Sitting in the lobby, now all packed up and looking back the very first year of @tailsofsummer.com and words utterly fail me. We brought 752 furries together and made something truly magical! I know every chair waxes poetically about their convention but I truly believe in what we did here.

I could not have done any of this without #TeamTails behind me. I will say this was not an easy road and we had some hard challenges to overcome. We had three months to pull this event from shuttering to success. I drove hard, asked a lot of my staff and asked for their faith in my leadership.

And I watched all of them grow and pull together into a found family that truly accomplished the impossible. A special thanks to @shadowsmyst.bsky.social who fiercely had my back, listened to my thousands of questions. I would not be the woman or leader I am today without her guidance and wisdom.

Another shoutout to @shakaar.bsky.social for being a mentor and friend when I needed one most. I still remain convinced hotel math is witchcraft … but he might be the grand wizard.
