Fur Party!

周五晚上有兽友请整个渥太华的兽群开party耶!人出奇的多!至少有30只。大家聊天跳舞泡澡都很高兴呢。某只哈士奇还喝醉了,哈哈~不过卡库尔呢?缠着兽装穿着者和DJ不放~一定很讨厌吧?不过竟然也能够做出完美的乐曲转换,看来学到了什么呢。

郊外晚上的星星好多,不过端着运行Stellarium的电脑绕了七八圈,也没看出来哪颗到底是哪颗。

On Friday night another furry invited the whole Ottawa furry community for a party. There were surprisingly many people! At least 30 critters attended. Everyone chatted, danced, ate, gamed and spent a bit of time in the pool, all enjoying the event. There’s also a husky furry who got himself drunk, nyahaha~ As for Kakur me? Chasing around fursuiters and DJ all night~ must be annoying, no? But I did a perfect song transition too, seems I’ve learned something.

So many stars in the suburban night sky, but couldn’t figure out with one is which even after turning myself around several times holding a computer running Stellarium.

嗯~这次来的兽装穿着者是 Da-Fox。嗯……在 Howie 和 Deoge 搬走之后 Da-Fox 似乎是渥太华兽群中剩下的不多的兽装表演者之一了。穿着兽装在节奏中摆弄荧光棒的 Da-Fox 很帅哦。Zets 也来了这次聚会,不过没有穿兽装,好可惜~ 另外带兽装来的还有 774狐(误),被生活中缺少兽装的 Da-Fox (在早晨六点) 抱来抱去。 Da-Fox 早晨还做了香肠呢,但是卡库没吃到,残念…… 早晨卡库拉迪放了一些FursuitTV,大家似乎都很爱看。

丈量房间 (绝不是简单的任务) 的结果是我的房间是奇怪的五边形。这样橱柜放哪里啊?兽装的存放,大家似乎都有自己的方法。Da-Fox 用的是塑料容器,很适宜飞机行李的那种大箱子。774狐(误)用的是大麻袋垃圾袋。Zets就简单地找了把椅子把兽装架在上面。

Hmm~ Da-Fox is the fursuiter who came this time. Hmm… after Howie and Deoge moved away, Da-Fox seems to be one of the few fursuiters left in the Ottawa region. Pretty handsome was Da-Fox in his suit playing the glowsticks in the beats. Zets came to this meet too, but didn’t wear his fursuit, so disappointing~ Also came with a fursuit is 774fox (no, it’s actually Nanashifox), who was hugged over and over by Da fursuit deficient Fox. Da-Fox also made sausages in the morning, but Kaku didn’t get to eat it, zannen… In the morning Kakurady played some FursuitTV, everybody seem to like watching it.

Measuring the room (not an easy task) yields the result that my room is a strange pentagon. Where do I put the shelves like that? When it comes to fursuit storage, everyone seem to have their own ways. Da-Fox uses a plastic container, one of these big boxes very suitable for airplane luggage. 774fox used large linen garbage bags. Zets simply got a chair and propped the fursuit on it. (Which gave his mom, who was expecting a much larger head, quite a surprise.)

今天去布艺店买别针,因为想做兽装的尾巴,可是别针找不到了。看到我带来的兽装制作指南,店员竟然问 “你是不是furry”?原来有兽竟然委托她制作兽装!不过可惜的是店里还没有进毛毛布呢。分享了一些兽装制作网站。

Went to buy safety pins at the fabrics store today, because I want to make the tail of the fursuit, but can’t find the pins. Seeing my fursuit construction guide, the store staff surprised me with the question, “are you one of those furries”? Turns out a furry has commissioned her to make a fursuit! Unfortunately the store haven’t stocked fur rolls yet. Shared some fursuit construction websites.

最后尾巴还是没有开始制作。
And yet in the end, work on the tail still haven’t started.

Fursuit construction progress / 兽装制作进度:0% (0/9)

第一次兽聚! Huzzyah!

