Its been a long and also crazy day, but finally in Ithaca, NY.
Now to relax a bit and start prepping for @ponyhwc.bsky.social this weekend!!

Little Jazz here is a troublemaker.

My camera bag got flagged during the scan and had about 5-6 Polizei officers come down because of it.
I thought maybe my camera or the batteries were the reason.

Nope, it was because of how Jazz was packed with the lens -_-
Other plushes were just fine. lol

Got my 2nd stein today based off the Ace of Aces himself, the Red Baron.

I always admired this aviation legend and now I have this.
Gonna drink a toast to him later on ^^

The moment when you are asleep and dreaming, singing a wonderful original song, to wake up and immediately tell yourself to record all that you can remember before you forget.

I did forget how it went within an hour, but it's a damn good thing I decided to record it lol

I'm super happy from my walk today. ^^

Stumbled upon a flea market that had these beautiful Swing Era albums (in amazing condition) and a complete, unopened set of the 100-year Coca Cola collection.

And my camera is on its way, so I can share more adventures once its in.

"I have rest of pretzel?"
"Well..."
"I take rest of pretzel."

Arrived in Kaiserslautern, Germany yesterday. Got lots of sleep and going to explore a bit of the city for my last day of leave.
Starting off with a lovely milchkaffee and brezel at a nearby cafe.

"Sunset Shimmer"
Nah, I got a Sunset Shroomer"

I'm a day late posting this, but I am officially back home from my 11-month deployment in Poland!

Got a few months to relax a bit before I leave to get stationed in Germany for 3-4 years.
Good news is that it is a Permanent Duty Station, so more freedom and I can cook there!!!

Almost home. We're making a stop in Ireland for a little bit.

Little Wanderer saw the tea and snacks section of the gift shop, so we had to pick up some delicious souvenirs.

Not too long now before I return back home to the states! Will get to see my family and friends soon.

Took a little visit to the ruins of Teutonic Castle in Torun, Poland and walked around the city.
Was really cool and little Wanderer was getting into trouble as usual.

Kicking off the new year, I present to you "The Last Alicorn"!!

This gorgeous parody was created by @maneingreen.bsky.social and I. Seriously, her composition of the piano and orchestra is breathtaking.

And how about that lovely art piece by @duskflare.bsky.social

Lets go @harmonycon.bsky.social!!!

So excited to soon be seeing all of the amazing attendees and fellow community guests this year.

And please do feel free to come talk to me or ask for advice about anything for conventions. Your safety and having a good time is my goal and biggest priority :)

A couple of us went to visit a school in one of the other villages in Poland.

Got to sit down with different groups of kids and make some cool candle holders, make some cookies and talk to them for a bit. Was really fun!

Apparently I ended up making the Ghost of Taco Bell Past.

"Onward, Jazz!"
"Enemy sighted at 3 o'clock!"
"Take 'em out! For the glory of @fiaura.bsky.social!!!"

I apologize for nothing lol. It was waaay to perfect a chance to pass up this photo moment.

"....pffftt."
"Yeah, yeah, hardy-har. Would you please get me down?...Im stuck..."
"Gee, I wonder how you figure that."
"...Last time I offer to help you with decorations."

Our chapel has christmas trees set up when I went to do song recordings, so I had a little bit of fun.

"I'm joining you for DnD tonight...for no particular reason...I already ate your Monk jerky."

Jerky is really good. Definitely a great snack for any class you might play.
