Just your average (or so I think) gryphon living their best (beast?) life in Japan. Been here for some time, though my language skills don't reflect that well. >.< I'm working on it, I swear!
JMoF2025 was awesome!

Two months to go until #JMoF2026! Con and hotel registrations are all set, so the biggest worries are taken care of. Just a bit of tweaking to do to my suit and some 3D prints to work on. Plenty of time to get everything done, but I’m not going to leave things until the last minute.
Can’t wait!

I had the chance to go to Saiboku - www.saiboku.co.jp - yesterday and it was amazing!
It's a "pork theme park" in Saitama, where the focus is on food. We just ate in the restaurant and did some shopping, but it was still well worth the trip.
Can't wait to go again!

Has anybody watched AMC's "Interview with the Vampire" series? I didn't even know it was a thing until watching a video of Comic-Con trailers - www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CVI... - and one for the third season showed up.

The new Bambu Lab P2S 3D printer looks pretty amazing, but for now it's only being sold as a combo in Japan. I have more of a need for multicolor printing than I do for the larger build volume, so I'm going to wait for the A1 Mini update and see what the Black Friday price is for the AMS 2 Pro.

JMoF 2026 reservations are locked in!

Still a bit of suit/gear prep to take care of, but I've got plenty of time to get all that sorted. Can't wait to go back!

I'd been thinking about making stickers or cards to share at cons, but then remembered getting challenge coins when I was in the military. I've got a 3-D printer, so why not make a furry version of those?
So I did!
Headshot on one side and a scannable QR code on the other.

In addition to leaning my way around 3-D printing, I've also been doing some simple coding.
Here's my first attempt at a digital con badge, which will probably get its first two-world use at JMoF 2026 in January.

More Protogen printing!
A friend suggested rotating the model in the slicer to make the thinner areas stronger. It seemed to work, and the print with supports looks very "fresh out of the vat." The support material looks like a lot, but it's mostly hollow.

Further adventures in 3-D printing!
I did a couple if upgrades yesterday - direct drive setup and swapped the plastic extruder parts for metal ones. One calibration cube and a few cali-dragons later, everything was coughing along nicely.

Finally sat down and started learning my way around 3-D printing. I think I've just about got things dialed in to where things come out decent enough that I can stop printing calibration models.
Figured I'd give my settings a proper test with this little Protogen.

Alaska does NOT mess around when it comes to warning signs.
Aside from saying "The bears will fucking kill you!" I don't see how much more plainly they could spell things out.

Hands down, the best restaurant/food truck name I've seen in a long time. The soup and grilled cheese were phenomenal.
If you find yourself in Seward, Alaska, do yourself a favor and drop by.

Went to the mall to get contacts yesterday and they had an animatronic T-Rex set up to promote the new Jurassic World movie. Not life-sized obviously, but still well-made. So much so that parents were parking strollers in front of it and filming the reactions of their toddlers.

I discovered this chicken shop yesterday, and am very glad I did! I tried their umashio and ginger varieties. Both were excellent, and I want more!
After looking up the chain online, I realized that they had a location across the street from the hotel I stayed in during JMoF. How did I miss that?!?

Tokyo Kemono Festival was very cool! It was a smaller event, with only about 170 people in attendance, but there were closer to 100 fursuiters, which is way above the typical ratio for a con.
I had a a lot of fun, make some new friends, and got great photos.

Finally! I'd seen ads for this taiyaki food truck for a while, but never saw the actual truck. Until today!
I got the okonomiyaki one, and it was fantastic! Every bit as tasty as it was cute. 😸
