Wow, I can't believe I actually won! That was a very kickass fursuit I just beat! I am actually floored! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! I couldn't have done it without you! :'D

I have a very VERY difficult round next round (as they all will be from now on), but that's going to be more than a week away. For now though, there are more relevant things to worry about, and that includes my promise I made if I actually won.

I'm going to make another video of me playing an instrument in fursuit (guitar or bass). I probably won't make it a cut-and-edit video unless I really get inspired, because I'm going to actually try playing the song and not just cutting the video to look like I am. However if I can't play some of it in suit, or I can't get a straight, uncut take, I'll piece it together, or include some other clips of other stuff to make it interesting.

Now the question I have for you guys is this... What song should I play? Any requests? (Do NOT tell me FREEBIRD! Although I said that if I make it into the Sweet 16 in the Tourney, that I would play it).

Chances are I will be a lot more likely to play a song I like, so since you probably know what style I'm into, you'd be best served staying around that vein. But this isn't any formal ballot or anything, so you can make multiple suggestions. If I get more interest for a particular song, I'll consider that one more strongly. But in the end, I'll pick a song I like that I want to play and that I think the most people would enjoy watching me play. :)

So let the suggestions flow! Let's do this! ^^

And thanks again for voting me into the next round! I hope you enjoy your reward! :)

Holy Crap, I'm in Round 3 of the Fursuit Tourney (FFFF)! O_o How did I end up here?!

Oh yeah, that's right, because of awesome folks like you guys, who ever-so-generously mosey on over to vote for me! Without you guys, I wouldn't have lasted past the prelims. ^^

And now the time has come to vote again! I'm up against a very tough opponent! Mannheim's suit has pretty much streamrolled the competition to this point, and I would not be surprised if this were where my inspiring run in the contest comes to an end.

BUT THERE'S NO QUIT IN THIS TIGER!

I need your help to get me past the awesomeness that is Mannheim and into the next round! Right now I'm leading (!!!!) in part thanks to a very kind and kick-ass endorsement on FA by the amazing bucktowntiger. And because I assume that people are actually watching my video before voting (YAY!!!) and are judging on that more than just a picture. :)

So please, run on over and lend me your vote! (click on the image below)




And, because getting into the 4th round would be a HUGE event for me, I promise that if I make it to the next round, I will make another video of me in fursuit playing another song (on guitar or bass) and upload it to YouTube! It's the very least I can do to thank you all for your support. ^__^

Thanks so much!

The priest giving the eulogy at Billy Mays' funeral should be required to yell the entire thing...

I know I know, it's another LJ post about the Fursuit Tourney, and this time it's not even about me! Sorry about that, but this is important!

My buddy bucktowntiger is only 12 6 votes down in the Fursuit Tourney!!! I implore you to vote for him if you haven't already, because Bucktown is a sweet guy, a VERY talented musician (seriously, check out his songs on FA! He's played concerts at most all furry cons including Anthrocon! All furry music! It's very good!) and because he's a Tiggie, and that makes him awesome!

Seriously though, please vote for him. It's really rare that the fursuit battles are THIS CLOSE! And he can still win! The contest ends on Wednesday! So what are you waiting for?

Help a tiggie out, and make another tiggie happy while doing so! ^___^

Come on Bucktown, you're almost there!

Thankies everyone! ^^
