

MFF is just over a month away and a friend and I have already made plans. I know that sounds crazy but MFF being so BIG also makes things a bit complicated. Like how to get from Point A to B, and where is that panel room is exactly.

Even though they did post a schedule, and it’s not official as it leaves out The Sponsor Brunch, which is frankly about 90% of why I get a Sponsor Badge. The food is always excellent and more than I can eat. Yes I will be making videos, they will more be split between our YouTube accounts. Speaking of food it’s a bit better this year as roughly a mile from MFF is a few really nice places to eat, that won’t having you take out a loan to buy food. Let’s not forget that Poke bowl place that usually sits in the Lobby of the Convention Center.

Then there is Denny’s, last year it became a real hangout for Furries.

Also a quick message to those staying at hotels, try and keep your room clean and toss your own trash whenever possible.

There is not much to say about MFF and the way I cover it. More or less the same as last year.

Future Plans

Indy Fur Con will be my extra con for next year, and I plan to stay at the main hotel. Unsure what the con means on their site openly wondering about Venue Plans. But it still way early to their next event around 8 months from now.

I know if they don’t move I will be eating at the Waffle House again

The Republicans can say what they want. BTW the orange one wanted to send roughly 500 troops to stop this. Literally how can 500 stop 100,000+ . I say plus because what you may not have heard the Cops stopped all traffic in and nearby downtown. Speaking of cops, I give many of them a big furry hug for being apart of this march. Officially they monitored the situation. But many were seen laughing and joking with the protesters.

One rumor I am already hearing it took a thunderstorm to break up the last of them. That happened around 8PM

So how big was it? Officially I am not going to say if I was there or not. But from my view if someone told me they has 500,000 I would not be surprised, one Union already posted a few had 7 million combined.

Nov 4th is Mid terms looks like we already know how it’s going to turnout

It seems everyone was outraged when Kimmel was dropped. The writers, the actors even Ted Cruz was pissed off. The reason why Kimmel has a lot of friend on both sides. He even stated that in last night’s monologue. But what you may not know this extends to members of Congress. Ever noticed his list of guests. Ask yourself this, if they truly hated him, why were they on his show?

Speaking of which everyone was pissed off. Except hardline idiots who I would bet would give you the death sentence for chewing gum.

You might be wondering about why that image? Kimmel is on YouTube and it doesn’t matter who owns what. You can watch it on YouTube and it’s 100% legal and it’s there. From my understanding that new episode of Kimmel isn’t even on Hulu currently. To be legal that’s as of 6:23am 9-24-2025

It’s honestly nice to have Jimmy Kimmel back.

I was recently contacted by the Furry Protection Network for an official endorsement. Which this isn’t, to be honest how can’t I endorse anyone group based upon a few DMs. I have nothing against anyone, just these days the term, “Watch Your Back”. Is something more of us really need to do.

I suggested that once they get a few gatherings without issue. Then I will look at this deal again.

I have screenshot our conversation all because “I am watching my back”, same with this post if any issues a raise.

Fred Patten is well known about the furry community. I was grateful before his passing that I was able to do an interview. I have never told anyone, and frankly only his friends knew he was a frighten old man. Who really felt intimidated.

It seems Patch O’Furr and Dogpatch Press are refusing to abide by Fred Patten’s Final Wish.

You see in his later years Fred Patten wrote 100s of reviews. I don’t quite understand the circumstances but Dogpatch Press got all of them. Before Mr. Patten’s death Patch O’Furr was slowly releasing them. But had to stop when they died.

I found out from one of Mr. Patten’s friends a letter was sent to Dogpatch Press which included his final wish.

That was to release every review online, either a free site or archive dot org

To this very date Patch O’Furr has simply refused to release them.

I am not asking for the reviews, I just want them to be shared to the entire furry fandom. Possibility Furry Preservation or Furry Writer’s Guild
