Ok, I'll be honest: I'm never going to get around to uploading those vacation photos and writing out the rest of it. Moving on! The young cousin we met last year on vacation is coming to America to visit! The plan is right around the same time last year. My father is quite excited and has found a festival to go to with him and then were going to show him around the Midwest. The catch is, the tail-end of the visit overlaps with my plans to attend Anthrocon. While it's becoming increasingly difficult to obscure where I'm going to be, I think it'll work out. There's just 3 days where my folks won't be available, before I'll be off to AC. Since it doesn't make sense to work 3 days in between two vacations, I've taken them off as well (leaving me with only 4 more in my time bank! eek!) But, since I'll be available, I'll be expected to entertain my cousin for some of those 3 days. Hmmm, well there's a Bowling Alley nearby...

As most of you know, a bunch of us from here are going to AnthroCon next year. I would really like to have something memorable for everyone to take home (besides the wonderful memories), and I've decided to go with buttons! These buttons will be 3 inches round and the winner of the contest will have their design on it. Anyone is welcome to enter in the contest, even if you aren't going. (If you aren't, I will mail a button to you.) The design should reflect the Phoenixed Forums somehow, let it be abstract or the phoenix itself. Your imagination is the limit, and you can submit up to three designs. It should also have the year on it (It would be ideal to make meet-ups an annual thing, with a new button every year.) The close out date for submissions will be December 1st, 2016. There will be a poll for the winning design soon after. If there are any questions feel free to ask here, or PM me. If there is an important detail I missed I will update this opening post.
