 | You scored as Simba. You are Simba! You've suffered immense hardships, but you can see the larger picture, realizing that there is light at the end of the tunnel as long as you continue on. Family and best friends are sacred to you and you would leap to defend them at any time, at whatever cost. You also have a tendency to be sentimental, sometimes allowing your emotions to supercede your better judgement. And yet, at other times, you're not enough in tune with your emotions. You need to find an equal balance between faith and logic. You're still great, though, overall!

Well, this weekend we had the final pawpet show rehearsal before Eurofurence. We were quite busy, unfortunately some props and puppets are still missing (but they will be ready for Eurofurence!), and it was countless hours of hard work. On Saturday, we played the three acts in reverse order as some scenes in act three and two are quite tricky to play and we wanted to play them while concentration was still available. It was, um, a bit tenacious and the timing was off quite a number of times. No reason to be bothered, though, as this is usually the turning point at which we start to get a real feeling for the timing. And indeed, the rehearsal on Sunday was much better, almost perfect. Much better concentration, more self-confidence, and nearly perfect timing. I'm now completely confident that it will be a great show this year again. For those attending Eurofurence: don't miss it! No, really. Do not miss it under any circumstances. It will be incredibly funny, tragic, moving, nonsensical and supercalifragilisticexpialidotious! Get addicted!
Well, not many news, but nevertheless news...
This morning, the postman — or rather: postwoman — was ringing at my door and gave me an envelope.
In case someone reads this who's not familiar with the European furry fandom: one of the highlights of each year's Eurofurence convention is a so-called pawpet show, a puppet show for (almost) grown-ups. I'm honoured to be allowed to contribute to that show as a stagehand and occasionally supporting puppeteer for the fourth year now.
...that I didn't write about my parents visiting me last weekend. They arrived on Thursday evening here (gave me plenty of time to clean up my place *ahem*), spent the Friday in the Old Town of Nuremberg while I was at work and afterwards we visited the Frankonian Beerfestival -- which is actually an oversized beer garden in the moat... But the beer was good and the mood quite relaxed.
I'm on TV!
This year, Mephit Mini Con was a blast, despite of all the stress the days before. As bigbluefox already mentioned, some of us took part in a recording session with a German TV team to capture some fursuit action and interviews on Thursday (more on this later, when I've seen the actual report), which meant that I had to arrive in time. I feared that this would be near impossible, as Reesa, Eisfuchs and BlackDragon where travelling with me and the A9 from Bayreuth to Nuremberg was closed due to an accident for several hours. But everyone arrived in time, we even managed to stuff all luggage, including a complete electronic drum kit and a guitar, into my car without having something or someone leaving behind...
