another -3F morning with a light sprinkling of snow , well at least its still warm enough to snow.

for some reason my Ipod touch just died yesterday :(. i was just starting to get used to it too :(

i was at one of the clinics in town the other day, when i went to go on the elevator i was caught by my Eye doctor's husband :O now i have a eye appointment next week lol :P

i managed to help a friend find a job last week, he was out of work for almost a month now so i made some calls and he started the very next day working at a moving company. he started out ar $14 an hour and will get a $1 raise in two weeks :)

decent pay for up here and a lot of hours, only bad thing is its a lot of physical work and he has to work out in the cold, Alaska cold that is

he just moved up here this summer and wasn't really ready for winter work cloths so i gave him some of my old stuff and helped him buy some new winter gear.

Pittsburgh's Monthly Fur Meet!
When: Thursday, November 12, 2009
Time: 6:30pm – Closing
Where: Games N'at in Pittsburgh's South Side
http://www.gamesnat.com
Cost: $10 (Play all night!)

Arrive as early as you want and stay as late as you like! Games N'at also has the most reasonably priced snack bar that I've ever seen here in the area.

Shuffle up to the pool tables, get in some fast paced games of air hockey, try your paw at pinball or reminisce with a room full of arcade hits from the 80's. :) If you're not up for arcade games and such, there's plenty of room to sit and socialize or break out the sketchbooks and draw. They've even got a big screen television you can hook your Wii, Xbox or PS3 to if that is your thing.

Fursuits are welcome and tails and ears are encouraged.

So come on out and have some fun with fellow Pittsburgh Area furs and don't forget your art badges if you have'em! Show off who you are on the inside and let us know who you are. I know I stink at names. :)

For more information and directions, jump over to my webpage at www.swiftsden.net and scroll down to the Monthly Fur Meet section, or visit the Games N'at website at http://www.gamesnat.com!

Hope to see ya there!

It's time again for another One Book A Day featuring a different sponsoring author or publisher each day. Please take a moment every day this week to see who's gone to great effort and moderate expense to let you know about their work!

As we count down with excitement to Midwest FurFest 2009, a celebration of the tenth anniversary of Midwest FurFest, we wanted to talk about some of the things that might be helpful for you, whether you're an old hand at MFF or if this is your very first convention. We'll call this TEN THINGS THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT MIDWEST FURFEST!

Number Six: The Westin is a tall hotel.

The Westin Chicago North Shore is a sixteen-story hotel. It has four elevators. We are expecting over 2,000 people this year. You do the math.

The good news is that we have a team of friendly, helpful folks whose job it is to assist you in getting upstairs as quickly as possible. Last year we did a pretty good job of keeping the elevator waits to a minimum, and we plan to continue to do the same this year. We will need your patience and understanding to keep this system working, though. Please remember that the following people are permitted to move to the head of the elevator line without question (in order of priority):
1. Non-convention attendees (including food deliveries)
2. Those with impaired mobility
3. Fursuiters (with ONE handler)
No other exceptions will be made.

(And since it has been asked before: We initially attempted to have fursuit floors for the Westin, but had to give up when we realized that between the limited number of room types on each floor and the sheer number of fursuiters, we realized that "fursuit floors" would have been floors 3 through 12, at which point any benefit is lost.)

Additionally, here is something you may not know: There is a stairwell that you can take to your room! It is located outside of the Westin lobby entrance, on your right as you exit the front doors (as shown on this map). We only ask that you please not smoke in front of the stairwell door, as the smoke gets pulled directly into the stairwell.

That's all for this installment of TEN THINGS THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT MIDWEST FURFEST! Tune in tomorrow to see what Number Five will be.