上周日有兽跑到WikiFur聊天室询问渥太华有没有兽人爱好者聚会,卡库尔正好听说过一个渥太华兽控论坛,于是就告诉了他。后来看到周五就有这样的兽聚,心想也许能碰到那个人,于是决定——出发!
Last Sunday a fur came to #wikifur asking if there’s a furry meetup in Ottawa,  Kakur me happen to have heard of a Ottawa fur fan forum, so I told him about it. Later seeing that there’s such a meet on Friday, thinking maybe I would be able to meet that person, so I decided to – check it out!

最后很可惜没碰到,但是仍然非常开心——因为有6个穿兽装的。六个!(因为正好有从安大略省其他地方过来的兽。)以及一大帮其他的人来参加这次兽聚。
In the end it’s disappointing that I wasn’t able to find him, but I still enjoyed myself – because there were 6 fursuiters. Six! (Since there were furs coming from other places in Ontario.) And a bunch of other people, too, coming for this furmeet.

约定集合的地点,是市中心的战争纪念碑,离住的地方只有20分钟的路程。陆陆续续地有兽开始聚集,聊天拍照。也有几位和卡库尔一样是新来的,所以经常会听到有人问名字。然后两个穿兽装的家伙出现了 (都是狗),然后就开始乱抱人。唔……真的好毛!虽然渥太华还没有完全入春,但是他们说就是这样的天气兽装里面还是很热呢。(好羡慕……卡库尔快冻死了……)
The meeting place is the War Memorial in downtown, only 20 minutes walk from where I live. Furries started coming one by one, chatting, taking photos. Some are new too, like Kakurady, so people asking each others’ names can be heard often. Then two people in fursuits appeared (both dogs) and started to randomly hug other people. Mmm…so warm and fluffy! Even though Ottawa has not completely entered spring, they told me that it is hot inside fursuits despite the cold weather. (Which makes me so envious… it’s freezing outside…)

然后众人开始向Byward Market进发!绕了一大圈,不时停下来合影拍照什么的。
Then everyone started marching towards Byward Market! Went for a loop, stopping to take pictures and stuff.

这天似乎有许多学校组织出来春游,市场有三台校车,反向前去议会广场的时候也有许多的学生。不少兽边走边扎堆儿聊天,卡库尔则是基本上缠绕着兽装者不放!还好他们似乎并不在意,还很高兴。
Many schools have arranged field trips for that day, there were three school buses in the market, and much students on the way back to parliament square. Many furs chatted along the way, but Kakurady basically just went around the fursuiters! They didn’t seem to mind, though, and instead were quite happy about it.

到了议会广场之后来了三位新的兽装者,原来三位跑去脱掉 (也是很热的呀),又打闹了一会儿。然后到Rideau Centre的美食广场吃了点东西,一天的活动基本上就结束了,有几位兽继续去吃自助寿司,剩下的则各奔东西。
After arriving at the parliament hill, three new fursuiters came and the original three went to un-suit (it is hot inside), and then everyone played a bit. We then ate at Rideau Centre food court, and that was the end of the day’s activity, with some furs going for sushi buffets and the rest going their ways.

值得一提的是超活力社工浣熊Zets。无论是穿着兽装还是没穿,都一直相当精力充沛。这一点有点像Torley Linden? 而且是扎马尾的浣熊,好可爱。(不知道棒球队还是什么队的吉祥物的鸡看到一只(竟然是!)浣熊跑来合影, 心里是什么想法呢?……)
Worthy of mention is Hyperactive Social Worker Raccoon Zets. No matter if he’s in suit or out of suit, he’s always very energetic. Reminds me bit of Torley Linden. And he’s a raccoon in a ponytail, how cute. (I wonder what the chicken mascot of was-that-a-baseball-team-or-some-other-kind-of-sports-team thought when he sees a freaking raccoon coming up to take a picture with him, though?)
