Zarafa Giraffe =>Confuror, NYC, MFF, ANW, FC

And now for something completely different: on my way to Guadalajara Mexico for #Confuror2026! New con, new city, new country! Looking forward to meeting new fuzzies and seeing old friends! At SFO now, arriving late tonite!

Eeee! Tonite is @frolic.bsky.social, our local furry dance party in SF. I expect to be on the dance floor till the wee hours! Looking forward to seeing all you fuzzbutts there!

This is the view from where I am working today. From the bathroom, no less. :O I sometimes forget how beautiful it is where I live, and it’s good to be reminded that there is beauty everywhere. :)

Me and @tormyst.bsky.social have a conversation about Very Important Purple Things. :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @shutterwolf.net

An adorable plush fursona keychain made by @leighsdragons.bsky.social, a gift from @suntattoowolf.bsky.social I love this!

And here it is! Presenting the #PurplePic from #BLFC2026 / @goblfc.org. Big thanks to all the Purple Furs that showed up! And thank you to @shutterwolf.net for taking the pic!

Last minute change of plans: looks like I’ll be at @roarpartysac.bsky.social in Sacramento after all! A good antidote to BLFC PCD! See all you fuzzbutts soon!

By the way, I have had the best cheesesteak I have EVER had, outside the Philadelphia area, at Chickie & Pete’s, inside the GSR! As my friends know, and as a former Philadelphian, this is high praise. :) So for those of you coming to #BLFC/ @goblfc.org next year, check them out!

And with that, another #BLFC2026/ @goblfc.org comes to a close! I had a great time, as usual! Once again, huge thanks to the staff and volunteers who work so hard so we can have so much fun. See you next year!

It’s happeninggggg! The #PurplePic at @goblfc.org / #BLFC2026 is happening at the Fursuit Festival on WEDNESDAY at the MAIN STAGE! Be there and be purple!

Early this past summer, I took @relaxingdragon.bsky.social and @ratpats.bsky.social on a long planned tour of NYC. I ran them all around the city for 4 days. This amazing piece of gift art by @katnay.bsky.social was the result, a gift from RD. :)

Woooo! Just checked into the Grand Sierra, looking forward to 4 days of getting fuzzy at @goblfc.org / #BLFC2026! See all you fuzzbutts out and about!

Come take my paw! Let’s go on an adventure! #FursuitFriday 📷: @foxfrommars.bsky.social

Hey Bay Area furs! Don’t forget! The Berkeley furmeet is happening TOMORROW, 10/6 at 7pm, at LaVal’s pizza on Euclid. Come join in for low key socializing and good pizza!

Being in the middle of a puppy sandwich at SF’s Frolic (@frolic.bsky.social) is not a bad place to be! :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @coastalkangaroo.bsky.social

On the road again! My recovery and cleanup from Burning Man is mostly complete. Heading to ASC in SoCal today. I had to miss this con last year due to my surgery, so attending this year is a celebration of making it through all that, 1 yr later. Whew! See all you SoCal fuzzbutts soon!

It’s #FursuitFriday; its also the 25th annivers’y of 9/11. Hard to have levity 2day. I watched the towers get built as a kid,was in them,under them,on top of them. I was supposed to fly home from SoCal that day,drove my rental car home instead. Its a day to be thoughtful.📷: @manedcalico.bsky.social

Whew! *taps mic*. Is this thing on? Back on the grid after a week at Burning Man! As usual, an amazing, emotional, intense, hard-to-describe experience. It rained AGAIN! But I’ll be back next year! Featuring: the Man Burn,Temple Burn, THAT sign, & just 1 art piece from a playa filled with many. :)

It is time for my annual “Full truck” pic, as I make my way to Burning Man. It is hard to understate how important it’s been in my own personal journey. My life completely changed; I wouldn’t be a fur without it.This is my 20th Burn; now I go as a pilgrimage, to go back to where it all happened. :)

Speaking of purple, here it is! The #PurplePic from @furrydelphia.org/ #FD2026! Big thanks to all the purples for showing up, and a huge thank you to Jay the Bear for being our photographer!

Maybe you can’t fight City Hall, but you can certainly purple it up a bit! :) #FursuitFriday (Philly’s City Hall). 📷: Akai

For #FursuitFriday, four giraffes! FOUR! That’s Denden (giraffe/wolf hybrid), @giraffeloopy.bsky.social, Rogue Geoffrey (he has no social media so that’s what we call him. :) ) and me! Taken at @anthrocon.org 2026! 📷: @mattthegiraffe.bsky.social

Since I grew up in Philly, it was a real thrill when I went to @furrydelphia.org to fursuit in my hometown. I simply HAD to get some fursuit pics at local landmarks. For those who know, this shot at the top of the Art Museum steps (aka the Rocky steps) meant so much on so many levels. :) 📷: Akai

An amazing gift badge from @sorcery.bsky.social, done at @Furrydelphia 2026! I love it!

I know this feeling all too well. Please re-post.

Another banger Roar! Ori and I always have a blast hanging out and dancing with silly animal people. I love my local community of critters 💜🤍🖤 Will be posting photos, like this one I finally got with @zarafa.bsky.social. It was a pleasure talking to you!

Getting a high five from Freddy Fazbear! Just another day at San Diego Comic Con. :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @manedcalico.bsky.social

Final count for sampling Philly cuisine classics while at @furrydelphia.org for the weekend: 3 hoagies 2 cheesesteaks 1 pizza 1 soft pretzel (was gonna get more at the airport, but with all the flight chaos it never happened) I had to have a salad on the way home. :)

Enroute home from Philly, tough travel day. Flight PHL-OAK: cancelled! My FD roomie lives near Pittsburgh, so I rebooked a flight PIT-OAK. Roomie drove me across all of PA today. PIT flight delayed, missing connection in Chicago. At PIT,SW agent booked me on yet another flight to OAK via DEN. WHEW!

Bye, Philly! I had a great time at @FD2026/ @furrydelphia.org. It was my first time at FD, and my first time suiting in my home town! I had SO MANY cheesesteaks and hoagies! Huge thanks, as always, to the staff and volunteers, who work so hard so we can party hard. :) 📷: Akai Okami

Saturday fursuit pics from FD! Featuring @torahikon.bsky.social, @pabstshepherd.bsky.social, Trexler, @togowolf11.bsky.social and Fang Z. Furry, @kevinuniverse.bsky.social, @sunsetthefox.bsky.social, @kodajackal.bsky.social, Neo, @coopertom.bsky.social, @lykik.bsky.social and @zarafa.bsky.social!

The local-to-Philly theming at @furrydelphia.org is fantastic! On the left is an actual SEPTA (Philly’s transit system) fare card. On the right is my SHEPTA pass to the after dark event Saturday nite. I had to show my ID at a fare booth w/an unintelligible speaker system. Perfect! :)

Hey Purple Fursuiters at @furrydelphia.org/ #FD2026! There will be a #PurplePic TOMORROW (Saturday), after the big group fursuit photo! Meet outside the Main Events ballroom, near the haunted subway car, at 3:30pm or whenever the group photo ends. Look for me, the purple giraffe!
